Especially type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly in all of the developed and developing society with the rapid changes in lifestyle. As of the year 2013, the number of the diabetes patients are 382 million. And this number is expected to reach 592 million increased by %55 in 2035. The main reason of this population growth due to the obesity and physical inactivity is increasing beacuse of urbanization and aging. In our country, according to result of the studies of Turkey diabetes apidemiology (TURDEP-I), type 2 diabetes mellitus %7.2 frequency of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) %6.7 was found. In the studies of TURDEP-II that is published recently has been seen significantly increase of 2 type diabetes mellitus at age of 20 and over. Uncontrolled diabetes leading to hypoglycemia causes development of complications that affect all systems of the body. (cardiovascular system-eyes-kidney-nervous system) The risk of lower extremity amputation in diabetes patients is 25 times higher than without diabetes. Especaially in developed countries, the most common cause is visual loss and blindness. Under the light of these information, the form of insulin pen was designed that can be used more comfortable for visually handicapped people and blinds.","PeriodicalId":431660,"journal":{"name":"2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124836346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So that, it is planned to determine the conformities and to take the required preventions without harming to the patient. During hemodialysis system disinfection, not only hemodialysis machine but also water treatment system and distribution system should be disinfected. Because they require a comprehensive study, the responsibility has been given to the biomedical staff rather than the user. Therefore, it is prerequisite that a biomedical staff must know the disinfection of the hemodialysis system. In this study, the information about the disinfection of the hemodialysis systems and the related instructions are given.

Monitoring the vital signs, such as heart-rate and blood flow, of a developing chicken embryo is very useful at incubation stages for breeding programs. Especially for artificial incubation conditions, confirmation of fertilization and survival of eggs at early stage, are of practical importance. In this paper, an optical method based on laser speckle contrast analysis has been developed to monitor heart-rate values of chicken embryos at early incubation stage. With advantage of simplicity and efficiency of this method, it can be a proper and different from that of literature, for routine embryonic assessment. We can determine heart-rate value using speckle-contrast data from image sequence and Welch Spectral Analysis. It is shown that the proposed system can be used for heart-rate based monitoring of the embryonic development of fertilized chicken and other avian types.","PeriodicalId":431660,"journal":{"name":"2016 Medical Technologies National Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130880389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
