摘要:
The apparatus has: electrodes (E.sub.1 to E.sub.6) which are to be attached to a predetermined region of a living body; a skin potential measuring unit (1) which detects the skin potential from the electrodes; a judging unit (3) which detects and stores the skin potential before administration of an anesthetic agent, which detects and stores that after administration of the anesthetic agent, which sets a threshold to be an arbitrary level, on the basis of a change from the stored skin potential before administration of the anesthetic agent to the stored skin potential after administration of the anesthetic agent, and which compares the time-varying skin potential with the threshold, thereby judging the depth of anesthesia; and an alarm unit (6) which raises an alarm in accordance with instructions from the judging unit.

An electrode 4 for detecting a biological signal and a loop antenna 3 are integrally mounted on a support 2 placed on the surface of a living body and a transmitter 5 is placed on the support 2. A biological signal detected on the electrode 4 is input through a connector 11 to electric circuitry 10 of the transmitter 5 and an electric signal processed by the electric circuitry 10 is output through connectors 12 and 13 to both ends of the loop antenna 3 from which the biological signal is emitted to a receiver. At this time, the opening face of the loop antenna 3 is in a direction almost perpendicular to the surface of a living body for improving sensitivity.

摘要:
A core (20) is housed in a box (10) in which a box upper board (11) is electrically insulative and nonmagnetic. The core has front and rear side legs (23) directed toward the box upper board (11). A coil (26) is wound around the core (20). An air way (12a) is formed in a box bottom board (12). A blower (16) is attached to the air way. Other air ways which cooperate with the air way (12a) to form air pathways passing over the coil (26) are formed in box side boards (13). Pulse current or alternating current is supplied to the coil (26) to generate magnetic fluxes toward a region from a front of the urethral orifice to a rear of the anus, so that urinary incontinence is treated by eddy currents induced in the living body.
摘要:
A multi-purpose sensor a single unit is capable of measuring both electric signals from the object and pressures at the same time and which yet is compact, lightweight and cheap enough to be used as a disposable product. Element in a disk form that is composed of carbon fibers superposed in layers at low density to produce a felt-like texture is surrounded with concentric cylindrical holder. Terminal is connected to an end face of each of element and holder whereas terminal is connected to the other end face, whereby the deformation of element due to an externally applied force is picked up as a voltage change.

A communication system has a Holter electrocardiograph having a biological signal detection apparatus having a transmitter 10 for processing and telemetering signals detected by a plurality of electrodes supported on supports for detecting biological signals, a receiver 14 for receiving the signal telemetered from the transmitter, demodulating the received signal, and outputting the demodulated signal to a biological signal input section of required record means, and a recorder 16 having record means for recording the demodulated signal by the receiver. The recorder of the Holter electrocardiograph has transmitting and receiving means 17 for telemetering the signal stored in the record means, receiving an external transmission signal, and telemetering some or all of the signals stored in the record means as instructed by the external transmission signal. A biological signal input apparatus PC having transmitting and receiving means for inputting signals and transmitting and receiving communication information to and from the transmitting and receiving means of the recorder of the Holter electrocardiograph through a relay transmitter-receiver 19 and a wide area network.

摘要:
A core (5) is composed of a J-shaped front core portion (1), a J-shaped rear core portion (2), a U-shaped left core portion (3), and a U-shaped right core portion (4). These core portions (1 to 4) have one-side end portions which are substantially directed in one and the same direction and which are fixed to one another to thereby form a center portion (6). A coil (7) is wound on the center portion (6). The core (5) is attached to a core support member attached closely to a patient. In use, the coil apparatus is made close or near to the patient. When the coil (7) is supplied with a pulse current, pulse-like magnetic flux is generated in the purdendal nerve and pelvic floor muscle group of the patient so that an eddy current is induced. The patient in the region where magnetic flux is generated and an eddy current is generated, is stimulated sufficiently, so that urinary incontinence treatment is performed.
摘要:
A conductive composition for a biological electrode is capable of reducing the impedance between the electrode and the skin. A conductive gel composition for a biological electrode which is capable of electrically and physically connecting a living body to an electrode element and is composed of at least the following components: (1) a radical-polymerizable unsaturated compound; (2) a moisturizer serving as a plasticizer and functioning to supplementing and promoting the physiological humidifying function of the horny layer; (3) a polymerization initiator; and (4) a crosslinking agent. This moisturizer serves also as a plasticizer and, furthermore, elevates the moisture content in the horny layer at the application of this composition. The above-mentioned composition may further contain a plasticizer selected from among polyhydric alcohols, amines and ethers.
摘要:
A method for treating urinary incontinence which consists of delivering a train of current pulses through one or more magnetic stimulation coils to induce a train of magnetic flux pulses, which then induce an eddy current within the body, thereby to stimulate a group of pelvic floor muscles, the pudendal nerve, the external urethral sphincter, or the tibial nerve.
