-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Some have argued that the genetic differences between continentally defined groups are relatively small and unlikely to have biomedical significance. In this study, the extent of variation between continentally defined ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Collective intelligence techniques have been used to predict stock prices, customer purchasing habits, movies and books preferences for years, yet they remain unused in the medical profession. With the increasing adoption ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The ease of targeted genetic modification makes the mouse a valuable model to study hearing and deafness. A powerful window into cochlear function can be obtained by recording from single auditory (AN) fibers, primary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Here we describe an experimental method for measuring the acoustic transmission matrix of the middle-ear using otoacoustic emissions. The experiment builds on previous work that uses distortion product otoacoustic emissions ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) is a brainstem-based neural feedback circuit by which mammals adaptively adjust the gain of their ears in response to changing environmental conditions. Activating the reflex with ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)I study several aspects of the value in performing oncology clinical trials using screening biomarkers to preferentially select and enroll responders. From trial reports and investigational reports on potential biomarkers, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)My first hypothesis in this thesis is that there is significant value vested in traditional Chinese medicine that can be captured by converting them into ethical drugs through scientific analysis, screening and validation. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Polyethylene wear is a significant clinical problem limiting the long-term survival of joint replacement prostheses, particularly in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although the tribology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) are electrical signals recorded from the skin overlying skeletal muscles of the head and neck in response to high-intensity acoustic stimuli. VEMPs have been observed in stimulus ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Telephone linked care (TLC) is a telehealth intervention that has been shown to be effective in a variety of clinical settings. TLC is an interactive computerized telephone system. The system 'speaks' to patients, asking ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a technique that facilitates the incorporation of confocal microscopy into small, portable clinical instruments. This would allow in vivo evaluation of cellular and sub-cellular ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The leading publicly traded pharmaceutical companies ("Big Pharma) in the US are facing a commercial crisis - their sales structure collectively consisting of more than 100,000 pharmaceutical sales representatives, originally ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Personalized medicine is the science and practice of customizing medical screening and treatment plans for an individual based on his or her genomic profile. Breast cancer is one of the first disease areas to serve as an ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This paper demonstrates that one can infer with respectable accuracy a physician's view of the therapeutic relationship that he or she has with a given patient, using data available in the patient's electronic medical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Synaptic plasticity is the substrate of a vast variety of learning mechanisms. However, the molecular pathways and physiological patterns that regulate it are poorly understood. In the first part of this thesis, we focus ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Current implementations of patient information review on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are gaining traction in the in-patient hospital setting. There are tremendous patient safety and satisfaction, workflow improvement ...
