...ABR for Benz E-Class Adaptive Brake System The Adaptive brake system is an electro-hydraulic brake system, which regulates the brake request for each wheel individually. The hybrid electric vehicles usually take the ABR system which co-operating with the regenerative braking system as the whole system. It aims to gain the benefits in recollecting the energy and promoting the braking efficiency and safety. The actuator also have adjustable pedal feel through use of some sort of pressure generating mechanism and a pedal force compensator also. One character of the ABR is the pre-recharging. When the vehicle is driven on a steady speed, the driver just keeps step on the accelerator pedal. Then the driver suddenly lose the accelerator pedal, the ABR system would assume that driver has the intention to step the braking pedal. So, at that moment, ABR system would automatically bring approximately 40-50 psi to the braking system. The core propose of the ABR is to (actually before the driver exactly brake) reduce the distance between the brake pad and disc, shorting the braking reaction time so as to cut down the braking distance. ABR system judges the drivers’ intention on braking if it’s emergency which depends on the speed of drivers’ step off the accelerator pedal. But driver would not feel anything about the work of ABR. Another character of the ABR is Dry Braking. The dry braking is only works when it occurs on front axle at wet condition. For example, when it rains, the...

...but also the community. Even though there is a risk with new ideas, healthcare is constantly changing because new technology is developing frequently and there is always room for improvement. What is healthcare innovation someone may ask, well healthcare innovation is new improvements or inventions in healthcare. Patient portals, electronic medical records, medical imagining, medications, regenerative medicine, surgical technology, medical technology, and virtual visits are just a few types of healthcare innovation in the works. Healthcare innovations will benefit patients and health care. The goal of healthcare innovations is to make the quality of life for individuals an improvement. The robotic surgeries allow doctors to perform minimally invasive surgeries instead of making large incisions. Therefore, allowing for better recovery time, smaller scars, less trauma to the body, and decreases the risk of infection. Regenerative medicine allows for new development with regenerating human cells. For example, stem cell transplants, used in treating leukemia, is a form of regenerative medicine. Medical imagining has allowed for quicker diagnosing of patient problems. The new developments in medications are now curing illness that normally would have never given people a fighting chance. Healthcare innovation, in my opinion, will increase health care spending; especially, with all of the new development that is happening. Developing new ideas and creating new creations takes time...

...The future of medicine Thesis: The future of medicine holds advancements in medical technology that will greatly increase our longevity and quality of life. I. Introduction A. Attention Getter: Everyone in this room is going to DIE, what matters to each one of you is when and how your death is going to happen. B. Relevance: The answer to both how and when you are going to die will change dramatically with new medical technology emerging. C. Credibility: As a Pre-Med neuroscience student, I’ve been very interested in the up and coming technology in medicine. In fact, this summer I studied in Germany learning about brain computer interfaces, but I will get more into that later. D. Thesis: (What matters to each one of you is that) the future of medicine holds incredible technological advancements that will greatly increase our longevity and quality of life. E. Preview: In the not so distant future, medicine will tell you if you are about to get sick, or if any of your organs need replacing new ones will be grown with your DNA, and if you are paralyzed or disabled you will be able to control robotic exoskeletons to compensate for any loss with your brain waves. Transition: Now I know this sounds kind of technical and boring and you are probably thinking why do I care, let me answer that. Currently medicine is set up so that if you feel sick you go to the doctor, but by the time you feel symptoms, for instance of cancer, you have a later stage of the disease...

...Thank you! For Case Western Reserve University, I am interested in the Molecular Medicine program. I will be doing research in the Cleveland Clinic, Lerner Research Institute. I first heard about this program when I was helping my sister move into her college two summers ago. I was born in Ohio and haven't visited the state since so I was intrigued by the city. After I helped my sister move in, I also made time to walk around the college town, museums, and hospitals. It was an eye-opening moment for me, personally because I didn't expect myself to move out of Oregon till then. Although CWRU seemed like a small private college, it had so many research labs and numerous projects operated my renowned researchers who are also professors, doctors, and advisors. I've also done research on professors and research projects and there are numerous projects and studies I would like to learn more about. There are many departments in this program, including Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Stem cell biology and Regenerative medicine, Cancer Biology. I am still in the process of trying to find what I would like to work on specifically and although I...

