Simple,noninvasive system for measuring the heart rate of avian embryos and hatchlings by means of a piezoelectric film

Using a flexible piezoelectric film, the authors developed a simple system to determine noninvasively the heart rate of chicken embryos and hatchlings. The film was piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which is sensitive enough to detect cardiogenic ballistic movements of the egg (ballistocardiogram (BCG)) and precordial movements of the hatchling attributable to cardiac contractions (apexcardiogram (ACG)). The BCG could be detected, during the second half of incubation, by placing the egg on the PVDF film on a soft substrate. The detected signal was found to be a measure of movement velocity. The ACG could be measured when the hatchling's chest wall made contact with the PVDF film installed in a box in which the hatchling was confined. The heart rate was counted from the lag time of autocorrelation calculated for a certain time segment (e.g. 2s) of the BCG and ACG recordings.     

圆孔外面的观察和测量及其面积的回归方程

60具成人颅骨颅底外面的圆孔观察和测量结果表明:圆孔多呈圆形,其次是卵圆形,其它形较少见.据圆孔与翼突外侧板根部延长线的位置关系,分圆孔位置为三型.圆孔外面观的各项测值左右间均无统计学差异,但其中管性圆孔管长度个体差异较大.圆孔的面积左右比较对称者占3.33±2.34%,左>右者占65.51±6.30%,右>左者占34.48±6.30%.圆孔面积左右对称性比较,对临床诊断疾病有参考意义.其面积的回归方程可由其长、宽径乘积推算 .     

Flat crossed-coil detector for blood flow measurement using nuclear magnetic resonance

A new flat crossed-coil nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) detector can be used to measure flood flow at many regions of the body, is introduced. It is compared, bothin vitro andin vivo, with the already proven cylindrical crossed-coil n.m.r. detector. Both detectors use a single high-field homogenous magnet. A single-sideband receiver reduces the effect of transmitter leakage into the receiver coil to allow the use of a high-level transmitter field. Preliminary application of the flat crossed-coil detector to the detection of cerebral blood flow is presented.     

Biological effects of static magnetic fields on the microcirculatory blood flowin vivo: a preliminary report

There have been few studies of the effect of static magnetic fields on microcirculatory haemodynamics in vivo. The rat skinfold transparent chamber technique was used, which provides an excellent means of observing and quantifying direct in vivo microvascular haemodynamic responses to static magnetic fields up to 8 T. An intravital videomicroscope was used to measure the changes in blood flow before and after exposure to a magnetic field for 20 min in a horizontal type superconducting magnet with a bore 100 mm in diameter and 700 mm long. After exposure, microcirculatory blood flow showed an initial increase for about 5 min followed by a gradual decrease and a return to the control value. It is hypothesised that these changes represent rebound hyperaemia following reduced blood flow during exposure.

Repeatability of measuring knee flexion angles with wearable inertial sensors

Background

As assessment with inertial-measurement-units (IMUs) increases in research and in clinics, it is important to be aware of the repeatability of these sensors. The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the measurement repeatability of IMU joint angles using a repeatable robot controller and an anthropomorphic leg phantom and to determine effects of joint speed and sensor positioning on the angles collected by these sensors. Comparisons to an electro-goniometer and three-dimensional (3D) motion capture cameras were also completed.

Direct blood-pressure measurements: risks,technological evolution and some current problems

The direct measurement of blood pressure has found widespread use in intensive care units, operating rooms, and in emergency departments. Infection, air embolism and thrombosis are some of the risks to patients associated with both the cannulation procedure and with the apparatus used in the blood-pressure measuring process. Although there is constant revision in an attempt to reduce these risks, they cannot be completely eliminated. The need for direct blood-pressure measurements and the physiological effects of air embolism and thrombosis are reviewed. Infection and problems related to the techniques used to insert the catheters are not discussed.

耳穴静态电测量中的瞬变响应

耳穴电参数时变关系实验表明，在测量起始ｔ＜２τ时，因瞬变作用，电位Ｅ（ｔ）和压降Ｕ（ｔ）为瞬态响应，响应函数呈指数关系，特征参数为弛豫时间τ，τ≈ＲＣ；ｔ＞２τ时，为时变间期。电路分析给出数学描述，并与耳穴和模拟实验结果较相符。提示，时变特征应以ｔ＞２τ后提取，静态电测量时，采样应避开瞬变期，可提高准确性。该工作对正确鉴别时变性和特征提取，全面认识耳穴电特性具有重要意义。
