Skin diseases can arise from infections, allergies, genetic factors, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, or environmental triggers such as sun damage and pollution. Some skin diseases, such as Actinic Keratosis and Psoriasis, can be…
Heat generated from plasmonic nanoparticles can be utilized in plasmonic photothermal therapy. A combination of near-infrared laser and metallic nanoparticles are compelling for the treatment of brain cancer, due to their efficient…
The Persistent Photoconductivity (PPC) effect was studied in individual tin oxide (SnO2) nanobelts as a function of temperature, in air, helium, and vacuum atmospheres, and low temperature Photoluminescence measurements were carried out to…
Ultra-deep optical surveys have reached unprecedented depths, facilitating the study of faint galactic structures. However, the ultraviolet bands, crucial for stellar population studies, remain essentially unexplored at these depths. We…
Employing eco-friendly techniques like cold plasma (CP) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation provides innovative approaches to enhance the sprout quality and productivity of alfalfa. This study explores the effects of CP and UV radiation on the…
Microbes and pathogens play a detrimental role in healing wounds, causing infections like impetigo through bodily fluids and skin and entering the bloodstream through the wounds, thereby hindering the healing process and tissue…
Induction of thermal damage to tissue through delivery of microwave energy is frequently applied in surgery to destroy diseased tissue such as cancer cells. Minimization of unwanted harm to healthy tissue is still achieved subjectively, and…
Lockdowns imposed in most of the countries were lifted following a decline in the COVID-19 cases towards May-June 2020. A recent surge (second wave) in the COVID-19 cases in Europe and other temperate countries as compared to the tropical…
Dielectric spectra of human blood reveal a rich variety of dynamic processes. Achieving a better characterization and understanding of these processes not only is of academic interest but also of high relevance for medical applications as,…
In this article we detail the prototype development of the Personal Ultraviolet Respiratory Germ Eliminating Machine(PUR$\diamond$GEM) to safely, efficiently and economically, continuously disinfect inhaled/exhaled air using Ultraviolet…
Mechanical pain (or mechanical algesia) can both be a vital mechanism warning us for dangers or an undesired medical symptom important to mitigate. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the different mechanisms of this type of pain is…
We describe an experimental setup developed aiming to irradiate samples under UV radiation for accelerated test for solar effects according to the relevant ECSS-ESA standards. This facility has been already used for projects belonging to…
Skin dose in radiotherapy is a key issue for reducing patient side effects, but dose calculations in this high-gradient region remains a challenge. To support radiation therapists and medical physicist in their decisions, a computational…
Skin diseases affect over a third of the global population, yet their impact is often underestimated. Automating skin disease classification to assist doctors with their prognosis might be difficult. Nevertheless, due to efficient feature…
Know thy star, know thy planet,... especially in the ultraviolet (UV). Over the past decade, that motto has grown from mere wish to necessity in the M dwarf regime, given that the intense and highly variable UV radiation from these stars is…
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising modality for inactivation of antibiotic resistant bacteria, relying on the activation of a photosensitizer (PS) by light of a specific wavelength. This process results in the…
Thermal ablation procedures, such as high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), are often used to eliminate tumors by minimally invasively heating a focal region. For this task, real-time 3D temperature…
Vacuum thermal treatments (baking) are known to improve the superconducting properties of the RF surface layer of niobium cavities, and are employed as a last processing step to increase their efficiency determined by intrinsic quality…
In this paper, a novel approach for automatic segmentation and classification of skin lesions is proposed. Initially, skin images are filtered to remove unwanted hairs and noise and then the segmentation process is carried out to extract…
Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) has been widely used in biomedicine research, which allows users to observe objectives without staining or killing them. One important related research is to employ PCM to monitor live cells. How to segment…
