With medical imaging data, (e.g. CT, MRI, ultrasound), it is possible to create a three-dimensional (3-D) anatomical model by using lofted surfaces to represent the anatomy. This method makes the model more compatible with the intended simulation and fabrication techniques. Utilizing additive manufacturing techniques, dissolvable molds were developed so that the resulting anatomical models could be cast from Sylgard 184 silicone. The custom housing for the model was developed to replicate the conditions in which the real-life version of the model would be exposed to, and create a viewing window in which this simulated model can be observed. A camera array system and LED based lighting solution has been used for the measurement of the models performance during in vitro testing. Use of MathWorks Computer System Vision Toolbox was employed to process the image data and calculate the displacement of the silicone models. A discourse on the method of creation of the model and the housing in which the model was tested will be provided. The data obtained from this simulated model will further understanding of the anatomy of biological structures and biomechanics while under the pathophysiological conditions that have resulted from the progression various diseases and surgical interventions.","PeriodicalId":196856,"journal":{"name":"2016 32nd Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122227827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to raised incidences of stroke, paralysis, or other diseases along with dramatic increment of life expectancy, the number of patients with movement disability has been increasing continuously. Repetitive and intensive voluntary movements in physical therapy are important factors that facilitate significant improvement for motor-impaired patients. The emergence of rehabilitation robotic devices has stimulated the development of physical therapy. However, most of current robotic devices for upper limb are poor in user-friendly interface and bulky as well as assisting only limited part(s) of arm. We proposed Smart Portable Rehabilitation Exoskeletal Device (SPRED), which is a portable, tele-operatable, and effective exoskeleton type of upper limb rehabilitation robotic device controlled by multimodal signals with smart interfaces for both patients and therapists. The SPRED system supports full range of joint movements and assists disabled arms more naturally through highly accurate, adaptable, and fast responses based on muscle strength, brain activity, and motion tracking technology. The compact size and wireless device allows patients to carry the device during their daily activities so that they can naturally lengthen the training duration and conclude more effective clinical results eventually. We believe that the research will contribute to development a new generation of exoskeleton type of rehabilitation robotic device for upper limb. As a first step towards the proposed system, this paper presents the design of SPRED and the mirroring motion based self-tuning concept is illustrated. Its simulation result demonstrates its potential in upper limb rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":196856,"journal":{"name":"2016 32nd Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130540080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing at least 787,000 people every year. Similarly, more than 200 million people worldwide are affected by Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which causes atherosclerosis in the lowerextremity arteries. Atherosclerosis of the periphery is a problem that is very underdiagnosed and undertreated by the medical community. Currently, it is known that vascular interventional procedures, in particular stents, fail to treat PAD due to stent fracture caused by bending, torsion and axial forces of periphery arteries. Furthermore, the impact of these forces on regenerating cells and newer interventional procedures such as drug coated balloons and other non-stent platforms remains unknown. For this reason, the aim of this work was to design a bench-top bioreactor system to mimic the dynamic environment of peripheral arteries. A system compromised of motors and a holding chamber unit was developed to house freshly harvested arteries and expose the vessel to twisting and axial forces within a culture incubator. The developed bioreactor system will thus be used to study the impact of arterial mechanical deformation on current and next generation interventional devices.","PeriodicalId":196856,"journal":{"name":"2016 32nd Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130980071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main functions of this barrier are maintenance of brain homeostasis, regulation of influx and efflux transport, and protection from harmful circulating endogenous and exogenous neurotoxins. These functions are determined by the BBB specialized multicellular structure. Every constituent cell type makes an indispensable contribution to the BBB integrity. Several reports indicated that the BBB is compromised in Alzheimer's disease (AD) which affects its integrity and functional activity. Furthermore, these changes in the BBB correlated well with dysfunction in the clearance of Aß across the BBB and formation of Aß plaques. Several hit compounds that were able to enhance the BBB integrity were identified from the high-throughput screening assay developed in our laboratory. Among these compounds etodolac, an NSAID drug, has shown to enhance the BBB model integrity measured by its ability to decrease the paracellular permeability markers Lucifer Yellow and inulin. Moreover, our data suggested that etodolac enhanced the active transport of amyloid-beta (Aß42) across the BBB model. In conclusion, the NSAID etodolac could be a promising drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In vivo studies are in progress to investigate etodolac effect in AD mouse model.","PeriodicalId":196856,"journal":{"name":"2016 32nd Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133663302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective evaluation requires at temperature studies for blood contacting medical devices for the following purposes: wear characteristics, thermal expansion, and temperature effects on sensors in the design. The task was to control the fluid within an ISO5198 hydraulic loop used to evaluate left ventricular assist devices at a given temperature between 95F and 105F. The design was to function within one degree Fahrenheit. This task was accomplished utilizing a microcontroller, the PowerSwitch Tail II, a DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor, and an immersion heater. To manage heat loss from the piping section of the loop foam piping insulation was installed to all non-testing sections. The group was able to successfully thermally regulate temperature in the loop for a range of flow rates (2-10 LPM). The team utilized a pulsing control architecture to keep overshoot within the system to a minimum. The system takes approximately 6 mins to come to temperature with approximately a one degree overshoot. The longest recorded success of controlling the loop within a plus or minus one degree accuracy is approximately 2 hours. A computational model of the system was made using the thermofluid blocks of the Simulink Simscape foundation library. Approximated heat loss is roughly 70 W for the entire circuit, which equates to one degree Fahrenheit drop for every five minutes without heat input. The result of this design is a cost effective means of producing reflective in vivo thermal conditions.","PeriodicalId":196856,"journal":{"name":"2016 32nd Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114326757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
