Novel Skin Prick Test Device (2023-045)
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions are immune-mediated reactions to proteins and responsible for symptoms of allergic rhinitis, food allergy, and anaphylaxis. Immediate hypersensitivities are mediated by allergic IgE antibodies that inappropriately recognize a foreign protein as immunogenic. To test for the presence of IgE antibodies, a skin prick...

Bed-Mounted Tool Organization System for Microlaryngoscopy (2022-108)
Microlaryngoscopic surgery entails utilizing an array of subtly different instruments to access the voice box and airway with magnified visualization. In the current surgical paradigm, a scrub tech arranges tools on a Mayo stand or table and hands each instrument to the surgeon when verbally requested. This interaction between scrub tech and surgeon...

Three-Dimensional Echo Decorrelation Imaging for Thermal Ablation of Liver Cancer (2022-008)
Liver cancer is common in the United States, with over 36,000 Americans receiving a diagnosis of liver cancer each year. Thermal ablation, including radiofrequency and microwave ablation (RFA and MWA) is a useful treatment for liver cancer, but patient outcomes are inferior to that of surgery. Monitoring and controlling thermal ablation would overcome...

Novel Calibration Phantom for Improved Proton Radiotherapy Outcomes (2020-143)
Proton radiotherapy involves precise delivery of high doses of radiation to treat cancer. Protons travel a certain distance into the tissue, and energy is released only at the target site. This makes proton radiotherapy more precise than traditional radiation treatment, and less destructive to surrounding healthy tissue. However, full optimization of...

Face Mask with Thermal Pathogen Inactivation (2020-008)
Face masks are a vital piece of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, separating them from infectious pathogens. Despite their protective nature, pathogens can build up and survive on their surface. After a short amount of time, masks with built-up pathogens can infect the healthcare workers wearing them.
Dr. Shanov and his team have...

Intravascular Ultrasound Device for Inhibition of Reperfusion Injury (117-083)
Myocardial infarction is induced by an ischemic event and often leads to damage of the myocardium and potentially death. Approximately 150,000 deaths occur each year in the United States due to acute myocardial infarction and a similar number going on to suffer from debilitating heart failure due to infarction. While new therapies to restore blood flow...

Nanopipette Device for Label-Free, Rapid Liquid Cancer Biopsy (117-042)
Early cancer detection is crucial for survival. Many cancer screening methods and biopsies, though, require complex and invasive surgical procedures causing cancers to go undetected during the early stages. Exosomes, or cell-secreted nanoscale extracellular vesicles, contain biomarkers that indicate cancers and other diseases, and they are constantly...

High Purity Magnesium Single Crystal Production (115-008)
Magnesium (Mg) and magnesium-based alloys have favorable properties as biomedical materials due to their biocompatibility, mechanical properties and resorption in the body. However, Mg by itself suffers from a high corrosion rate, traditionally managed by alloying it with other elements, which may be toxic.
Recently, researchers at the University of...

Non-invasive Detection of Spreading Depolarizations (114-089)
Dr. Jed Hartings has discovered the unexpected ability to detect spreading depolarizations of the cerebral cortex using non-invasive scalp electroencephalography (sEEG). Spreading depolarizations are pathophysiologic waves that occur spontaneously in the brain following neurological insults such as brain trauma or stroke. They are believed to cause...
