A Meta-Analysis on Prevalence of Organ-Specific Cancer and Hypertension

Morgan Connaughton, “A Meta-Analysis on Prevalence of Organ-Specific Cancer and Hypertension” Mentor: Mahsa Dabagh, Biomedical Engineering Hypertension and cancer are two of the most problematic health conditions in the world. Hypertension, which is defined by the CDC as systolic blood…… Read More

Applying Hemodynamics in Treatment Planning for Aneurysm

Madison Schillinger, “Applying Hemodynamics in Treatment Planning for Aneurysm” Mentor: Mahsa Dabagh, Biomedical Engineering Intracranial aneurysms are a condition where weak areas of blood vessels in the brain can expand and create blood-filled sacs. Rupture of these aneurysms leads to…… Read More
