CATH LAB & ANGIOGRAPHY 2007-06-25 02:42:00 CATH LABA catheterization laboratory or cath lab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment to support the catheterization procedure. A catheter is inserted into a large artery, and various wires and devices can be inserted through the body via the ateries. The artery most used is in the femoral artery.ANGIOGRAPHYAngiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique in which an X-ray picture is taken to visualize the inner opening of blood filled structures, including arteries, veins and the heart chambers. Its name comes from the Greek words angeion, "vessel", and graphien, "to write or record". The X-ray film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiograph, or more commonly, an angiogram.CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHYCerebral angiography or arteriography is a form of medical imaging that visualizes the arterial and venous supply of the brain.CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHYA coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary

Well illustrated with clear diagrams and colour images, it will prove especially useful for students on problem-based learning courses who are in need of a concise and user-friendly book, and will also serve as a refresher for those doing exams.CONTENTS1.Cellular structu
PHYSIOLOGY & ANATOMY FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERS 2007-06-23 19:40:00 1.)A Biomedical Engineer must have a knowledge of the structure of the living body (Anatomy) and its function (Physiology) , so that it is essential for understanding the human system and the funtctioning of most of biomedical instruments.2.)Since Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field based in both engineering and life sciences, it is important for biomedical engineers to have knowledge about and be able to communicate in both areas. Biomedical engineers must understand the basic components of the body and how they function well enough to exchange ideas and information with physicians and life scientists. Two of the most basic terms and areas of study in the life sciences are ANATOMY

ANGIOPLASTY 2007-06-25 22:12:00 ANGIOPLASTY Angioplasty is the mechanical widening of a narrowed or totally-obstructed blood vessel. These obstructions are often caused by atherosclerosis.Coronary angioplasty1.)Coronary angioplasty is a "percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty". The procedure was quickly adopted by numerous cardiologists and many leading medical centers throughout the world were adopting the procedure as a method to avoid bypass surgery.2.)A small mesh tube, or "stent", is introduced into the blood vessel or artery to prop it open using percutaneous methods. Angioplasty with stenting is a viable alternative to heart surgery.It has consistently been shown to reduce symptoms due to coronary artery disease and to reduce cardiac ischemia, but has not been shown in large trials to reduce mortality due to coronary artery disease, except in patients being treated for a heart attack acutely (also called primary angioplasty). There is a small but definite reduction of mortality with this form of treatm

BIOMECHANICS & SPORT BIOMECHANICS 2007-06-29 12:56:00 BIOMECHANICSBiomechanics is a diverse interdisciplinary field, with branches in Zoology, Botany, Physical Anthropology, Orthopedics, Bioengineering and Human Performance. The general role of Biomechanics is to understand the mechanical cause-effect relationships that determine the motions of living organisms. In relation to sport, Biomechanics contributes to the description, explanation, and prediction of the mechanical aspects of human exercise, sport and play.SPORT BIOMECHANICSSport Biomechanics is the sport science field that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance, in order to gain a greater understanding of performance in athletic events through modeling, simulation and measurement. It is also necessary to have a good understanding of the application of physics to sport, as physical principles such as motion, resistance, momentum and friction play a part in most sporting events.

ANTHROPOMETRY 2007-07-04 10:44:00 Anthropometry is the scientific study of the measurements of the human body. It refers to the measurement of living human individuals for the purposes of understanding human physical variation.Anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design, clothing design, ergonomics, and architecture, where statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. Changes in life styles, nutrition and ethnic composition of populations lead to changes in the distribution of body dimensions (example, the obesity epidemic), and require regular updating of anthropometric data collections.

Soft Tissue Biomechanics 2007-07-03 14:06:00 Soft tissues such as tendon, ligament and cartilage are combinations of matrix proteins and fluid. In each of these tissues the main strength bearing element is collagen, although the amount and type of collagen varies according to the function each tissue must perform. Elastin is also a major load-bearing constituent within skin, the vasculature, and connective tissues. The function of tendons is to connect muscle with bone and is subjected to tensile loads. Tendons must be strong to facilitate movement of the body while at the same time remaining compliant to prevent damage to the muscle tissues. Ligaments connect bone to bone and therefore are stiffer than tendons but are relatively close in their tensile strength. Cartilage, on the other hand, is primarily loaded in compression and acts as a cushion in the joints to distribute loads between bones. The compressive strength of collagen is derived mainly from collagen as in tendons and ligaments, however because collagen is comparable
Muscle Biomechanics 2007-07-03 14:02:00 There are three main types of muscles:1.)Skeletal muscle (striated): Unlike cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle can develop a sustained condition known as tetany through high frequency stimulation, resulting in overlapping twitches and a phenomenon known as wave summation. At a sufficiently high frequency, tetany occurs, and the contracticle force appears constant through time. This allows skeletal muscle to develop a wide variety of forces. This muscle type can be voluntary controlled. Hill's Model is the most popular model used to study muscle.2.)Cardiac muscle (striated): Cardiomyocytes are a highly specialized cell type. These involuntarily contracted cells are located in the heart wall and operate in concert to develop synchronized beats. This is attributable to a refractory period between twitches.3.)Smooth muscle (smooth - lacking striations): The stomach, vasculature, and most of the digestive tract are largely composed of smooth muscle. This muscle type is involuntary and is cont
Bones Biomechanics 2007-07-03 14:00:00 Bones are anisotropic but are approximately transversely isotropic. In other words, bones are stronger along one axis than across that axis, and are approximately the same strength no matter how they are rotated around that axis.The stress-strain relations of bones can be modeled using Hooke's law, in which they are related by elastic moduli, e.g. Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio or the Lamé parameters. The constitutive matrix, a fourth order tensor, depends on the isotropy of the bone.σij = CijklεklHOOKE's LAWHooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the amount by which a material body is deformed (the strain) is linearly related to the force causing the deformation (the stress).

Circulation Biomechanics 2007-07-03 13:56:00 Blood flow can be modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations. Whole blood can often be assumed to be an incompressible Newtonian fluid. However, this assumption fails when considering flows within arterioles. At this scale, the effects of individual red blood cells becomes significant, and whole blood can no longer be modeled as a continuum. When the diameter of the blood vessel is slightly larger than the diameter of the red blood cell the Fahraeus–Lindqvist effect occurs and there is a decrease in wall shear stress. However, as the diameter of the blood vessel decreases further, the red blood cells have to squeeze through the vessel and often can only pass in single file. In this case, the inverse Fahraeus–Lindqvist effect occurs and the wall shear stress increases.Navier-Stokes equationsThe Navier-Stokes equations, describe the motion of fluid substances such as liquids and gases. These equations establish that changes in momentum in infinitesimal volumes of fluid are simply the sum
