IIT Madras develops 3D-Printed Face Implants for patients suffering from Black Fungus along with Zoriox Innovation Labs

#Right2Face initiative aims to help poor patients with implants developed using unique algorithms that uses a patient’s MRI/CT data to print custom implants using an indigenously-built laser powder bed fusion facility 

CHENNAI, 26th December: Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) researchers have developed 3D-printed face implants for patients suffering from Black Fungus, which has been reported in COVID-19 patients as well as those with uncontrolled diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other medical conditions. Around 50 implants have already been done on patients from economically-weaker sections. 

The Institute has partnered with ZorioX Innovation labs, a start-up founded by Dental Surgeons in Chennai, to implement this initiative, which is based on metal 3D Printing or additive manufacturing. 

The outbreak of black fungus disease, also known as ‘Mucormycosis’, has been a cause of great concern in India. One of the most devastating effects of this disease is the loss of facial features, which can have a profound impact on the patient’s mental and emotional well-being. 

Therefore, the reconstruction of faces lost due to black fungus is the need of the hour. Reports suggest that about 60,000 mucormycosis cases have been registered in India post-COVID. 

The fungus responsible for mucormycosis can invade the tissues of the face, causing necrosis and disfigurement. In severe cases, patients may lose their nose, eyes, or even their entire face. Furthermore, the loss of vital organs can affect a patient's ability to breathe, eat, and communicate, making it difficult to perform everyday activities. 

Reconstructive surgery is a viable solution for patients who have lost their facial features due to black fungus disease. These procedures involve the reconstruction of the nose, eyes, and other facial structures using a variety of techniques, such as skin grafts, tissue expansion, and microvascular surgery. These procedures can help restore the patient's appearance and function, allowing them to lead a more normal life.

However, patient-specific implants and procedures are expensive, rendering them inaccessible for people from weaker sections. 

Elaborating on this technology developed by IIT Madras, Dr. Murugaiyan Amirthalingam, Associate Professor, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, IIT Madras, said, “Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has already emerged as a viable and cost effective, net shape manufacturing process for low volume production of complex body implants with specific custom-made designs. Extensive research activities are already being carried out in IIT Madras to commercialise this technology for printing patient-specific implants in stainless steel, Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo alloys.”

Dr. Murugaiyan Amirthalingam added, “Using unique in-house algorithms, a patient’s MRI/CT data is converted to printable CAD format and custom implants are printed from medical-grade titanium using an indigenously-built laser powder bed facility in IIT Madras. This #Right2Face initiative aims to help poor and needy patients with patient-specific custom maxillofacial implants to treat black fungus patients.”

Speaking about this initiative, Dr. Karthik Balaji, CEO, ZorioX Innovation labs, said, “Post-Covid there has been an increase in number of black fungus cases. To save the lives of the patient, a lot of facial bones had to be removed. These patients are mostly breadwinners of the family and are now confined within four walls because of their facial deformity. #Right2face movement is aimed to help these needy patients in association with the oral and maxillofacial surgeons to restore the faces and give them back their smile. ”  

What makes this initiative unique is that IIT Madras team is able to print the implant exactly to match the patients’ face. The Researchers get the patients’ CT Data from which we design a specific implant that will suit the patient perfectly.  IIT Madras is among the first to print such implants for black fungus patients specifically. 

IIT Madras researchers are also identifying patients who cannot afford costly imported implants and giving these implants free of cost under the campaign called #Right2Face. 

Zoriox Innovations Labs, with whom IIT Madras has a tie-up, takes part of the surgical procedures while IIT Madras handles the Design and 3D Printing. The implants are made of medical-grade titanium, which are commonly used for reconstructive procedures.

IIM Sirmaur launches a course that helps students manage work and life

This year IIM Sirmaur launched a new course, "Managing Life and Business: Perspectives of a C.F.O.''. In the current academic year, sixty-three students of IIM Sirmaur elected to attend the course. The course was offered by Prof. P. Sanjay, a faculty at IIM Sirmaur. Along with the course objective of providing a global outlook on corporate governance systems, the course aimed to sensitize the students to lead a happier and stress-free life which helps in terms of improved decision making. The course weaves lessons from ancient practices (Yoga, Meditation, and Sudarshan Kriya) and texts (Rigveda, Upanishads, Bhagwad Gita, Patanjali Yoga Sutra, and Kautilya's Arthshastra) for modern-day managers and entrepreneurs. For example, Chanakya’s Arthashastra helped cover questions on governance, and practices like Sudarshan Kriya helped physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing; both of which were relevant for modern day managers at workplace.

