Drill Guide/Suture Passer for Posterior Approach Total Hip Soft Tissue Repair
­Combined drill guide and suture passer for use in assisting repair following posterior approach total hip arthroplasty. Background: The posterior approach to the hip for total hip replacement as well as trauma, pediatric orthopedic surgery, and tumors is the most common approach for total hip arthroplasties. However, the performance of this...

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy Fixation Device
Fixation device to secure bone fragment of tibial tuberosity to native bone after osteotomy surgical procedure. Background: Standard osteotomy techniques to join the tibial tubercle fragment to native bone include screw fixation alone or fixation with wire or suture, which are not reliable methods to holding the bone in place to avoid displacement...

Novel Suturing Device Kit
A surgical "sewing machine" for rapid graft quilting and suturing in challenging spaces. Background: Grafts are commonly employed in urologic reconstructive surgery, but anchoring them in less accessible areas -- as in luminal stenosis surgery -- can be difficult. A novel surgical "sewing machine" capable of quilting and suturing...

Liquid Tissue Graft
A minimally invasive option for treating urogenital stricture and other wounds using liquid buccal mucosa tissue graft. Background: There is no agreed upon optimal treatment for urogenital stricture disease, which occurs when inflammation or scar tissue narrows the ureter/urethra. Noninvasive options include: 1. using dilators of increasing size or...

Real-Time Pediatric Regional Anesthesia Titration Device
NU 2017-052 INVENTORS Matthieu Kevin Chardon Charles Heckman* Santhanam Suresh* Michael David Johnson ABSTRACT When possible, particularly in pediatric care, regional anesthesia is generally preferred over general anesthesia. However, pediatric regional anesthesia dosing guidelines are mostly unknown and based only on expert conjecture. Further complicating...

Desensitization and Reduction of Chronic Pain
The University of Texas at Dallas presents a novel class of inhibitors, specificity-derived competitive inhibitor oligonucleotides (SPOT-ONs) that bind to poly(A) binding protein (PABP), and the associated inventive strategy to treat pathological pain. Pathological pain plasticity has been shown to take place in nociceptors, sensory neurons which...

Neurocase: Peripheral Nerve Electrode for Neural Recording and Stimulation
The ability to record and stimulate neural activity with implanted microelectrode arrays has been limited by the problems of insertion trauma and foreign body response, which can lead to neuron damage and reduced reliability of results. Minimizing such tissue responses is necessary to develop implantable interfaces for studying neural activity and even...

Powered Prosthetic Leg for Restoring Natural Locomotion and Mobility Across Tasks
Current passive prostheses are used to alleviate the effects of amputation, but they are limited in their ability to completely restore functionality because such mechanisms may only dissipate energy that the user introduces. In the case of above-knee amputees, many passive prosthetic devices aim to mimic normal walking conditions but typically leave...

Small Molecule Inhibitor of Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2): Therapeutic Candidate and Diagnostic Tool for Metastatic Cancers
The transcription factor Forkhead Box Protein C2 (FOXC2) is known to be necessary to initiate and maintain the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which has been a hot target for therapeutic intervention against cancers. The overexpression of FOXC2 bestows cancer cells with metastatic and cancer stem cell (CSC)‐like phenotypes, i.e., higher motility,...
