  1. 1. Glucose Sensing and Differentiating Systems with Organic Electrochemical Neurons : A Future Outlook for Type 2 Diabetes

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Sophie Ziske; [2024]
    Keywords : organic electronics; organic electrochemical neuron; organic electrochemical transistor; type 2 diabetes; closed-loop system; Axon-Hillock neuron; astable multivibrator; vagus nerve stimulation; glucose sensing and differentiation; applied physics; biomedical engineering; electronics;

    Abstract : In recent years great advances in the field of biomedical engineering and organic electronics have been achieved. One promising application would be the regulation of blood glucose concentration in type 2 diabetes patients. This application would eliminate medication and would improve the standard of life.

  3. 2. Development of a Closed-loop for Measuring and Stimulating Peripheral Nervous System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Diego Ignacio Roy Hierro; [2022]
    Keywords : Control; Close-loop; PNI; VNS; HRV; Stimulation Protocol; Kontroll; Close-loop; PNI; VNS; HRV; Stimuleringsprotokoll.;

    Abstract : Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging discipline being a intersection of neu- roscience, immunology and electrical engineering. Chronic inflammation is linked to disorders such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, atheroscle- rosis, obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developing a method for insertion of soft neural probes into peripheral nerves

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Klara Melander; [2022]
    Keywords : Intraneural stimulation; insertion method; peripheral nerve; nerve phantom; peripheral nerve stimulation; Teknisk biologi; Teknisk biologi;

    Abstract : The main objective of this project was to develop a method for soft neural probe insertion into a nerve. These soft probes are made of a silicon elastomer that is a few orders of magnitude less stiff than the nerve, which makes the insertion process particularly challenging. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation parameters for rehabilitation of median and ulnar nerve injury

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Lycke Fureby; Frida Lindén; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The rehabilitation techniques currently available for patients who suffer from injury to the ulnar or median nerve tends to give suboptimal results. Typically, adults who are operated due to a complete transection of the median or ulnar nerve never regain normal sensibility in the injured hand leading to severe limitations in terms of hand function.

  6. 5. The impact of ion drift in a Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oscar Tuvesson; Erik Blåe; [2022]
    Keywords : TES; neuron activation; ion drift; conductivity; COMSOL; FEM; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A major area of research in neuroscience is the effect of stimulating nerves into activation from extrinsic stimuli. This is commonly done with electric currents and external skin-contact electrodes. READ MORE
