Synonym(s): oscheal. pertaining to scrotum. scrotal abscess. usually the result of infection at the time of castration and absence of drainage from the site. May be accompanied by extensive local cellulitis.
Biomedical engineers combine expertise in biological sciences, medicine and engineering to improve health care. They usually need at least a bachelor's degree in the field.ccording to the Biomedical Engineering Society, some engineers develop artificial organs, such as artificial hearts, and synthetic blood vessels. Other engineers design therapeutic devices, such as systems to deliver insulin to diabetics. Some engineers design ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging systems.
Like machines, though, pieces of the body can break down. This is where the exciting world of biomedical engineering comes in. As a biomedical engineering major, youâll build a foundation for a future that could take many directions. You might look for the chemical signals in the body that warn of cancer. You might invent a new and improved type of prosthetic (artificial) hand. You might refine the robots that doctors are just beginning to use in some surgery. Biomedical engineering majors learn how to use engineering to solve health and medical problems. â[Biomedical engineering] aids many people â¦ That really appealed to me, that I'd have a great impact on society.â Vanessa, senior, biomedical engineering, Case Western Reserve.
