In questo elaborato si affrontano problematiche cliniche legate ai traumi gravi della cute in cui è necessario intervenire chirurgicamente per ripristinare una situazione normale: si approfondisce lo studio della fisiologia del tessuto, la classificazione dei gradi delle ustioni della pelle, la guarigione delle ferite e la meccanica della cute. Il trapianto di tessuto autologo costituisce la soluzione più efficace e con minori complicazioni. Tuttavia il paziente potrebbe non presentare una superficie di cute disponibile sufficientemente estesa, per cui si ricorre ad altri metodi. In primo lu

The increasingly high costs of health care in the U.S. have led the general public to search for different medical approaches.

In 2009, the National Health Statistics reported the impact of CAM in the U.S. health care economy, with population expenditures of $14.8 billion out-of-pocket on natural Medicine and $12.4 billion out-of-pocket on visits to CAM providers as a complement to Western Medicine care.

The treatment of bone defects is facing the situation of lacking donations for autotransplantation. As a valid approach, scaffold-based tissue engineering combines the construction of well-defined porous scaffolds with advanced cell culturing technology to guide tissue regeneration. The role for the scaffold is to provide a suitable environment with a sufficient mechanical stiffness, supports for cell attachment, migration, nutrients and metabolite transport and space for cell remodeling and tissue regeneration.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest Arab state in the Middle East.

This creates a need for sophisticated infrastructure that is able to cater to the needs of an aging population, especially in big cities. Despite the fact that the country is divided into 13 provinces, about 60% of the population lives in only three provinces, which are Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam.

Active contour methods have been widely used in image segmentation applications due to their good boundary detection accuracy. In the context of medical image segmentation, weak edges and inhomogeneities remain important issues that may limit the accuracy of any segmentation method formulated using active contour models. This thesis develops new methods for segmentation of medical images based on the active contour models. Three different approa

The potential effects of introducing bone regeneration strategies into environments of disease and damage are often overlooked, despite the fact that many of the signalling pathways in inflammation have effects on bone development and healing. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are increasingly being used to develop models of disease and have potential in osteogenic-cell based therapies. Osteogenic differentiation strategies for ESCs are well established, but the response of these cells to tissue damage and inflammation has not yet been investigated, particularly in comparison to primary osteoblasts.

One of the challenges associated with tissue engineering cartilage is that of generating constructs of clinically relevant sizes since the formation of a crust of tissue at the scaffold periphery restricts the supply of nutrients t

This thesis shows both the use of acoustic metamaterials and coded waveforms for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications. The exotic features of the acoustic metamaterials have been exploited for imaging a sub-wavelength object at frequencies into the middle audible – low ultrasonic range, thus beating the so-called diffraction limit. This has been investigated by means of both Finite Element Modelling and a series of experiments. These demonstrate that acoustic metamaterials fabricated using additive manufacturing with a polymer substrate can be used successfully for imaging a subwavelengt

Abstract:

A fundamental if poorly understood problem that hydrogels display is the tendency of these contact lens materials to dehydrate, causing certain complications of the corneal epithelium. However, recent studies have indicated that the evaporation rate of water from different hydrogel lenses is the same and the severity of conditions such as corneal staining is controlled by the states of water in the material. A study was therefore undertaken which concluded that increased corneal desiccating staining occurred as the proportion of water existing in the bound state decreased. The possibility of u

Abstract:

This thesis described the research carried out on the development of a novel hardwired tactile sensing system tailored for the application of a next generation of surgical robotic and clinical devices, namely a steerable endoscope with tactile feedback, and a surface plate for patient posture and balance. Two case studies are examined. The first is a one-dimensional sensor for the steerable endoscope retrieving shape and 'touch' information. The second is a two-dimensional surface which interprets the three-dimensional motion of a contacting moving load. This research can be used to retrieve i
