Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Long QT syndrome (LQTS) occurs in 1 out of 2,500 infants, accounts for 10-15% of deaths due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in infants, children, and young adults.Electrocardiograms (ECGs) can detect LQTS at… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major cause of death, responsible for greater than 300,000 adult deaths per year in the United States alone. Cardiac arrest and SCD are caused by ventricular arrhythmias, in particular ventricular fibrillation, which leads to the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drug development for acute lung injury (ALI) has been marred by unfulfilled expectations. Perhaps best illustrating this unsatisfactory situation is the history of therapeutic strategies directed at inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS). While decades of… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI) is a common cause of morbidity and sometimes mortality in critically ill patients with respiratory failure. The types of VILI include barotraumas, volutrauma, atelectrauma, and biotrauma. Thus ventilator setting is a… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Effective communication between patients and healthcare professionals is important for positive clinical outcomes. However, patients with special communication handicaps [e.g., limited English proficiency, hearing impairment, aphasia, intubation for mechanical… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abnormal urethral sphincter contractions can prevent bladder emptying and cause significant morbidity and reduction in quality of life after neurological disease or injury. Existing treatment options are of limited effectiveness, destructive, or possess systemic… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Epilepsy is a set of disorders that result from neuronal hyperexcitability and hypersynchronous neuronal firing. Epilepsy remains a major widespread neurological concern. Current medications do not meet the health needsof 30% of epilepsy patients, and… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ultimate goal of this project is to market a electromechanical and software system for Blind and Low Vision (B/LV) individuals that will enable creation, communication and reproduction of freehand drawings. In school, at home and in the workplace, virtually… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The clinical impact of the 5 million annual surveillance colonoscopies (follow up of previous neoplasia) is remarkably low (gt90% without significant neoplasia). Juxtaposed with this is the alarmingly frequent occurrence of colorectal cancers (CRCs) in… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2011, it is estimated that there will be 69,250 new bladder cancer cases in the United States, resulting in 14,990 deaths. Most cases (70-80%) present with nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) [1, 2]. Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), which… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this STTR project is to develop a pre-formed, naturally-based hydrogel postoperative adhesion barrier with improved handling characteristics, laparoscopic deliverability, and consistent efficacy. Our technology is based on a novel, patented process… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There has been a huge increase in demand for comprehensive quantitative analysis of neurovascular imaging data produced in the clinical setting for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, stroke anddementia. Our objective in this project is… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Human prion diseases are infectious and invariably fatal forms of neurodegenerative diseases, including sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), the most common form, and variant CJD (vCJD) which is associated to consumption of cattle meat infected by bovine… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Up to 30% of the US population are now affected by nasal allergy, resulting in a total (direct and indirect) cost of approximately 14.6 billion per year.

In spite of intensive investigations, clinical therapies for treating acute stroke patients remain limited and unsatisfactory. There are consistent animal and human data that mild to moderate… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Neurologic disorders frequently affect everyday functioning. However, clinicians and researchers have had limited success in predicting who will, or will not, succeed at real-world tasks, since most assessments rely ontesting from in a controlled environment… more
There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
