Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting millions of people around the world. Conventional PD detection algorithms are generally based on first and second-generation artificial neural network (ANN) models which consume high energy and have complex architecture. Considering these limitations, a time-varying synaptic efficacy function based leaky-integrate and fire neuron model, called SEFRON is used for the detection of PD.

An advanced deep auto-regressor neural network (Deep-AR-Net) model is employed to implement these two modules. The enhanced NP is optimized via AdamW and Huber loss function to perform multivariate multi-step forecasting contrast to Prophet.

While it is not as prevalent as other types of cancer, it ranks prominently among the commonly observed cancers affecting the endocrine system. Machine learning has emerged as a valuable medical diagnostics tool specifically for detecting thyroid abnormalities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAccurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) at an early stage is challenging for clinicians as its progression is very slow. Currently many machine learning and deep learning approaches are used for detection of PD and they are popular too. This study proposes four deep learning models and a hybrid model for the early detection of PD.

The aim of this research is to improve the diagnosis accuracy of thyroid abnormality detection models that can be utilized to alleviate undue pressure on healthcare professionals. In this research, we proposed deep learning, metaheuristics, and a MCDM algorithms-based framework to detect thyroid-related abnormalities from ultrasound and histopathological images.

Covid-19 disease caused by novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly contagious epidemic that originated in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China in late December 2019. World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 as a pandemic on 12th March 2020. Researchers and policy makers are designing strategies to control the pandemic in order to minimize its impact on human health and economy round the clock.
