  • In Vitro Evaluation of Therapeutic Laser Treatment on Equine Tendon Fibroblasts

    Creator:
    Husby, Kirsty A.
    Abstract:
    Previous investigations have failed to show benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendon healing in horses, contrary to reports in other species. We hypothesized that delivery of LLLT at manufacturer-recommended energy fluence through equine cadaver skin to equine tendon-derived fibroblasts in vitro would increase cell proliferation, metabolic activity...

    Alshahrani, Sultan M.
    Abstract:
    Foot pathology is a real problem in captive elephants. Osteoarthritis is the major concern among musculoskeletal disorders and foot health problems for elephants in North America zoos with one-­‐half of Elephants in captivity showing foot health care problems in zoos. A higher ratio of captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) is...

  • Investigating Multimodal Therapies with Nanotechnology to Engineer Advanced Chemoradiation Platforms

    Creator:
    DuRoss, Allison N.
    Abstract:
    The potential for nanomedicine to reduce toxicity and improve therapeutic response to radiation is vast. Clinically, this potential has thus far only begun to be realized with the recent success of the radioenhancing nanoparticle, NBTXR3 by Nanobiotix. Radioenhancing nanoparticles, however, represent only a small class of nanomaterials that may be...

  • A Nanoparticle Mediated Gene Silencing Approach for the Treatment of Metastatic Ovarian Cancer

    Creator:
    Schumann, Canan B.
    Abstract:
    Ovarian cancer, “the silent killer,” is one of the deadliest gynecological diseases due to delayed diagnosis, leading to a heavily disseminated and aggressive metastatic cancer. Therapeutic options are limited at stages III-IV of ovarian cancer, in which debulking surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy remain the mainstays of intervention. However, these therapeutic...

  • Advancing Nanotechnology for Photoacoustic Imaging

    Creator:
    St Lorenz, Anna
    Abstract:
    Curbing overall disease burden with faster intervention requires early stage and accurate diagnostics. Ultrasound (US) provides a safe, nonionizing, inexpensive, and noninvasive imaging modality that has become commonplace in diagnostics. Paired with the relatively new technology of photoacoustic imaging (PAI), optical level resolution becomes feasible with the deeper signal penetration...
