Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) of a substrate and parahydrogen at a catalytic center promises to overcome the inherent insensitivity of magnetic resonance. In order to apply the new approach to biomedical applications, there is a need to develop experimental equipment, in situ quantification methods, and a biocompatible solvent. We present results detailing a low-field SABR...

At a time of historically low National Institutes of Health funding rates and many problems with the conduct of research (unfunded mandates, disgruntled reviewers, and rampant paranoia), there is a concern that biomedical research as a profession is waning in the United States (see "Rescuing US biomedical research from its systemic flaws" by Alberts and colleagues in the Proceedings of the Nati...

The modem society is an constant search towards the end of increasing the quality and better the efficiency of the sanitary systems and although many strategies and experiences have been applied, the optimal model has no yet been contrary. The biomedical technologies include the devices, equip, systems, programs, furnish, medicines, biotecnologics commodities, as soon as the medical procedures ...

Horseshoe crabs have been a model for many biomedical science studies. Medicinal value of horseshoe crabs comes from its blue blood, eye and exoskeleton (chitin). Ability of blood to clot in the presence of bacteria, rendering the bacteria harmless has created its biomedical importance. Blood cells (amebocytes) carry Factor C, which binds lipopolysaccharide (LPS), undergoes a structural reorgan...

THE EFFECT OF VIBROTACTILE FEEDBACK ON REMOTE MANUAL TASK PERFORMANCE By Matthew Standard, BS Biomedical Engineering A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2017. Major Director: Dr. Dianne T.V. Pawluk, Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering Vibrota...

Hands-on experiences in biomechanics and biomaterials courses are an important part of biomedical engineering education. Curricula those often include laboratory modules on material testing characterization. Unfortunately, large expensive mechanical equipment may not be available to all students, thus limiting students’ access actual hands-on experience. Here, we introduce open, accessible, aff...

nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. the most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. however monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...

Supercomputers today are applied in ways that go beyond academic research and into diverse fields such as manufacturing and climate/meteorological predictions. Meanwhile, the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in medicine goes only as far as the latest medical equipment such as medical imaging diagnostic systems, or administrative support such as electronic medical record sy...

Non-thermal atmospheric pressure ('cold') plasmas have received increased attention in recent years due to their significant biomedical potential. The reactions of cold plasma with the surrounding atmosphere yield a variety of reactive species, which can define its effectiveness. While efficient development of cold plasma therapy requires kinetic models, model benchmarking needs empirical data....

Carbon-based chemical substances persistence can contribute to adverse health impacts on human lives. It is essential to overcome for treatment purposes. The semiconducting metal oxide is Zinc Oxide (ZnO), which has excellent biocompatibility, good chemical stability, selectivity, sensitivity, non-toxicity, and fast electron transfer characteristics. The ZnO nanoparticles are more efficient com...
