Simultaneous Multislice Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2016)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a valuable tool for mapping brain activity in many fields. Since functional activity is determined by temporal signal changes, undesired fluctuations from physiological motion ...
Injectable microparticle-gel system for prolonged and localized lidocaine release. I. In vitro characterization
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09-01)
Current treatment protocol for postoperative pain is to infuse anesthetic solution around nerves or into the epidural space. This clinical practice is beset by the short duration of the anesthetic effect unless the infusion ...
Microfluidic Reduction of Osmotic Stress in Oocyte and Zygote Vitrification.
(2014)
Microfluidic cryoprotectant exchange enables vitrification of murine zygotes with superior morphology as indicated by a smoother cell surface and higher developmental competence compared to conventional methods. Bovine ...
Representation of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials Using Discrete Wavelet Transform
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-04)
Objective. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) have been shown to be a useful tool in monitoring of the central nervous system (CNS) during anaesthesia. SEP analysis is usually performed by an experienced human operator. ...
Synthetic nano-fibrillar extracellular matrices with predesigned macroporous architectures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-11)
Scaffolding plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering. To mimic the architecture of a natural extracellular matrix component—collagen, nona-fibrous matrices have been created with synthetic biodegradable polymers in our ...
Engineering vascular networks in porous polymer matrices
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-06-15)
Enhanced vascularization is critical to the treatment of ischemic tissues and the engineering of new tissues and organs. We have investigated whether sustained and localized delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor ...
Engineering new bone tissue in vitro on highly porous poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02)
Engineering new bone tissue with cells and a synthetic extracellular matrix (scaffolding) represents a new approach for the regeneration of mineralized tissues compared with the transplantation of bone (autografts or ...
Nano-fibrous scaffolding architecture selectively enhances protein adsorption contributing to cell attachment
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-11-01)
Tissue engineering aims at resolving problems such as donor shortage and immune rejection faced by transplantation. Scaffolds (artificial extracellular matrices) have critical roles in tissue engineering. Recently, we ...
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis in an Animal Model: Role of Extrinsic and Overuse Factors
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-09)
The rat shoulder animal model has been used previously to study the role of intrinsic injury (modeled as an acute insult to the tendon), extrinsic injury (modeled as external subacromial impingement), and overuse factors ...
Characterization of Bioeffects on Endothelial Cells Under Acoustic Droplet Vaporization.
(2014)
An ultrasound-mediated cancer treatment called gas embolotherapy has the potential for providing selective occlusion of blood vessels for therapy. Vessel occlusion is achieved by locally vaporizing micron-sized droplets ...
