SmartScanPCOS: A feature-driven approach to cutting-edge prediction of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome using Machine Learning and Explainable Artificial Intelligence.

PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) poses significant challenges to women's reproductive health due to its diagnostic complexity arising from a variety of symptoms, including hirsutism, anovulation, pain, obesity, hyperandrogenism, and oligomenorrhea, necessitating multiple clinical tests. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare offers several benefits that can significantly impact patient care, streamline operations, and improve medical outcomes overall. This study presents an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)-driven PCOS smart predictor, structured as a hierarchical ensemble consisting of two tiers of Random Forest classifiers following extensive analysis of seven conventional classifiers and two additional stacking ensemble classifiers.

Evaluating the Role of Mechanical Bowel Preparation in Anterior Resection Through a Prospective Randomized Single-Blinded Trial.

Introduction Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) before colorectal surgery is a common practice to reduce bacterial levels and infection. However, recent studies and data analyses have shown that this practice may increase the incidence of postoperative septic complications. Limited information is available regarding MBP for rectal surgeries.

Use of Navigation System in the Management of Deep Neck Space Infection-A Case Report.

Unlabelled: Deep neck space infections are an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) emergency. Navigation system (NS) can be utilized to assist in locating the exact site of pathology and avoiding iatrogenic injury especially in paediatric patients. This manuscript explores the importance of NS in managing retro pharyngeal abscess (RPA) in an 11 month old baby.

First report of Causing Fusarium head Blight of Wheat in India.

Wheat is one of major cereal crops with paramount importance that is cultivated across the globe. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a catastrophic disease of wheat which has recently risen to prominence due to its direct impact on the quality and quantity of wheat on a global scale. During a field survey conducted in 2021-22, wheat spikes showing characteristic symptoms of head blight were observed in northern parts of the Karnataka, India, in the districts Bagalkote, Belagavi and Dharwad.

A Multi-epitope Vaccine Candidate Against Bolivian Hemorrhagic fever Caused by Machupo Virus.

Bolivian hemorrhagic fever (BHF) caused by Machupo virus (MACV) is a New World arenavirus having a reported mortality rate of 25-35%. The BHF starts with fever, followed by headache, and nausea which rapidly progresses to severe hemorrhagic phase within 7 days of disease onset. One of the key promoters for MACV viral entry into the cell followed by viral propagation is performed by the viral glycoprotein (GPC).
