The goal of my dissertation research is to develop implantable sensors that attach to
prosthesis prior to implantation and measures biomarkers of infection in joint fluid in order to …

An implantable sensor developed to measure synovial fluid pH for noninvasive early
detection and monitoring of hip infections using standard‐of‐care plain radiography is …

A radiographically visualized implantable dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor is
developed to non‐invasively detect and monitor hip infections. The sensor is based on a pH …

A biomedical sensor was developed to measure local pH near orthopedic implants to detect
and study implant-associated infection. The sensor is read using plain radiography, a …

Prosthetic joint infections are a major complication for patients undergoing joint surgery.
Available diagnostic tests are nonspecific to prosthetic joint infections and based on serum …

Orthopedic implants are manufactured to support on healing fractured bones. In United
States, over 2 million fracture fixation devices, including intra-medullary nails, external …

Background: The diagnosis of joint replacement infection is a difficult clinical challenge that
often occurs when the implant cannot be salvaged. We hypothesize that the pH value of …

Artificial joints are subject to chronic infections associated with bacterial biofilms, which only
can be eradicated by the traumatic removal of the implant followed by sustained intravenous …

A multidisciplinary multiinstitutional group of investigators composed of microbiologists,
MEMs scientists, and electrical engineers has been assembled to work on the design and …

Pain following arthroplasty presents the physician with a challenging diagnostic dilemma,
and the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection is traumatic for the patient and surgeon …
