[1]PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
[2]Dr. N.G.P. Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India

The majority of elderly patients are subjected to hip bone replacement due to dislocation of bone, mechanical failure and infection. The life time of the implant varies from patient to patient depending on their daily physical activity. Once the implant fails, re-operation of hip bone ... Read More

Design and Optimization of Cholesterol Biosensor

N. M. Sundaram[1], M. Alagappan[1]
[1]PSG College of Technology Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India

Cholesterol is an essential lipid for human body. The desired total plasma cholesterol for an individual is less than 5.2 mM (200 mg/dL) and it poses a potential health threat when the level is greater than 6.2 mM (240 mg/dL) [1]. Excessive plasma cholesterol causes poor cardiovascular ... Read More
