“Code blue” is the signal used in hospitals to call for an immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following a cardiac or respiratory arrest. Reviewing the performance of the “code blue team” is a cornerstone for improving outcomes. The current standard of using handwritten records on a paper “code sheet” does not allow measurement of key quality indicators and is subject to huma ...

The lack of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) appropriate for youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities (DD) and related cognitive impairments including Down syndrome (DS) poses a significant problem for healthcare research and practice. Parents and other professionals do not identify the same needs as youth, and failure to engage youth with DD in healthcare evaluation compromises healthc ...

Project Summary Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly occurring forms of cancer, accounting for 21% of all cancer in men. The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) aims to standardize reporting of prostate cancer using multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). However, the in-depth analysis, as demanded by PI-RADS, remains challenging due to the complexity and heter ...

PROJECT SUMMARY This project proposes to continue the development of AutoRegisterTMan integrated software based system for enhancing the accuracy of tumor change detectionThe intent of the system is to automate the alignment of a patient s brain scan with that of a prior scan such that subsequent offline tumor measurements do not have error introduced solely by differing slice orientationsWhile si ...

ABSTRACT Dental implants are a central part of modern dental practice with the overall market for replacement and reconstruction of teeth expected to reach over $billion in the next several yearsIt is estimated that overmillion people in the United States are missing all of the teeth in one or both of their jaws leading to lower quality of lifeMost of these implants will be successful for long ter ...

This proposal aims to complete preclinical validation and commercialize a novel vaginal packing product based upon a biocompatible polymer hydrogel strategy. The hydrogel will form in situ after being injected into a bag placed within the vaginal cavity during pelvic brachytherapy. The hydrogel packing can then be removed readily after the brachytherapy treatment. This Phase II proposal focuses on ...

DESCRIPTION provided by applicant There are currently no drugs or other therapeutic interventions that can reverse or halt the progression of Alzheimerandapos s disease AD Age is by far the greatest risk factor for AD and it is known from studies in both mice and humans that neuroinflammation is increased with old age and to an even greater extent in AD Therefore a drug that could reduce ...
