Source: Ali Bazzi, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. DC/DC converters are power electronic converters that convert DC voltages and currents from a certain level to another level. Typically, voltage conversion is the main purpose of DC/DC converters and three main types of conversion exist in a single converter: stepping up, stepping down, and stepping up or down. Among the most common step-up converters are boost converters (Refer to this collections...

Body segmental inertial properties are required for inverse dynamics modeling. Using an oscillation and reaction board technique, inertial properties of below-knee prostheses were measured. Using direct measures of prosthesis inertia in the inverse dynamics model of the prosthetic leg resulted in lower magnitudes of resultant joint forces and moments.

This protocol describes the modified hole board, which is a behavioral test set-up that comprises the characteristics of an open field and a traditional hole board. This set-up enables the differential analysis of unconditioned behavior of small laboratory mammals as well as the analysis of cognitive abilities.

DCE-MRI of Orthotopic Pancreatic Tumor Xenografts: A Method to Assess Microvasculature in a Target Tumor Tissue
0 Views •
2023
This video describes the technique of DCE-MRI for orthotropic pancreatic tumor xenografts in mice. DCE-MRI is a non-invasive method to analyze microvasculature in a target tissue, and useful to assess vascular response in a tumor following a novel therapy. This method will assist investigators to apply DCE-MRI for orthotopic gastrointestinal cancer mouse models.

Creating and Applying a Reference to Facilitate the Discussion and Classification of Proteins in a Diverse Group

2017
The goal of this protocol is to develop a reference for divergent proteins in a group that lacks coherent criteria for nomenclature and classification. This reference will facilitate analyses and discussion of the group as a whole and can be used in addition to established names.
FAQs
Each specialist contributes a different interpretive perspective: pathologists characterize the cancer, radiologists assess imaging, and oncologists and surgeons relate those findings to treatment choices. The group then compares options across surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, and supportive care. This cross-specialty exchange helps expose clinically important information that one discipline might not evaluate fully in isolation.
Pathology helps establish the cancer diagnosis, imaging contributes an assessment of disease findings, and staging places the case within a clinical framework for management. Reviewing them together allows the team to connect what the tumor is, where the disease appears to be, and how extensive it is before comparing treatment options. That integration supports a more coherent plan.
Recommendations are shaped not only by clinical findings but also by the patient’s individual needs. The board can compare guideline-informed options while considering how surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, or supportive care may fit that person’s situation. This approach keeps the proposed plan connected to both evidence and practical patient-centered decision-making rather than treating every case identically.
A case review examines the available diagnosis, pathology, imaging, disease stage, and patient-specific factors. These elements give the multidisciplinary team a shared clinical basis for comparing management options. Organizing the discussion around this information also helps clinicians identify whether additional diagnostic steps, referrals, or other considerations should be incorporated into the proposed plan.
Following review, the team may identify a coordinated management plan, recommend an additional diagnostic step, or suggest referral to another service. It may also recognize a potential clinical trial opportunity. These outputs translate the discussion into actionable next steps and help different members of the care team work from the same understanding of the patient’s needs.
By creating a shared review of the diagnosis, findings, stage, and patient-specific considerations, the discussion gives participating clinicians a common basis for decisions. That shared basis can improve communication, align treatment planning with clinical guidelines and individual needs, and reduce fragmentation among services involved in surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, and supportive care.
