Abstract

Cuts, diabetic ulcers, and pressure sores are examples of chronic skin wounds that pose a serious healthcare danger because of their delayed healing rates. This problem emphasizes the necessity of creating noninvasive, economical, and successful wound treatment plans. Conventional treatments, such as skin grafting, negative pressure wound therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, have demonstrated effectiveness; nevertheless, they are frequently costly, intrusive, and have possible side effects. On the other hand, blue light treatment has become a viable substitute due to its antimicrobial characteristics and capacity to encourage cellular restoration. However, there is a crucial gap in the development of a portable, noninvasive, and cost-effective photobiomodulation device for wound treatment and monitoring, despite its demonstrated potential in wound healing. This work aims to address this gap by creating a novel blue light therapy tool specifically suited for wound healing. The gadget allows for controlled blue light exposure and real-time temperature monitoring to minimize overheating. It has a portable arm housing with integrated blue light strips, a temperature sensor, and an integrated fan. An STM 32 microcontroller powers the system’s pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, which modifies light intensity and therapy duration in response to conditions unique to each wound. This novel strategy seeks to improve the effectiveness of wound healing, lower the likelihood of adverse effects, and offer patients and healthcare providers a workable alternative that is noninvasive, inexpensive, and easy to use.

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between osteoporosis, body mass index (BMI), and the risk of femur fractures using computational modeling. Osteoporosis is a silent metabolic disorder that depletes bone density and structure, significantly increasing the risk of fractures, particularly in weight-bearing bones such as the femur. To analyze the impact of mechanical stress on osteoporotic bones, COMSOL Multiphysics was utilized to simulate stress distribution in a femur under varying BMI conditions, providing valuable insights into how BMI influences bone health and fracture risk. A three-dimensional (3D) femur model was designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software, with specific material properties assigned for both healthy and osteoporotic bones. Finite element analysis was conducted by applying different load conditions, representing body weight, on the femur head. The results highlighted stress distribution and deformation patterns, identifying regions most prone to fracture. The findings demonstrate that while higher BMI typically correlates with increased bone density, it also leads to greater deformation in osteoporotic bones under stress, emphasizing the complex interplay between BMI and bone strength. These insights underscore BMI’s critical role in fracture risk management. Future research should incorporate advanced fracture mechanics models and clinical data to enhance predictive accuracy and develop targeted strategies for fracture prevention in osteoporotic patients.
