Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a problem worldwide, and prevention is crucial. The image segmentation analysis of DFU identification plays a significant role. This will produce different segmentation of the same idea, incomplete, imprecise, and other problems.

Based on these, in the current research, an attempt has been made to explore object enhancement and segmentation for CT images of lungs infected with COVID-19. By implementing Pythagorean fuzzy entropy, the considered images were enhanced.

The early diagnosis and treatment of multiple conditions will improve solutions to the patient's healthcare radically. A concept model for the real-time patient tracking system is the primary goal of the method.

- - The study aimed to identify factors that predict frequent relapses and steroid dependency in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, analyzing data from patients aged six months to 18 years from 2003 to 2015.
- - Results showed that frequent relapsers were younger at onset and experienced their first relapse sooner than infrequent relapsers, with specific predictors like a first relapse occurring within six months and concomitant infection during relapses.
- - The findings suggest that understanding these predictors can help improve patient management, targeting closer follow-ups and tailored treatment strategies.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effects of isotonic fluids (0.9% saline in 5% dextrose) and hypotonic fluids (0.18% saline in 5% dextrose) on hyponatremia in children in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
- Among 240 children, 16.7% in the hypotonic fluid group developed hyponatremia, while only 7.5% in the isotonic group did, indicating a significant difference (p = 0.029).
- The findings suggest that isotonic fluids may reduce the risk of hyponatremia and shorten PICU stay for children, supporting their use as
