Principles of Applied Biomedical Instrumentation

cillin in the treatment of acute pelvic inflammatory disease seems unwarranted in view of the toxic manifestations of this drug. It would be far better to reserve its use for refractory infections. Despite five chapters devoted to habitual abortion no coverage is given to the subject of infection as an etiologic agent. Listeria and more recently mycoplasma have been incriminated in abortion. Th...

Flow cytometry: principles and instrumentation.

The standard benchtop flow cytometer is very similar to a hematology cell counter. In fact, flow cytometers can trace their origins back to the early hematology counters. Unlike their earlier counterparts that used electronic impedance to measure particles in a fluid stream, today’s modern flow cytometers use an illuminating light source usually consisting of a laser or arc lamp. The majority o...

Biomechanical modeling of posterior instrumentation of the scoliotic spine.

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformation of the spine that can be treated by vertebral fusion using surgical instrumentation. However, the optimal configuration of instrumentation remains controversial. Simulating the surgical maneuvers with personalized biomechanical models may provide an analytical tool to determine instrumentation configuration during the pre-operative planning. Finite e...
