Review A Guide to Patient Care Technology: A Review of Medical Equipment / Informa Healthcare:A wide variety of technological devices are used in the course of treating patients in clinical settings. This variety is increasing and individual devices are becoming more complex. A Guide to Patient Care Technology: A Review of Medical Equipment examines the range of patient care technology commonly encountered in hospitals and clinics, gives a clear and concise description of the principle of operation of each device, and outlines its use. The book is divided into sections corresponding to various areas of a hospital. Each section contains descriptions of equipment found primarily in that area. A special section covers those devices found throughout the hospital. After the description of each device, there are three short lists: other names by which the device might be known; equipment used with or related to the device; and the locations where the device is most likely to be found. Photographs illustrate the devices in the field giving you a feel for their appearance while in use. Knowing how a particular medical device works allows you to get the most effective use out of your equipment, understand the applications, and helps avoid costly and unnecessary problems from increasingly sophisticated and complex electronic equipment. Often, the user manual is unavailable or has gone missing. [+]A Guide to Patient Care Technology: A Review of Medical Equipment provides easy-to-understand descriptions of the extensive range of devices in current medical use in a portable, easy-to-use format.

Review Design of Medical Electronic Devices / Academic Press:The design of medical electronics is unique because of the background needed by the engineers and scientists involved. Often the designer is a medical or life science professional without any training in electronics or design. Likewise, few engineers are specifically trained in biomedical engineering and have little or no exposure to the specific medical requirements of these devices. Design of Medical Electronic Devices presents all essential topics necessary for basic and advanced design. All aspects of the electronics of medical devices are also covered. This is an essential book for graduate students as well as professionals involved in the design of medical equipment. Covers every stage of the process, from design to manufacturing to implementation Topics covered include analogue/digital conversions, data acquisition, signal processing, optics, and reliability and failure.

Review Progress in Convergence: Technologies for Human Wellbeing (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) / Wiley-Blackwell:Continued economic growth, human welfare, and national security depend upon constant technological progress; and the chief area for innovation in the coming years will be converging technologies, the synergistic combination of the "NBIC" fields: nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and new technologies based in cognitive science. The significance of convergence was initially recognized in the first National Science Foundation conference on the societal implications of nanotechnology in 2000, which reported that the newly developed ability to measure, manipulate, and organize matter on the nanoscale was revolutionizing science and technology. This volume will mark a major step forward, for three reasons: (1) Enough is understood about convergence now to permit serious consideration of governance issues and the likely human consequences. (2) Among the many convergence-related research projects, several in diverse areas have begun to deliver real results. (3) The network of NBIC researchers and analysts has developed to the point of being a real scientific and engineering community. One cross-cutting theme will be the ethical, legal, and social consequences of technological convergence. Another is the hunt for areas of remarkable research opportunities and the transforming tools required to take maximum advantage of them. Convergence will bring new approaches to what are currently diverse areas of research, such as converging technology platforms, physical and mental performance, human-machine interfaces, human cognition and communication, education and training, work efficiency, and many others. On their own, each of the NBIC technologies offers the potential for extraordinary advancement, but combined their potential is enormous and may provide revolutionary progress in human longevity, quality of life, learning, and productivity.

Review Troubleshooting LC Systems: A Comprehensive Approach to Troubleshooting LC Equipment and Separations / Humana Press:Major advances in instrumentation and technology have made high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) a pervasive tool in virtually all areas of chemical and biomedical research today. Despite HPLC's enormous growth, technical problems still bedevil most users at least occasionally. Based on their immensely successful short courses, Dolan and Snyder's landmark new book -Troubleshooting LC Systems-now makes available to every practicing chromatographer the authors' wealth of expertise from years of hands-on troubleshooting of real-world LC problems-problems that routinely cause crises and unproductive downtime in nearly every lab. Believing that successful troubleshooting requires an understanding of the basics, Dolan and Snyder open by setting forth all the fundamental principles of LC operation, then move on to a microscopic description of all the elements of LC devices, to lay out their optimal preventive maintenance routines, and ultimately to offer an unprecedentedly thorough treatment of each and every facet of troubleshooting. Displaying a special tutorial mastery-honed to a fineness during their ongoing teaching and consulting activities, and a well-received feature column in LC Magazine-the book's chapters cover: automation and robotics • approaches to troubleshooting • reactions of samples • basic separation techniques • valves, tubing, syringes • band broadening and tailing • preventive maintenance • column packing and flushing • individual LC modules • troubleshooting principles • reagents and buffering • specific problems in separation • ghost and vacancy peaks • quantitation and calibration • pumps, seals, and pistons • gradient elution problems • column composition • concentration and blockages • sample cleanup • temperature and mixing effects • detectors and recorders • column packing and flushing. In short, Dolan and Snyder's eminently practical new guide to Troubleshooting LC Systems is an essential laboratory handbook-one that empowers expert and novice chromatographer alike to solve every sort of practical laboratory problem on a day-to-day basis. No one using an LC system should be without it!.
