 Abstract

Lung cancer is a common cause of death for people all over the world. The most prevalent type of lung cancer has a significant fatality rate. Lung cancer screening can help identify cancer at an early stage if the sickness is recognized and treated while it is still in its early stages. As a result, early detection of lung cancer increases patients' chances of survival. Computed tomography (CT) scans of the lungs may be more accurate than X-rays and MRIs in detecting the presence of cancer. The lungs are scanned, and images are obtained using DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). We apply a range of preprocessing techniques to enhance and smooth images. In this study, the region of interest for the lung tumor is segmented using edge detection and thresholding (ROI). Finally, we compute several geometrical features of the retrieved ROI using Support Vector Machine and classify them into benign and malignant severity levels (SVM). supervised machine learning methods called SVM classifiers are used to categorize data. They have the advantage of handling tiny samples of high dimensional data. Performance of the SVM is assessed using each feature as an input. As a result, a system that employs image processing techniques is used to diagnose lung cancer in CT scans.

 Abstract

Skin diseases are a significant public health issue, affecting millions of people globally. Early and accurate diagnosis of these diseases is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of their spread. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in image classification and recognition tasks. Support vector machines (SVMs) are also widely used for classification tasks. In this study, we propose a skin disease diagnosis system that combines the strengths of CNNs and SVMs. Our approach involves training a CNN to extract features from skin lesion images, which are then used as input to the SVM classifier for classification. The CNN model is trained on a large dataset of skin lesion images, and the SVM model is trained on the extracted features from the CNN. The experimental results showed that our proposed method achieved higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity compared to other methods, demonstrating its effectiveness in skin disease diagnosis. In conclusion, our proposed skin disease diagnosis system based on CNN and SVM techniques provides a reliable and accurate tool for early and effective skin disease diagnosis, which could have significant implications for the management and treatment of these conditions.

This study has been undertaken to determine the prevalence of neurological dysfunction in COVID-19 recovered patients of Vadodara district. Background: Three outbreaks connected to newly emerging coronaviruses have been distinguished in the last two decades. The COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to the SARS CoV-2 infection's , it's neurological side effects and increased concern about coronaviruses' potential neuropathogenicity. The objective of this review was to give a brief overview of whether the COVID-19 infection results in any neurological impairment? We are using neurological impairment for this purpose. Aim : To Determine The Prevalence Of Neurological Dysfunction In Covid-19 Recovered Patients Of Vadodara District. Methodology: 147 patient were included in the study depending on the inclusion and exclusion criteria .This subjects were asked to fill the NIS scale depending on the symptoms and severity. Depending on the data collected statistical analysis was done using percentage frequency to determine the neurological dysfunction encountered by patients post COVID. Result: Results showed that most of the patients showed neurological involvement post COVID-19 in which most likely had an impact on the QoL ratings on the Neurological Impairment Scale (NIS), particularly those related to the "MOTOR," "TONE/JOINT RANGE," "COGNITIVE FUNCTION" , "MOOD" , "FATIGUE" and "pain/discomfort" domains.

 Abstract

A product categorised under the category of medical textiles is wet wipes. A wet wipe is a cloth-like product that has been moistened and is intended for a variety of cleaning tasks and it can also used to cure rashes and skin allergy. They are frequently used to clean surfaces and other things that require the gentle touch of a cloth that is typically tenderer. They are constructed of soft constituents, with variety of functions, including as baby wipes and facial tissues. Materials like cotton, viscose, polyester, polyethylene, and others are used to make them. The choice of substrate for wet wipes is made depending on durability and price. Synthetic fibres have a significant drawback in that they are non-degradable, which means they never actually decompose leads to pollution in land and water. Commercially available wet wipes may flushable or disposable, making them simple to use. This study discusses adopting an environmentally friendly product and switching to wet wipes made of natural fibres sugarcane bagasse and wood pulp as a way to get around this. Sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) is a natural fibre that is sustainable and has several advantageous qualities, including being soft, light, breathable, and cellulosic. The fundamental benefit of employing bagasse is that it is a pure waste product that can be used in any application with just a few straightforward treatments. A variety of paper-based products are made from wood pulp, which is a type of material produced by processing wood that has been harvested from trees. The wood is processed through a variety of steps to produce paper products, such as disposable paper plates, paper towels, baby wipes, and other typical home items, as end product. Acalypha indica leaf powder is used in Siddha medicine to treat various diseases. It is said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, herbal finishes are put on the tissues. The plant is then combined to create the medicinal textiles, which may also have antimicrobial characteristics.

Mindfulness and self-efficacy are important aspects among artists and Athletes. Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations. One of the important aspects that help in the proper execution of efficiency one has is self-confidence. It is even possible that someone with lesser ability, but with confidence, can outperform this person because belief in oneself can be a powerful influence. Mindfulness present-centered awareness and activity-focused attention help an individual to perform to his or her potential. The objective of the present study is to understand the level of self-efficacy and mindfulness awareness among artists and athletes. The study involves 75 young adults of age range from 18 to 25 among which there were 25 artists and athletes each. The study also involved 25 young adults who were not artists or athletes. The tools used to assess Self-efficacy and Mindfulness Were Self-Efficacy Scale (Ralf Schwarzer, Matthias Jerusalem, 1993) and the Mindfulness awareness scale (Brown and Ryan). The sample was selected through a purposive sampling method. The result revealed that there is a significant difference in the level of self-efficacy and mindfulness among artists, athletes, and others. The artists have a high level of self-efficacy and mindfulness compared to athletes and others.
