New Method for Locomotor Activity Measures in Instrumented Animals with Implant Based on Inductive Coupling

چکیده
− This paper presents a new method for locomotor activity (LA) measurement in small laboratory animals. A method was developed in order to add LA measurement capability in biotelemetry systems in which implant powering and communication is based on inductive coupling. That enhacement is done without the need of additional resources in the implanted side. After discussing the mathematical formulation, an example is presented for which are obtained the most adequate parameters for LA measurement in a typical system of biotelemetry in small rodents. Limitations and advantages of the method conceived also are discussed.

Treatment of an Insertional High Grade Partial Patellar Tendon Tear Utilizing a Bio-Inductive Implant
The management of recalcitrant patellar tendinopathies in the athletic population can be vexing to both the surgeonand patient. To date the majority of treatments for this disease pathology are non-surgical in nature. When surgicalintervention is required, open debridement and/or tendon take-down with repair has been necessary. We proposea novel technique for the treatment of insertional patell...

Introduction: Astrocyte dysfunction is the common pathology resulting in failure of astrocyte-neuron interaction in neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s Disease (PD). To date, only few experimental models of selective ablation of astrocytes are known. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of striatal injections of selective glial toxin L-aminoadipic acid (L-AA) on the loco...

Epilepsy is a chronic cerebral disorder associated with recurrently occurring seizures resulting from over activity of brain neurons. Since more than one percent of the world's population is suffering from epilepsy, this disease is recognized as one of the most important neurological disorders in modern medicine. Studies indicate that impairment in balance and motor activity are known as one of...

Wireless power transmission is a technique that converts energy from radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic (EM) waves into DC voltage, which has been used here for the purpose of providing a power supply to bio–implantable batteryless sensors. The main constraints of the design are to achieve the minimum power required by the application, by still keeping the implant size small enough for the li...
