MJIS UPDATES Just a reminder: If you eat/snack in any of the seating areas in MJIS, please take a moment when you are finished to spray and wipe down the tables and make sure all trash is in the trash bins. We are seeing quite an infestation of ants that are attracted to food residue and crumbs! There are cleaning supplies available in each area. PLEASE remember to clean up after yourself each time. Also, we are seeing a lot of backpacks, bookbags and personal items being left in the sitting areas. The Purdue Police have notified us that the theft ring has made a reappearance on campus, and are working their way through campus building. This particular group works on a “theft by convenience” mode – entering unlocked offices, and taking whatever is readily available. If you have high school students or others working in your labs this summer, please make sure they keep their personal belongings on the provided hooks inside the secure lab block. Don’t allow yourself to be the victim of a convenience crime! Important deadlines and information Tues., July 11: BME IBSC PhD Defense Announcement for Mazin Hakim (L.

The BBB acts as a filter, preventing the passage of most artificial materials larger than 100 nm. Additionally, the substantial proton gradient between the brain and blood flow further complicates drug delivery. However, the field of nanomaterials offers promising solutions to overcome these obstacles, thanks to their small sizes and extensive research spanning over 50 years. Numerous approaches and materials have been investigated to enhance BBB permeability, including polymeric, organic, and inorganic nanoparticles, as well as composite nanomaterials. Despite these efforts, achieving efficient drug transport through the BBB remains a significant challenge. In this study, we focus on utilizing DNA nanomaterials, known for their exceptional biocompatibility, to facilitate the delivery of dyes into the brain. Specifically, we employ DNA tetrahedra, which are extensively studied and possess excellent physical rigidity. Our research investigates the impact of various factors, such as size, structure, receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway, and DNA chirality, on the efficiency of drug delivery. Our ultimate goal is to optimize this approach and achieve maximum delivery efficiency while ensuring high biocompatibility. To assess efficiency, we consider factors such as stability (both biological and physical), toxicity, and the quantity of dye delivered through both passive and active diffusion. The outcomes of this study hold significant potential. Firstly, we aim to gain insights into the most efficient method of drug delivery through the BBB using the most biocompatible material available. Additionally, our research contributes to the advancement of DNA bionanotechnology, paving the way for further developments in this field. Ultimately, our work represents a crucial milestone towards effectively treating brain-related diseases by enabling efficient drug delivery to the brain. This text was edited with chatGPT.

This research focuses on developing a 4-axis 3D printer designed specifically to address challenges associated with the conformal manufacturing of electronics on catheter surfaces for smart catheter applications. The goal is to eliminate complex lithography transfer techniques and overcome issues related to adhesion, surface geometry mismatch, material wastage, and other common problems in traditional fabrication methods. The key innovation of this device is its ability to directly print electronics on the catheter surface, transforming the catheter into a print bed. Leveraging the catheter's rotational movement and automatic height detection with specialized control system algorithms, the printer ensures precise nozzle positioning regardless of the catheter's surface geometry. Directly printing electronics onto catheters enables the development of advanced functionalities, including integrated sensors, wireless communication modules, and therapeutic devices. Additive manufacturing and the versatility of different inks and nanomaterials allow for incorporating a wide range of functionalities into these conformal medical devices. We have demonstrated printing encrypted chipless RFID antennas, microheaters, flow sensors, pH sensors, strain sensors, and flexible conducting traces directly on catheters, unlocking the potential for smart implantable catheters. This advancement enhances monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment capabilities while reducing the complexity and costs associated with traditional manufacturing techniques. The 4-axis printing approach provides customization and adaptability, allowing for patient-specific and tailored electronic devices on catheters.

Anderson (B. Duerstock and Thomas H. Everett IV, co-advisors), Thurs., July 6, 2:00 p.m., via Zoom. Title of presentation: Cardiac Effects of Recurring Autonomic Dysreflexia. Advisory Committee: Bradley S. Duerstock and Thomas H. Everett IV, co-chairs, Riyi Shi Abstract: Persons with a spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sixth thoracic vertebrae commonly experience autonomic dysreflexia (AD), 90 percent of individuals with this level of injury are susceptible to AD which is associated with an increase in sympathetic nerve activity. Left untreated AD causes a paroxysmal rise in blood pressure that may result in seizures, heart attack, or even death. This project investigates how AD affects QT interval, RR interval, P wave height, heart rate, and QRS width both during an event and long term to help identify potential cardiac risks for individuals with SCI who experience chronic AD. Sympathetic tone has been shown to influence QT interval changes that can be indicative of an increased risk of arrhythmia, which can be exacerbated by recurring episodes of AD. A rat spinal cord injury model at the T3 level undergoing colorectal distention (CRD) was used to induce AD. Electrophysiological recordings from an implanted ECG sensor and noninvasive skin nerve activity (SKNA) sensor array during normal baseline and three trials of CRD were collected on days 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, and 21 post-SCI. QT interval measurements were taken for 2 minutes of baseline and for 2 minutes after the initiation of each CRD trial. Corrected QT interval (QTc) was calculated using normalized Bazett’s formula to account for the impact of heart rate on QT interval. It was found that the rats’ susceptibility and reaction to AD events varied between subacute (5-14 days) and chronic phases of SCI. During the chronic phase the incidence of AD events increased during regular occurrences of CRD as indicated by above-threshold (≥15 mmHg) blood pressure spikes. AD events also resulted in increased QT interval short term variability marking an increased risk of arrythmias. Baseline P-wave height and QTc interval were also increased resulting in potentially detrimental cardiac effects. This rat model showed that humans who experience recurrent AD during the chronic phase of SCI may be at increased risk for arrythmia.

An AI-based guidance system does not only enhance the capabilities of untrained personnel to deliver diagnosis or resuscitative care in austere environments but also increases their confidence to undertake psychologically daunting procedures. This dataset would allow the study of human actions and intentions from the first-person view in the medical domain (refer to egocentric datasets of medical procedures). To the best of our knowledge, our dataset is the first egocentric view dataset of life-saving intervention (LSI) procedures with detailed annotations by medical professionals. We have collected over 200 procedure videos with environment, simulator, and type variability. Based on this dataset, the challenge we propose involves multiple tasks to encourage participants across the globe to design impactful algorithms with applications to medicine. The envisioned algorithms include action recognition, action anticipation, procedure recognition, and visual question answering (VQA).
