Shock waves, high-energy sound or pressure waves (like thunder following lightening or a small, focused explosion), have little to do with electric shock. Shock waves can be generated in many ways, but electrohydraulic devices have the greatest capacity to produce and project high energy to a deep focal depth. ESWT can be highly focused and can achieve a focal point beyond 10 cm into deeper tis...

Traditionally, blood pressure has been measured by the sphygmomanometer in the medical office. There is growing evidence, however, that office blood pressures may not be typical of values throughout the day. Between 20% and 30% of patients diagnosed with hypertension in the office actually are normotensive at other times. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with small, portable devices that au...

in this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. using mri images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. csf velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., icp, which has a...

We studied on the feasibility of focused ultrasound for tactile feeling display. Our experiments showed that focused ultrasound at 1 MHz and 5 MHz effected our somatic sensation both by its radiation pressure and by direct stimulation to the nerve structures. The radiation pressure force generated by our apparatus was 0.23 gf/cm per 1-watt power consumption and evoked tactile feeling stably, wh...

To evaluate the metatarsal head that was associated with highest plantar pressure after resection (MHR) and relations reulceration at one year, a prospective conducted total of sixty-five patients diabetes who suffered from first MHR an inactive ulcer moment inclusion. Peak time integral were recorded five specific locations in forefoot: first, second, third, fourth, fifth heads. The value four...

conclusions four major dietary patterns were identified in the present studied population that can be used to provide tangible dietary advice for the elderly. results four major dietary patterns were identified in the studied population: 1) healthy pattern, characterized by a higher intake of vegetables, tomato and tomato sauce, vegetable oil, olive, and fruits; 2) unhealthy pattern, characteri...

This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of a user-verification system for a smart gun, which is based on grip-pattern recognition. An existing pressure sensor consisting of an array of 44× 44 piezoresistive elements is used to measure the grip pattern. An interface has been developed to acquire pressure images from the sensor. The values of the pixels in the pressure-patt...
