198. Physical and Biological Implications of Capacitive Coupling for Electric Pulse Treatments

Allen Garner (Purdue University)

Biological, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Power Modulators

Oral Presentation

Conventional biomedical applications of electric pulse (EP) stimulation utilize conductive coupling, where the electrodes directly contact the biological sample; however, this may contaminate the sample due to ion release from the electrodes. One such application involves activating platelets ex-vivo to create gels for wound treatment without traditional biochemical activators that may induce...

Biological, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Power Modulators

Oral Presentation

Electric pulse (EP) treatment of biological cells commonly use conductive coupling, where the electrodes make direct contact with the biological sample. Alternatively, one may use capacitive coupling, where air or a dielectric separates the electrodes from the sample, to mitigate the disadvantages of conductive coupling, such as contamination from the electrodes. One critical difference is...

125. Study of the cell viability and thermal effect under the high-frequency composite pulses

Biological, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Power Modulators

Oral Presentation

Muscle contraction and the non-uniform distribution have become the key obstacles which restrict the development of the irreversible electroporation in clinical application. To solve these two issues, a novel type of pulses called high-frequency composite pulses was proposed by our group. The killing effect and the thermal effect were investigated by our homemade pulse generator. The...

191. Electric Pulse Manipulation of Cancer Cell Population Dynamics

Anand Vadlamani (Purdue University)

Biological, Medical, and Environmental Applications of Power Modulators

Oral Presentation

While electric pulses (EPs) can control cell population in vitro [1], the ability to specifically predict the types of cells (dividing or resting) targeted and optimize the EP parameters remain critical challenges for potential cancer treatment applications. Mathematical models of cancer cell population dynamics based on coupled differential equations can predict the transition of cells...

157. Measurement of electric field generated by high power burst pulse electromagnetic wave in water for using to application to bioelectrics

Prof. Yasushi Minamitani (Yamagata University)

07/07/2016, 11:45

Plasmas, Discharges, and Electromagnetic Phenomena

Oral Presentation

Nanosecond and sub-nanosecond high voltage pulses can provide new applications. A cancer treatment by an ultra-short pulse high electric field is one of them. High power pulsed electromagnetic wave has been proposed to apply the high electric field for that treatment [1]. Therefore we are developing a high power burst pulse electromagnetic wave generator for bioelectrics application [2]. In...
