Spatial regions within images typically hold greater priority over adjacent areas, especially in the context of medical images (MI) where minute details can have significant clinical implications. This research addresses the challenge of compressing medical image dimensions without compromising critical information by proposing an adaptive compression algorithm. The algorithm integrates a modified image enhancement module, clustering-based segmentation, and a variety of lossless and lossy compression techniques.

Moreover, the detection of early sign of cancer is undertaken with extensive research efforts that dedicated to the disclosure and recognition of tumours. However, the limited data size as well as diverse appearance of images lowered the detection performance and failed to detect complex stage of tumour.

- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune condition affecting the nerves, with better outcomes linked to early detection and treatment; a study analyzed data from 1,166 patients to understand its clinical and epidemiological profile.
- Around 35% of the patients are over 50 years old, with a notable seasonal peak in winter; complications observed include facial palsy and notable conduction block in nerve conduction studies.
- The study indicates that both intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasma exchange show similar outcomes, but IVIG, though more expensive, tends to result in shorter hospital stays.
Many bacterial species use their intercellular signaling mechanism called quorum sensing (QS), which is found to be implicated in various factors including bacterial pathogenicity and food spoilage. Interrupting the bacterial communication is an attractive strategy to develop novel QS-based antibacterial drugs. Present study is aimed to investigate the quorum sensing inhibitory activity of Syzygium cumini and its anti-biofilm property against opportunistic pathogen using a biosensor strain Chromobacterium violaceum CV026.

Methods: The present study comprised a community-based cross-sectional study conducted in seven taluks of the Ramanathapuram district. A total of 2800 infants (<1 year of age) comprising of 1400 male and 1400 female infants were selected from all the seven taluks of the Ramanathapuram district at random.
