a thin film of epinephrine (ep) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrode previously activated in nahco3 solution. the cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode indicate that the surface confined ep are strongly dependent on the solution ph, as expected for quinone/hydroquinone functionalities. the ep-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited catalytic acti...

BACKGROUND Analysis of trace proteins plays an essential role in the fields of biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. Development of methods for the detection of proteins at very low concentrations has historically been a challenge in immunochemistry. We have developed an electrical immunosensor for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). METHODS The electrical immunosensor use...

The increasing number of applications of electrical bioimpedance measurements in biomedical practice, together with continuous advances in textile technology, has encouraged several researchers to make the first attempts to develop portable, even wearable, electrical bioimpedance measurement systems. The main target of these systems is personal and home monitoring. Analog Devices has made avail...

we used an effective electrochemical sensor for the determination of imipramine at ph 7.2 using a carbon nanocomposite electrode. the electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclay into the carbon ionic liquid electrode. the high sensitivity of 1.714 μa (μm)-1, two linear calibration ranges of 0.1–2 μm and 2-40 μm, and detection limit of 19 nm were achieved. the relati...

laser-tissue interaction is of great interest due to its significant application in biomedical optics in both diagnostic and treatment purposes. major aspects of the laser-tissue interaction which has to be considered in biomedical studies are the thermal properties of the tissue and the thermal changes caused by the interaction of light and tissue. in this review paper the effects of light on ...

Electrode materials for recording biomedical signals, such as electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials data, are expected to be soft, hydrophilic and electroconductive to minimize the stress imposed on living tissue, especially during long-term monitoring. We have developed and characterized string-shaped electrodes made from conductive polymer with silk fib...

AbstractThis paper validates and exams the improvements of the system for obtaining velocity spectral information from electroneurogram (ENG) recordings using multi-electrode cuffs (MECs). The present study adopts a fundamentally nonlinear velocity classification approach based on a type of artificial neural network (ANN). The new method can operate in real-time, is shown to be robust in the pr...

A good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance characterize CoCrMo alloys. Therefore they are widely used for artificial joints in biomedical implants. However, the degradation of the implants during service life leads to the release into the body of toxic ions and wear particles. This continuous degradation is of concern for long-term stability of the im...
