Current demand in biomedical sciences emphasizes the understanding of basic mechanisms and problem solving rather than rigid empiricism and factual recall. Knowledge of the basic laws of mass and momentum transport as well as model development and validation, biomedical signal processing, biomechanics, and capstone design have indispensable roles in the engineering analysis of physiological processes. To this end, an introductory, multidisciplinary text is a must to provide the necessary foundation for beginning biomedical students. Assuming no more than a passing acquaintance with molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, and signal processing, Biomedical Engineering Principles, Second Edition provides just such a solid, accessible grounding to this rapidly advancing field. Acknowledging the vast range of backgrounds and prior education from which the biomedical field draws, the organization of this book lends itself to a tailored course specific to the experience and interests of the student. Divided into four sections, the book begins with systems physiology, transport processes, cell physiology, and the cardiovascular system. Part I covers systems analysis, biological data, and modeling and simulation in experimental design, applying concepts of diffusion, and facilitated and active transport. Part II presents biomedical signal processing, reviewing frequency, periodic functions, and Fourier series as well as signal acquisition and processing techniques. Part III presents the practical applications of biomechanics, focusing on the mechanical and structural properties of bone, musculoskeletal, and connective tissue with respect to joint range, load bearing capacity, and electrical stimulation. The final part highlights capstone design, discussing design perspectives for living and nonliving systems, the role of the FDA, and the project timeline from inception to proof of concept. Cutting across many disciplines, Biomedical Engineering Principles, Second Edition offers illustrative examples as well as problems and discussion questions designed specifically for this book to provide a readily accessible, widely applicable introductory text.

Cutting-edge medical device design techniques, strategies, and insights This practical textbook helps students and professionals gain perspective while designing medical devices. You will get special and specific design strategies and clear discussions on why each approach works-or doesn't work-in various applications. The book provides a common vocabulary for communicating and understanding the scientific, regulatory, and business aspects of medical device design. Foundations and Strategies for Medical Device Design contains medical design practices and case studies along with anecdotes that demonstrate how proper oversight can avoid both missed opportunities and catastrophic failures. Current resources are identified where the reader can delve into detail for specific design topics. The book explains ethical, regulatory, and scientific issues to keep in mind when tackling medical device design. Features best practices, case studies, historical context, and cautionary tales Contains end-of-chapter open questions and recommended reading for further study Written by an experienced educator and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience and six patents

Anyone concerned about the health habits--or lack thereof--of college students should read this book. College Administrators, Professors, Parents, Students and their doctors, will all learn valuable evidence that will help maintain the health and well being of students while in college and beyond. A clinical study is conducted in which the 3 groups of college students with different fitness habits are followed for one year. Fitness measures and personal surveys are taken at key points during the study. This book provides a comprehensive summary of pertinent concepts in exercise physiology for anyone who feels they do not have a substantial background in exercise and physiology, and it is especially useful for engineers who are working in medical technology.
