Project Summary Sanfilippo disease (mucopolysaccharidosis type III; MPS III) is a devastating neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder of childhood whose pathologic features are neurologic: slowing of development, severe behavioral problems, progressive cognitive decline, dementia, and decline in motor skills leading to immobility, unresponsiveness, and death. We have focused on MPS IIID cause ...

Project Abstract/Summary The objective of this SBIR/STTR Fast Track submission is to provide a software solution to reduce the effects of head motion during brain MRIs of infants. Because structural MRI scanning produces high-resolution images and does not expose patients to radiation, it has become an immensely valuable diagnostic tool, particularly for imaging the brain in infant samples. Approx ...

Project Abstract/Summary The goal of this STTR application is to deliver a brain MRI technology that feeds back head motion measurements derived from our Framewise Integrated Real-Time MRI Monitoring (FIRMM) to MRI scan participants in order to reduce head motion via behavioral training. Because MRI scanning produces high- resolution images and does not expose patients to radiation, it has become ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of the proposed project is to develop an advanced, web-based knowledge management system for the creation and distribution of multilingual, patient-oriented documents. The system provides a vast library of pre-translated documents and document templates for medical, educational, and administrative materials used in patient-care. System users will be abl ...

Project Abstract/Summary The goal of this SBIR/STTR application is to deliver a technology that accurately and non-invasively measures a patient’s head motion during a structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (Framewise Integrated Real-Time MRI Monitoring -structural [FIRMM-s]). Because structural MRI scanning produces high-resolution images and does not expose patients to radiation, it ...

As a consequence of limited domestic agency over the supply-chain for microelectronics, adversaries have many opportunities for adversaries to infect mission critical systems with malicious software and hardware tampers. Therefore, to protect our pilots and their mission, we must develop new security solutions capable of deterring, detecting, and defending against adversarial actions against our t ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover within two weeks, but RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children under one year of age, and leads to hospitalization of ~177,000 adults aged 65 and older of which ~14,000 die annually. Despite many attempts, a vaccin ...
