2 Couldwell, William T.Porous polyethylene implant for cranioplasty and skull base reconstructionObject. Cranial reconstruction after skull base surgery is important for restoration of function and cosmesis. The authors describe their experience with the Medpor porous polyethylene implant for cosmetic cranioplasty and reconstruction after skull base surgery. Methods. Medpor, a biocompatible i...2004
3 Olson, Randall J.Comparison of patient satisfaction after uncomplicated cataract surgery between the silicone AMO SI-30/40 and the acrylic Alcon MA30BA and MA60BA foldable intraocular lensesPURPOSE: To compare patient satisfaction with vision 12 months after implantation of a silicone or acrylic foldable intraocular lens (IOL). SETTING: John A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. METHODS: Selection criteria included patients who had uneventfu...Patient Satisfaction; Lenses, Intraocular; Silicone Elastomers; Biocompatible Materials2001-10
4 Harrison, Reid R.;Normann, Richard A.Preliminary study of thermal impact of a microelectrode array implanted in the brainOne requirement of a chronically implantable, wireless neural interface device is the integration of electronic circuitry with the microelectrode array. Since the electronic IC dissipates a certain amount of power, it will affect the temperature in the tissues surrounding the implant site. In this ...Microelectrode arrays; Neural recording; Utah Electrode Array; Thermal impact2006-08

6 Olson, Randall J.Update on a long-term, prospective study of capsulotomy and retinal detachment rates after cataract surgeryPURPOSE: To evaluate the retinal detachment risks and neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy rates associated with different cataract approaches and intraocular lens (IOL) styles in a long-term,prospective clinical study. SETTING: Clinical practice of 1 ophthalmologist, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. METH...Cataract Extraction; Laser Therapy; Retinal Detachment; Risk Factors2000-07
7 Couldwell, William T.Cranioplasty with the Medpor porous polyethylene Flexblock implantThe authors describe the use of a porous polyethylene Flexblock implant for cosmetic cranioplasty. The implant may be used to cover any small- or medium-sized (< 8 cm) cranial defect, offering similar cosmetic results to standard alloplast cranioplasty while decreasing operation time. The porous i...Cranioplasty; Medpor; Alloplast; Polyethylene; Skull defect1994
8 Couldwell, William T.Medpor implant in cranioorbitomaxillary reconstruction: institutional experience and a review of the literatureAutologous materials remain the gold standard for complex skull base and craniofacial reconstruction, but they carry additional morbidity associated with the second harvest procedure and with prolonged operation time. These autologous materials also resorb in a way that is not predictable, rendering...Medpor; Alloplastic material; Autogenous tissue; Craniofacial reconstruction; Skull base surgery; Methylmethacrylate; Silicone2008
9 Gale, Bruce K.New approaches to bridge nerve gaps: Development of a novel drug-delivering nerve conduitContemporary 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 ove...2012-01-01

11 Rieth, Loren WPlasma-assisted atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 and parylene C bi-layer encapsulation for chronic implantable electronicsEncapsulation of biomedical implants with complex three dimensional geometries is one of the greatest challenges achieving long-term functionality and stability. This report presents an encapsulation scheme that combines Al2O3 by atomic layer deposition with parylene C for implantable electronic sys...2012-01-01
12 Kestle, John R. W.Priorities for hydrocephalus research: report from a National Institutes of Health-sponsored workshopObject. Treatment for hydrocephalus has not advanced appreciably since the advent of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts more than 50 years ago. Many questions remain that clinical and basic research could address, which in turn could improve therapeutic options. To clarify the main issues facing hydr...Biomedical research2007
13 Khan, Faisal HabibMagnetic stimulation of mammalian peripheral nerves in vivo: An alternative to functional electrical stimulationFunctional electrical stimulation is the current gold standard for stimulating neuronal interfaces for functional neuromuscular and cortical applications, but it is not without its drawbacks. One such fault is the need to have direct electrical contact with the nerve tissue, and any side effect...2014-01-01
14 Horch, Kenneth W.Perspectives on new electrode technology for stimulating peripheral nerves with implantable motor prosthesesAbstract-The limits of present electrode technology are being reached in current motor prostheses for restoring functional movement in paralyzed people. Improved devices require electrodes and stimulation methods that will activate muscles selectively and independently with less implanted hardwa...Paralysis; Prostheses; Electrodes1995
15 Horch, Kenneth W.Microfabricated cylindrical multielectrodes for neural stimulationThe effects of spinal cord injuries are likely to be ameliorated with the help of functional electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, a technique that may benefit from a new style of electrode: the cylindrical multielectrode. This paper describes the specifications for, fabrication techniques for...Cylindrical multielectrode; Depth electrodes; Impedance testing; Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS); Microstimulation; Impedance testing; Neural prosthesis2006-02
