The SEMRCNN model is proposed for autonomously extracting prostate cancer locations from regions of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI). Feature maps are explored in order to provide fine segmentation based on the candidate regions. Two parallel convolutional networks retrieve these maps of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2W images, which are then integrated to use the complimentary information in MP-MRI. By utilizing extrusion and excitation blocks, it is feasible to automatically increase the number of relevant features in the fusion feature map. The aim of this study is to study the current scenario of the SE Mask-RCNN and deep convolutional network segmentation model that can automatically identify prostate cancer in the MP-MRI prostatic region. Experiments are conducted using 140 instances. SEMRCNN segmentation of prostate cancer lesions has a Dice coefficient of 0.654, a sensitivity of 0.695, a specificity of 0.970, and a positive predictive value of 0.685. SEMRCNN outperforms other models like as V net, Resnet50-U-net, Mask-RCNN, and U network model for prostate cancer MP-MRI segmentation. This approach accomplishes fine segmentation of lesions by recognizing and finding potential locations of prostate cancer lesions, eliminating interference from surrounding areas, and improving the learning of the lesions’ features.
Alzheimer’s disease is incurable at the moment. If it can be appropriately diagnosed, the correct treatment can postpone the patient’s illness. To aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and to minimize the time and expense associated with manual diagnosis, a machine learning technique is employed, and a transfer learning method based on 3D MRI data is proposed. Machine learning algorithms can dramatically reduce the time and effort required for human treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This approach extracts bottleneck features from the M-Net migration network and then adds a top layer to supervised training to further decrease the dimensionality and delete portions. As a consequence, the transfer network presented in this study has several advantages in terms of computational efficiency and training time savings when used as a machine learning approach for AD-assisted diagnosis. Finally, the properties of all subject slices are combined and trained in the classification layer, completing the categorization of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms and standard control. The results show that this strategy has a 1.5 percentage point better classification accuracy than the one that relies exclusively on VGG16 to extract bottleneck features. This strategy could cut the time it takes for the network to learn and improve its ability to classify things. The experiment shows that the method works by using data from OASIS. A typical transfer learning network’s classification accuracy is about 8% better with this method than with a typical network, and it takes about 1/60 of the time with this method.
To address the shortcomings of standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the model structure is complex, the training period is lengthy, and the data processing technique is single. A modified capsule network is presented to optimize hierarchical convolution—the algorithm for identifying mental health conditions. To begin, two types of data processing are performed on the original vibration data: wavelet noise reduction and wavelet packet noise reduction; this retains more valuable information for mental health identification in the original signal; secondly, the CNN employs the concept of hierarchical convolution, and three distinct scaled convolution kernels are utilized to extract features from numerous angles; ultimately, the convolution kernel’s extracted features are fed into the pruning strategy’s capsule network for mental health diagnosis. The enhanced capsule network has the potential to significantly speed up mental health identification while maintaining accuracy. It is time to address the issue of the CNN structure being too complex and the recognition impact being inadequate. The experimental findings indicate that the suggested algorithm achieves a high level of recognition accuracy while consuming a small amount of time.
Antibiotics are prescribed to patients in dentistry to combat various infections and pain. Antibiotics cure disease by killing, injuring, or inhibiting the growth of bacteria at very low concentrations. Unwarranted use of antibiotics is reported in children, mostly for ear and dental infections. However, in children, this insufficient knowledge of the appropriate clinical indications leads to increase in microbial resistance to antibiotics. A set of questionnaire was prepared based upon the antibiotics written by dentists. Total 95 dentist actively took part in the study. Questions were both open and close ended. Statistical analysis was done for the answers given. It was seen that there was a lack of knowledge among practitioners about the side effects and resistance of antibiotics. It concludes that better use of diagnostic services; surveillance and improvements in dental education are required now to lessen the impact of antibiotic resistance in the future. In the present study about 41% dentists prescribed amoxicillin to pediatric patients. amoxicillin use is associated with developmental enamel defects. The duration of antibiotic treatment should be kept shortest. Most acute infections are resolved in 3-7 days.
All cells and intracellular components are remodeled and recycled in order to replace the old and damaged cells. Autophagy is a process by which damaged and unwanted cells are degraded in the lysosomes. There are three different types of autophagy, and these include macroautophagy, microautophagy and chaperonemediated autophagy. Autophagy has an effect on adaptive and innate immunity, suppression of any tumour and the elimination of various microbial pathogens. The process of autophagy has both positive and negative effects and this pertains to any specific disease or its stage of progression. Autophagy involves various processes which are controlled by various signaling pathways, such as Jun N-terminal kinase, GSK3, ERK1, Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, and PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 and parkin RBR E3. Protein kinases are also important for the regulation of autophagy as they regulate the process of autophagy either by activation or inhibition. In the present review, we discuss the kinase catalyzed phosphorylated reactions, the kinase inhibitors, types of protein kinase inhibitors and their binding properties to protein kinase domains, the structures of active and inactive kinases, and the hydrophobic spine structures in active and inactive protein kinase domains. The intervention of autophagy by targeting specific kinases may form the mainstay of treatment of many diseases and lead the road to future drug discovery.
