Amputation of the limbs affects around 50.000 Brazilians every year. The loss of a limb impacts significantly the lifestyle of a person, especially if it is the loss of an upper limb. In order to minimize this impact, several groups and enterprises have been developing upper limbs electromechanical prosthesis, in an attempt to mimic the movement of the fingers of the hand. However, the de…
The human circulatory system is subject to several diseases. These diseases were responsible for 320 074 (29.01%) of deaths in Brazil in 2009. Many of them lead to a heart failure state, when the heart loses the ability to maintain blood flow inside the body. Patients with severe heart failure need heart transplant, but there are not enough donors and many patients die on the waiting list…
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are blood pumps used to assit the pumping function of the failing heart. The blood pumps are attached to heart in parallel, connecting the left ventricle to aorta. By using the VADs, it is expected to solve the problem of lack of heart donors for transplant. One type of the VADs, the centrifugal blood pump with magnetic bearing, has been developed by the …

Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive form to obtain images of human body. Ultrasound tomography is a new type of ultrasound imaging that has been developed by the research group of the proponent, in order to acquire functional images of cardiorespiratory system in thorax, especially for treatment of patients under mechanical ventilation inside Intensive Care Units, and also to acquire mor…
