Abstract: An electronic stimulation system has a casing; electronics inside the casing a first detector arranged to sense whether a human being is breathing or not, a stimulation device arranged to receive a control signal from said electronics and to provide stimuli to a nasal philtre or a human nasopharynx. The electronics generate the control signal in dependence on the breathing signal and the system has a holding device for attaching the stimulation device to the nose.

Abstract: A method for providing a resuscitating treatment of a human being, which has the following actions sensing human muscle activity, human breathing activity, human neural activity or human cerebral activity, determining whether the human being is in a state of developing apnoea by a processing unit based on the sensing, provoking an induced aspiration reflex by a resuscitating stimulation of a respiratory area of a human brain stem by providing a stimulus with a stimulation device to a location distant from the respiratory area of the human brain stem upon the processing unit determining the state of developing apnoea, the location being a nasal filter of the human being or a nasopharyngeal area of the human being.

Abstract: Cardiovertor/defibrillator with electronics (12) that receives a detection signal from a detection device (16) indicating whether a heart of a mammal is fibrillating, processes the detection signal by running a program and generates a control signal for a stimulation device (17) based on the detection signal in order to allow the stimulation device (17) to provoke defibrillation of the heart by a resuscitating stimulation in the area of the pharynx of the mammal. The apparatus has a nose plug.

Abstract: The invention relates to a resuscitation device for humans. The resuscitation device is designed to provide resuscitating stimulation of the respiratory area of the human brain stem, preferably from a location distant from said respiratory area. The invention further relates to a method for providing a resuscitating treatment to a human. Parameters are measured by a number of sensor means and processed by a processing means for providing a response by a number of stimulation means. The stimulation means are electrical, mechanical or chemical stimulation means.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the detection of polymorphisms in a nucleic acid sample (e.g. blood, sperm, saliva, cells, . . . ). To enhance the efficiency and the reliability of the known methods (e.g. DGGE, SSCP and TGGE) the amplification process (e.g. PCR) preceding the actual detection step is performed in or on the polyacrylamide gel. Multiple gradients (of chemical denaturants, thermal denaturants and of porosity of the gel matrix) are used for the separation of DNA fragments, by zone electrophoresis on gel slabs or by capillary electrophoresis.
