Clinical Utility of Proposed Gait Stability Measures: Selection, Application and Evaluation of the Extrapolated Centre of Mass
DownloadSpring 2019
Gait stability is the ability to maintain a state of equilibrium during locomotion. In humans, this includes the need to maintain a stable walking pattern while regularly positioning the body in a state of imbalance. Thus, it is not surprising that gait is accompanied by an increased risk of...

Contributions of Prefrontal White Matter Integrity to Cognitive Performance in Healthy Aging
DownloadFall 2021
Aging is well-known to produce changes in the brain at both the functional and anatomical level. Increased age is associated with general brain atrophy and a decline in cognitive abilities such as executive functioning, working memory, and processing speed. A key brain region responsible for...

Development and Application of Quantitative Gradient-Echo MRI Techniques for Assessment of Iron and Myelin in the Multiple Sclerosis Brain
DownloadFall 2018
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease of the Central Nervous System that results in demyelination and neuronal/axonal loss. Along with clinical evaluation, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold standard modality for diagnosing and monitoring MS,...

Development of A Gadolinium-Based Nanotheranostics Platform for Irradiation Activatable MRI-Radiosensitization and Doxorubicin Release in Cancer Therapy
DownloadSpring 2022
The ultimate goal of this thesis research was to design, fabricate, and characterize an integrated nanotheranostics platform for activatable doxorubicin delivery and simultaneous MRI- radiosensitization for synergistic cancer therapy, targeting breast cancer treatment. As shown in the diagram,...

Fall 2018
Although various medical diagnostics exist to test biologics for biomarkers, diseases, or proteins of interest; there is currently no point-of-care platform test that is quick, inexpensive, and easy to use. The aim of this work was to further develop a stand-alone, point-of-care medical...

Fall 2013
The aim of this work is to develop an effective non-viral carrier and to identify suitable gene targets that would induce apoptosis specifically in lymphoma cells upon down-regulation with short interfering RNA (siRNA). Lymphoma is common in children and young adults, and although survival rate...
