Applications of Energetic Materials and Copper Oxide Nanorods for Decontamination [abstract]
(2010-03)
We demonstrate the potential of nanoenergetic coatings and CuO nanorods to decontaminate surfaces infected with bacteria. The methods of decontamination include (i) fast combustion of an energetic paint applied on contaminated ...
Porcine induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSC) for expanding the use of swine in biomedical research
(2010-03)
for exploiting the pig as a model in human pre-clinical applications. Supported by Missouri Life Sciences Board Grant 00022147 and NIH grant HD21896...
Translational Approach to Examine the Importance of Aerobic Fitness on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [abstract]
(2010)
) with significantly lower aerobic fitness (Science, 307:418-20, 2005). These rats display contrasting phenotypes without the influence of exercise training, making them an excellent model to mechanistically assess the role of aerobic fitness on NAFLD. Utilizing...
Extension of previous fusions to the Sacro-Pelvis vs. Primary spino-pelvic fusions in the setting of adult deformity: A Comparison of health related quality of life measures and complications [abstract]
(2010)
Summary: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of revision extension of previous long thoracolumbar fusion to the sacro-pelvis compared to primary lumbosacral fusion indicates that although the two patient populations are ...
Investigation and Optimization of Silorane-Based Polymer System [abstract]
(2010-03)
This research is a collaboration between Department of Oral Biology in the School of Dentistry at UMKC, Department of Chemistry in The College of Arts and Sciences at UMKC, Department of Chemistry at Missouri Science and Technology, and Mo...
Synaptic dysfunction in migraine: novel approaches for drug development [abstract]
(2010)
Migraine is a severe paroxysmal neurovascular disorder, affecting up to 16% of the Western population. Current migraine drugs are largely targeted towards the pain associated with the migraine headache, and their efficacy ...
INFORMER and Potassium Values: A system to enhance detection, notification, and action upon a threat to patient safety in the emergency department [abstract]
(2010)
Background: Quick remediation should occur after critically abnormal potassium levels are detected by the medical laboratory in blood from emergency department (ED) patients. Critical potassium levels can be elevated ...
A Collaborative Platform for Sharing EHRs of Cancer Patients [abstract]
(2010)
Today the nation faces one of the toughest challenges in health care due to high operating costs. By 2017, it is projected that the nation would spend $4.3 trillion for health care. One way to lower health care costs and ...
A Single Antibody based ELISA for the N-terminal sequence of BAG-75, a New Biomarker for Bone Formation [abstract]
(2010)
Bone acidic glycoprotein-75 (BAG-75) is a secreted product of osteoblastic cells localized predominantly to areas of new bone formation. We have identified the N-terminal sequence of BAG-75 as LPVARYQNTEEEE and shown that ...
Classification of Body Motions Based on Posturographic Data [abstract]
(2010)
Introduction: The human body, while standing, can be modeled as an unstable feedback system. This produces a continuous sway pattern, which manifests itself as varying ground reactions that are measured with force plates ...
