To cope up with the medical complications, scientists and physicians rely more on digitized historical evidence. It helps them to identify the disease and to develop new drugs and strategies. The authors have designed a model called B-Map. It can detect and segmenting any foreign object in the brain using fuzzy rules. The model can detect objects such as cancer and brain tumor. The proposed work aims at designing a classifier. The classifier would help to detect all possible foreign objects using one application. B-Map has been compared with benchmark algorithms such as K-means and ANN. It was found that the proposed model performs significantly better than the current techniques. Original patients' sample reports are taken from various medical laboratories. The figure numbers are retained as in the paper. The proposed model is able to find the edges and segment different types of foreign objects or one can say unexpected developments. Figure 12 shows the outer edges of a section of a brain MRI. The patient's MRI very clearly shows Hydrocephalus. The same is segmented and shown in Fig. 13. Figure 14 shows a segment of benign development and 15 shows a cancerous development which are again successfully segmented by the proposed model. The data on which testing is done is clinical data of the original patients. As the patient's details and data cannot be shared the author's cannot upload the data in the repository. As soon as the research completes, a benchmark dataset will be created and uploaded in public domain so that researchers can access it.

Foreign body ingestion, though rare, poses significant health risks, with 10%-20% of cases requiring endoscopic intervention. This article presents a novel case of a 16-year-old female who ingested a cigarette lighter, leading to abdominal pain and radiographic confirmation of a gastric foreign body. Initial attempts at retrieval using grasping forceps and snares were unsuccessful due to the object's size and shape, risking potential complications.

Hemolymph enables communication between organs in insects and ensures necessary coordination and homeostasis. Its composition can provide important information about the physiological state of an insect and can have diagnostic significance, which might be particularly important in the case of harmful insects subjected to biological control. Linnaeus 1758 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a global pest to honey bee colonies.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is a prevalent issue in clinical practice, with fish bones being the predominant cause. While the upper gastrointestinal tract is commonly affected, small intestine impactions pose significant diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and lack of awareness of foreign body ingestion. Herein, we describe a case presenting with recurrent, unexplained abdominal pain and hematochezia.

Background: Foreign body aspiration is a preventable occurrence that carries a high risk of mortality in the pediatric population. Clinically, foreign body aspiration manifests as cough, followed by choking, which might not be given any consideration by the caregivers of the child. An episode of sudden wheezing can also raise the suspicion of a foreign body in the lower respiratory tract.
