Automated evaluation of surgeon technical performance
Published Wednesday, November 15, 2017The technical skills of a surgical resident are typically evaluated by experienced mentors during training. However, this process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and may involve evaluator biases. In an effort to standardize such technical evaluations, UMB researchers developed an automated, sensor-free...

Balanced Reach Control Systems Model
Published Tuesday, May 2, 2017Bipedal standing balance is inherently unstable and must be actively controlled to prevent falling. This involves a complex interaction of the sensorimotor system and multi-segment musculoskeletal system. Fall risk increases with deterioration of sensorimotor and musculoskeletal elements responsible for balance due to age, neurological...

BLEEDING RISK INDEX (BRI) PREDICTION ALGORITHM
Published Monday, November 7, 2022Hemorrhage is the most common cause of preventable death on the battlefield and in civilian trauma care. Triaging patients that may have life-threatening bleeding in the field is essential for distinguishing those who need trauma center care, early control of bleeding, and blood transfusion. The UMB inventors developed the Bleeding Risk Index (...

Combination Assessment of Volume Status (CAVS)
Published Wednesday, May 17, 2023Early and aggressive fluid resuscitation in shock is associated with improved patient outcome and mortality. However, there is a clear correlation between cumulative fluid balance and mortality. There is, therefore, a benefit to adopting a systematic approach to fluid resuscitation to determine which patients would benefit from a fluid bolus...

eLVOTD: Estimation of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Diameter
Published Monday, May 15, 2017The left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTD) is one of two measurements needed to calculate cardiac stroke volume and cardiac output (CO). CO is an important measure of heart function and can help determine the need for inotropic support of the heart. In combination with mean arterial blood pressure, CO can also be used to determine the...

Image Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cell MicroTentacles
Published Wednesday, October 4, 2017The study of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is of considerable interest because of their prognostic value and for therapeutic development. One interesting morphological aspect of CTCs is the presence of microtentacles. Microtenticles are protusions found on the CTCs that are thought to be critically important for...

Individually Optimized Uniform Enhancement in Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) Scans
Published Thursday, February 23, 2017CT has become the primary method for to evaluate for pulmonary embolism (PE). However for CT to be diagnostic, uniform contrast enhancement of the pulmonary arterial tree is desired. Obtaining uniform contrast enhancement is difficult because there are numerous factors involved. There are methods for calculating the correct injection rate for...

Inhibition Of Metastatic Tumors
Published Wednesday, May 28, 2014Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Death of cancer patients is most often caused by metastatic spread of tumor cells from the primary tumor site through the bloodstream where the cells lie dormant for long periods. These dormant cells will invade secondary sites such as the lung, liver or kidney where they develop...
