An Investigation Of Concurrent Variations In Blood Oxygen Saturation And Cerebral Blood Flow During Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Sleep apnea derived from Greek word "apnoia" which means "without air or temporary interruption in breathing", is a sleep - associated breathing disorder that involves a decrease or complete stop in airflow despite a ...
Performance Of Wavelet Denoising And Automatic Detection Of Action Potentials On Simulated And Real Electrneurographic Recordings
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
About 1 in 200 people living in the U.S have had an amputation at some stage in their lives. Development of neurally controlled artificial limb prosthesis with the ability to finely control motor activity continues to prove ...
Development of Magnetic-based Multi-layer Microparticles For Stem Cell Isolation, Enrichment And Detachment
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Stem cells have been studied and used in several cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine, 3D tissue-engineered scaffolds, and in vitro models for drug screening and testing. For instance, cell based therapy via the ...

The overall goal of the study was to develop a delivery system for a potential bone tissue engineering application focusing on fabrication of gelatin microbubble (MB) based PLGA scaffolds capable of recruiting Mesenchymal ...
Surface Modification Of Magnetic Nanoparticles For Formulation Of Photoluminescent Polymer-coated Magnetic Nanoparticles To Detect And Treat Cancers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Cancer has been one of the leading causes of death worldwide that necessitates the development of theranostic systems for effective cancer management. Previously, we developed biodegradable-photoluminescent polymer coated ...
Measurement Of Transverse Relaxation Times Of Cerebral Metabolites In Brain Tumors
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Proton (¹H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a non-invasive means of assessing metabolite concentration for a range of biologically important cerebral compounds in vivo. To extract quantitative information, ...
Development Of A Model To Simulate The Single-limb Stance Phase Of Walking To Determine The Limits Of Stability
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Falls during walking are the primary cause of injuries for older persons and present a high associated cost to society due to the resulting treatment. Hence, the control of balance while moving is an essential issue ...
Microfluidic Device For Determining Preferential Cell Migration Toward Extracellular Matrix Proteins
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins interact with cells in bodily microenvironments by influencing their essential cellular processes in growth, survival, migration and repair after injury. In this study, a novel microfluidic ...
