One of the world’s most dreaded diseases is diabetes. Diabetes occurs when the patient’s body no longer produces enough insulin or when the person can not properly use the hormone that the breakdown of glucose. Thus, glucose accumulates in the blood, therefore, that the damage caused by the pancreas and other serious health problems. Not only the disease requires medical attention and care, also requires the patient to assign a lot of money to buy the appropriate drugs to combat various complications.

This is the main reason why it is a good measure to control glucose levels. Your doctor will really know what drugs to prescribe to alleviate the complications of the disease. If you have not yet contracted the disease, monitoring glucose levels in the blood serves as an effective preventive measure.

Here are some tips on the use of a monitor of blood glucose. Read the rest of this entry »

Two years ago, a researcher at Baylor University developed an accurate and effective electromagnetic sensor that provides non-diabetic one alternative invasive to measure their glucose levels. There was only one problem: it was too big to upload.

Today, researchers at Baylor announced that they have developed a sensory method that uses a circuit board small enough so that the device is portable.

A new device could facilitate greatly the lives of diabetic patients will be treated the DIAdvisor Blood Glucose Predictor, a laptop that will work wirelessly and let you know in a few minutes, how much glucose is in the blood and therefore know how much insulin is required to eat at a given time.

This device would still be in the process of creation, a project that not only has the support of the European Community but also with 7.1 million directly financed by the Community institution.

The oximeters are devices that measure oxygen in blood and tissues in a simple and noninvasive, so are ideal for medical use and for educational experiences on physiology in vivo. It is scientifically proven medical devices that measure the oxygen concentration through infrared sensors and calculate the degree of saturation of this gas in blood. As detected electromagnetic radiation absorption by hemoglobin is necessary to remove the paint with acetone on the nail for a correct reading of oxygen saturation values.

By developing the technology of ultrasound, microwave, laser and infrared light has succeeded in developing a wide range of medical devices that act through electromagnetic waves, sonic or physical. Most important is that these devices are available to any user, and you can get a good home oximeter for a small investment of 100 or 200, although some houses have as Quirumed cheaper models by just over 60 euros plus shipping shipment. In hospitals are classified as having a fixed oximeter plethysmographic curve but for private use or educational enough portable pulse oximeter, hand or finger. Nonin is one of the brands that specialize in pulse, you indicate both the oxygen values as the number of heartbeats per minute.

European scientists are developing a portable device that will allow custom known diabetes, in minutes, the amount of glucose in your blood. The device will improve self-management of the disease and prevent damage by impairment of control. The device consists of sensors that will be attached to the body to detect a number of parameters like blood glucose or blood pressure.

With these data, patients may tune in the administration of doses, avoiding physiological complications arising from an excess of insulin. In four years it is expected that the technology is available on the market. Scientists say it is very necessary because diabetes is increasingly present in our society as a result of lifestyle we lead. For Yaiza Martínez.

The incorporation of an algorithm to detect atrial fibrillation, a blood pressure monitor at home could be a reliable method of screening for this arrhythmia.

Stergiou of Sotiria Hospital of Athens (Greece) and colleagues assessed the automatic device in 73 people: 27 with atrial fibrillation, 23 with arrhythmia other than atrial fibrillation and 23 reference persons in sinus rhythm.

In addition to being used to measure blood pressure, blood pressure could help limit the damage caused by a heart attack, researchers reveal.

In a study of 250 Danish adults stricken by a heart attack, Canadian researchers used a tensiometer to intermittently block the blood flow to an arm, an intervention that is started when the patient is transported to hospital by ambulance.

The airline Etihad will install systems for medical check-up on board its aircraft. These devices can transmit information to earth medical teams.

The system check-ups Mobile Tempus IC is able to tell the crew instructions on its use through its color screen.

The Tempus IC is able to perform basic medical tests such as blood pressure, pulse and an electrocardiogram.

Thanks to digital blood pressure monitors has become very comfortable. Even medical layman, it is possible to determine with the help of modern equipment blood pressure. Particular advantages of presenting digital blood pressure monitors for the wrist. The measurement result is in very short time. Since the corresponding cuff at the wrist and is not created on the upper arm, it is not even necessary to take off the blood pressure sweater or other clothing.
