Maria P. Gonzalez Puente Wentworth Institute of Technology ‘14 General Engineering (BSEN) Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Stomatch Disorder Caused as a consequence of diabetes type 1 It happens when the the vagus nerve stops working. Causes Bacterial Overgrowth due to fermentation of remains. Can be treated with Enterra a Neurostimulator by Medtronic. Stimulates de Nerve with electrical impulses. It’s a treatment not a solution for gastroparesis. The neurostimulator sends mild electrical pulses through the leads to stimulate the nerves and smooth muscles of the lower stomach After the device is implanted, the doctor uses a handheld, external programmer to adjust the neurostimulator and customize the stimulation for each patient Product Features · Model 3116 · Size: 55 mm x 60 mm x 10 mm · Weight: 1.5 oz. (42 g) · Manufacture by: MEDTRONIC. Epilepsy Epilepsy is caused by abnormalities in brain electrical activity. The brain in unable to stop or inhibit electrical impulses between neurons. When the electrical discarded happens the epileptic attack happens. Treatment for this disorder is VNS Pulse Therapy by Cybertronics. VNS Pulse Therapy VNS therapy can improve the sense of control in patients with epilepsy to live more normal lives. The therapy includes a pacemaker-like device. Placed on the chest and neck just under the skin. The device works continually by sending small electrical impulses to the vagus nerve in the neck. • Model: 103 Generator (For new patients) • Weight: 16 grams • Longevity: 6+ years • Manufactured by : Cybertronics Thank you for you attention!
