In the worldwide working-age population, visual disability and blindness are common conditions caused by diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Nowadays, due to diabetes, many people are affected by eye-related issues. Among these, DR and DME are the two foremost eye diseases, the severity of which may lead to some eye-related problems and blindness.

Kidney stone is a major global menace that demands research on nonsurgical treatment involving biological compounds for the benefit of the patients. Among the biological extracts, citric acid is traditionally used to dissolve kidney stones. The current research focuses on evaluating the in vitro anti-urolithiatic activity and in silico study of ethanolic extract of Citrus sinensis (ECS) peel against c: phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase (PCYT).

The early detection of pulmonary nodules using computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems is very essential in reducing mortality rates of lung cancer. In this paper, we propose a new deep learning approach to improve the classification accuracy of pulmonary nodules in computed tomography (CT) images. Our proposed CNN-5CL (convolutional neural network with 5 convolutional layers) approach uses an 11-layer convolutional neural network (with 5 convolutional layers) for automatic feature extraction and classification.

The research work investigates the combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of a CI engine using neat biodiesel (B100: 100% rubber seed oil methyl ester) mixed with alumina and titanium oxide nanoparticles in the proportions of 25 ppm and 50 ppm separately. Nanoparticles (alumina and titanium dioxide) in different proportions like 25 ppm and 50 ppm were mixed with the neat biodiesel, and 2% of surfactant (Span80) was added, and the mixtures were agitated by an ultrasonicator to achieve uniform particle dispersion in the blend. The nanoparticle-blended biodiesel mixtures are designated as B100A25 (B100 + 25 ppm of alumina), B100A50 (B100 + 50 ppm of alumina), B100T25 (B100 + 25 ppm of TiO), and B100T50 (B100 + 50 ppm of TiO).

The Lung nodules are very important to indicate the lung cancer, and its early detection enables timely treatment and increases the survival rate of patient. Even though lots of works are done in this area, still improvement in accuracy is required for improving the survival rate of the patient. The proposed method can classify the stages of lung cancer in addition to the detection of lung nodules.

A nonlinear optical crystal of N-Glycyl-L-Valine (GV) single crystals was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique from an aqueous solution. The unit cell parameters and the crystal structure were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectral studies were carried out to identify the functional groups of the grown crystals.
