Vascular Glucose Sensor Symposium

A fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions

In this paper, the set-up of a multi-mode fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions is investigated and evaluated. The basis of this sensor is based on the Fresnel Reflection. In this setup, a helium-neon laser is used as a light source, a fiber optic probe, photocell as detector and a digital multimeter. The statistical analysis of the recorded data shows a highly linear be...

Atherosclerotic Peripheral Vascular Disease Symposium II: nomenclature for vascular diseases.

Peripheral vascular diseases are important components of cardiovascular medicine. The high prevalence of these disorders in the clinical setting mandates effective communication among healthcare providers. The public health significance of these conditions requires clear and consistent terminology for community audiences. Therefore, the goal of this writing group was to suggest definitions, usa...

Symposium for Smooth Muscle and Vascular Endothelium.

Editorial: symposium on algorithms for continuous glucose monitoring and control.

1 S YSTEMS AND CONTROL THEORY is the basis for algorithms embedded in many of the products (both high and low " tech ") that we use in our daily lives. While consumers appreciate the relative compactness of CD and DVD players and microdrives, for example, and value the manufacturing technology involved in minia-turization, they probably do not think much about the mathematical algorithms that e...

Glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase immobilized by zirconium phosphate.

Amperometric glucose sensors were fabricated using glucose oxidase (GOx) entrapped in zirconium hydrogenphosphate (ZrP), and their performance was evaluated. Reportedly, alpha-ZrP is one of the candidates that are expected to improve the stability of enzymes immobilized on solid surfaces. We intercalated GOxs into ZrP (GOx/ZrP), cast the GOx/ZrP suspension in polyvinylalcohol on a platinum elec...
