A stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatography method to determine apocynin in nanoparticles.

In this study, we developed and validated a fast, specific, sensitive, precise and stability-indicating high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine the drug apocynin in bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles. Chromatographic analyses were performed on an RP C column and using a photodiode array detector at a wavelength of 276 nm. Mobile phase consisted of a mixture of aceto...

The adaptive drop foot stimulator - Multivariable learning control of foot pitch and roll motion in paretic gait.

Many stroke patients suffer from the drop foot syndrome, which is characterized by a limited ability to lift (the lateral and/or medial edge of) the foot and leads to a pathological gait. In this contribution, we consider the treatment of this syndrome via functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the peroneal nerve during the swing phase of the paretic foot. A novel three-electrodes setup allows...
