Bifidogenic Growth Stimulator: A Non-Toxic Way To Treat Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Although the causes of UC remain incompletely understood, many experimental and clinical observations have suggested involvement of intestinal microflora in its pathogenesis//. In genetically susceptible individuals, tissue damage can result from failure of normal regulatory constraints on the...Nerve Stimulator for Depression Though Not Effective Was Given Approval
A pacemaker-like device which has to be surgically implanted called the vagus nerve stimulator was approved by a top federal medical official against the opinion of his scientific staff . // This device is used in the treatment of persistent depression. As it was no approved by the staff due to its ineffectiveness in its only clinical trial, it was rejected. Cyberonics Inc is the maker...Electronic Nerve Stimulator Enables Walking
Sooner or later, it seems, most everything imagined in science fiction comes true. // From flying in space to talking on a telephone without wires, today's science increasingly resembles yesterday's fiction. And that's becoming more and more true in medicine. For those of us at the AAAS meeting, nothing was more impressive than the demonstration given by Jennifer French. She's not a...D185 MultiPulse Cortical Stimulator
Description:The D185 is the only stimulator with FDA clearance for this application. The D185 allows transcranial motor evoked potentials to be used in surgical procedures such as scoliosis correction, spinal tumor resection and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair....S88 DUAL OUTPUT SQUARE PULSE STIMULATOR
Description:The S88 is a dual output, general purpose stimulator for nerve and muscle stimulation procedures. Applications extend from single cell to entire muscle stimulation. The two output channels can be operated independently or synchronized to produce complex paradigms. The outputs are non-isolated constant voltage positive pulses. New features include computer compatibility and flexibility of synchron...High Speed Magnetic Stimulator (HSMS)
Description:Magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive and painless method of stimulating the peripheral and central nervous system. Cadwell Laboratories manufactures two magnetic stimulation devices, the MES-10 and the High Speed Magnetic Stimulator (HSMS). The Hight Speed MES-10 magnetic stimulator is capable of stimulation rates up to 25 Hz at full power. Several coil configurations are available for each sti...
