Artificial pancreas ... New hope for patients with diabetes
Is not new or strange to medicine, the idea of using mechanical parts or electronic devices, to replace the missing part of the body, or to compensate them for the deterioration of the functions of a member. For example, in the case of artificial limbs, are replaced by the hand or arm or foot or leg amputated part mechanic leads - to a large extent - the same function as the missing part. The other area that applies the same concept, is the support of members that are physiological functions of mobility, such as heart or kidney or urinary bladder, and possibly even the ears or eyes. This area has seen a recent breakthrough, however, at the level of development of artificial pancreas, to help people with diabetes - especially the first type of it - to achieve better control the level of sugar in their blood.The role of Artificial pancreas in determining the amount of automatic insulin and sugar that the body needs to help patients with diabetes.
The Breus Kovachev Professor of Engineering in Information Systems and is designed devices device is a computer the size of the mobile phone works such as the pancreas, where it reads a permanent rate of sugar in the body and is calculated need her patient to send information is then directly to the pump, which pumps insulin is necessary for the body.
Kovachev explained that the device responds with what to eat each patient and measures the rate of sugar in his blood, even during sleep, where the device integrates an insulin pump and permanent observer of sugar and up their computer regulates the work of the pancreas.
In a study conducted on patients who use the device they are five times less susceptible to disease, low sugar.of automatic insulin and sugar that the body needs to help patients with diabetes.
