Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer continues to be a major global health issue, with early detection being crucial, despite challenges in patient selection and risk assessment during screening.
  • This study presents a novel diagnostic approach using advanced image processing techniques, including histogram equalization and Otsu thresholding, for more accurate detection and segmentation of lung tumors in CT images.
  • The proposed combination of Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) with DenseNet CNN significantly improves diagnostic metrics, achieving accuracy (98.17%), specificity (97.32%), and precision (97.46%), showcasing its potential as a powerful tool for distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors.

An efficient processing approach is essential for increasing identification accuracy since the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals produced by the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) apparatus are nonlinear, nonstationary, and time-varying. The interpretation of scalp EEG recordings can be hampered by nonbrain contributions to electroencephalographic (EEG) signals, referred to as artifacts. Common disturbances in the capture of EEG signals include electrooculogram (EOG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG) and other artifacts, which have a significant impact on the extraction of meaningful information.

Because it is associated with most multifactorial inherited diseases like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other serious medical conditions, obesity is a major global health concern. Obesity is caused by hereditary, physiological, and environmental factors, as well as poor nutrition and a lack of exercise. Weight loss can be difficult for various reasons, and it is diagnosed via BMI, which is used to estimate body fat for most people.

Soft sensors are data-driven devices that allow for estimates of quantities that are either impossible to measure or prohibitively expensive to do so. DL (deep learning) is a relatively new feature representation method for data with complex structures that has a lot of promise for soft sensing of industrial processes. One of the most important aspects of building accurate soft sensors is feature representation.

The aedes mosquito-borne dengue viruses cause dengue fever, an arboviral disease (DENVs). In 2019, the World Health Organization forecasts a yearly occurrence of infections from 100 million to 400 million, the maximum number of dengue cases ever testified worldwide, prompting WHO to label the virus one of the world's top ten public health risks. Dengue hemorrhagic fever can progress into dengue shock syndrome, which can be fatal.
