As a biomarker for liver disease, bilirubin has been utilized in prognostic scoring systems for cirrhosis. While laboratory-based methods are used to determine bilirubin levels in clinical settings, they do not readily lend themselves to…
While the pathophysiology underlying the COVID-19 infection remains incompletely understood, there is growing evidence to indicate that it is closely correlated to hypercoagulation among severely ill patients. Doctors may choose for use…
Clinical guidelines recommend maintaining serum potassium levels between 4.0 and 5.0 mEq/L in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). These guidelines are based on recent studies that found significant associations between crossing…
Deep learning research has generated widespread interest leading to emergence of a large variety of technological innovations and applications. As significant proportion of deep learning research focuses on vision based applications, there…
A low-cost, robust, and simple mechanism to measure hemoglobin would play a critical role in the modern health infrastructure. Consistent sample acquisition has been a long-standing technical hurdle for photometer-based portable hemoglobin…
This proof of concept (PoC) assesses the ability of machine learning (ML) classifiers to predict the presence of a stenosis in a three vessel arterial system consisting of the abdominal aorta bifurcating into the two common iliacs. A…
Managing blood lipid levels is important for the treatment and prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. An easy-to-use, portable lipid blood test will accelerate more frequent testing by patients and at-risk populations.…
Liver zonation is a fundamental characteristic of hepatocyte spatial heterogeneity, which is challenging to recapitulate in traditional cell cultures. This study presents a novel microfluidic device designed to induce zonation in liver cell…
Few studies have investigated the diagnostic utilities of biomarkers for predicting bacteremia among septic patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). Therefore, this study evaluated the prediction power of laboratory biomarkers to…
Regular blood pressure (BP) monitoring in clinical and ambulatory settings plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the widespread adoption of ambulatory BP…
Clinicians often do not sufficiently adhere to evidence-based clinical guidelines in a manner sensitive to the context of each patient. It is important to detect such deviations, typically including redundant or missing actions, even when…
Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) devices combining microfluidic analyte provision with integrated optical analysis are highly desirable for several applications in biological oder medical sciences. While the microfluidic approach is already broadly…
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is one of the most commonly applied tools for cardiac function imaging in the clinical routine of the emergency department and pediatric intensive care unit. The prior studies demonstrate that AI-assisted…
An instrument has been developed for precision controlled exposures of electronic devices and material samples in particle beams. The instrument provides simultaneously a real time record of the profile of the beam and the fluence received.…
A device based on Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography is developed to monitor blood glucose levels in human subjects. The device was initially tested with tissue phantom. The measurements with human subjects for various…
We demonstrate novel instrumentation for spontaneous Raman spectroscopy in biofluids, enabling development of a portable, automated, reliable diagnostics technique requiring minimal operator expertise to quantify disease markers. Label-free…
Droplet-based microfluidic systems are a promising platform forlab-on-a-chip (LoC) applications. These systems can also be used toenhance LoC applications with integrated droplet control information or for data transmission scenarios in the…
To best of the authors knowledge, this article presents the first-ever non-invasive glucometer that takes into account serum glucose for high accuracy. In case of blood glucose measurement, serum glucose value has always been considered…
Objective: This pilot study was done to evaluate the capability of a prototype low cost blue light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy device in lowering bilirubin levels among healthy term infants diagnosed with indirect hyperbilirubinemia.…
Blood accounts for 7-8% of total body weight, with an average adult containing 4.5 to 6 quarts. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, removes waste products, supports immunity, and regulates body temperature. Comprising over 4,000…
