Optimization of Hydrogel-based Cellular Encapsulation for Diabetes Treatment
(2018-05-10)Cell encapsulation is an efficient and cost-effective treatment for a variety of endocrine and hormonal disorders. The use of cells to deliver therapeutics is an especially desirable means drug delivery may be achieved, ... -
Modeling Countercurrent Arteriovenous Heat Exchange and Blood Flow in a Finger Exposed to Cold
(2018-05-09)It is widely accepted among the scientific community that countercurrent heat exchange between blood vessels developed as an advantageous evolutionary trait for preserving body heat in humans and other animals; however, ... -
Shear Stess-Induced Nanoparticle Drug Delivery in the Right Coronary Artery
(2018-05-10)Shear stress-sensitive nanoparticles are a promising new field for drug delivery. This novel method may allow the targeted release of drugs such as statins or vasodilators to areas of high shear in the bloodstream, as ... -
Computational Study of Hydrogel Ring Device for Ocular Drug Delivery
(2018-05-10)Researchers have developed many different kinds of ocular drug delivery devices. However, most address anterior eye disorders—very few are designed specifically for the treatment of posterior eye diseases. A recently-developed ... -
Investigation of Pulp Pressure Dynamics by Modeling the Topical Application of 50% Lidocaine HCl in the Human Premolar
(2018-05-10)The purpose of this research is to perform a time study on local anesthetics in dental surgery to provide insight on the inner workings pulp pressure dynamics. The dynamics of the pulp pressure when the dentin surface is ... -
Computational Modelling of Water Transport in Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing, DuoDERMⓇ CGF, and Design Recommendations
(2018-05-10)Hydrocolloids, and further hydrogels, have arisen as attractive next-generation wound dressings because of their modularity and ability to retain moisture. Hydrocolloids, like DuoDERM Ⓡ CGF, are intended for partial and ... -
Life Under the Ice: The Effect of Ice Development on Photosynthetic Submerged Plants
(2018-05-10)Many submerged plants rely on photosynthesis as a means to obtain sugars and oxygen. Plants that inhabit deeper regions have limited exposure to sunlight, as light irradiance decreases exponentially with increasing distance ... -
Cool-sculpting: Optimizing Total Fat Loss During Cryolipolysis
(2018-05-19)Cryolipolysis has become a more prevalent, non-invasive fat loss procedure. Multiple studies have been performed to assess the effi ciency of cryolipolysis techniques. This research includes optimization of cooling temperature ...
