Population-Based Artificial Intelligence Assessment of Relationship Between the Risk Factors for Diabetic Retinopathy in Indian Population.

Purpose: Risk factors (RFs), like 'body mass index (BMI),' 'age,' and 'gender' correlate with Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) diagnosis and have been widely studied. This study examines how these three secondary RFs independently affect the predictive capacity of primary RFs.

Methods: The dataset consisted of four population-based studies on the prevalence of DR and associated RFs in India between 2001 and 2010.

Machine Learning-Based Diagnosis and Ranking of Risk Factors for Diabetic Retinopathy in Population-Based Studies from South India.

This paper discusses the importance of investigating DR using machine learning and a computational method to rank DR risk factors by importance using different machine learning models. The dataset was collected from four large population-based studies conducted in India between 2001 and 2010 on the prevalence of DR and its risk factors. We deployed different machine learning models on the dataset to rank the importance of the variables (risk factors).

Use of chitosan wound dressing for the treatment of surgical site infection: a case report.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are treated using topical antiseptics and systemic antibiotics, but some cases are unresponsive to such regimens. This case study reports the effective healing of an SSI by a chitosan wound dressing (MaxioCel; Axio Biosolutions Private Limited, India) in a 63-year-old female patient. The patient presented with an infected, hard-to-heal wound in the abdominal region, developed after a hernia surgery, and was initially treated with standard procedures.

The Need for Artificial Intelligence Based Risk Factor Analysis for Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Review.

In epidemiology, a risk factor is a variable associated with increased disease risk. Understanding the role of risk factors is significant for developing a strategy to improve global health. There is strong evidence that risk factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, previous cataract surgery, age, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, BMI, female gender, and focal hyper-pigmentation are independently associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Effects on Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, are both common thyroid diseases that are increasing in prevalence. PTC is well-differentiated cancer that generally has an excellent prognosis. HT is an autoimmune disease that often leads to hypothyroidism.

Persistent Periodic Uplink Scheduling Algorithm for Massive NB-IoT Devices.

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is one of the low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technologies that aim to support enormous connections, featuring wide-area coverage, low power consumption, and low costs. NB-IoT could serve a massive number of IoT devices, but with very limited radio resources. Therefore, how to enable a massive number of IoT devices to transmit messages periodically, and with low latency, according to transmission requirements, has become the most crucial issue of NB-IoT.

Utilization of Cerebrospinal Fluid Proteome Analysis in the Diagnosis of Meningioma: A Systematic Review.

Meningiomas have been classified as the most commonly occurring primary brain tumors. Although the majority of meningiomas are benign and slow-progressing, the tumors that grow to a larger size are associated with various risks during surgical procedures. Early detection of meningiomas is crucial to the treatment as those detected early can be treated through non-invasive methods.
