Abstract

Autologous transplantation of bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell preparations is now a widely used form of rescue from the myeloablative effects of high-dose therapy for malignant disease. The success of this procedure is affected by numerous factors associated both with management of the patient and the quality of the graft. In this review, approaches are described to maximize the success and utility of this therapeutic approach.

FFT-based digital tactile vocoder system for real-time use.

A microprocessor-based real-time digital vibrotactile vocoder system has been developed to train the deaf and for artificial hearing research. The system is composed of a microcomputer module with a digital signal processor, interface units and an attenuator/driver circuit. Live or digitised (stored or synthetic) speech is presented to the skin spectrally through a belt housing eight or 16 vibrators. Speech is processed in real time using a fast Fourier transform. The system is also capable of presenting any arbitrary spatiotemporal pattern on the skin for artificial hearing experiments. A preliminary experiment with a deaf subject indicates that the system is potentially an effective device for artificial hearing.

Electric field induced in a spherical volume conductor from arbitrary coils: application to magnetic stimulation and MEG.

A mathematical method is presented that allows fast and simple computation of the electric field and current density induced inside a homogeneous spherical volume conductor by current flowing in a coil. The total electric field inside the sphere is computed entirely from a set of line integrals performed along the coil current path. Coils of any closed shape are easily accommodated by the method. The technique can be applied to magnetic brain stimulation and to magnetoencephalography. For magnetic brain stimulation, the total electric field anywhere inside the head can be easily computed for any coil shape and placement. The reciprocity theorem may be applied so that the electric field represents the lead field of a magnetometer. The finite coil area and gradiometer loop spacing can be precisely accounted for without any surface integration by using this method. The theory shows that the steady-state, radially oriented induced electric field is zero everywhere inside the sphere for ramping coil current and highly attenuated for sinusoidal coil current. This allows the model to be extended to concentric spheres which have different electrical properties.
