Measurement of Eardrum Acoustic Impedance
In this paper we describe a system which we have developed to measure cat ear canal specific acoustic impedance Zsp, magnitude and phase, as a function of frequency, for frequencies between 200 Hz and 33 kHz, and impedance magnitude between 4.0 to 4.0×105 [Rayles] (MKS). The object to be measured is placed at the end of a 3.5 mm diameter sound delivery tube. After a simple calibration procedure...
متن کاملAn Eigenvalue Based Acoustic Impedance Measurement Technique
A method is developed for measuring acoustic impedance. The method employs a one-dimensional tube or duct with excitation at one end and an unknown acoustic impedance at the termination end. Microphones placed in the tube are then employed to measure the frequency response of the system from which acoustic impedance of the end is calculated. This method uses fixed instrumentation and takes adva...
متن کاملImpedance plethysmography. A screening procedure to detect deep-vein thrombosis.
Impedance plethysmography has great potential in the non-invasive detection of dangerous iliofemoral thrombosis. It was used to examine 198 patients undergoing total hip replacement for evidence of proximal venous segment thrombosis. There were 13 abnormal results, and subsequent venography in 12 of these revealed a false-positive rate of 4.0%; there was one false-negative result giving a sensi...
متن کاملManaging dental caries in children in Turkey - a discussion paper
BACKGROUND This paper describes the oral healthcare system and disease situation amongst children in Turkey. Considering the high prevalence and severity of dental caries, a proposal for improvement of oral health in this population group is formulated. DISCUSSION A virtual absence of palliative, preventive and restorative care characterises juvenile oral healthcare in Turkey. Consequently, c...
متن کاملDiscussion Paper Physical Inactivity in Children and Adolescents
1.0 INTRODUCTION This discussion paper outlines the concerns of the Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine (CASM) regarding the alarming increase in sedentary activity and the declining fitness of children in Canada. Other developed countries are also facing this trend. The objective of this discussion paper is to raise the awareness of health professionals, particularly physicians, about the decre...
