    In the field of bone tissue engineering, biocomposite materials that stimulate and promote the regeneration of broken bones tissues have become the focus of recent research. This research aims to fabricate a biocomposite material of PMMA and hydroxyapatite (HA) combined with various concentrations of curcumin and EGDMA for bone tissue scaffold engineering. A characterization of the fabricated samples was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as mechanical properties to measure the tensile fracture and compressive strength of the samples. In order to develop antibacterial biomaterials for effective treatment and prevention of osteomyelitis, two typical strains of bacteria that cause osteomyelitis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, were tested using an agar diffusion assay. Our results strongly indicate that the combination of HA and curcumin nanoparticles into PMMA polymer matrix with reinforced EGDMA for the production of biocomposite scaffolds offer significant potential for bone tissue applications, potentially improving their performance and effectiveness. In addition to the mechanical and morphological properties of the biocomposite (PMMA/HA/Curcumin), the composite had excellent antibacterial activity for the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which offers the potential for the application of the composite in bone tissue engineering applications.

  • Powering Implanted Devices Wirelessly Using Spider-Web Coil
    Amal Ibrahim Mahmood, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Mohamed A.A. Eldosoky, Ahmed M. Soliman
    Journal of Techniques, 2023
    Implantable biomedical (IBM) systems and biomedical sensors can improve life quality, identify sickness, monitor biological signs, and replace the function of malfunctioning organs. However, these devices compel continuous battery power, which can be limited by the battery's capacity and lifetime, reducing the device's effectiveness. The wireless power transfer (WPT) technique, specifically magnetic resonator coupling (MRC), was utilized to address the limited battery capacity of IBMs. By using WPT–MRC, the device can obtain power wirelessly, thereby reducing the need for frequent battery replacements and increasing the device's potential. In this research, spider-web coil (S-WC) based MRC–WPT was conceived and carried out experimentally to enhance low-power IBM's rechargeable battery usage time. The presented S-WC–MRC–WPT design uses series–parallel (S–P) configuration to power the IBM. Both transmitter and receiver coils exhibit an operating oscillation frequency of 6.78 MHz. The paper reports on experiments performed in the laboratory to assess the performance of the proposed design in terms of output DC at three different resistive loads and transmission distances with alignment conditions among the receiver and the transmitter coils. Various transfer distances ranging from 10 to 100 mm were investigated to analyze the DC output current (Idc). Specifically, under a 30 V voltage source (VS) and a transfer distance of 20 mm, the DC output current was observed to be 330, 321, and 313 mA at resistive loads of 50, 100, and 150 Ω, respectively.
  • Powering implanted sensors that monitor human activity using spider-web coil wireless power transfer
    Amal Ibrahim Mahmood, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Mohamed A. A. Eldosoky, Ahmed M. Soliman
    Iet Power Electronics, 2023
    Abstract Implantable biomedical devices (IBMD) and biomedical sensors (BMS) enhance patients’ quality of life by monitoring vital signs, detecting diseases, and replacing malfunctioning organs. However, IBMDs and BMSs require battery power to operate, and they have limited battery life. Wireless power transfer (WPT) is one practical way to address this limitation. In this paper, the authors designed and implemented WPT‐based magnetic resonant coupling (MRC) using a spider‐web coil (SWC) (WPT–MRC–SWC) that supplies the proposed IBMD, including accelerometer sensors, the single‐chip microcontroller ATmega 328, and the nRF24L01 wireless protocol, with power. The WPT–MRC–SWC examines acceleration measurements on three knee‐joint axes (X, Y, and Z) in five different positions: sitting, standing, walking, lying down, and jogging. The SWC of transmitters and receivers (implanted) exhibits an operating frequency of 1.78 MHz with a series/parallel (S/P) configuration. The implanted system's data, transmitted outside the human body using nRF24L01, operates at 2.4 GHz. The results reveal that WPT provides 5 V at an air gap of 60 mm between the receiver and transmitter coils, indicating that it can run or charge IBMD batteries without failure. This study validates the effectiveness of the WPT–MRC–SWC by applying it to an actual application.
  • Energy harvesting-based biomedical applications: A review
    Amal Ibrahim Mahmood, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Mohamed A. Eldosoky, Ahmed M. Soliman
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2023
    With the considerable progress in technology and huge revolution in biomedical devices and implants, energy has become a requirement to power these devices and implants. Many energy sources are available in the environment; therefore, the research trend is to obtain an efficient way to harvest and transfer these energies to the target place. The promising solutions to achieve this feat are energy-harvesting (EH) techniques. EH aims to improve the self-powered devices that limit the problem of replacing batteries within a certain lifetime. This study investigates EH as an essential way to provide the biomedical device with the required energy to work properly. In this paper, EH techniques are classified and reviewed. The concept of EH and its various methods are highlighted. In addition, the biomedical applications and related platforms based on EH are reviewed. Moreover, a comparison of state-of-the-art relevant EH applications is presented.
  • Wireless charging for cardiac pacemakers based on class-D power amplifier and a series–parallel spider-web coil
    Amal Ibrahim Mahmood, Sadik Kamel Gharghan, Mohamed A. Eldosoky, Ahmed M. Soliman
    International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, 2023
    Abstract Biomedical implants (BMIs) and biomedical sensors (BMSs) help to improve quality of life, detect diseases, provide monitoring of vital signs, and take over the role of malfunctioning organs. These implants and sensors require continuous battery power to work effectively, but the batteries used are restricted by their limited capacity and lifetime. This research reported here involved the design and implementation of a wireless charging system based on a series–parallel spider‐web coil (WPT‐SP‐SWC), specifically for cardiac pacemakers. The experimental design investigated several important parameters, including air gap, applied source voltage, coil size, and operating frequency. Performance metrics were evaluated in terms of output DC voltage, delivered output power, and power transfer efficiency. The target voltage was 5 V, which is adequate to charge a BMI such as a pacemaker, and three source voltages (5, 15, and 25 V) were tested. The design was examined at six operating frequencies, ranging from 1.78 MHz to 6.78 MHz. The most favorable results were achieved at 1.78 MHz. Power transfer efficiencies at a 10 mm air gap were 95.75% and 92.08% for applied voltages of 5 V and 15 V, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed system was also validated by comparing the findings with previous articles.

    The technology of reconfigurable optical networks (RONs) is growing to be a promising solution to effectively cater to the rapidly increasing traffic generated by the digital society. Optical technology emerges as a viable alternative because to its capacity to offer a substantial bandwidth, little latency, and enhanced overall performance. Nevertheless, it is imperative to effectively manage the physical resources comprising a data center. This study provides an experimental demonstration of the RONs, which is enhanced by a control plane. The implementation relies on the monitoring of real-time network statistics. This enables the execution of various activities, including as network slice provisioning and reconfiguration, assignment of packet priority classes, and dynamic operations. These actions are performed to ensure the attainment of the desired Quality of Service level. The experimental results show the successfully implementation of RONs using Mininet Emulator and sFlow traffic monitoring technology. The results approve that optical datacenter has minimum delay with low OSNR even with long distance and fast switching time.
