Objective. A major reason for poor visual outcomes provided by existing retinal prostheses
is the limited knowledge of the impact of photoreceptor loss on retinal remodelling and its …

Cryptosporidium is an intracellular parasite that can infect the gastrointestinal epithelium to
produce a profuse diarrhea that can be life-threatening in immunocompromised hosts. This …

Photoreceptor loss and inner retinal network remodeling severely impacts the ability of
retinal prosthetic devices to create artificial vision. We developed a computational model of a …

Public health officials and tobacco researchers have raised concerns about the possible
contributions of additives to the toxicity of cigarettes. However, little attention has been given to …

Introduction Current brain-based visual prostheses pose significant challenges impeding
adoption such as the necessarily complex surgeries and occurrence of more substantial side …

dc. description. abstract This thesis focuses on advancing the design of retinal neuroprostheses,
aiming to understand how a degenerated retinal network responds to electrical …

Background Despite the importance of early initiation of and exclusive breastfeeding, prelacteal
feeds continue to pose a barrier to optimal breastfeeding practices in several countries, …

This research presents a computational model of the human retina’s response to electrical
stimulation using three-dimensional penetrating electrodes. Our model suggests that varying …

Surprisingly, unlike most Apicomplexa, Cryptosporidium parvum appears to lack a plastid
genome. Primers based upon the highly conserved plastid small- or large-subunit rRNA (SSU/…

This study examined the effect of the patient’s level of motivation upon process and outcome
in short-term psychotherapy. 18 shy, anxious, and depressed male college students …
