In this context, early disease identification has become crucial in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. This paper begins by outlining the pivotal role of mammography in the early diagnosis of breast cancer, comparing the structural similarities and differences between normal and diseased breast tissues. This comparison underscores the primary role of mammography in the diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. Additionally, our paper provides an overview of fundamental concepts related to breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and prediction systems. It delves into the latest research developments in auxiliary diagnostic detection, examination, and risk prediction systems associated with breast cancer. Our objective is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the role of computer-aided detection, diagnosis, and prediction systems in breast diseases, fostering further development and application. This work aims to explore and drive innovation in the field, enhance early detection rates of breast diseases, and guide readers towards novel directions, thus contributing to female healthcare management.
Open AccessThe ability to interpret vibration signals in the biomedical field offers a promising path toward continuous improvement of medical devices. By examining the revolutions per minute profile, analysts can identify any deviations or anomalies in the vibration patterns at different speeds. This information can help identify potential faults or imbalances within the rotating machinery. With a comprehensive understanding of the revolutions per minute profile, analysts can make informed decisions regarding maintenance and repairs. Besides, the analysis of the order of vibration signals represents an essential pillar of biomedical engineering, bringing an innovative and in-depth perspective to the development of medical devices, and contributing to the continued advancement of medical technology and healthcare. Integrating vibration analysis into preventive maintenance practices can help ensure the reliability of medical equipment, reduce potential risks to patients, and contribute to the advancement of healthcare quality.
Open AccessWith the continuous advancement in medical device technology, minimally invasive surgery has become the cornerstone of modern surgical practices.

This paper aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of electrosurgical units, with a particular focus on standard procedures in gastrointestinal endoscopic electrosurgery. The goal of this review is to provide a more profound and comprehensive insight into endoscopic electrosurgery for medical practitioners and patients. Through the comprehensive study, it is anticipated to serve as a guide and reference for improving surgical outcomes, reducing patient discomfort, and simplifying the tasks of healthcare professionals.
Open AccessForced-damped vibrations are pivotal in various medical applications, significantly contributing to the examination of tissue mechanical properties, development of medical devices, and understanding of biological systems’ complexities. These vibrations represent the dynamic behavior of systems subjected to external forces and damping, where an external force continues to act, and damping determines the rate of energy dissipation. Advanced exploration of damping properties has led to the creation of novel technologies and methods, enhancing our ability to probe and manipulate the complex mechanical dynamics of biological tissues.
Open AccessSince the 1960s, anastomosis instruments have become integral in gastrointestinal procedures, employing Titanium (Ti) alloy staples. These staples, however, remain permanently in the body, potentially inciting inflammatory reactions, compromising computed tomography scans, and causing diagnostic inaccuracies. This scenario underscores the imperative for biodegradable surgical staples, spurring research into materials that exhibit both superior biodegradability and mechanical integrity. Current investigations are focused on Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), and their alloys for their exemplary biodegradability, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, making them promising candidates for gastrointestinal anastomosis. This review encapsulates the latest advancements in biodegradable surgical staples, emphasizing material and structural enhancements. It details the mechanical attributes of wires intended for staple fabrication, the corrosion dynamics across varied environments such as in vitro immersion solutions and in vivo implantation sites and the impact of structural refinements on staple biodegradability. Additionally, it contrasts the benefits and limitations of Mg-based and Zn-based staples and offers insights into the potential and hurdles in developing biodegradable surgical staples, thereby fostering further exploration in this field.
