Extractions: Email : 76137.2164@CompuServe.com Ensuring Dependability Most of the medical devices I have worked on have included a significant software component. No simple solution exists to ensure that the software is dependable; however, using Ada provides a beginning. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) certifies that any compiler it "validates" has passed numerous tests in the validation test suite and Ada compiler vendors, such as Alsys, provide meaningful warranties. The use of Ada for developing expensive, dangerous weapons and for projects requiring a high level of safety, such as air traffic control and aircraft, has established an infrastructure of standards and experience for Ada programmers in specifying, designing, creating, and testing the software. In the United States, if a manufacturer's 510K or Premarket Approval Form fails to substantiate that the product is safe and effective to the Food and Drug Administration's satisfaction, then the device cannot be sold in the country. Even after the sale, a patient can sue the manufacturer for malpractice and negligence if the device harms him or her. Now limited to the United States, the FDA's stringent guidelines are being tailored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the European Community. Hence, manufacturers will have a harder time avoiding tight standards for high quality by searching outside the United States for their markets.

Extractions: News By Karen Young Kreeger For the first time in almost 40 years of recognizing outstanding contributions to medical science, the Gairdner Foundation of Willowdale, Ontario, Canada, will honor the growing field of biomedical engineering. Robert Langer, a biomedical engineer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has made landmark discoveries in drug delivery, is one of five researchers who will be presented with the foundation's annual International Awards at a ceremony on October 25 in Toronto. "When I started doing [the drug-delivery] work in the 1970s, people in chemical engineering and biomedical engineering thought it was on the fringe, at best," recalls Langer. "Now it's something they're very proud of." Since its inception in 1957, the foundation has honored 243 scientists. Of these honorees, 46 or almost 20 percent have gone on to win a Nobel Prize. The five winners for 1996, each of whom will receive $30,000 in Canadian funds ($21,900 in United States dollars), are: Robert S. Langer

A Biomedical Engineer In The Making A biomedical engineer in the Making. In hopes of finding a better educationalenvironment for their son, Bill Huang's parents immigrated http://www.wse.jhu.edu/archive/pubs/94ar/depts/bme/bme3.html
Extractions: In hopes of finding a better educational environment for their son, Bill Huang's parents immigrated from Taiwan to the United States when he was 11. Mastering English was difficult for the biomedical engineering senior, but he approached it with determination and enthusiasm, traits also characteristic of his years at Johns Hopkins. Valedictorian of his Long Beach Polytechnic High School class, Huang was equally interested in many subjects until he took his first biology course. "I was amazed by the secrets Mother Nature has implanted among us," Huang recalls. "Suddenly, a whole world I did not know existed before me." And Huang was also profoundly affected by his calculus teacher, a man "full of life" and looking forward to retirement until he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. To Huang, Johns Hopkins and its biomedical engineering program seemed the right place to prepare for a career in medicine. Huang's early participation in undergraduate research came from a simple need to fill a slot in his course schedule. Having placed out of fresh-man chemistry, Huang approached his adviser, Associate Professor Robert Phair, for guidance. To Huang's surprise, Phair offered the opportunity to do independent research in his lab. And the rest, as they say, is history. At first, Huang read research papers, familiarizing himself with the area of calcium signaling and mathematical modeling of biological systems. Upon beginning research in the second semester, Huang quickly realized that "there are no right or wrong answers; there is only the unknown." His quick aptitude for research and his contributions to research in the behavior of vascular smooth cells have led to listings as first author or co-author of three papers.

Senior World Online - Articles Senior World Online. biomedical engineer Tames Cardiac Arrhythmia. 400,000 Americansdie each year from cardiac rhythm disorders, commonly known as arrhythmias. http://www.seniorworld.com/articles/a19981106204158.html
Extractions: Biomedical Engineer Tames Cardiac Arrhythmia 400,000 Americans die each year from cardiac rhythm disorders, commonly known as arrhythmias. Yoram Rudy, a professor of biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University, would like to change those statistics for the better. That's why he has spent the last two decades exploring the electrical activity of the heart to learn more about these abnormal heart rhythms. Rudy, founding director of CWRU's Cardiac Bioelectricity Research and Training Center, says that understanding the mechanisms for these abnormal rhythms could save lives through better diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. What's so special about Rudy's work? He uses theoretical techniques such as mathematical modeling and computer simulations combined with experimental and clinical data to find out why these rhythm disorders occur, where they originate from, and what might be done to prevent or treat them. The work is complex because abnormal rhythms can begin in a single cell and trigger the collapse of the entire circulatory system. "The electrical activity of the heart is really the signal that tells the heart to contract," says Rudy. "It allows the heart to pump blood in a synchronous manner." Normally, the heart's natural pacemaker produces electrical impulses that spread throughout the heart like a wave, telling it to contract. The wave of electrical excitation travels in a precisely defined path that is repeated during every heart beat, explains Rudy. However, if a person has heart disease, fibrillation can occur, causing fast and irregular heartbeats. As a result, the heart's electrical impulses can become chaotic, leading to sudden death.
