Development of additive technologies and biocompatible materials facilitated their use in the custom-made implants manufacture. Verification of custommade implants manufactured using the additive manufacturing technologies is the key task to be fulfilled prior to the clinical application of an implant. It consists of parameters verification within individual steps, from a software design, throu...

Pulse oximeters have become standard equipment in both biomedical education and clinical settings. Since the operational principles of a pulse oximeter are straightforward, and since the analysis of these sensor data require basic computational and mathematical toolsets, this type of device is well suited to hands-on experiences geared toward both undergraduate and graduate students. However, t...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a mechanical engineering field for analyzing fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated phenomena, using computer-based simulation. CFD is a widely adopted methodology for solving complex problems in many modern engineering fields. The merit of CFD is developing new and improved devices and system designs, and optimization is conducted on existing equipment ...

An increasing interest has arisen in research focused on metallic and organic ions that play crucial roles in both physiological and pathological metabolic processes. Current methods for the observation of trace elements in biological tissues at microscopic spatial resolution often require equipment with high complexity. We demonstrate a novel approach with an all-optical design and multi-eleme...

RNA detection has become an integral part of current biomedical research. Up to now, the reverse transcription-PCR has been the most practical method to detect mRNA targets. However, RNA detection by reverse transcription-PCR requires sophisticated equipment and it is highly sensitive to contamination with genomic DNA. Here we report a new isothermal reaction to simultaneously amplify and detec...

There is a broad consensus that 21st century health care will require intensive use of information technology to acquire and analyze data and then manage and disseminate information extracted from the data. No area is more data intensive than the intensive care unit. While there have been major improvements in intensive care monitoring, the medical industry, for the most part, has not incorpora...

Digital Differentiator is a vital signal processing tool. It is found in many applications, from low frequency biomedical equipment to high frequency radars. New developing fields such as touch screen tablets and online signature verification also has digital differentiators as basic building block. A approach is proposed to design approximately linear phase infinite-impulse-response (IIR) digi...

One of the main issues of nanotechnology is producing materials with new properties. Nanotechnology, as a powerful tool, has the ability to create evolution in the agricultural system and food–medicinal industries across the world. Producing a high-performance material from reclaimed cellulose material will increase motivation to recycle these materials at all phases of paper production and rem...

Water sorption/desorption behaviour of the materials is very relevant for their application in pharmaceutical, food, sensor, electronics, fuel cell and biomedical fields. The sorption/desorption equilibrium, which is related with the plasticity and mechanical properties of the materials, as well as the kinetics of water sorption/ desorption, which is related to the transport properties, are int...

Extreme point-of-care (POC) testing for infections, as performed (endured) in low-resource settings, developing countries, tropical areas, or in conditions following emergency crises or natural disasters, must be undertaken under environmental, logistic, and societal conditions which impose a significant deal of stress on local human populations and healthcare providers. For disease diagnostics...
