Mortality and morbidity rates caused by acute liver failure (ALF), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and chronic liver disease continue to rise because of drug induced failure or viral hepatitis, currently with 2,000 ...

Realistic virtual lesion models are valuable in medical imaging applications including phantom design and observer studies. Radiologic diagnostic information rarely include lesion texture due to the fact that texture ...

HIV infections remain a major public health issue with no current cure: in 2015, the disease led to the deaths of 1.1 million people [1]. A viable preventative is Griffithsin (GRFT), a lectin that binds and neutralizes the ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease affecting articular cartilage, leading to loss of its structure and function. Early stage OA is characterized by changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM), including a reduction ...

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) studies of blood flow in cerebrovascular aneurysms have potential to improve patient treatment planning by enabling clinicians and engineers to model patient-specific geometries and compute ...

Apically-acquired 3D echocardiographs (echoes) are becoming a standard data component in the clinical evaluation of left ventricular (LV) function. Ejection fraction (EF) is one of the key quantitative biomarkers derived ...

Road accidents are the leading cause of death within the 15-29 years age range worldwide and the risk of death for motorcyclists is 20 times that of car occupants. As such, 31% of over 10,250 annual road traffic deaths in ...

Uganda is increasingly dependent upon imported biomedical pieces of equipment to support patient care and health related research. Most of this equipment arrives without the accompanying documentation, maintenance and support. ...

Advances in tissue engineering have led to the development of 3D biomimetic models of human skeletal muscle (myobundles), which have a wide range of applications in regenerative medicine, predictive drug testing and toxicology ...

Many hematologic diseases may have interactions with proteins and endothelium within small microvascular environments that are currently hard to understand. These effects are hard to produce in vitro, and relevant studies ...
