Fecal incontinence, the inability to control the release of flatus or stool, is a ubiquitous clinical problem. In addition to its clinical sequel, studies have shown that cost of care for fecal incontinent patients is prohibitively high due to increased risk of hospital acquired infections and prolonged length of stay.... .
Intravenous access is a stand procedure to administer fluids and medications in all patients. However this procedure fails in 33% of patients coming to emergency because they present with low blood volumes and collapsed veins which are difficult to locate. In such patients, the second best possible access to the circulatory system of the body can be established through the intraosseous cavity of long bones....
In any trauma case particularly road traffic accidents, the most common are extremity injuries, fractures, dislocation, sprain, strain or contusions resulting from either blunt, penetrating or crush type of injuries. Of 12 million cases of RTAs every year, over 60% have limb injuries. To cater to these patients the pre-hospital care infrastructure is not well developed in India....
A multitask gadget controlled by eye movements and voluntary eye blink has been developed for disabled, especially for spinal injury disorder individuals. Electrooculogram (EOG) signals generated by horizontal, vertical, diagonal eye movements and blinks were measured using a pair of surface electrodes with respect to a reference electrode placed on forehead. After preprocessing, the acquired signals were amplified with AC-coupling in order to reduce unnecessary drifts. ...
Centre was established in 1971 as a Joint venture of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi . The Centre has applied engineering principles to address medical and biological problems. Over the years the Centre has become premier center in the country.
Centre has provided interdisciplinary base to develop health care technologies. Over the last two decades the focus has shifted to include biological medicine, behavior or molecular health and develop innovative biologic, materials, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and injury mechanics. Innovations in instrumentation, drug delivery, tissue engineering and biosensors have been internationally recognized.
