Closed-loop On-demand Drug Delivery Micropump for Chronic Pain Management Applications

چکیده

We present a low power (0.66-51.31mW) electrochemical micropump capable of accurate delivery of a diverse assortment of liquid drug formulations within a wide dynamic range of flow rates (0.33 141.9μL/min) suitable for chronic pain management applications. This system rapidly responds to changes in regimen (<1sec) for on-demand control and has an electrochemically based dose tracking system that is capable of real-time tracking and confirmation of delivery. Tracking of bolus delivery down to 83nL (0.004% of reservoir) was achieved. On demand delivery and dose tracking of Lidocaine HCl hydrate (20mg/mL dissolved in PBS) was demonstrated.

Development of closed-loop supply chain mathematical model (cost-benefit-environmental effects) under uncertainty conditions by approach of genetic algorithm

In the current world, the debate on the reinstatement and reuse of consumer prod-ucts has become particularly important. Since the supply chain of the closed loop is not only a forward flow but also a reverse one; therefore, companies creating integ-rity between direct and reverse supply chain are successful. The purpose of this study is to develop a new mathematical model for closed loop suppl...
