According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a low back pain analysis device comprising: a processor; and a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer program instructions, when executed by the processor, perform processing of: obtaining a relationship between a result of a pattern and a low back pain, using the result of the pattern obtained by classifying gravity center movement data acquired by a sensor, which is attached to furniture and acquires the gravity center movement data for a sitting period including a period for which a person is sitting on the furniture, using clustering.

Low back pain analysis device, low back pain analysis method, and program

The present invention provides an apparatus for applying electrical stimulation to cells in a liquid culture medium without using electrodes immersed in the liquid culture medium. This apparatus is an electrical stimulation apparatus A for electrically stimulating cells in a liquid culture medium (). A liquid culture medium vessel () includes: a ring-shaped recess () for holding the liquid culture medium (); and a through hole () formed within the ring-shaped recess (). A magnetic core () is made of a magnetic material and disposed such that a portion thereof is inserted through the through hole () of the liquid culture medium vessel (). An excitation coil () is wound around the magnetic core (). A coil power supply () supplies a varying current to the excitation coil ().

A smaller-sized, more lightweight, and power-saving successive magnetic pulse device is provided. A discharging circuit section K is configured by connecting, in series in a loop, a magnetic therapy pulse coilconfigured to generate an eddy current in a target part, a charging/discharging capacitor, and a switching semiconductor elementconfigured to supply a discharge current from the charging/discharging capacitorto the pulse coil. A step-up transformerincludes a primary-side coilconnected to an AC power supplyand a secondary-side coilconnected to input terminalsof a full-wave rectifying circuit. A control unitis connected to a switching semiconductor elementand controls conduction timing of the switching semiconductor element. The full-wave rectifying circuithas output terminalsconnected to both terminals Pand Pof the charging/discharging capacitor, respectively. An inductoris connected between the output terminalof the full-wave rectifying circuitand the terminal Pof the charging/discharging capacitor

Medical successive magnetic pulse generation device

Disclosed is a method for differentiating human peripheral blood granulocytes which comprises cultivating the granulocytes in the presence of an interferon and acting an immune complex on said granulocytes in the presence of a chemiluminescent substance, and measuring the chemiluminescent amounts induced. It contributes to the screening of patients suffering from serious infectious diseases or a range of inflammations, and is advantageous for monitoring the curative effects for those patients.
