There are so many facets of medicine and technology and I think we often forget how conveniently available many things have become.  I was reading an article about how important inline flow meters have become in medicine and I realized it was something I had never even thought about.  Yet if I were to become ill I would surely take advantage of these advancements and probably never notice.  Whether it’s the operating room or a patient’s private room there is some kind of non-invasive measuring instrument.

If you consider how pharmaceuticals are manufactured it would be nearly impossible to consistently regulate and measure most liquids used in medicine if not for flow measurement.  It is this process that allows liquids to remain ultra-pure and sterile as well as maintain its required temperature.  In addition, hospitals measure the oxygen with mass air flow sensors which effectively regulate and dispense the oxygen to the patients. 

It’s interesting how these advances in measurement have made such an impact in so many industries and yet it’s easy to take for granted how much is being taken care of behind the scenes.  I know the next time I visit someone in the hospital I will look at the equipment with a totally different appreciation.

Over the last century, engineers and scientists have developed magnets out of various materials which produce a much stronger magnetic effect than those made of steel. Today, many magnets are made of ferrite (ceramic) and neodymium-iron-boron - which is 100 times stronger than steel. These advancements have also brought about resurgence in the popularity of magnetic therapy for pain, particularly in North America, where the magnetic therapy industry boasts annual sales of $300 million in the U.S. alone.

Magnetic therapy devices come in such forms as magnetic bands, patches, cushions and jewelry. They are placed over the joints and muscles to achieve everything from back pain relief to carpal tunnel treatment. There are also several organizations and institutions dedicated to the study of magnetic therapy, such as the Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, and the North American Academy of Magnetic Therapy.

Professional athletes, such as tennis players and golfers have also begun to use magnetic therapy for pain. Products such as magnetic back pads, bracelets and cushions can often be found in professional sports stores.

In addition to humans, magnetic therapy has also been used on animals such as

racehorses and even llamas. Custom-made pads and cushions have been specially suited to fit the animals and provide therapy for their joint and muscle pain.
