摘要:

The reduction of peripheral blood flow, which occurs during shock or in patients with occlusive arterial disease of the lower limb is accompanied by an increase in hydrogen ion activity in tissue cells. If this change could be measured, it could possibly be used as an indicator of tissue perfusion in such patients. Investigations have been carried out into various pH micro-electrode designs in order to construct one which could be used clinically to measure extracellular pH changes in skin. Experiments with antimony and externally insulated glass micro-electrodes demonstrated that these were unsatisfactory for the purpose. The successful design was insulated internally by means of a glass to glass fuse. It was robust, stable, sensitive and had a fast response time. Use of the electrode in normal volunteers produced reproducible skin pH values and demonstrated the feasibility of the system. Preliminary results using the micro-electrodes in patients indicate their possible application to the assessment of peripheral vascular disease, and to the monitoring of patients under intensive care.

摘要:

A course is described in which undergraduate students of electronics can study aspects of medical instrumentation throughout a three-year period. This course includes as much electronics as a normal B.Sc programme in Electronics but contains a background theme of medical engineering and bioengineering amounting to 20% of the total work load. The course is compared with two similar courses in Britain and also with courses abroad. Some consideration is given to the educational content of this course as well as to employment opportunities and social trends.

摘要:

Health care in developing countries is discussed in terms of the administrative systems, medical manpower and technologies which are most appropriate to the economic and cultural environment in which they will be used. Appropriate technology must be preceded by appropriate research and development and those involved in the training of overseas students should critically examine the relevance of the course to the needs of the students.

摘要:

The gravimetric plethysmograph measures blood flow in the limb in terms of the increase in weight which follows temporary venous occlusion. Following validation of the device, blood flow in the leg was evaluated in normal subjects and in patients with intermittent claudication. Measurement of the immediate hyperaemic response to a three-minute period of arterial occlusion proved to be very reproducible in patients with occlusive arterial disease of the legs.
