Electrocardiogram is the most common cardiac examination ordered by physicians. In the past, only persons working in the ECG laboratory were allowed to perform a 12-lead ECG on a patient. Today, however, this task has been delegated to a variety of health professionals, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and even nursing assistants in some health care facilities. There is a ne ...

completion, the entire course will provide a professional certificate with continuing nursing education contact hours or can be transferred as academic credit in an undergraduate-nursing program. The model for the OCPP to be developed in this project has three components: didactic core content, clinical practicum, and a Virtual Center of Best Practices. The core ...

"Adaptive Materials Inc. will explore the feasibility of small scale power generation using microtubule solid oxide fuel cells as outlined in Topic Area 3; Materials and Processes for Electrochemical Energy Conversion. We believe microtubule solid oxidefuel cells are the key to a soldier portable, rapid starting, field-rugged, compact, and light weight power source. Individual cells demonstrating ...

"Significant obstacles to the widespread adoption of integrated micro-fluidic devices include their relatively low fluidic circuit density and high cost. To obviate these limitations, Advanced Sensor Technologies, Inc. (AST) proposes to develop thetechnologies to allow fabrication of three-dimensional micro-fluidic devices with integrated active components that are an order of magnitude less cost ...

"The US Joint Services, Federal Agencies, and state and local First Responders have expressed dissatisfaction with currently employed organophosphate (OP) sensors. They have identified the need for a new generation of sensors that is small, light-weight,and easy to use while being capable of extended operations in rugged environments. Advanced Sensor Technologies proposes to address these issues w ...

DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): Toward the goal of developing an automated, miniaturized device to detect the body's reaction to exposure to environmental toxins, Advanced Sensor Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop a miniature device capable of providing differential blood cholinesterase analysis. The device will provide analysis of cholinesterase levels (acety ...

"AST proposes to develop a non-invasive methodology able to continuously monitor blood glucose concentration. As opposed to employing near infrared spectroscopy, which suffers from the limitations of sensitivity, stability, and repeatability, AST intendsto employ direct measurement of glucose, via amperometric sensors coated with glucose oxidase membranes, from minute amounts of interstitial flui ...
