Abstract

The use of pulse wave analysis may assist cardiologists in diagnosing patients with vascular diseases. However, it is not common in clinical practice to interpret and analyze pulse wave data and utilize them to detect the abnormalities of the signal. This paper presents a novel approach to the clinical application of pulse waveform analysis using the wavelet technique by decomposing the normal and pathology signal into many levels. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposes the carotid arterial pulse wave (CAPW) signal, and the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) creates images of the decomposed signal. The wavelet analysis technique in this work aims to strengthen the medical benefits of the pulse wave. The obtained results show a clear difference between the signal and the images of the arterial pathologies in comparison with normal ones. The certain distinct that were achieved are promising but further improvement may be required in the future.

Abstract

Diabetes is becoming more prevalent over the world, with approximately 7.8 million new cases diagnosed each year. The most crucial aspect of diabetes therapy is frequent glucose monitoring; the one and only way diabetics can maintain healthy blood sugar standard is through diet and exercise. Blood glucose monitoring techniques have gone through massive transformations over the past few years. Non-invasive procedures outperform invasive and minimally invasive ones in terms of inconvenience, pain, and recovery time. Thus, this review aims to explore the latest tools for non-invasive glucose monitoring sensors and techniques. The study showed that non-invasive techniques such as optical and non-optical techniques are better than invasive techniques in terms of accuracy, reliability, repeatability, and ease of use. The study also uncovered that the photoacoustic spectroscopy and ultrasonic techniques have room for further development and advancement considering their flexible nature. The work also proved that the ultrasonic technique is the most promising approach, in conclusion.

Abstract

The development of new technologies has helped tremendously in delivering timely, appropriate, acceptable, and reasonably priced medical treatment. Because of developments in nanoscience, a new class of nanostructures has emerged. Nanomaterials, because of their small size, display exceptional physio-chemical capabilities such as enhanced absorption and reactivity, increased surface area, molar extinction coefficients, tunable characteristics, quantum effects, and magnetic and optical properties. Researchers are interested in carbon-based nanomaterials due to their unique chemical and physical properties, which vary in thermodynamic, biomechanical, electrical, optical, and structural aspects. Due to their inherent properties, carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes, graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and carbon nanofibers (CNFs), have been intensively studied for biomedical applications. This article is a review of the most recent findings about the development of carbon-based nanomaterials for use in biosensing, drug delivery, and cancer therapy, among other things.

Abstract

Tissue engineering is a cutting-edge discipline that brings together scientific and health-related, biological, and engineering principles in order to build tissue-engineered constructions able to restore or sustain the physiological properties of native tissue, or to marginally enhance those properties. This field is called "regenerative medicine". By constructing structures that are analogous to the extracellular matrix, it will be possible to improve the transmission of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the release of toxins during the process of tissue healing, all while simultaneously maturing tissues. Over the past few years, various studies have concentrated on looking at nanostructures in three dimensions with the goal of using them in tissue engineering. In this group of methods, electrospinning stands out as one of the most successful options. Over the course of the past few decades, a great number of nanofibrous scaffolds have been produced for the purpose of restoring and repairing damaged tissue. In this article, the engineering of new tissues using nanofibrous textures as scaffolds are reviewed. In addition, recent developments in tissue regeneration and the difficulties related to electrospinning are discussed in this article, along with their respective solutions.

Abstract

The prevalence of melanoma of the skin has seen a significant rise in recent decades, constituting approximately one-third of all diagnosed cancer cases. Melanoma, the most fatal variant among cutaneous malignancies, exhibits a 4% probability of occurrence over an individual’s lifetime. The increasing incidence and mortality rates of skin cancer impose a substantial burden on healthcare resources and the economy. In recent years, several optical modalities, including dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography, multiphoton excited fluorescence imaging, and dermatofluorescence, have been extensively studied and utilized to improve the non-invasive diagnosis of skin cancer. This review article provides an analysis of the approach employed in the recently developed optical non-invasive diagnostic technologies. It explores the clinical uses of these techniques, while also examining their respective advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, the paper explores the possibility for additional advancements in these technologies in the future.
