Screening and biosensor-based approaches for lung cancer detection
(2017-10-23) Wang, Lulu; Department of Engineering
Early diagnosis of lung cancer helps to reduce the cancer death rate significantly. Over the years, investigators worldwide have extensively investigated many screening modalities for lung cancer detection, including computerized tomography, chest X-ray, positron emission tomography, sputum cytology, magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy. However, these techniques are not suitable for patients with other pathologies. Developing a rapid and sensitive technique for early diagnosis of lung cancer is urgently needed. Biosensor-based techniques have been recently recommended as a rapid and cost-effective tool for early diagnosis of lung tumor markers. This paper reviews the recent development in screening and biosensor-based techniques for early lung cancer detection.

Powering Underwater Robotics Sensor Networks Through Ocean Energy Harvesting and Wireless Power Transfer Methods : Systematic Review
(2025-09) Nordfjord, Sverrir Jan; Thorsteinsson, Saemundur E.; Andersen, Kristinn
The global demand for innovative underwater applications is increasing, encompassing scientific research, commercial endeavors, and defense operations. A significant challenge these applications face is fulfilling the energy requirements of underwater devices. This challenge extends beyond powering individual devices to include the entire network of underwater robotic sensors. These devices have varying energy needs; some are mobile while others are stationary, and they operate under diverse environmental conditions, such as different depths, temperatures, pressures, currents, and salinity levels. This paper compares the latest state-of-the-art research on powering underwater devices, addressing the challenges and practical considerations. It examines two primary approaches: first, energy harvesting from the natural environment, and second, the use of wireless power transfer (WPT). While energy harvesting methods have been established, their effectiveness greatly depends on the specific environment in which they are deployed, making them less viable as a universal solution. On the other hand, WPT presents its challenges, particularly as its efficiency diminishes with distance. Nonetheless, it remains a promising option, and further research is essential to explore its potential, including the integration of other technologies to develop hybrid solutions that leverage multiple power sources.

Padua Days on Muscle and Mobility Medicine, March 25-29, 2025, Hotel Petrarca, Euganean Thermae, Italy : Program and Abstracts
(2025) Ravara, Barbara; Gargiulo, Paolo; Hood, David; Larsson, Lars; Leeuwenburgh, Christiaan; Maccarone, Maria Chiara; Masiero, Stefano; Perrin, Philippe; Pond, Amber L.; Rosati, Riccardo; Smeriglio, Piera; Sweeney, H. Lee; Tavian, Daniela; Volk, Gerd Fabian; Carraro, Ugo; Department of Engineering
Medium-sized scientific conferences held in hotels large enough to accommodate all participants increase opportunities for constructive discussion during breaks, and for evenings that bring together young and senior experts of basic sciences and clinical specialties. Time for group discussions offer opportunities for new collaborations and for jobs for young researchers. Since 1991 the Padova Muscle Days have offered collaborative opportunities that have matured into innovative multidisciplinary results to the point that it came naturally for us to underline it with a neologism now included in the title of the 2025 event: "Mobility Medicine". It is a discipline which developed naturally when we brought together fragmented areas of knowledge into one meeting. The Padua Days on Muscle and Mobility Medicine 2025 (2025Pdm3) will be hosted at the Hotel Petrarca, Euganean Thermae (Padua, Italy) from 25 to 29 March 2025. The list of unique sessions within the included program and the following Collection of Abstracts testify that it is possible to organize valid countermeasures to the inevitable tendencies towards hyper-specialization that the explosive increase in scientific progress brings. The European Journal of Translational Myology and Mobility Medicine (Ejtm3) will accept typescripts on results presented at the 2025Pdm3. Furthermore, an additional option for publication of full original Articles or Reviews is the Special "New Trends in Musculoskeletal Imaging" of the MDPI Journal Diagnostics, because diagnosis is essential to manage and follow-up neurometabolic- muscular- disorder and the decay of performances in aging. We hope that many will share our dreams and we make them come true at the 2025 Pdm3 Conference.

Neurophysiologie des troubles psychiatriques : construction d'une plateforme nationale d'électroencéphalographie à haute densité
(2025-05-01) Iftimovici, Anton; Hassan, Mahmoud; Alexander, David M.; Dugué, Laura; Gavaret, Martine; Jardri, Renaud; Lefebvre, Aline
The PEPR PROPSY EEG-MIND project aims to develop transdiagnostic EEG biomarkers for psychiatric disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia and mood disorders. It combines experimental tasks (rest, mismatch negativity, sensorimotor, audiovisual) to study brain connectivity and neurophysiological abnormalities at the individual level. The aim is to identify markers of oscillatory anomalies, excitation/ inhibition ratio, wave propagation and connectivity, and then apply normative models to highlight specific neurocognitive profiles associated to the underlying neurophysiology, which could benefit from personalized targeted approaches such as neuromodulation.

Microwave sensors for breast cancer detection
(2018-02-23) Wang, Lulu; Department of Engineering
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among females, early diagnostic methods with suitable treatments improve the 5-year survival rates significantly. Microwave breast imaging has been reported as the most potential to become the alternative or additional tool to the current gold standard X-ray mammography for detecting breast cancer. The microwave breast image quality is affected by the microwave sensor, sensor array, the number of sensors in the array and the size of the sensor. In fact, microwave sensor array and sensor play an important role in the microwave breast imaging system. Numerous microwave biosensors have been developed for biomedical applications, with particular focus on breast tumor detection. Compared to the conventional medical imaging and biosensor techniques, these microwave sensors not only enable better cancer detection and improve the image resolution, but also provide attractive features such as label-free detection. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent important achievements in microwave sensors for biomedical imaging applications, with particular focus on breast cancer detection. The electric properties of biological tissues at microwave spectrum, microwave imaging approaches, microwave biosensors, current challenges and future works are also discussed in the manuscript.
