Investigation Of Information Processing And Cognitive Performance Capacities With Different Instrumentation Configurations
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The focus of this thesis is the investigation of two new performance capacity tests related to a concept known as "situational awareness": 1) Visual Motor Multitask Performance Capacity (VMMPC) and 2) Visual Auditory ...
Development Of An In-vitro Assay For Neurotrophin-induced Segregation Of Nociceptive And Proprioceptive Sensory Axons
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Peripheral nerves have the capacity for regeneration and if properly repaired, axon extensions can regenerate even across gaps caused by peripheral nerve loss. Complete functional recovery after gap injury repair remains ...
Characterization Of A Noninvasive, In Vivo, Microscopic Hyperspectral Imaging System For Microvascular Visualization.
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Instrumentation with clinical implications for imaging the human oculus was developed, based upon the hyperspectral imaging modality. The novel, non invasive, microscopic multi-modal hyperspectral imaging system, which ...
Functionalized Nanoparticles For The Selective Killing Of Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
The use of nanoparticles for cancer imaging and drug delivery has produced some success in improving the efficacy and safety of cancer chemotherapy. It is generally believed that the efficiency of nanoparticle-based cancer ...
Drug Loaded Polymeric Blends For Developing Vascular Stents
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
In-stent restenosis and neo-intimal hyperplasia are long-term limitations of metallic stents. Local delivery of medications to transluminal angioplasty sites to prevent restenosis is receiving worldwide attention. Development ...
Optical Coherence Tomography Of Oral Mucosa
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Oral cancer causes 120000* deaths annually around the world and 280000* new cases are diagnosed every year.
Technology has developed and the death rate of oral cancer has improved over the last few decades; hence to improve ...
Development Of A Multi-channel Handheld Probe Designed For Near Infrared Spectroscopy And An Exploration Into Its Clinical Applications
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and imaging has become popular in research fields for the past 2 decades. My research focuses on the development of a handheld, multi-channel, multi-separation probe for the low-cost, ...
Novel Techniques Of Fabricating Porous, Biodegradable Polymer Scaffolds For Sustained Drug Release
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Two types of porous scaffolds were made from biodegradable polymers and their drug release trends and rates were studied. In first method, the emulsion of PLLA in chloroform solution and PVA and acetaminophen in de-ionized ...
Development Of Targeting Nanoparticles Mimicking The Adhesive Properties Of Platelets
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The development of biodegradable nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles presents an improved avenue for intracellular targeted drug delivery. Biodegradable nanoparticles have demonstrated an ability to provide controllable, ...
Cytotoxic Evaluation And Factorial Analysis Of 3D Photopolymerizable Thermoresponsive Composite Nanoparticle Hydrogels For Controlled Drug Delivery In Restenosis And Wound Healing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-09-17)
