To date, no complete cure for cancer exists, despite enormous sources of funding. I hereby propose that an alternative conceptual approach on how to understand cancer may help to design new strategies that may be more effective and successful in its treatment.
Cells of the body are under the continual forces of compression, tension and shear (collectively, strain.) These mechanical forces play important roles in the regulation of various biological processes such as gene expression, adhesion, migration, and apoptosis. These forces, and the cellular responses,
‘Assist +’ is an Augmentative & Alternative communication (AAC) mobile application designed exclusively for people suffering with Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Speech & Hearing disorders.
Communication is a medium to express feelings, emotions & exchange information and ideas. Generally,
A system for replicating high resolution surfaces, in this case a prosthetic surface. Mirroring and replicating a lost limb with personal detail including fingerprints and as fine as blood vessel and nerve fiber matrix interfaces. Patented methods for reproducing a 3D object surface are the base of the system.
This device consists of a programmable oxygen regulator with a feedback system tied to a blood saturation monitor. The system allows medical personnel to easily input the desired minimum blood saturation level that is best for the patient.
Overall the C-Sight visual prosthesis is based on optic nerve stimulation with a penetrating electrode array. The goal of the project is to produce a feasible and realiable, low-cost solution to those with visual impairment.
Indwelling urinary catheters are associated with urinary tract infections, discomfort, and pain--especially for males. Note: "Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are the most frequent health-care associated infections in the United States." If the catheter is not secured in a straight line,
For decades dental implants and abutments have been made of Titanium as it is the ultimate material for use in the human body. Problem was the Ti abutments would create a dark area through the tissue between the restoration and the implant in the bone.
The advances in wireless communication technologies and mobile devices have provided reliable and secure platforms and environments for people to have better and ubiquitous interpersonal communications.In spite of the improvement of communication link and despite all progress in advanced communication technologies,
My entry is fairly simple since it just combines two existing technologies: voice recognition software has been in development for 10 years, and Google is about to launch augmented reality glasses, displaying text or any picture over the normal vision.
