The 3rd annual Sensors in Medicine Conference took place in London in March 2015. This presentation provides an overview of the Conference, which has the objective of bringing together thought leaders from academic clinical and commercial worlds to discuss the application of sensors in mediicne and healthcare
This is a preview of the Sensors in the Environment Conference which will be held in London on 15-16 October 2014. With a theme of he Environment and Human Health, the conference brings together leading academic researchers and industry executives to review the imapct of sensors in evenviromental monitoring
It was a review project that is typically more focused on mechanical parts and microfabrication technologies made suitable for biological applications.
The interdisciplinary nature of bio-MEMS combines material sciences, clinical sciences, medicine, surgery, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, optical engineering, chemical engineering and biomedical engineering.
Some of its major applications include genomics, proteomics, molecular diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, tissue engineering and implantable microdevices. MEMS techniques were originally developed in the microelectronics industry.
MEMS are a class of miniature devices and systems fabricated by micromachining processes. MEMS devices have critical dimensions in the range of 100nm to 1000um (or 1mm).
MEMS technology is a precursor to the relatively more popular field of Nanotechnology, which refers to science, engineering and technology below 100nm down to the atomic scale.
Occasionally, MEMS devices with dimensions in the millimetre-range are referred to as meso-scale MEMS devices. as drug delivery systems improve, the components of the systems continue to decrease in size.
Currently, most drug delivery systems are based upon devices and drug carrier elements that are on a micro-scale. Many of the future and developing technologies are based on the nano-scale.
Disinfecting Mobile Devices for use in Healthcare SettingsPhilip Gulan
The use of mobile technology is expected to have a profound impact on how care is delivered, the quality of patient experience and the cost of healthcare in general. Therefore, the quantity of mobile devices being used in healthcare environments is expanding significantly every year. Use of smartphones and tablets in the healthcare settings is rapidly expanding and contributing to improved healthcare and reduced costs around the globe. But this introduction of new technology into clinically sensitive areas creates the risk of passing along bacterial contamination throughout a hospital.
The present study was aimed to design a simple model to test efficacy of germicidal Ultraviolet light (UV-C) used inside ChargeMax as a charging cabinet designed for smartphones and tablets and made by Cetrix Technologies.

Mobile phones and cancers: What is the evidence? - Prof Mike RepacholiThe Radiation Doctor
This is the ultimate research study which will demystify all the myths related to cellphones & cell-tower radiation! This piece presented by Prof Mike Repacholi, Former Co-ordinator, Radiation and Environmental Health
World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland. He has presented all the relevant facts about relation of cancer & other health hazards with radiation.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of micro-fluidics are improving. Miro-fluidic devices have small micro-channels that analyze many types of fluidics. They can be fabricated from many materials including paper, textiles, and plastics. Plastics are the most recent to emerge and their fabrication relies on many of the same techniques that are used to fabricate integrated circuits. This means that they have been experiencing very rapid improvements as fabrication techniques are improved for ICs and then used to make micro-fluidic MEMS. (micro-mechanical electrical systems). Micro-fluidics are widely used in health care to analyze bacteria in water, glucose in sweat, nitrate contamination in water, and the blood of mosquitoes. Emerging applications include analysis of blood for early cancer detection.
Assuming the nanorobot is ’ nt tethered or designed to float passively through the bloodstream , it will need a means of propulsion to get around the body.
Because it may have to travel against the flow of blood , the propulsion system has to be relatively strong for its size.
Another important consideration is the safety of the patient , the system must be able to move the nanorobot around without causing damaging to the host.
Development of biomedical technologies is an urgent necessity to improve diagnostic services.
Electronic pill technology is a more recent development.

Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
