Review ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Certain Disinfectants and Antibiotics on the Biofilm Formed by Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated from Medical Devices at the University Hospital Center of Sidi Bel Abbes (Algeria)Ibtissem Kara Terki, Hafida Hassaine, Assia Kara Terki et al.Staphylococcus aureus is one of the species that are most frequently isolated from medical devices. The ability to produce a biofilm is an important step in the pathogenesis of these staphylococci; biofilm formation is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions and also on the antibiotics and disinfectants used in the treatment of infections. In this study, 28 staphylococcus aureus isolated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2019 · 7,171 accessesView PDF Cite

Research NotesOpen accessPhrase in the titleMethods for Universal Authentication of Medical DevicesMark A. Brown, Ilham Alshiraihi, Callie Blase et al.The need for effective means of authentication of medical devices has increased with the growing number of falsified in vitro diagnostics and devices being introduced across world markets. Such substandard products result in negative consequences ranging from harm to patients and/or failure to impart the desired clinical outcomes to a loss of public trust in healthcare providers and regulatory agencies. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 17 Jun 2019 · 7,355 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamics of Mechanisms with Cams Illustrated in the Classical DistributionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The paper presents an original method to determine the general dynamics of rotating cam and lifting, customized to flat-plate mechanism. First, the dynamic cinematic is presented. Then the Lagrange equation is resolved and with an original dynamic model with a degree of freedom with variable internal damping the dynamic analysis of two models is then made. The mechanisms presented, scientifically … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2017 · 8,491 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Hybrid Decision-Making Model for Maintenance Prioritization in Health Care SystemsHassana Mahfoud, Abdellah El Barkany, Ahmed El BiyaaliClinical engineering departments have to establish and continuously regulate a Medical Equipment Management Program (MEMP) to ensure a high reliability and safety of their critical medical devices. Asset criticality assessment is an essential element of reliability centered maintenance and risk-based maintenance, especially when enormous various devices exist and the worst failure consequences are not evident. This paper presents a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2016 · 8,678 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Lightweight and Privacy-Preserving Biometric Authentication Framework for Sustainable IoMT SystemsSaima Anwar Lashari, Mahmood A. Al-Shareeda et al.Biometric authentication provides secure, identity-bound access control for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), crucial for wearable, implantable, and ambient devices. However, the inherent immutability and sensitivity of biometric data pose severe privacy risks in the event of a breach. Furthermore, conventional public-key cryptography is often too computationally intensive for resource-constrained IoMT hardware. To address these challenges, this paper proposes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2026 · 1,924 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStabilization of Non-Surgical Polytrauma in Animal LimbsMarcelo Adrián Santamaría Brunengo, Santiago Ferrándiz BouThis project aims to identify and solve, or at least alleviate, certain problems associated with limb injuries in the veterinary area, where circumstances that are common in the medical sector have simple solutions but in animals represent long, painful processes and in a very large number of cases death, events that are easily solvable but which, due to a lack … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2025 · 4,703 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIoT-Based Technology Solution for Monitoring Small Breed Cardiac Dogs with Heart DiseaseJeremias Evangelista, Carlos Izarra, José Luis Castillo-Sequera, Lenis WongCaring for geriatric small-breed dogs with heart disease from home is a challenge due to the lack of technological tools available in the market, specifically in South America. This lack limits the quality of life of these canine companions and hinders early detection of cardiac problems. Heart disease is common in geriatric dogs of small and medium breeds and the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 10 · 22 Jul 2024 · 5,465 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 774 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid BiGRU-BiLSTM Model for Real-Time ECG Arrhythmia Detection Using Wearable SensorsPrem Narayan Singh, Rajendra Prasad MahapatraAccurate and real-time detection of cardiac arrhythmias is essential for timely medical intervention.