The course was therefore aimed to imbibe life skills that a modern manager needs in their workplace. The course faculty shared that even during his earlier work experience, he has been practicing several techniques that he taught in class. Further, he said that the course aimed to offer students a well-rounded education, combining the best global management practices with the wisdom and values deeply rooted in Indian culture. The course contributes to IIM Sirmaur’s continued commitment to cultivating holistic leaders for the future of our nation.

At the end of the course, several students reported an improvement in mental and emotional well-being, improving their focus, clarity, and ability to manage stress effectively. While some students found tranquility amidst the fast-paced M.B.A. coursework, some felt it impacted their clarity of thought and decision-making abilities. At the same time, some also hoped to integrate the teachings from the course into their life and carry the learnings throughout their life. Prof. P. Sanjay along with Prof. Sana Maidullah are already researching the benefits of the practices and techniques taught in class.

IIT Guwahati's BRAHMA-2D Model Revolutionizes Hydraulic Design for Sustainable River Management

 ●     The model can assist in design of hydraulic structures that work well with the natural flow of the river

●     The model was tested on the Brahmaputra River near Majuli Island, the second largest freshwater river Island in the world, prone to river bank erosion

●     The research has been awarded the prestigious 'ISH Jal Vigyan Puraskar' (Best Paper in ISH Journal) 2023.

GUWAHATI : Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) led by Prof. Arup Kr Sarma, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati, in collaboration with the Brahmaputra Board, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, have developed an indigenous river model BRAHMA-2D (Braided River Aid: Hydro-Morphological Analyzer). This comprehensive mathematical model can help to understand flow of large braided rivers like Brahmaputra, providing valuable insights to field engineers to design sustainable hydraulic structures like Spurs, Revetment and other river bank protection measures.

Predicting river flow variations across depth is crucial for flood and erosion control, agriculture and water supply intake design, and zero head energy production. Traditional measurement methods of flow velocity in deep, large rivers during high monsoons is risky and extremely difficult, prompting the use of mathematical models. However, existing models provide only average velocity, underestimating undercurrents at different depths. In braided rivers, the presence of sandbars further complicates accurate three-dimensional velocity computation.

Speaking about the BRAHMA-2D model, Prof Arup Kr Sarma, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati, said,” Our mathematical model combines highly complex mathematical modelling with challenging field-based research on large braided rivers. With this quasi-3D river flow model, we can understand how fast the water moves at different depths inside a river and its circulation around a structure like a spur installed for prevent river bank erosion.”

BRAHMA-2D integrates a two-dimensional model of water movement with a theory about entropy, a measure of disorder or randomness. The research also delves into how features like river banks, spurs, and sandbars affect the way water moves. Specifically, it observes a dip phenomenon near spurs where the flow of water underneath increases, a phenomenon absent in points away from these structures.

The novel findings were published in the  ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, earning the paper the prestigious 'ISH Jal Vigyan Puraskar' (Best Paper in ISH Journal) 2023. The award ceremony took place on 21st December 2023 at the Hydro-2023 conference hosted at NIT, Warangal. The paper has been co-authored by Prof Arup Kr Sarma and his former research scholar Dr Anupal Barua.

The model was successfully validated on the Brahmaputra River near Majuli Island, the second largest freshwater river Island in the world, prone to river bank erosion.

Dr Anupal Baruah, at present working as post-doctoral fellow at the University of Alabama, USA, highlighted the model's successful application with the river survey data, using GPS Echo-Sounder for depth and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, along with current meters for velocity measurement. He emphasized, “During my research at IIT Guwahati field measurements near the spurs revealed a strong agreement with our model results. This breakthrough can now be applied to compute the vertical velocity profile at any desired location."

Ongoing research at IIT Guwahati continues to evolve the BRAHMA-2D model extending its application to estimate velocity changes for different vegetation types and assess the impact of structures like porcupines on flow velocity. The versatile model has further helped to design bioengineering methods for controlling river bank erosion. It has also been applied to understand habitat suitability of aquatic species, especially endangered species, based on the availability of required depth and flow velocity.
