Electrical stimulation for stress incontinence

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1998
Electrical stimulation has been reported to be effective for stress incontinence, cure and improvement rates being reported to range from 30% to 50%, and from 6% to 90%, respectively. However, clinical application of this treatment is not common because there is little physiological and technical information.

Provocation With Stress and Electricity of Patients With ???Sensitivity to Electricity???

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2000
Twenty-four patients with self-reported "sensitivity to electricity" were divided into two groups and tested in a double-blind provocation study. These patients, who reported increased skin symptoms when exposed to electromagnetic fields, were compared with 12 age- and sex-matched controls.

Electrical stress on insulators of the vivitron

The eighth international conference on heavy-ion accelerator technology, 1999
The Vivitron is a large electrostatic accelerator in operation under high voltage since December 1990. Since then, the machine sustained more than 750 sparks and operated more than 17 000 hours at voltages up to 20 MV. The paper presents a review of the electric stresses applied on the insulators of that particular HV generator following the ...

Electrical stress on electrical steel coatings

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2003
This paper reports on investigations of the electrical stress/interlaminar voltages on electrical steel coatings and highlights some misconceptions by simulating possible insulation failures in a magnetic core. It concludes by showing that insulation breakdown due to electrical discharge between laminations is not the main cause of short circuits in a ...

Stress measurement by electrical means

Electrical Engineering, 1946
THE ADVENT of electric strain gauges1 suitable for the measurement of mechanical performance on a strength basis not only has widened the field of the electrical engineer with regard to equipment and techniques but gradually has imposed upon him a responsibility to the aeronautical or mechanical engineer in his role as interpreter.

Effects of electrical stressing in power VDMOSFETs☆

Microelectronics Reliability, 2004
Abstract The effects of gate bias stressing on threshold voltage and mobility in power VDMOSFETs and underlying changes in gate oxide-trapped charge and interface trap densities are presented and analysed in terms of the mechanisms responsible. It is shown that gate bias stressing causes significant threshold voltage shift and mobility degradation in

Electrical stimulation as a treatment for stress incontinence

British Journal of Nursing, 2000
Much research has been conducted into the use of electrical stimulation to restore function in weak/atrophied muscle and it is used widely in the field of muscle rehabilitation. As stress incontinence is a condition which is the result of pelvic floor muscle weakness, it is thought that the symptoms of this condition may be alleviated once the ...

Electrical Stimulation of Ante Mortem Stressed Beef

Meat Science, 1981
Ten heifers were stressed before slaughter and one side of each animal was electrically stimulated. Six of the ten animals produced dark-cutting beef on the non-stimulated side. Electrical stimulation had no effect on muscle colour, ultimate pH, shear force or any of the sensory characteristics of muscle fibre tenderness, overall tenderness, connective

Photoconductivity in electrically stressed dielectrics

Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena - Annual Report 1972, 1972
We have observed the flow of large photoconduction currents through thin sheets of polyimide insulation in which a high electric field was produced. With low fields and without illumination the test dielectric (Type H Kapton) is an excellent electrical insulator. The initial observation was made by chance by one of us (H. V. C.).
