3D nanomechanical evaluations of dermal structures in skin.
(2015-11-28)Skin is a multilayered multiscale composite material with a range of mechanical and biochemical functions. The mechanical properties of dermis are important to understand in order to improve and compare on-going in vitro ... -
3D Printed Microfluidic Device with Integrated Biosensors for Online Analysis of Subcutaneous Human Microdialysate.
(2015-06)This work presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a robust 3D printed microfluidic analysis system that integrates with FDA-approved clinical microdialysis probes for continuous monitoring of human tissue ... -
3 Cardiac diagnoses in survivors of cardiac arrest with culprit-free coronary angiograms.
(2014-06)Knowledge of cardiac arrest (CA) causes other than coronary artery disease is derived predominantly from post-mortem studies, identifying hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as the commonest diagnosis. Management of CA ... -
4Pipe4--A 454 data analysis pipeline for SNP detection in datasets with no reference sequence or strain information.
(BioMed Central, 2016-01)BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing datasets are becoming more frequent, and their use in population studies is becoming widespread. For non-model species, without a reference genome, it is possible from a panel of ... -
52 Genetic Loci Influencing Myocardial Mass.
(Elsevier, 2016-09-27)BACKGROUND: Myocardial mass is a key determinant of cardiac muscle function and hypertrophy. Myocardial depolarization leading to cardiac muscle contraction is reflected by the amplitude and duration of the QRS complex on ... -

7 Themes for Guiding Situated Ergonomic Assessments of Medical Devices: A case study of an inpatient glucometer
(Elsevier, 2014-06-20)There is relatively little guidance on the situated ergonomic assessment of medical devices, and few case studies that detail this type of evaluation. This paper reports results of a detailed case study that focuses on the ... -
A (semi-)parametric functional coefficient autoregressive conditional duration model
(http://ideas.repec.org/p/rio/texdis/535.html, 2014-10-14)In this paper, we propose a class of ACD-type models that accommodates overdispersion, intermittent dynamics, multiple regimes, and sign and size asymmetries in financial durations. In particular, our functional coefficient ... -
A 9-valent HPV vaccine against infection and intraepithelial neoplasia in women.
(2015-02-19)BACKGROUND: The investigational 9-valent viruslike particle vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) includes the HPV types in the quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine (6, 11, 16, and 18) and five additional oncogenic types ... -
A basosquamous cell carcinoma of the periorbital region arising from a chronic wound created by laser ablation of a basal cell carcinoma.
(2013-11)Basosquamous cell carcinomas (BSCs) are very rare and behave aggressively, with features of both basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The diagnosis of BSC includes a spectrum of histologic definitions, ranging ... -
A Bayesian approach to person perception
(2015-03)© 2015 Elsevier Inc.Here we propose a Bayesian approach to person perception, outlining the theoretical position and a methodological framework for testing the predictions experimentally. We use the term person perception ... -
A beginner's guide to atomic force microscopy probing for cell mechanics.
(2016-09)Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) is becoming a prevalent tool in cell biology and biomedical studies, especially those focusing on the mechanical properties of cells and tissues. The newest generation of bio-AFMs combine ease ... -
A blood pressure-associated variant of the SLC39A8 gene influences cellular cadmium accumulation and toxicity.
(2016-07-27)Genome-wide association studies have revealed a relationship between inter-individual variation in blood pressure and the single nucleotide polymorphism rs13107325 in the SLC39A8 gene. This gene encodes the ZIP8 protein ... -
A Case Study of Well-Known Trademarks in the Gulf Cooperation Council States: Challenges for Foreign Mark Holders
(2016-01-15)The article examines the gaps that exist in the Gulf Cooperation Council states' harmonisation of their Intellectual Property (IP) laws with those of the greater international community. It provides an analytical insight ... -
A Case Study: Dual-Process Theories of Higher Cognition-Commentary on Evans & Stanovich (2013).
(2013-05)Dual-process theories of higher order cognition (DPTs) have been enjoying much success, particularly since Kahneman's 2002 Nobel prize address and recent book Thinking, Fast and Slow (2009). Historically, DPTs have attempted ... -
A case-control study to assess the impact of mammographic density on breast cancer risk in women aged 40-49 at intermediate familial risk.
(2014-10-21)Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer, but its potential application in risk management is not clear, partly due to uncertainties about its interaction with other breast cancer risk factors. We ...
