Engineering an Ex-Vivo System to Study Transport Phenomena in the Human Intervertebral Disc

Creator:

Shalash, Ward

Abstract:

Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, entailing a significant socioeconomic impact. A primary source of back pain can be attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration allowing nerve ingrowth, facet joint arthritis, disc bulging, and osteophyte formations that press on nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord. While...

The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

Creator:

Kadhim, Kyra L.

Abstract:

The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

Development of Rapid Diagnostic Tools for Personal Health Monitors in the Context of Therapy Monitoring

Creator:

Wentland, Lael T.

Abstract:

Personal health monitoring tools, a subset of point-of care-diagnostics, enable more frequent testing of chronic health conditions outside of a clinic setting and can inform personalized therapy or support telehealth diagnostic capabilities. While there is evidence that regular monitoring of chronic conditions can lead to better health outcomes and lower...
