Gold nanoparticle mediated membrane permeabilization of phytochemical into breast cancer cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Photoacoustic evaluation of surfaces via pulsed evanescent field interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
In recent years, major research funding and commercial development has been going toward the production and characterization of increasingly useful nanomaterials. These materials such as quantum dots, nanoparticles, and ...
Nanoparticle mediated ablation of breast cancer cells using a nanosecond pulsed electric field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
In the past, both nanomaterials and various heating modalities have been researched as means for treating cancers. However, many of the current methodologies have the flaws of inconsistent tumor ablation and significant ...
Photonic ablation via quantum tunneling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Contemporary laser delivery techniques utilized in clinical dermatology allow for a dangerous amount of high-intensity laser light to reflect off a multitude of surfaces, including the patient's skin. Seeing as this stray ...
Photoacoustic detection and spectral analysis of hemozoin in human leukocytes as an early indicator of malaria infection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Malaria is a blood borne infection affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Usually, malaria is diagnosed only after a patient presents symptoms, including high fever, nausea, and, in advanced cases, coma and ...
Detection of circulating breast cancer cells using photoacoustic flow cytometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 200,000 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed this year. Moreover, about 40,000 women died from breast cancer last year alone. As breast cancer progresses ...
Photoacoustic detection of circulating tumor cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Photoacoustics is one of the new branches in biomedical diagnostics that holds lot of new promises and advancements. It is a unique field that deals with the conversion of photons into ultrasound waves. It is only in the ...
