Machine learning approach for predicting cardiovascular disease in Bangladesh: evidence from a cross-sectional study in 2023.

Background: Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Bangladesh, are also affected by several types of CVDs, such as heart failure and stroke. The leading cause of death in Bangladesh has recently switched from severe infections and parasitic illnesses to CVDs.

A hybrid approach for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy from fundus image exploiting deep features.

One of the major causes of blindness in human beings is the diabetic retinopathy (DR). To prevent blindness, early detection of DR is therefore necessary. In this paper, a hybrid model is proposed for diagnosing DR from fundus images.

Comparative metagenomics and microbial dynamics of jute retting environment.

Jute, eco-friendly natural fiber, depends on conventional water-based microbial retting process that suffers from the production of low-quality fiber, restricting its diversified applications. The efficiency of water retting of jute depends on plant polysaccharide fermenting pectinolytic microorganisms. Understanding the phase difference in retting microbial community composition is crucial to provide knowledge on the functions of each member of microbiota for the improvement of retting and fiber quality.

A review on therapeutical potential of paeonol in atherosclerosis.

The morbidity and mortality of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasing year by year. Cortex Moutan is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been widely used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of diseases in Eastern countries due to its heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Paeonol is a bioactive monomer extracted from Cortex Moutan, which has anti-atherosclerotic effects.
