On earth, the Holy Grail for portable medical diagnostics is the development of a self- contained, robust, general-purpose assay system for analysis of bodily or environmental fluids. While this remains the goal, most research today focuses on bits and pieces of such a device, such as separation[r]

Antibiotic resistance of microorganisms is one of the major problems faced in the field of wound care management resulting in complications such as infection and delayed wound healing. Currently a lot of research is focused on developing newer antimicrobials to treat wounds in[r]

In this chapter I will summarize some studies on the freshwater polyp Hydra vulgaris , a primitive organism at the base of metazoan evolution, to test NCs of different chemical composition, shell and surface coatings. The body structural complexity, simpler than vertebrates,[r]

When tested on 1,200 patients aged 5 to 95 years operating time was 2.5 minutes for patients with excessive foreskin and 3.5 minutes for those with phimosis (Peng et al. , 2008). After application it is worn for a week, with no incidents of device dislocation or damage to the frenulum. Peng e[r]

the outpatient service can present a barrier. On the other hand the insurance companies would most likely prefer a service that could be performed on patient’s home, the patient would be given instructions over the communication media and if possible posses a device that could evalu[r]

6.1 Branching Rules
We will develop a model of the age distribution in a filamentous organ- ism based on the simple picture of the root or of a filamentous fungi in which the organism is made of well-defined cells with cell ages that increase with distance from the tip or apical re[r]

The modular structures for implants are used for the osteosynthesis of diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures of long bones. These are based on the making of identical modules- completely interchangeable, made of titanium or biocompatible stainless steel 316L, after which Nitinol elements are inter[r]

genetic and biochemical studies has allowed scientists to begin to understand the molecular basis of complex diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Several pharmaceutical companies developed research programs that use simple organisms to identify and validate drug targets. Since the product[r]

5.4 Metal ions release
It is realized that high strength alloys possess good mechanical strength but has relatively poor corrosion resistance properties. In most situations it is worst if metal ion release follow corrosion process which can be a toxic contaminant inside human body. As an[r]

3.3.2 Optical sensors
Of various signal transducers, optically addressable sensors based on fluorescent “turn-on” or “turn-off” mechanism have been demonstrated to be highly desirable for a variety of small molecular analytes in many challenging environments, due to their high signal outp[r]

6. Conclusion
This thematic chapter of the scientific monograph indicates, as expected, that there is not available any universal method capable to solve all the analytical problems. On the other hand, this work clearly shows that the advanced on-line coupled systems are characterized by a cap[r]

With the recently developed methods with lower-jittered sequences, CLAD or QSD paradigms are gradually applied in many studies. For instance, CLAD was implemented with other denoising techniques to assess MLRs recorded during sleep and the relation of MLRs and sleep st[r]

7. Conclusion
Modern microfabrication techniques offer great opportunities in the development of novel implantable neural interfaces for recording and stimulating purposes. Miniaturized electrode arrays with high-channel densities are now in common use in animal mode[r]
