Ultrasonic Guided Wave-based Structural Health Monitoring Method and Apparatus for Spinal Growing Rods
Published Monday, June 20, 2016Background:Scoliosis is the deformation or abnormal curvature of the spine and affect 2-3% of the population worldwide. In the severe cases of scoliosis, the standard of practice is to implant growing rod construct devices that straighten the patient’s spine to improve correct spinal alignment and prevent further deformation. These rods...

Disruption of the microtubule network as a therapeutic intervention in the muscular dystrophies
Published Tuesday, May 27, 2014Across several muscular myopathies, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy, and dysferlinopathies, intercellular signaling cascades such as reactive oxygen signaling (ROS) and calcium (Ca2+) are enhanced and contribute to the onset and pathogenic progression of the myopathy. The discovery of the...
