Presented at Georgia Tech 2023 Career, Research, and Innovation Development Conference Poster / Here, we present a skin-like, wearable patch microfabricated to seamlessly integrate with the human body and provide high fidelity physiological monitoring in a simple, minimally obtrusive platform. Specifically, this device has been optimized to capture...

In this paper, a structure of a patch antenna operating at 0.5 GHz is proposed for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) applications, with an optimized performance at low frequencies. The structure was designed using FR4 substrate, with a 4.4 permittivity value, and a tangent loss equivalent to 0.021. The prototype design is backed by an optimized rectan...

Wound care management urgently needs the development of innovative smart wound dressings. The complexity of the wound often requires the use of personalized medication and the advent of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting fits strongly with this need. In this view, in the present work a methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) bioink was tested for the ...

Background: Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) classically presents with papules, plaques, and nodules/tumors. Previous reports of PCBCL manifesting with macular lesions are scarce and focused on primary cutaneous follicle-center cell lymphoma (PCFCL). Objectives: The objective of this study was to report our experience with PCBCL presenting...

A fast and novel method for single-image reconstruction using the super-resolution (SR) technique has been proposed in this paper. The working principle of the proposed scheme has been divided into three components. A low-resolution image is divided into several homogeneous or non-homogeneous regions in the first component. This partition is based ...

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is an effective intervention for the treatment of high-grade carotid stenosis. Technical preferences exist in the operative steps including the use patch for arteriotomy closure. The goals of this study are to compare the rate of postoperative complications and the rate of recurrent stenosis between patients undergoing ...

Full-thickness wounds to the eye can lead to serious vision impairment. Current standards of care (from suturing to tissue transplantation) usually require highly skilled surgeons and use of an operating theater. In this study, we report the synthesis, optimization, and in vitro and ex vivo testing of photocrosslinkable hydrogel-based adhesive patc...

The mammalian striatum is comprised of intermingled tissue compartments, matrix and striosome. Though indistinguishable by routine histological techniques, matrix and striosome have distinct embryologic origins, afferent/efferent connections, surface protein expression, intra-striatal location, susceptibilities to injury, and functional roles in a ...

Iatrogenic internal carotid artery (ICA) injury is a catastrophic complication in open skull base surgery. There is a lack of information regarding the most appropriate techniques on how to manage this complication. To highlight the difficulties encountered when an ICA injury arises intraoperatively and discuss the role and the potential pitfalls o...
