SYRINGE PUMP

  Syringe pump Syringe pump is a medical device used to deliver very small amount of drugs or other medicinal fluids and gradually transfer precise volumes of fluid to the patient. The stepper motor turns in the opposite direction, then the pusher block moves and the syringe plunger is pulled, thus the fluid draws into the syringe.  Functions of syringe pump Syringe pump is derived from the actual application of infusion pump. Both are same, but gradually differ from holding the syringe. Syringe pump can accommodate with multiple syringes. It can operate at very small volumetric flows ( micro and nano). It provides very high accuracy and no pulse flow. The fact of the syringe pump lies in that the user can effortlessly adjust the working range of the device by altering the position of the syringe. Generally, in the syringe pump smaller syringe allows better control at lower flow rates and they are smaller in dispensable volumes. Otherwise, a larger size syringe allows control...

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY

  HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY The study of functioning of organs and organ systems is called human physiology. It is the science of studying human mechanical, physical and biochemical functions, and is the basis of modern medicine. As a discipline, it connects science, medicine, and health, and creates a framework to understand how the human body adapts to stress, physical activity, and disease. The term human physiology is derived from the Greek word (physics=nature ; logia=study).  The human physiology Various types of evolutionary organs and their well-coordinated functions make the phenomena of life possible. The heart’s role as an emotion-controlled pumping organ is surprising. The oxygen binding and dissociation ability of blood pigments, the cascading effect of a very small amount of hormones at the molecular boundary, the nerve conduction process, the brain’s analytical and memory capabilities, and the general visual perception of the eyes are all natural processes towards the si...

INFERTILITY

        INFERTILITY Infertility is the state of not able to get pregnant after at least one year of intercourse.  Even though a woman who can get pregnant but if she has repeated miscarriages is also said to be infertile.  In only One-third of infertility cases is due to female factors.  In another one-third of infertility cases is due to male factors.  The remaining infertility cases are caused by unknown factors or a mixture of male and feminine factors.   Causes of male infertility   The two main factors that cause male infertility are Impaired production or function of sperm Impaired delivery of sperm Impaired production/impaired function of sperm Impaired shape of sperm.  STD infections.  Impaired movement of sperm.  Low sperm concentration.  Oligospermia is the term used when there is less number of sperms in the ejaculate of the male or less than 20 million sperm per milliliter.  Azoospermia is that t...

ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE

  ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE  Now a days the practice of medicine is dependent upon technology i.e, clinicians using varieties of technology in diagnosing, treating and assessing the care to the patients. Recently, the developments in medical devices & equipment , information technology and biotechnology are playing an vital role in diagnosis and treatment of various healthcare issues. Technologies like advanced monitoring systems , comfortable scanning equipment and non-invasive surgeries are helping the patients to spend less time in the hospitals. Integration of telehealth and medical equipment technology eliminates the stress of health-related travel . Stunning images of vital organs are produced by CT, MRI and ultra sound machines. Tumors are destroyed by teletherapy machines using invisible rays. cochlear implant may restore hearing for deaf.
