An assessment of muscle insertion sites and biomechanical beam analaysis in living subjects
… brachialis insertion site and supinator crest in living subjects, and to correlate this with muscle strength.

Anthropomorphic thigh for impact assessment
… This involved utilising data generated from living subjects and cadavers to select the soft tissue component of the model.

Assessing Multivariate Heritability through Nonparametric Methods
The similarities between generations of living subjects are often quantified by heritability. By distinguishing genotypic variation, or variation due to parental pairings, from phenotypic variation, or normal intraspecies variation, the heritability of traits can be estimated. Due to the …

Utilization of TMV-TEMPO as an in Vivo MRI Sensor of ROS Production in Liver Inflammation and as a DNP Agent
… generate exquisite images of soft tissues in living subjects for medical diagnostics. This PhD dissertation details the i) utility of a nitroxyl-modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as an in vivo MRI contrast agent for detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in murine model of liver …

The Association Between Changes in Body Fat, Body Weight and Serum C-Reactive Protein: A Prospective Study
… and Results-</strong></em> A cohort of 150 free-living subjects was followed prospectively over a 2½-year period. BF% was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), while BW was determined with a calibrated, electronic scale. There was no significant relationship between changes in …

Effects of High Fruit Intake on Systematic Blood Pressure in African Americans
… BP in African-Americans. Thirty-eight free-living subjects with systolic BPs between 130-159 mm Hg and diastolic BPs between 85-99 mm Hg, were enrolled for a six week period. The cases were given daily supplements of potassium rich foods: bananas, orange juice and raisins, while no dietary …

The biomechanics of the knee following injury and reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament c Louis DeFrate.
… the posterior cruciate ligament was studied in living subjects using imaging and solid modeling techniques. Three-dimensional models of the knee joint, including the insertion sites of the posterior cruciate ligament were created from magnetic resonance images. The subjects then flexed their …

Engineering genetically-encodable MRI contrast agents for in vivo imaging
… methods for detecting physiological processes in living organisms. One way to overcome this limitation is to develop contrast agents that report physiological events at a molecular level. Traditionally MRI contrast agents have been based on small molecules that chelate paramagnetic ions such as Gd …

Understanding value in digital humanities: a case study from a community oral history archive
… that emerge when material collected from living subjects is disseminated online. Digital humanists generally endorse open access. In contrast, oral historians frequently adopt a curated approach to online dissemination (because of concerns about ethics and privacy). Drawing on empirical …

Exploring the role of mu opioid receptor (OPRM1) and CYP2B6 gene variations for methadone pharmacogenomics. Can these variations be used to advance toxicological interpretation post-mortem?.
… a control population of live non-methadone using subjects, to determine the prevalence and distribution of specific variations in post-mortem and living subjects. Further in vitro study was conducted to assist in interpreting the association between OPRM1 and CYP2B6 variations and individual …

Development of PET Radiotracers for Imaging Neurodegeneration: Targeting alpha-Synuclein Fibrils and TSPO
… physiological and pharmacological processes in living subjects. This is achieved through application of radiotracers – compounds labelled with positron emitting radionuclides. Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of neurons resulting in impairment of brain function leading to cognitive …

Genetically engineered sensors for non-invasive molecular imaging using MRI
… or activities of specific molecules in living subjects have the potential to greatly advance science and medicine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tool uniquely suited to this task because of its ability to image deep inside tissues at relatively high spatial and temporal …

Development of small molecule probes for fluorescence and photoacoustic molecular imaging
… place at the molecular levels within intact living subjects. As such, it has become an indispensable tool for both basic research and biomedical applications. In particular, fluorescence imaging allows us to study molecular processes at the cellular level in real time because of its excellent …
