Paraplegia Prevention in Aortic Aneurysm Repair by Thoracoabdominal Staging with ‘Minimally-Invasive Segmental Artery Coil-Embolization’: A Randomized Controlled Multicentre Trial (PAPA-ARTIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Chronic aortic aneurysms are permanent and localized dilations of the aorta that remain asymptomatic for long periods of time but continue to increase in diameter before they eventually rupture. Left untreated, the patients’ prognosis is dismal, since the internal bleeding of the rupture brings about sudden death. Although successful treatment cures the disease, the risky procedures can result in ...

Custom architecturally defined 3D stem cell derived functional human neural networks fortransformative progress in neuroscience and medicine (MESO_BRAIN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

The development of methods to isolate and generate human stem cells along with technology to selectively differentiate them into specific cell and tissue types has excited many with the promise of the ability to study human cell function and utilise them for regeneration in disease and trauma. However, to date, attempts to develop regenerative brain and central nervous system therapies have been d ...

HIgh throughPut LasER processing of DIamond and Silicon (HIPERDIAS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

Driven by the end-users requirements and needs, the main objective of the HIPERDIAS project is to demonstrate high throughput laser-based manufacturing using high-power, high-repetition rate sub-1ps laser. Although the laser system to be developed within HIPERDIAS can address other material processing applications, the focus here will be 3D structuring of silicon at high-speed, precision processin ...

Dobutamine for NEOnatal CIRCulatory failure defined by novel biomarkers (NEO-CIRC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Dobutamine and adrenaline are widely used as second line therapy for systemic hypotension in infants. Dopamine is currently the most widely used first line drug. In neonates, sustained hypotension may, and impaired organ perfusion will, cause brain injury and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. All three catecholamines are currently used off-label and have different modes of action which may result ...

Compact High pErformance QUantum cascadE laseR Sensors (CHEQUERS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

In this proposal we describe a timely and disruptive solution to the long-standing and vexing problem of the rapid stand-off detection of explosive, toxic or otherwise hazardous materials which are present within potential- or post-terrorist attack or industrial accident sites. We will achieve this by realising highly sensitive, state-of-the-art handheld and tripod-mounted instruments based upon a ...

Ultrafast High-Average Power Ti:Sapphire Thin-Disk Oscillators and Amplifiers (TiSa TD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Although hardly visible in daily life, today precision laser micro-machining is employed in a broad and rapidly growing range of medical and industrial applications significantly affecting everybody's life. Short and ultrashort pulsed lasers enable producing structures with sub-micron accuracy, for example diesel injection nozzles which help reducing air pollution significantly when compared to no ...

Ultrafast Lasers with Radial and Azimuthal Polarizations for High-efficiency Micro-machining Applications (Ultrafast_RAZipol)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

High-precision laser micro-machining has delivered a important impact in daily life, hence its benefits and usefulness can easily be taken for granted. For example in the manufacture of smart phones, i-tablets, etc, high-precision laser micro-machining is essential to produce some of the key features we use in these devices. In the car industry it is has been shown that diesel nozzles produced wit ...
