Integrating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with insulin pumps offers several advantages. However, current CGM systems lack accuracy and have high costs. To overcome these challenges, a CGM system requires sensor with enhanced sensitivity and low cost. In this study, we develop a planar microwave resonator-based sensor for sensitive glucose detection in human serum and whole blood. We track the variation in the transmission coefficient (<inline-formula><tex-math>$s_{21}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) to deduce changes in glucose concentration. Utilizing combinations of complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) and complementary electric-LC (CELC) structures, the sensor achieves remarkable sensitivity, notably 37.3 mdB/(mg/dL) for glucose in human serum and 1.557 mdB/(mg/dL) for glucose in whole blood. We also evaluate other performance metrics, linearity (<inline-formula><tex-math>$R^{2} = 0.985$</tex-math></inline-formula> for serum and <inline-formula><tex-math>$R^{2} = 0.963$</tex-math></inline-formula> for whole blood), and limit of detection (LOD) of 477.75 μg/dL for serum and 53.84 mg/dL for whole blood. While we initially use an FR-4 rigid substrate in our proof-of-concept demonstration, we also investigate the feasibility of employing a flexible polyimide substrate. Our flexible glucose sensor shows an order of magnitude better performance than our rigid sensor.","PeriodicalId":29955,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology","volume":"9 2","pages":"221-228"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fungal tissues are a biodegradable material that can be cultivated in mass quantities; potentially making them sustainable materials for biological sensors or as a communication medium. Because the interactions of fungal tissues with communications signals are not thoroughly explored, a baseline assessment of the signal transmission capabilities of mat forming filamentous fungus, <italic>Curvularia lunata (<italic>C. lunata) was performed. In this paper, the band-pass characteristics of <italic>C. lunata were assessed through a frequency sweep from 1 Hz–5 MHz. The potential data transmission rates through a raw bit error rate analysis using a pseudorandom bit sequence between 1–1,000 kbps were evaluated. The passband for the tissue was between 1–500 kHz, characterizing it as a low-pass filter. Bit streams below 10 kbps had an error rate of <10%>500 kbps. The results suggest that this fungal tissue could serve as a low-speed data transmission medium specifically for low-pass signals related to general human health such as ECG, EEG, EMG signals as well as temperature and glucose monitoring.

Among the wide application range, an innovative treatment for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is urgent. The European project RISEUP proposes a novel device development, that will provide highly intense microsecond pulsed electric fields (μsPEFs) to stimulate stem cells differentiation towards neuronal phenotypes, through an electroporation-driven process, and regenerate the lesioned tissue. Within RISEUP the use of advanced computational models is crucial to predict the cellular functional response through microdosimetry studies. <bold>Technology or Method: a multiphysic neuro-functionalized computational model has been built, using a realistic induced Neuronal Stem Cell (iNSC) model (a iNSC digital twin), to predict the effect of μsPEFs stimulation on both neuronal response and pore formation dynamics. <bold>Results: considering a 100-μsPEF and an intensity of 30 kV/m, the pore density can reach up to 1014 m−2 over the plasma membrane, with a consequent hyperpolarization and a phase shift of the neuronal firing. Whereas, where the pore density remains at its default value 109 m−2, the neuronal response is slightly affected in spikes frequency and shape, but still maintaining its firing functions. <bold>Conclusions: this study provides an innovative multiphysics implementation on a realist 2D iNSC model, that has demonstrated the 100-μsPEF influence on the neurodynamic response. <bold>Clinical or Biological Impact: the results obtained give powerful insights for further <italic>in vitro and <italic>in vivo experiments, that will validate the use of the device proposed within RISEUP for SCI regeneration.","PeriodicalId":29955,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology","volume":"9 2","pages":"173-182"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study systematically evaluates a novel grid design to provide signal enhancement for patient imaging. The potential of the proposed metasurface grid design was analyzed regarding its unit cell density and compared with stripe type metasurfaces. The effects were examined in-depth by numerical simulation, workbench measurements, and MRI experiments at 3 Tesla. Differences in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using either the integrated body or spine coils were evaluated, as well as the influence of the metasurface orientation. The grid design provided a favorable eigenmode usable for MR imaging, where it has shown significantly less dependence on orientation, compared to stripe metasurfaces. With the densest grid, more than 26% higher SNR than its most spaced design was achieved. Combining the metasurface for imaging with the spine coil proved to be superior to the body coil. Applying the metasurface for knee imaging, the SNR was locally enhanced by more than 10-fold compared to the scan with only the spine coil. The high-density grid metasurfaces provided benefits compared to the multitude of designs evaluated. This work provides a comprehensive foundation for future developments of metasurfaces for MRI, whose advantages may be exploited e.g. in the domain of interventional radiology.","PeriodicalId":29955,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology","volume":"9 2","pages":"198-205"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10685136","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heterodyne architecture of the radar transceiver resolves the flicker noise. However, it still suffers from other noise components. Moreover, the presence of clutter also significantly introduces distortions in the sensing results. In this paper, an extended Noise-Immune Motion Sensing (ENIMS) technique is proposed to tackle the noise and clutters simultaneously in the low intermediate-frequency (IF) CW radar. It works by synthesizing <italic>I/Q signals at the IF peak of the spectra of the sequentially divided signal segments. Each segment generates one pair of <italic>I/Q data points and thus improves the signal-to-noise ratio (<italic>SNR). During this process, clutters are also converted into DC components of the <italic>I/Q signals. The circle-fitting-based DC compensation technique can thus be used to resolve the clutter issues. High-accurate displacement motion is then reconstructed with the DC-compensated <italic>I/Q signals. The theory and noise performance analysis are presented. Simulation and experiments show that, with the proposed technique, the <italic>SNR is improved by around 34 dB. Mechanical vibration as small as 90 <italic>μm and the subject person's breath and heartbeat at 3.2 m away from the 5. 8 GHz radar were detected under cluttered office environments with a small transmitting power of only 10 <italic>μW, whereas the conventional methods fail in the same cases.","PeriodicalId":29955,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology","volume":"9 1","pages":"90-100"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143455299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After more than two decades of research into MBI and several published clinical trials, challenges remain before the modality can be used clinically. Existing estimates of the diagnostic specificity are relatively low, between 20–65%. As a result of the limited specificity of the technique, existing radar-based image reconstruction algorithms have not demonstrated sufficient accuracy for breast cancer diagnosis.
