Wearable UWB Antenna-Based Bending and Wet Performances for Breast Cancer Detection

This paper proposed integrating the communication system on the garment,which can be utilized to detect breast cancer at an early stage by using an ultra-wideband(UWB)wearable antenna.Breast cancer is an abnormal cell that is located in the breast tissue.Early detection of breast cancer plays an important role,and it helps in the long term for all women.The proposed UWB wearable antenna successfully operates at 3.1-10.6 GHz under an acceptable reflection coefficient of−10 dB.The fabricated wearable antenna was made from Shieldit Super and felt both conductive and nonconductive wearable materials.Few measurement studies of bending angles have been carried out that covered 2°,4°,6°,8°,and 10°.In addition,the performance of UWB antennas in wet environments is studied in four stages:in water,instantly wet,nearly dry,and entirely dry.There is good agreement between the measured and simulated outcomes.Based on the experimental results,the proposed antenna could be helpful for a home breast cancer detection system.

Decagonal C-Shaped CSRR Textile-Based Metamaterial for Microwave Applications

This paper introduces a decagonal C-shaped complementary splitring resonator(CSRR)textile-based metamaterial(MTM).The overall size of the proposed sub-wavelength MTM unit cell is 0.28λ0×0.255λ0 at 3 GHz.Its stopband behaviour was first studied prior analysing the negative index properties of the proposed MTM.It is worth noting that in this work a unique way the experiments were completed.For both simulations and measurements,the proposed MTM exhibited negative-permittivity and negative-refractive index characteristics with an average bandwidth of more than 3 GHz(considering 1.7 to 8.2 GHz as the measurements were carried out within this range).In simulations,the MTM exhibited negative-permittivity properties within the range of 1.7 to 7.52 GHz and 7.96 to 8.2 GHz;and negative-refractive index from 1.7 to 2.23 GHz and 2.33 to 5.09 GHz and 5.63 to 7.45 GHz.When measured from 1.7 to 8.2 GHz,negative-permittivity and negative-refractive index characteristics are exhibited throughout an average bandwidth of more than 3 GHz.Similarly,the transmission coefficient attained in simulations and measurements indicated about 3 GHz of bandwidth,from 1.7 to 3.88 GHz and from 6.68 to 7.4 GHz.The satisfactory agreement between simulations and experiments indicates the potential of the proposed MTM for microwave applications.

Clinical application and research progress of extracellular slow wave recording in the gastrointestinal tract

The physiological function of the gastrointestinal(GI)tract is based on the slow wave generated and transmitted by the interstitial cells of Cajal.Extracellular myoelectric recording techniques are often used to record the characteristics and propagation of slow wave and analyze the models of slow wave transmission under physiological and pathological conditions to further explore the mechanism of GI dysfunction.This article reviews the application and research progress of electromyography,bioelectromagnetic technology,and high-resolution mapping in animal and clinical experiments,summarizes the clinical application of GI electrical stimulation therapy,and reviews the electrophysiological research in the biliary system.

Is Victory over Pancreatic Cancer Possible, with the Help of Tuned Non-Invasive Physiotherapy? A Case Study Says Yes

Could the conventional treatment of pancreatic cancer effectively be supplemented by a low level and non-invasive bio-electromagnetic treatment? A case study, based on the regular exposure of a patient to an electromagnetic field, EMF, emitted by a Rife-Bare technology device, suggests so. The plasma confined in a tube of this apparatus emitted radiofrequency solitons. These low level emissions were modulated by an “audio” frequency generator, pre-programmed for the treatment of this disease. After less than two months of exposure to these EMFs, the tumor completely disappeared in approximately two weeks. The explanation of the action mechanism includes a physics aspect relating to the properties of the dissipative soliton which is emitted-absorbed by any non-linear system, a biophysics aspect relating to the coherent structuring of the cellular bath by incident solitons, and finally a biological aspect. The latter is characterized by a critical resonance frequency leading the “unicellular” tumoral cell to adopt a self-destructive behavior. On the other hand EMFs with low level solitons have no effect on the tissues of complex multicellular organisms.

Characteristic parameters of electromagnetic signals from a human heart system

The electromagnetic field of a human heart system is a bioelectromagnetic field. Electrocardiography （ECG） and magnetocardiography （MCG） are both carriers of electromagnetic information about the cardiac system, and they are nonstationary signals. In this study, ECG and MCG data from healthy subjects are acquired; the MCG data are captured using a high-Tc radio frequency superconducting quantum interference device （HTc rf SQUIDs） and the QRS complexes in these data are analysed by the evolutionary spectrum analysis method. The results show that the quality factor Q and the central frequency fz of the QRS complex evolutionary spectrum are the characteristic parameters （CHPs） of ECG and MCG in the time-frequency domain. The confidence intervals of the mean values of the CHPs are estimated by the Student t distribution method in mathematical statistics. We believe that there are threshold ranges of the mean values of Q and fz for healthy subjects. We have postulated the following criterion： if the mean values of CHPs are in the proper ranges, the cardiac system is in a normal condition and it possesses the capability of homeostasis. In contrast, if the mean values of the CHPs do not lie in the proper ranges, the homeostasis of the cardiac system is lacking and some cardiac disease may follow. The results and procedure of MCG CHPs in the study afford a technological route for the application of HTc rf SQUIDs in cardiology.
