Microvascular anastomosis is common and necessary during reconstructive and free tissue transfer surgeries. Traditional hand suturing techniques are time consuming, subject to human error, and require complex instruments. Prior attempts including staples, ring-pin devices, cuffing devices, and clips were either more cumbersome, were unable to maintain a tight seal, or did not work for both arteries...
Microfluidic devices for rapid and highly sensitive detection of living organisms were developed for two applications. First, a zebrafish embryo genotyping system was developed and shown to be able to genotype embryos in the first 48 hours of the embryos life without damaging the embryos in any apparent way. Second, a highly sensitive bacteria detection platform has been developed for the rapid detection...
A sensor using platinum functionalized titania nanotubes for the detection of Trichloroethylene (TCE) in water samples has been developed. The titania nanotubes were synthesized using an electrochemical anodization technique and platinum was photocatalytically deposited on the nanotubes. The sensor exhibits a good response to TCE concentrations in the range of 10 to 1000 ppm.
Contemporary bridging techniques for repairing nerve gaps caused by trauma require autologous nerve grafts, which are difficult to harvest and handle and result in significant donor site deficit. Several nerve conduits with axon growth-enhancing potential have been proposed, developed and tested over the past fifteen years. In this work, prototypes of a nerve conduit designed to bridge large nerve...
