1 | Godfrey, Rose | A porcine model for the development and testing of preoperative skin preparations | Clinical preoperative skin preparations (PSPs) do not eradicate skin flora dwelling in the deepest dermal regions. Survivors constitute a persistent infection risk. In search of solutions, we created a porcine model intended for PSP developmental testing. This model employed microbiological techniqu... | 2022 | ||
2 | Isom, Anika | Amniotic fluid treatment of vocal fold injury in an in vivo rabbit model | Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables are a standard treatment for vocal fold injuries in both clinical and research settings. Results from these treatments are not permanent, however, and may vary in effectiveness. Because of this, there is a significant clinical interest in finding an alternative for H... | Vocal folds; rheology; wound healing of vocal folds; hyaluronic acid; amniotic fluid; regenerative medicine | 2022 | |
3 | Nielson, Clark | Gel-Cast fluorapatite scaffolding for bone repair | Calcium-phosphate bioceramics have long been attempted as replacement bone substitutes due to their resemblance to the mineral component of natural bone tissue, and because their dissolution byproducts can elicit new bone growth. Many studies have demonstrated that fluoridated hydroxyapatite, or flu... | 2021 | ||
4 | Wankier, Zakary S. | Use of computer tomography imaging to observe increased distal-end cortical bone around a percutaneous osseointegrated implant | Osseointegration (OI) is being used for the direct skeletal attachment of prosthetic limbs using an intramedullary stem that extends percutaneously from the subject's residual limb. For this technology to be successful, bone ingrowth and remodeling around the implant must occur. Physicians need an e... | 2022 | ||
5 | Kodele, Christian | Multivalent Human Serum Albumin - Rituximab Fab' Conjugates Induce Apoptosis in Lymphoma Cells | Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is an immune disease, mostly of B-cell origin (85%), as well as the ninth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Although treatments for NHLs greatly improved following the FDA approval of Rituximab (RTX), refractive malignancies still occur that are nonrespon... | 2018 | ||
6 | Schlegel, Isabelle B. | Peptide-fab conjugates to improve treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration | Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a chronic disease of the eye and leading cause of blindness in Americans over 50, is often treated with agents that inhibit Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Ranibizumab is an anti-VEGF antibody fragment (Fab) effective at treating over 90% of AMD pat... | 2021 | ||
7 | Frederiksen, Hunter | Pharmacokinetics of Locally Delivered Vancomycin as a Powder & in a Hydrogel | Orthopedic surgeons currently administer powder vancomycin directly over surgical sites in order to mitigate infections. Local antibiotic administration has been effective at reducing infections; however, there have been few preliminary studies investigating the pharmacokinetics of locally delivered... | 2018 |