...I joined the EMS Explorer Program freshman year of high school, where I was able to explore the emergency side of medicine. Since then, I set a goal for myself to become an Emergency Medical Responder and an Emergency Medical Technician. As soon as I became sixteen, I took a course over the summer, spending more than twenty hours a week learning about how to become an effective Emergency Medical Technician. I also attended many conferences such as the annual EMS Expo and a Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Conference. Through this intensive course, I received a First Responder/ CPR certification and learned many hands- on experiences which I will apply in my medical career. I took a test at the end of this course which I aced, causing me to become an EMR. Now, I am volunteering as an EMR, riding ambulances and taking care of people who call for...

...Transplantation in the Health Care Industry 3 Organ transplantation is a medical act which involves the surgical operating by transferring or removing of an organ from one person to the other, or placing the organ of a donor into the body of a recipient for the replacement of the recipients damaged or failed organ which resulted from impairment of normal physiological function affecting part or all of an organism or an act that causes someone to receive physical damage. Lately, there is an emerging innovation whereby organs are created to form and increase in size by a process of inorganic accretion, from the patient’s cell. This field of medicine is known as the regenerative medicine. In addition to this, there are basically various types of regenerative medical transplanting which are known as the auto graft, allograft organic transplantation, iso-graft, xeno-graft and xeno- transplantation, Split transplants, and Domino transplantation (Schicktanz, 2010, p4).According to the surgical field of medical profession, transplantation is performed in various parts of the human organ which are liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, intestine, pancreas and the thymus. Consequently, the transplantation of the kidney happens to be the most widely embraced worldwide....

Value Alignment Learning Team B Anita Duray, Genia Lewis, Lisa McNeill, Tamiko Perry, and Michael Rogerson BUS 475 July 9, 2012 Paul Gerlach In this paper Learning Team B analyzed the individual values and the organizational values as reflected by the organization’s plans and actions of the Mayo Clinic. The Learning Team B selected the Mayo Clinic because of its long history and high values. The Mayo Clinic’s founder was Dr. William Worrall Mayo and back in 1863 in Rochester, Minn. From the beginning the Mayo Clinic main focus was helping people with a more team driven practice. The clinic would request other doctors or science researchers to join them in the world’s first private group practice in medicine. This teamwork method through the Mayo Clinic continues today with more than 55,000 doctors, nurses, scientists, students, and allied health staff at locations in the Midwest, Arizona, and Florida. (“Mayo Clinic History”, 2012) With the data available about the Mayo Clinic the Learning Team B is going to analyze the evolution of the clinic’s personal and workplace values. The team will explain and analyze the alignment of the clinic’s individual and organizational values. Then finally the team will explain the differences between the individual and organizational values as reflected by the Mayo Clinic’s plans and actions. Personal and Workplace Values Mayo Clinic is a medical clinic. This medical clinic main design is to help patients...

...patients wait for compatible organs, which is averaged at twenty people per day in the US alone. Figure 3, shows the number of people who are waiting for an organ in the US in comparison to the number of donors and transplants that occur, it, however, does not take into account that some of the individuals are waiting for more than one organ, which would greatly increase the figures on the waiting list. The people who receive new organs would then be able to live healthier lifestyles and contribute to society through different means such as the workforce. Although not all organs can be replaced and a lot more life-threatening are in organs bioprinting cannot yet replicate. Printed tissues can also be used for scientific research of new medicines and studying different diseases because it replicates the behaviour of real human tissue, whilst being more affordable. This will enable scientists to have more breakthroughs due to the rapid availability. Bioprinting does however also affect the environment, although the materials in the product are all naturally derived and it has the same composition as normal human organs, the amount of electricity used by the printer to create that organ is excessive. On standby the printer uses a hundred watts an hour, over the year this totals 876 kilowatts an hour. This contributes to 688 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions if general electricity from the grid is...

...notice that while the research would help me to better understand cell motility, I struggled to apply it to my previous interests in understanding cancer metastasis and the human body. This finding, coupled with a similar feeling from my experience at NIH, led to my discovery of the divide that separated basic research from clinical application. I realized that despite my desire and interest in applying my work to aiding and improving the lives of others, the research that I was conducting could not easily be translated into therapy. With this realization, I sought a way to bridge this gap between science and medicine and my search brought my attention to the field of translational research. To experience transitional research, I recently joined Dr. Ricardo Feldman’s laboratory in the Department of Cell Biology and Immunology at the University of Maryland (UM) School of Medicine as a UM scholar for the summer (from the end of May to early August of 2017). The Feldman Lab uses induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study and test treatment of Gaucher disease (GD), which is the most common inherited lipid-storage disease and is caused by mutations in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene, leading to glucocerebrosidase (GCase) deficiency. Neurodegeneration is often associated with GD and carriers of the disease are known to be at an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. By differentiating the iPSCs of patients diagnosed with GD, the group found that dopaminergic...

