Disinfection with chlorine solution was used in West Africa to prevent transmission of Ebola virus disease. This study surveyed 94 healthcare personnel and community leaders in Liberia and Guinea to assess understanding of disinfection and evaluate feedback on the perceived usefulness of Highlight, a new colour indicator designed to improve chlorine disinfection procedures. Using a Likert-type scale...
A wearable cardiopulmonary monitoring system, a LifeShirtreg, was used to acquire continuous electrocardiograms (ECGs) from ambulatory swine. The animals received intracoronary injections of autologous mesenchymal stem cells, and the LifeShirtreg was used for long-duration ECG monitoring in pre-defined periods post cell infusion. The system used here was developed for measurements from non-human primates...
The efficacy of an acoustic transmission line model (TLM) for predicting distortion that occurs with axial propagation in liquid-filled arterial segments was assessed. Water-filled segments of excised bovine aorta were excited with acoustic pulses and noise to evaluate if velocities, attenuation, and transverse resonance frequencies could be accurately predicted using the TLM. Regions of low acoustic...
A computer tool, based on an acoustic transmission line model, was developed for modeling and predicting sound propagation and reflections in cascaded tube segments. This subroutine considered the number of interconnected tubes, their dimensions and wall properties, as well as medium properties to create a network of cascaded transmission line model segments, from which the impulse response of the...
