CSE PROPOSES TO APPLY ITS DEMONSTRATED, PATENDED PROTOTYPE PRESSURE-SENSOR TECHNOLOGY TO HBRID 3 FACE AND OTHER ATD AREAS, ALLOWING ACCURATE RECORDING TRIAXIAL ANGULAR ACCELER ATIONS AS WELL AS AREA-PRESSURE-TIME HISTORIES ON HEAD, FACENECK, THORAX, ABDOMEN, KNEE, AND ANY OTHER ATD REGION. PRESSURE SENSORS WILL CONSIST OF SEGMENTED STRIPS, VESTS, ORGLUED-ON PATCHES. DATA WILL BE PROCESSED BY MDAS ...

ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR DETECTING PESTICIDES, ANTIBOIOTICS, AND METABOLIC PRODUCTS IN MEAT PRODUCTS ARE TEDIOUS AND TIME-CONSUMING. THIS STUDY WILL EVALUATE SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION AND CHROMATOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYSIS OF THESE COMPOUNDS WHICH MAY BE POLAR, THERMALLY UNSTABLE, OR OTHERWISE INTRACTABLE TO OTHER METHODS. IN PHASE I, WE WILL DEMONSTRATE ANALYSIS OF RESIDUES BY SFC; DEMONS ...

THIS PROJECT WOULD DEVELOP AN INTERFACE BOARD FOR THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER AND COMPATIBLES WHICH WOULD ALLOW SOFTWAREDEVELOPERS TO PRODUCE INEXPENSIVE MULTISENSORY COURSEWARE. THE STUDENTS USING THE COURSEWARE WOULD GET HUMAN VOICE VER BAL INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO OPERATE THE COMPUTER AN BE TAUGHT THE SUBJECT MATTER THROUGH VERBAL. VISUAL AND TACTILE INTER ACTION WITH THE COMPUTER. TO KEEP THE METHO ...

A PILOT SERIES OF THREE COMPUTER-INTERACTIVE VIDEODISK (CIVD) MODULES WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR TEACHING TOPICS IN TRANSFUSION MEDICINE (TM). THE CONTENT OF THE CIVD MODULES IS DETERMINED FROM THE NHLBI NATIONAL TM CURRICULUM AND INCORPORATES BOTH THE ETHICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES INVOLVED IN THE PRACTICE OF TM. THE AUDIOVISUAL ELEMENT OF THE CIVD PACKAGES WILL BE SUPPLEMENTED BY APPROPRIATE WRITTEN ...

RETROVENOUS DIASTOLIC MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION (RVDP) WITH OXYGENATED BLOOD VIA THE CORONARY SINUS AND CORONARY VEINS HAS BEEN SHOWN EXPERIMENTALLY TO PROVIDE 45% OF THE NORMAL CORONARY BLOOD FLOW. RVDP THERAPY COULD SIGNIFICANTLY ALTER THE MORBIDITY OF PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND ACUTE MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA. CURRENT EXPERIMENTAL RVDP CATHETERS REQUIRE A SECOND ARTERIAL SOURCE OF OXYGENATE ...

MULTIMONITORS FOR ECG, TEMPERATURE, HEART SOUNDS, AND BREATH SOUNDS WILL BE FABRICATED ON ENDOTRACHEAL TUBES AND BENCH TESTED. THE CAPABILITY OF MONITORING MULTIPLE PHYSIOLOGIC PARAMETERS FROM A SINGLE ANATOMIC SITE (THE TRACHEA) IS COST EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF CURRENT PRACTICE AND WILL PROVIDE BETTER PATIENT CARE. THE MULTIMONITOR ENDOTRACHEAL TUBES WILL BE TESTED IN SHEEP AND DOGS AND THE PHYSIOLO ...

THIS STUDY IS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AND EVALUATE A METHOD OF REPLACING A HOLLOW VISCUS WITH A PROSTHESIS THAT ALLOWS PRIMARY MUCOSAL HEALING AND INCORPORATION OF THE PROSTHETIC INTO THE HEALING PROCESS. HEALING OF A FULL THICKNESS ISOLATED BOWEL SEGMENT TO 2 TYPES OF A HOLLOW VISCUS PROSTHESIS WILL BE EVALUATED IN DOGS. BOTH TYPES OF PROSTHESIS WILL CONSIST OF AN OUTER RIGID MESH AND A BIO- DEGRADAB ...
