There is a maternal morbidity crisis in the U.S. We need to do better. As a seasoned Labor and Delivery Nurse for 20 years I identified a way to positively impact this sobering statistic.
This project describes the development of a novel cancer immunotherapy vaccine designed to cure tumoral cancers in dogs. This vaccine is unique since the dog must have cancer for it to work. The vaccine employs a combination of an agonist anti-OX40 monoclonal antibody and a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN), delivered intratumorally.
Each year, over 36 million falls are reported among U.S. adults aged 65 and older, leading to more than 32,000 deaths and over $50 billion in medical costs (CDC, 2023). A leading intrinsic cause is age-related hyperkyphosis, an excessive forward curvature of the thoracic spine, seen in up to 40% of older adults (Kado et al., 2004).
Blood group detection is an essential process in medical diagnostics, enabling safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy management. Traditional blood group testing methods involve drawing blood and perform laboratory-based serological tests, such as agglutination assays, to identify the presence of antigens on red blood cells. While these methods are reliable, they can be invasive, time-consuming,
This is the interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary approach to solving a much larger problem, a paradox of scientific theory and observation. The paradox is classical electromagnetics and thermodynamics versus quantum theory (mechanics). Is radio frequency to microwave radiation acting on diazoluminomelanin reactions as time-varying fields, through secondary heating, or as quanta being specifically absorbed?
This project presents an anatomically accurate mannequin designed to enhance the practice of cardiac auscultation in medical education. The mannequin allows students to identify and differentiate heart sounds through a realistic and interactive experience, addressing the limited accessibility and high costs of commercial simulators.
Cardiac auscultation is a fundamental clinical skill,
Sleep Apnea System (https://www.sleepapneasystem.com/en) is a patented, non-invasive therapeutic device designed to treat both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypopnea through a dual oral appliance system. It targets the primary anatomical mechanisms of upper airway collapse during sleep without the use of masks, external devices, or positive airway pressure.
SmartBath is a portable and modular medical device designed to improve the quality of life for bedridden individuals by enabling safe and ergonomic bed baths at home or in institutional care. It integrates real-time biomedical monitoring (ECG, temperature, heart rate) and an innovative hygiene tracking system for home and hospital environments. Through its digital platform,
I am writing to express my deep concern and sadness over the recent wildfires that have severely affected Los Angeles. The devastation caused by these fires is truly heart-wrenching, and my thoughts are with all those impacted.
In light of this ongoing crisis,
