Heat transfer model to characterize the focal cooling necessary to suppress spontaneous epileptiform activity
(SPIE, 2005-04-14)Epilepsy is characterized by paroxysmal transient disturbances of the electrical activity of the brain. Symptoms are manifested as impairment of motor, sensory, or psychic function with or without loss of consciousness or ... -
High-frequency irreversible electroporation (H-FIRE) for non-thermal ablation without muscle contraction
(2011-11-21)Background Therapeutic irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an emerging technology for the non-thermal ablation of tumors. The technique involves delivering a series of unipolar electric pulses to permanently destabilize ... -
High-Frequency Irreversible Electroporation for Intracranial Meningioma: A Feasibility Study in a Spontaneous Canine Tumor Model
(Sage, 2018)High-frequency irreversible electroporation is a nonthermal method of tissue ablation that uses bursts of 0.5- to 2.0-microsecond bipolar electric pulses to permeabilize cell membranes and induce cell death. High-frequency ... -
Hybrid detector modules and dynamic thresholding for spectral CT
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 2018-01-09)A system and method that comprises an X-ray source configured to emit an X-ray beam; an object positioned to receive the X-ray beam; a detector configured to receive an attenuated beam of the X-rays through the object for ... -
Image Reconstruction For Bioluminescence Tomography From Partial Measurement
(Optical Society of America, 2007-09-01)The bioluminescence tomography is a novel molecular imaging technology for small animal studies. Known reconstruction methods require the completely measured data on the external surface, although only partially measured ... -
Improved Local and Systemic Anti-Tumor Efficacy for Irreversible Electroporation in Immunocompetent versus Immunodeficient Mice
(PLOS, 2013-05-24)Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a non-thermal focal ablation technique that uses a series of brief but intense electric pulses delivered into a targeted region of tissue, killing the cells by irrecoverably disrupting ... -
Improving the Accuracy of the Diffusion Model in Highly Absorbing Media
(Hindawi, 2007-08-29)The diffusion approximation of the Boltzmann transport equation is most commonly used for describing the photon propagation in turbid media. It produces satisfactory results in weakly absorbing and highly scattering media, ... -
In Cocaine Dependence, Neural Prediction Errors During Loss Avoidance Are Increased With Cocaine Deprivation and Predict Drug Use
(Elsevier, 2018-08-03)Background: In substance-dependent individuals, drug deprivation and drug use trigger divergent behavioral responses to environmental cues. These divergent responses are consonant with data showing that short- and long-term ... -
In Situ Bioprinting of Autologous Skin Cells Accelerates Wound Healing of Extensive Excisional Full-Thickness Wounds
(Springer Nature, 2019-02-21)The early treatment and rapid closure of acute or chronic wounds is essential for normal healing and prevention of hypertrophic scarring. The use of split thickness autografts is often limited by the availability of a ... -
In Situ Real-Time Chemiluminescence Imaging of Reactive Oxygen Species Formation from Cardiomyocytes
(Hindawi, 2009-02-25)We have applied the highly sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) imagingtechnique to investigate the in situ ROS formation in cultured monolayers of rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Photon emission was detected via an innovative imaging ... -
In vitro patient-derived 3D mesothelioma tumor organoids facilitate patient-centric therapeutic screening
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-13)Variability in patient response to anti-cancer drugs is currently addressed by relating genetic mutations to chemotherapy through precision medicine. However, practical benefits of precision medicine to therapy design are ... -
In Vitro Proliferation of Porcine Pancreatic Islet Cells for β-Cell Therapy Applications
(Hindawi, 2016-12-06)β-Cell replacement through transplantation is the only curative treatment to establish a long-term stable euglycemia in diabetic patients. Owing to the shortage of donor tissue, attempts are being made to develop alternative ... -
Independent effects of adding weight and inertia on balance during quiet standing
(2012-04-16)Background Human balance during quiet standing is influenced by adding mass to the body with a backpack, with symmetrically-applied loads to the trunk, or with obesity. Adding mass to the body increases both the weight ... -
Influence of Heating and Cyclic Tension on the Induction of Heat Shock Proteins and Bone-Related Proteins by MC3T3-E1 Cells
(Hindawi, 2014-06-11)Stress conditioning (e.g., thermal, shear, and tensile stress) of bone cells has been shown to enhance healing. However, prior studies have not investigated whether combined stress could synergistically promote bone ... -
Inverse Fourier Transform in the Gamma Coordinate System
(Hindawi, 2010-10-26)This paper provides auxiliary results for our general scheme of computed tomography. In 3D parallel-beam geometry, we first demonstrate that the inverse Fourier transform in different coordinate systems ... -
Investigating dielectric properties of different stages of syngeneic murine ovarian cancer cells
(American Institute of Physics, 2013-01-01)In this study, the electrical properties of four different stages of mouse ovarian surface epithelial (MOSE) cells were investigated using contactless dielectrophoresis (cDEP). This study expands the work from our previous ... -
