Nowadays, one of the most popular applications is cloud computing for storing data and information through World Wide Web. Since cloud computing has become available, users are rapidly increasing. Cloud computing enables users to obtain a better and more effective application at a lower cost in a more satisfactory way. Health services data must therefore be kept as safe and secure as possible because the release of this data could have serious consequences for patients. A framework for security and privacy must be employed to store and manage extremely sensitive data. Patients’ confidential health records have been encrypted and saved in the cloud using cypher text so far. To ensure privacy and security in a cloud computing environment is a big issue. The medical system has been designed as a standard, access of records, and effective use by medical practitioners as required. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm along with implementation details as an effective and secure E-health cloud model using identity-based cryptography. The comparison of the proposed and existing techniques has been carried out in terms of time taken for encryption and decryption, energy, and power. Decryption time has been decreased up to 50% with the proposed method of cryptography. As it will take less time for decryption, less power is consumed for doing the cryptography operations.
As multimedia technology is developing and growing these days, the use of an enormous number of images and its datasets is likewise expanding at a quick rate. Such datasets can be utilized for the purpose of image retrieval. This research focuses on extraction of similar images established on its different features for the image retrieval purpose from huge dataset of images. In this paper initially, the query image is searched within the available dataset and, then, the color difference histogram (CDH) descriptor is employed to retrieve the images from database. The basic characteristic of CDH is that it counts the color difference stuck among two distinct labels in the L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ color space. This method is experimented on random images used for various medical purposes. Various unlike features of an image are extracted via different distance methods. The precision rate, recall rate, and F-measure are all used to evaluate the system’s performance. Comparative analysis in terms of F-measure is also made to check for the best distance method used for retrieval of images.
A brain tumor (BT) is an unexpected growth or fleshy mass of abnormal cells. Depending upon their cell structure they could either be benign (noncancerous) or malign (cancerous). This causes the pressure inside the cranium to increase that may lead to brain injury or death. This causes excessive exhaustion, hinders cognitive abilities, headaches become more frequent and severe, and develops seizures, nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, in order to diagnose BT computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and blood and urine tests are implemented. However, these techniques are time consuming and sometimes yield inaccurate results. Therefore, to avoid such lengthy and time-consuming techniques, deep learning models are implemented that are less time consuming, require less sophisticated equipment, yield results with greater accuracy, and are easy to implement. This paper proposes a transfer learning-based model with the help of pretrained VGG19 model. This model has been modified by utilizing a modified convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture with preprocessing techniques of normalization and data augmentation. The proposed model achieved the accuracy of 98% and sensitivity of 94.73%. It is concluded from the results that proposed model performs better as compared to other state-of-art models. For training purpose, the dataset has been taken from the Kaggle having 257 images with 157 with brain tumor (BT) images and 100 no tumor (NT) images. With such results, these models could be utilized for developing clinically useful solutions that are able to detect BT in CT images.
Vitiligo is one of the disease which is yet to understand its pathogenesis, however many studies associate this disease as an autoimmune. Detection of autoimmune cells in the serum, lesional and perilesional area of vitiligo patients gives more insight on the disease mechanism. Presence of autoantibodies against melanocytes antigens in vitiligo patients indicates an autoimmune involvement in the aetiology of the disease. Identification and characterization of vitiligo autoantibodies would pave the way for developing new laboratory test for diagnosis. Studying the autoantibodies profile can give an impression on the disease condition of vitiligo patients. We realized the need of research emphasis in this area as more is yet to be discovered. In this review we give an account on different autoantibodies and their associated autoantigens in vitiligo as another effort of providing an updated data for detail analysis.
Automation of Postal systems has the major research scope in the field of automation. To create Postal Automation set-up for countries like India is a tedious task if compared with other countries because of India’s multiscript and multilingual behavior. This work will help in recognizing the “Gurmukhi” handwritten district names of the State Punjab. To recognize the district names, a CNN-based architecture is proposed by employing a Holistic approach. For this, an image database of 22000 samples is prepared having 1000 sample images for every district name which is collected from 500 different writers. Maximum accuracy on validation data achieved by the proposed Model is 99%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
