WHAT DO BLIND PEOPLE "SEE" WITH RETINAL PROSTHESES? OBSERVATIONS AND QUALITATIVE REPORTS OF EPIRETINAL IMPLANT USERS.

What do blind people "see" with retinal prostheses? Observations and qualitative reports of epiretinal implant users.

IntroductionRetinal implants have now been approved and commercially available for certain clinical populations for over 5 years, with hundreds of individuals implanted, scores of them closely followed in research trials.Despite these numbers, however, few data are available that would help us answer basic questions regarding the nature and outcome

Detection and Location of Surface Damage Using Third-Order Combined Harmonic Waves Generated by Non-Collinear Ultrasonic Waves Mixing

Metals which are widely used in many types of industries are usually subjected to fatigue and surface corrosion.There is a demand to detect the surface damage caused by fatigue and corrosion at an early stage to ensure the structural integrity.In this paper, a novel nonlinear ultrasonic technique based on the measure of third-order combined harmoni

Exosome-coated oxygen nanobubble-laden hydrogel augments intracellular delivery of exosomes for enhanced wound healing

Abstract Wound healing is an obvious clinical concern that can be hindered by inadequate angiogenesis, inflammation, and chronic hypoxia.While exosomes derived from adipose tissue-derived stem cells have shown promise in accelerating healing by carrying Hair Color therapeutic growth factors and microRNAs, intracellular cargo delivery is compromised
