Diabetes is a fatal disease that currently has no treatment. However, early diagnosis of diabetes aids patients to start timely treatment and thus reduces or eliminates the risk of severe complications. The prevalence of diabetes has been rising rapidly worldwide. Several methods have been introduced to diagnose diabetes at an early stage, however, most of these methods lack interpretability, due to which the diagnostic process cannot be explained. In this paper, fuzzy logic has been employed to develop an interpretable model and to perform an early diagnosis of diabetes. Fuzzy logic has been combined with the cosine amplitude method, and two fuzzy classifiers have been constructed. Afterward, fuzzy rules have been designed based on these classifiers. Lastly, a publicly available diabetes dataset has been used to evaluate the performance of the proposed fuzzy rule-based model. The results show that the proposed model outperforms existing techniques by achieving an accuracy of 96.47%. The proposed model has demonstrated great prediction accuracy, suggesting that it can be utilized in the healthcare sector for the accurate diagnose of diabetes.

The teeth are the most challenging material to work with in the human body. Existing methods for detecting teeth problems are characterised by low efficiency, the complexity of the experiential operation, and a higher level of user intervention. Older oral disease detection approaches were manual, time-consuming, and required a dentist to examine and evaluate the disease. To address these concerns, we propose a novel approach for detecting and classifying the four most common teeth problems: cavities, root canals, dental crowns, and broken-down root canals, based on the deep learning model. In this study, we apply the YOLOv3 deep learning model to develop an automated tool capable of diagnosing and classifying dental abnormalities, such as dental panoramic X-ray images (OPG). Due to the lack of dental disease datasets, we created the Dental X-rays dataset to detect and classify these diseases. The size of datasets used after augmentation was 1200 images. The dataset comprises dental panoramic images with dental disorders such as cavities, root canals, BDR, dental crowns, and so on. The dataset was divided into 70% training and 30% testing images. The trained model YOLOv3 was evaluated on test images after training. The experiments demonstrated that the proposed model achieved 99.33% accuracy and performed better than the existing state-of-the-art models in terms of accuracy and universality if we used our datasets on other models.
