If appropriate care is not provided such foot lesions progress to the most severe diabetic foot complication, like infection, gangrene, amputation and even death. Diabetic neuropathy results abnormal planter pressure points under the foot and triggers the tendency of foot ulcer. The aim of this paper is to present the development of a low cost, power efficient, soft, lightweight and simple in-shoe planter pressure measurement system. The system is capable to determine the average static pressure under ball and heel of the foot. The insole is comfortable due to the use of textile pressure sensor and its simple data acquisition method makes operation easy for the users. An experiment with 10 participants with and without diabetes was carried out to observe the outcome of the system. The practical implication of this study is to minimise the damage caused by foot ulcer by determining the pressure abnormality at earliest with a fully developed cost effective design. The system is capable to identify the difference in average planter pressure values in different groups of participants. To monitor the foot health proactively, the proposed system is found to be a useful device and can successfully scan the planter pressure under ball and heel of the foot.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39959733","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}

Wound healing is a complex process that occurs post-injury which involves the revamping of the structure and function of damaged tissues. Scaffolds are engineered tissue structures manufactured using different materials and methods for facilitating the wound healing process. For external wounds, the antimicrobial property and ability to absorb moisture play an important role in the material selection of the scaffold. Among different methods that exist for designing scaffolds, three-dimensional printing has emerged as a promising technique wherein customised scaffolds can be designed. However, the literature on three-dimensional printed dressings is very much limited compared to conventional ones. Therefore, this review specifically focuses on the methods used to design the scaffolds with special emphasis on different three-dimensional printing techniques. It covers the process of external wound healing, different materials used in the fabrication of scaffolds, and their advantages and drawbacks.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39960617","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}

Mode-specific differences in cardiovascular hemodynamics during exercise have previously been identified, but the ability of IC to identify these differences has not been explored. Therefore, we examined the repeatability of cardiovascular hemodynamics within and between exercise modes on the treadmill (TM) and cycle (CY) ergometer. Twenty-one men (age = 21.4 ± 0.5 yr) performed four maximal exercise, two TM and two CY. Within each test, two, five-minute stages were completed corresponding to moderate and vigorous exercise intensities, respectively. Oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured continuously during each test. Hemodynamic measures were obtained via IC, and included cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), end diastolic volume (EDV), ejection fraction (EF), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that within TM exercise, there was a main effect for trial with HR only. There were no main effects for trial within CY exercise. Across exercise modes, there were significant main effects for mode with HR, EDV, and SVR. CY exercise resulted in a higher HR, lower SV and EDV, consistent with previous findings, utilising more criterion and invasive methods. Results suggest that hemodynamics, as assessed by IC, are repeatable within TM and CY exercise. In addition, it appears as though IC is capable of detecting mode-specific differences in hemodynamics, suggesting IC to be a useful assessment tool during exercise.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39959739","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}

To test a synergistic - semirigid device, combining PRICE & electrical stimulation for acute ankle sprains of grades I & II for pain, range of motion and swelling is a case series was the objective. Device was developed using novel concept of synergistic applications of PRICE with electrical stimulation. The joint contour of ankle and specific biomechanical bony surface landmarks were considered. Ethical approval was taken from NTCC committee, AIPT. Recordings were taken from eight patients of acute ankle sprain with - in two days of injury, after getting ethical approval. Elevation to the ankle was provided by keeping the part over the pillow and data was recorded with the help of: 1.VAS scale for pain; 2. Measuring tape; 3. Goniometry. t-test was used to find out the significant difference pre and post the application of device. There was a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.006), edema (p = 0.011), dorsi-flexion (p = 0.015), and plantar flexion (p =0.008).

The current prosthetic limb operation is done by residual muscle contraction, which contributes to the activation of the sensor and the motor. But there are some cons, the amputee does not know how much pressure needs to be exerted for holding various objects. Also, the amputee still has to undergo the surgical procedure.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of 10 different RPDs in shortening the travelling distance of exhaled air by range measurement using the schlieren imaging technique. When a RPD is worn by a person resting in a seated position, the expired air does not exceed the human convective boundary layer (CBL). Instead, the CBL lifts the expired aerosols vertically up. Thus, they have a prolonged travelling time in the surrounding air and become less harmful by several mechanisms of virus content decay. Coughing as well as expiration valves can cause far reaching expiration air clouds that cross horizontally the human CBL by opening leakage airway corridors into different directions. Measured by the range of expired air an FFP2 mask provided high security under all conditions tested. A non-vented full-face mask with two viral filters performed even better because of its airtight fit and the excellent filtering capacity of the viral filters during inspiration and expiration, even during cough manoeuvres.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39640814","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}

Therefore, in the current study, we assessed commercially available face masks namely N95 masks, surgical masks, and cloth masks in order to find out their weakness. In addition, the identification needs of people from a face mask were collected by an online questionnaire. According to the information obtained; we achieved key factors required to design a new type of face mask using the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and the final design was printed. Moreover, the long-term use of herbs in Iranian Traditional Medicine persuaded us to add a humidifier containing aromatic plants essential oils such as Eucalyptus globules Labill. and Rosa damascene Mill. with scientifically proven health benefits such as pain reliever, relaxing properties and antimicrobial activities. We are expected that these aromas would be an effective way to eliminate the problems of individuals suffering from air pollutants, respiratory disorders, and COVID which leads to encouraging more people to use face masks during pandemics or air pollution.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39585655","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}

CAD systems have been developed in order to minimise visual errors, to compensate manual interpretation, and to help medical staff to take decisions swiftly. These systems have been considered as powerful tools for a reliable, automatic, and low-cost monitoring and diagnosis. CAD systems are based on analysis and classification of several physiological signals for detecting and assessing different diseases related to the corresponding organ. The implementation of these systems requires the application of several advanced signal processing techniques. Specifically, in cardiology, CAD systems have achieved promising results in providing an accurate and rapid detection of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Particularly, the number of works on signal processing field for impedance cardiography (ICG) signals starts to grow slowly in recent years. This paper presents a review study of signal processing techniques applied to the ICG signal for the denoising, the analysis, the classification and the characterisation purposes.

The daily requirements of a common man appear to be an impediment in their routine life. Simplest of tasks like walking, eating, bathing, conversing and even eating is of utmost difficulty to them. Moreover, with such difficulties their only way-out seems to be dependency on the privileged lot, which further diminishes their confidence in themselves and gradually makes them even more dependent. The conventional devices that are used by visually impaired people include basic walking sticks which fail at the job in hand by not providing adequate stabilisation on rough surfaces and misguiding the users into unfavourable conditions. There is no way for the person to know what the object in front of them is without hitting it with the stick, which could also lead to accidents. To solve these problems, a smart walking stick is developed which not only recognises the object in front of it using Machine Learning (ML) models, but also gives a voice output to alert its user about the particular object thereby limiting the chance of any and all accidents. The concept is realised in hardware and integrated to the walking stick. This helps in stabilisation of phone and to produce better results in object identification. Further an application is developed to alert the user by converting the obtained image into a voice messages.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42551158","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}
