Developing a Device for Automated Peritoneal Dialysis

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an efficient alternative for hemodialysis. Removal of waste metabolites and excess water from the blood circulation are the two main tasks done during dialysis. These are done by using a filter; in PD, the naturally semi-permeable peritoneal membrane acts as the filter. Automated PD machines control intelligently the operations to enhance the efficiency a...

Two-dimensional lubrication analysis and design optimization of a Scotch Yoke engine linear bearing

Recent study has shown that the application of a Scotch Yoke crank mechanism to a reciprocating internal combustion engine reduces the engine’s size and weight and generates sinusoidal piston motion that allows for complete balance of the engine. This paper describes detailed investigation of the performance of a linear bearing assembly, which is one of the key components of the Scotch Yoke mec...

An automated CPR device compared with standard chest compressions for out-of-hospital resuscitation

BACKGROUND Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation and increased coronary perfusion pressures have been linked to improved survival from cardiac arrest. This study aimed to compare the rates of survival between conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (C-CPR) and automated CPR (A-CPR) using AutoPulse™ in adults following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS This was a retrospectiv...
