Model Driven Analysis Of Optical Reflectance Spectroscopy For Detection Of Human Prostate And Kidney Cancers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Renal cell carcinoma is one of the most common forms of kidney cancer originating from the renal tubule. During surgery, it is difficult for the surgeons to identify the cancer tissue from the normal tissue and also the ...
A Novel Approach For MRI Image Classification And Image Retrieval
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
OBJECTIVE: Classification of MRI image data based on its attribute characteristics is very important for storing the image data and its efficient retrieval. This project aims to find a solution to the problem of classification ...
Influence Of Hypoxia, Hypercapnia And Inspiratory Efforts On Sympathoexcitation During Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by frequent periods of apnea resulting in hypoxia, hypercapnia and fluctuations of intrathoracic pressure (inspiratory efforts). Hypoxia, hypercapnia and inspiratory efforts ...
Foreign Body Reactions To Neural Implants In The Brain
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Neural implants have been used and studied for many decades. They are applied to record neural signals or to locally deliver drugs. Unfortunately, foreign body reaction and accompanied glial scar formation often lead to ...
Regenerative Peripheral Neurointerfacing Of Upper Extremity Prostheses
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Current robotic prosthetic devices provide limited functionality to the user as they rely on gross myogenic control and lack critical sensory feedback needed for fine movement control. Interfacing the nervous system with ...
Influence Of Polymer Surface Chemistry On The Recruitment Of Stem Cells In Mice
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The most troublesome biological response to the implantation of bloodcontacting
biomaterials is inflammation, which thereby-sets in motion a cascade of
adverse host responses. If devices for therapy and drug delivery could ...
Characterization Of A Hyperspectral Imager: A Diagnostic Tool For Monitoring Retinal Diseases
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
We developed a novel hyperspectral slit lamp ophthalmoscope for visualizing vascular changes for clinical monitoring of retinal diseases, for example, diabetic retinopathy. The device consists of a visible charge couple ...
Study Of Normobaric Hyperoxia Effects During Focal Hypoxia-ischemic Injury In Mice Using Optical Spectroscopy Measurements
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Optical spectroscopy has seen tremendous growth and development in recent years
and has been extensively used to characterize the optical properties of biological tissues. The
purpose of this study is to investigate the ...
Cytotoxicity Evaluation Of Temperature Sensitive Poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) Nanoparticles For Drug Delivery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
The objective of this research project was to develop temperature sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) nanoparticles for drug delivery applications. These nanoparticles were formulated by a radical polymerization ...
Targeted Drug Delivery To Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells Using Biodegradable Nanoparticles
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Restenosis is a common problem that can occur in angioplasty patients. In order to reduce the restentosis rate, various treatments such as glucocorticoids and drug eluting stents have been used for angioplasty patients. ...
