RETRACTED ARTICLE: A topic-based hierarchical publish/subscribe messaging middleware for COVID-19 detection in X-ray image and its metadata

Abstract

Putting real-time medical data processing applications into practice comes with some challenges such as scalability and performance. Processing medical images from different collaborators is an example of such applications, in which chest X-ray data are processed to extract knowledge. It is not easy to process data and get the required information in real time using central processing techniques when data get very large in size. In this paper, real-time data are filtered and forwarded to the right processing node by using the proposed topic-based hierarchical publish/subscribe messaging middleware in the distributed scalable network of collaborating computation nodes instead of classical approaches of centralized computation. This enables processing streaming medical data in near real time and makes a warning system possible. End users have the capability of filtering/searching. The returned search results can be images (COVID-19 or non-COVID-19) and their meta-data are gender and age. Here, COVID-19 is detected using a novel capsule network-based model from chest X-ray images. This middleware allows for a smaller search space as well as shorter times for obtaining search results.

Prognostic Nutritional Index, Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score, and Inflammatory Biomarkers as Predictors of Deep Vein Thrombosis, Acute Pulmonary Embolism, and Mortality in COVID-19 Patients

“…Numerous recent studies have also shown the superior role of superficial and deep learning-based intelligence in the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients using X-rays and CT scans with higher accuracy than the standard diagnostic approach [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 ].…”

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Evolving deep convolutional neutral network by hybrid sine–cosine and extreme learning machine for real-time COVID19 diagnosis from X-ray images

“…Therefore, a method based on chest X-ray imaging has become almost the most useful method to detect COVID19 positive cases [19]. However, this method suffers from the long-time needed by the radiologists to read and interpret X-ray images [20]. Besides, due to the increasing prevalence of the COVID19 virus, the number of patients, who need an X-ray image interpretation, is much higher than the number of radiologists leading to the radiologists overloaded, long-time diagnosis process, and a critical risk of other people's infection.…”

Design of a Scalable Content-based Publish-subscribe Model for Efficient Information Dissemination in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

“…Eken [14], developed a topic-based publishsubscribe messaging scheme for supporting the detection of COVID-19 in X-ray image. The study adopted the use of a topic-based publishsubscribe model for the transfer of information between communication nodes over a distributed scalable network of collaborative computational nodes.…”
