Post-pandemic, some educators are trying to reengage students with technology – like videos, computer gaming or artificial intelligence, just to name a few. But integrating these approaches in the classroom can be an uphill...
Strabismus “squint eyes” is a common disorder presenting in about 2% of children born each year. While there are several causes to this presentation, we demonstrated presentation caused by Peripheral nerve neuropathies,...
New imaging technologies and 3D rendering software, in addition to being useful diagnostic tools, allow us to augment patient education and further medical student and physician knowledge. 3D imaging modalities such as CT and...
Kidney transplantation is a major surgical intervention and patients undergoing counseling for this procedure do not always fully understand the essentials of this procedure. We present an improved way to facilitate patient...
A smartphone conveying gameplay movement instructions via encasement in a glowing football was designed to increase fitness and reduce obesity. While smartphone geolocation apps have flourished, people's ability to interact...
3D visualization software is a useful tool in
patient education because it allows patients to
put an image to what a physician is describing
to them. With an emphasis on education of
young athletes on the potential...
Visualizing the spatial relationships of anatomical features, gross pathologies, and diagnostic findings is a fundamental part of the training of medical students and other learners in health-professions curricula. But to what...
Context: The purpose of this project was to design a 3-dimensional method for visualizing structures within the brainstem with special attention to those involved in Lateral Medullary (Wallenberg) Syndrome. Wallenberg syndrome...
3D Visualization is a growing field in medicine. It is used for diagnosis, intervention design, and patient education. Medical students and physicians have little difficulty picturing a heart in their mind. Most physicians and...
The goal of this project is to build a teaching tool geared towards patients, students, and clinicians to further educate themselves about the anatomical and biochemical implications of various syndromes involving depression...
Context 3-Dimensional (3D) imaging is utilized in a variety of ways in medicine, including ultra-sound facial scanning in utero, breast cancer detection, and mapping blood vessels. 3D imaging can also be used to educate both...
Multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most
prevalent immune-mediated neurological
disorders, is a chronic demyelinating disease
of the central nervous system that affects both
white and grey matter (Avasarala et....
3D visualization research is useful as a learning tool for medical students learning human anatomy and as a diagnostic tool for practicing physicians. Here we explore the use of this application of medical imaging in...
Background: Transposition of the Great Vessels (TGV) is a congenital heart defect (CHD) in which the great vessels are reversed – the aorta arises off of the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunks arises off the left...
6-MERCAPTOPURINE FOR SEVERE ATOPIC DERMATITIS IN A LACTOSE-ALLERGIC CHILD Pediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) is encountered routinely in the gen- eral dermatology clinic, and most children with AD have readily- manageable mild to...
Orientia tsutsugamushi, the etiologic agent of the life-threatening febrile disease scrub typhus, is an obligately intracellular small coccobacillary bacterium belonging to the family Rickettsiaceae and is transmitted by the...
More than 200 heterozygous mutations in the type 2 BMP receptor gene, BMPR2, have been identified in patients with Heritable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (HPAH). More severe clinical outcomes occur in patients with BMPR2...
We sought to evaluate a novel PPARδ inhibitor and explore whether this compound could synergize with known chemotherapeutic compounds to kill cancer cells in culture. Methods: A novel PPARδ inhibitor compound, Compound 9, was...
Unemployment is a substantial problem amongst veterans with mental illness. This pervasive vocational dysfunction results in poor financial, clinical, quality of life, and psychosocial outcomes. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy...