...will arise in the health sector in the future. Research in technology that can be applied to this sector is being carried out by several UPC teams. [pic] Although sophisticated medical technology is already available in health systems in developed countries, further advances are constantly being made. As a result of the addition of medical nanotechnology to existing knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, it seems likely that new, more personalised, more accurate and more rapid diagnostic techniques will be devised in the future, as well as new treatments that are also more personalised and promote regeneration of the organism. Clearly, as areas of research such as biomaterials or tissue engineering are developed for use in regenerative medicine, the range of opportunities will increase dramatically. Josep Anton Planell, the director of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), which was formed by the UB, the UPC and the Generalitat (Government of Catalonia) and has its headquarters in Barcelona Science Park, considers that “in the future, it will be possible to design intelligent biomaterials that, when placed where damaged tissue needs to be regenerated, will be able to stimulate the stem cells to do what we want them to do”. However, more knowledge is needed to perfect the process. He states, “We are beginning to understand which biochemical, biophysical or mechanical signals activate cells to regenerate tissue. To be able to intervene, therefore, we first...

...exposed to numerous stresses but only has a limited capacity to regenerate worn or damaged cells. It must be able to deal with and respond to these stresses. Development of new treatments to treat cardiac diseases is a major research goal at the moment. Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of cell death by apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy is a big area being looked at. Another key area is the replacement of these worn and dead cells. It was once thought that the loss of cardiac myocytes was a process that was irreversible. However the discovery of tissue resident cardiac stem cells and the function of bone marrow derived stem cells have changed this belief. Extensive research was sparked by these discoveries in an effort to use the regenerative properties of stem cells to repair damaged cardiac myocytes, improve the function of the heart and reduce the deaths due to cardiac related illnesses....

Globalization and Health 2012, 8:32 http://www.globalizationandhealth.com/content/8/1/32 REVIEW Open Access Understanding India, globalisation and health care systems: a mapping of research in the social sciences Ramila Bisht1*, Emma Pitchforth2 and Susan F Murray3 Abstract National and transnational health care systems are rapidly evolving with current processes of globalisation. What is the contribution of the social sciences to an understanding of this field? A structured scoping exercise was conducted to identify relevant literature using the lens of India – a ‘rising power’ with a rapidly expanding healthcare economy. A five step search and analysis method was employed in order to capture as wide a range of material as possible. Documents published in English that met criteria for a social science contribution were included for review. Via electronic bibliographic databases, websites and hand searches conducted in India, 113 relevant articles, books and reports were identified. These were classified according to topic area, publication date, disciplinary perspective, genre, and theoretical and methodological approaches. Topic areas were identified initially through an inductive approach, then rationalised into seven broad themes. Transnational consumption of health services; the transnational healthcare workforce; the production, consumption and trade in specific health-related commodities, and transnational diffusion of ideas and knowledge...

...Differences between Pharmaceutical Medicine and Natural Medicine Humans want a way of healing that works and is safe for their bodies. Though pharmaceutical and natural medicine work in different ways, the primary aim is to alleviate pain, suffering and curing diseases in humans. Both of these medicines have different underlying principles of dealing with ailments. Exploring each side, to see how they are different, or how they are the same, is the only way to answer the following questions; what is going to work best and what is safer to use? I have done some research to explore the differences and similarities so you, as the reader, can decide if natural remedies promote a longer, healthier life. Dr. Valinda Gueye (2001), discussed in an article, the safety between these two systems. Some Conventional Medicines have adverse reaction and are increasing at an exponential rate causing untold suffering and death. Natural medicine has been the mainstay of the practice of medicine since its very inception. Intervention of illness practically began with the use of natural remedies and there are examples of herbal remedies as far back as there are written records. A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American Medicine frequently causes more harm than good according to a group of researchers that have analyzed and combined all the published literature dealing with injuries and death caused...
