Fatal penetrating injuries of the chest
… In order to document the true impact of penetrating chest injuries, and to place mortality data in perspective, a retrospective descriptive study of all cases with fatal penetrating chest injuries admitted to the Salt River Medicolegal Laboratory in Cape Town during 1990 was undertaken. …

Cell penetrating peptide for ocular drug delivery
… cell uptake, Gap19 was fused with the cell penetrating peptide, Xentry, which specifically binds to cell surface expressed Syndecan-4 receptors that are upregulated in inflammatory and hypoxic injury. Therefore, the overall hypothesis of this thesis is that the fusion peptide Xentry-Gap19 …

The current management of penetrating cardiac trauma
The vast majority of patients with penetrating cardiac injuries do not reach the hospital alive as the pre-hospital mortality rate for these injuries is in the region of 86%. The patients that do reach the hospital alive are potential survivors and it is obviously crucial that any cardiac injury is …

The effects of orientation on ground penetrating radar
… how changes in the orientation of a Ground Penetrating Radar's receiver with respect to its transmitter can affect the detection of radar pulses by the receiver. The orientation changes discussed in this paper are elevating the receiver, rotating the receiver in the surface plane, …

Tumor-penetrating delivery of small interfering RNA therapeutics
… that integrates the tumor specificity and tissue-penetrating ability of tumor-penetrating peptides with membrane penetration properties of protein transduction domains to direct siRNA to tumors in vivo. Second, we utilized this delivery system to bridge the gap between cancer genomic discovery and …

Nondestructive evaluation of wooden logs using ground penetrating radar
… scanning of logs using techniques such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) prior to sawing can greatly increase the productivity and yield of high value lumber. Currently GPR has been widely used for civil engineering applications for nondestructive testing of bridges and highways. GPR is also being …

Novel cell-penetrating peptide-based vectors for siRNA delivery
… limited its development as a therapeutic. Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs), such as the Antennapedia homeodomain (AntpHD) and its third helix, Penetratin, are well characterised cationic motifs used previously to deliver covalently linked nucleic acid cargo, such as siRNA in vitro and in vivo, …

Penetrating femoral artery injuries : an urban trauma center experience
… Up to 88% of these injuries are as a result of penetrating trauma. The Groote Schuur hospital trauma unit is a level one centre. It is a quaternary hospital and a referral center for all surrounding secondary level hospitals. Femoral vessel injuries are the second most common peripheral vascular …

Penetrating injuries of the thoracic aorta and its branches
Penetrating injuries of the intrathoracic great vessels are well recognized although uncommon. In the First World War no survivors with thoracic vascular injury were recorded among soldiers treated with penetrating injuries to the chest as recorded by Makins. The first record of successful repair …

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in penetrating abdominal trauma
… cohort of 38 consecutive patients with isolated penetrating abdominal trauma undergoing emergency laparotomy were included in the study. The ERP included: early feeding, early urinary catheter removal, early mobilisation/physiotherapy, early intravenous line removal and early optimal oral …

A spatial display for Ground-Penetrating Radar change detection
Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) enables the exploration and mapping of subterranean volumes for applications such as construction, humanitarian demining, archeology, and environmental science. In each of these applications, special signal processing pipelines have been developed to reduce noise and …

Coarse Root Biomass and Architecture: Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar
<p>The effectiveness of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to identify and quantify coarse roots was tested in a mixed-oak forest in Southeastern Virginia using experimental pits and locally excavated root segments. GPR was found to be highly dependent on low soil moisture levels as it is unable to …

Wire detection using ground penetrating radar using image processing techniques
… using various techniques applied to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) images. In this study, a step-frequency GPR with a co-pole configuration was used to collect data. The first approach proposes the use of Hough Transform (HT) to detect surface wires. The collected data is processed by …

USING A NOVEL CELL- PENETRATING PEPTIDE TECHNOLOGY TO INDUCE PLURIPOTENCY
… exogenous delivery of OSKM proteins using cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). Classically, CPP-mediated delivery has been inefficient because of poor penetration and entrapment in endosomes. Our lab’s novel CPP-adaptor system overcomes entrapment by relying on the cell’s natural calcium flux. A …
