PG Katona Cleveland Clinic journal of mdedge-files-live.s3.us-east-2 ABSTRACT New reports have emerged exploring the use of electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves in patients for the treatment of depression, heart failure, and hypertension. Abolishing renal sympathetic nerve activity in resistant hypertension has also been
Teaching ethical issues in biomedical engineering
free download
In many places throughout the world, Biomedical Engineering (BME) still awaits formal recognition as a profession. Its intrinsically multi and interdisciplinary characteristics partly account for that delay. This is aggravated by the lack of precise ethical rules that delineate
Challenge-based learning in biomedical engineering : A legacy cycle for biotechnology
free download
The benefits of a challenge-based environment are recognized by experts in learning science but are infrequently translated to practice in engineering courses. Although individual instructor styles occasionally offer challenge-based instruction, rare is the

This paper presents some preliminary data on two aspects of the use of the respiratory system in speech. The experiments to be reported use improved emg techniques to replicate some of the research conducted at Edinburgh University in the 1950s. The major papers
Open source biomedical engineering for sustainability in African healthcare: Combining academic excellence with innovation
free download
Accessible quality healthcare is one of the biggest problems in Africa and other developing countries. This is not only due to the unavailability of resources, but also to the absence of a structured formative process for the design and management of healthcare facilities Biomedical engineering (BME) has been defined as a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering , biology and medicine and improves human health. It can be said to have originated some thousands of years ago in its rudimentary levels. However, it started
