Electronic Instrumentation and Saftey: Education for Medical Technlogies

Tha pi_;rpose of this invostigation was to determine: (1) the P 033ible need for a n. electronic instrm:1antation and safety course designed for medical technologists, (2) the type of medical electronics program practicing medical technologists would like to see implemented in their curricula., (3) concepts which would be included in an electronics course to provide for an effective learning experience for medical tecbnologists in the area of electro-medical instrumentation and safety, (4) whether medical technologists believe a course in medical electronics and electrical saf\u27ety should be a requirement or an elective for a major (BS-~rr) in medical technology, (5) ·what qualifications and/or prof\u27iciency an ins true tor mu s-t command to implement such a progra

Medical Informatics

The topic for this paper is an overview of medical informatics in the United States, what it is, how it is used in patient care, and what role librarians play in it. Medical informatics, a term first coined in Europe in the early 1970's, encompasses the disciplines of computer science and medicine. Medical informatics is a relatively new field, with its beginning in the 1950's. The first scholarly papers written in the field that was to become medical informatics are found in the literature of the engineering society, Professional Group in Bio-Medical Electronics of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE). This group published papers on the term "biomedical computing" in its annual conference proceedings known as the IRE Transactions on Medical Electronics. Although the definition of medical informatics may be stated as applying the power of computers to the medical field, there are many variant definitions to be found in the literature

2年目の「医療電子コース」

　In April 2007，the Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science (NiAS) established the "Medical Electronics Course" for the education of medical engineers in the Electric-Electronic Engineering Department，Faculty of engineering. The “Medical Electronics Course" started smoothly and has now finished the second year. This paper presents an outline of the Medical Electronics Course and introduces the results of the activities of the course during its second year

The treatment of a severe ataxic dysarthria, using electropalatography. Single case study

Electropalatography has been used successfully with several client groups (Hardcastle et al 1991). Intelligibility has been improved in children with articulation difficulties as a result of cleft palate, or with dyspraxia, or long standing phonological difficulties. There has been less work with adults and a very limited amount with acquired dysarthrics (Gibbon 1997). In the majority of cases reported, there has been a degree of improvement in intelligibility (eg Goldstein et al 1994). This is not a miraculous return to "normal speech", but an improvement, often where conventional speech therapy has failed. The Canterbury and Thanet Speech and Language Therapy Department, together with the local Community Dental Department and the University of Kent Medical Electronics Research Team, have undertaken a clinical trial. The intention was to have a subject group of at least 24 adult, acquired dysarthrics, and to compare the effects of electropalatography with conventional speech and language therapy in each case. Dr Rosemarie MorganBarry acted as a Speech and Language Therapy adviser and the research was funded by SE Thames Regional Health Authority. The results of this clinical trial will be fully reported in a separate paper. This paper reports on a single case history from within the trial
