Manufacturing Techniques

Several wearable devices for physiological and activity monitoring are found on the market, but most of them only allow spot measurements. However, the continuous detection of physiological parameters without any constriction in time or space would be useful in several fields such as healthcare, fitness, and work. This can be achieved with the application of textile technologies for sensorized garments, where the sensors are completely embedded in the fabric. The complete integration of sensors in the fabric leads to several manufacturing techniques that allow dealing with both the technological challenges entailed by the physiological parameters under investigation, and the basic requirements of a garment such as perspiration, washability, and comfort. This review is intended to provide a detailed description of the textile technologies in terms of materials and manufacturing processes employed in the production of sensorized fabrics. The focus is pointed at the technical challenges and the advanced solutions introduced with respect to conventional sensors for recording different physiological parameters, and some interesting textile implementations for the acquisition of biopotentials, respiratory parameters, temperature and sweat are proposed. In the last section, an overview of the main garments on the market is depicted, also exploring some relevant projects under development.

Comprehensive Study

Blockchain is considered to be a disruptive core technology. Although many researchers have realized the importance of blockchain, but the research of it is still emerging. It is the record-keeping technology behind bitcoin and is one of the hottest and fastest growing skills in the IT sector today. It serves as an immutable ledger which allows transactions to take place in a decentralized man Blockchain-based applications are rising up, covering numerous fields including finance, healthcare, product management, Internet of Things (IoT), and many more. However, there are still some challenges of blockchain technology such as scalability and security problems which need to be overcome. This paper comprises of a comprehensive study of Blockchain technology. We have included here a deep dive into how blockchains work, its architecture, consensus and various applications. Furthermore, technical challenges are briefly listed.

Combined dorsal and ventral rhizotomy is an effective treatment for patients with concurrent spasticity and dystonia, with the preponderance of complaints relating to their lower extremities. This operative approach provides definitive relief of hypertonia and should be considered after less-invasive techniques have been exhausted. Previously, the surgery has been described through an L1–S1 laminoplasty. In this series, 7 patients underwent a conus-level laminectomy for performing a lumbar dorsal and ventral rhizotomy. Technical challenges included identifying the appropriate-level ventral roots and performing the procedure in children with significant scoliosis. Techniques are described to overcome these obstacles. The technique was found to be safe, with no infections, CSF leaks, or neurogenic bladders.
