Image Segmentation and Morphological Process of Skin Dermis for Diagnosis in Anthropoid

Mammals and plants are affected by skin diseases due to infection of known and unknown bacteria or virus. These type of disease occurred in many forms in the skin and produce irritable sensations in the human or animal�s body. There is need to diagnosis of skin infections and provide control measures are the important to the society. This paper focus towards different image processing techniques used for predicting various skin problems. Image processing techniques like segmentation, image pre-processing, edge detection and morphology are part of process for diagnosis of skin disease and are used to illustrate the part exaggerated by disease, the form of affected area. The segmentation performance is considered with dissimilar well known procedures and the consequences are significant. Morphology is used along with their combination for the detecting using the extracted features.These techniques are carried out with an experiment by using MATLAB software. The obtained results are promising

Study of perinatal outcomes in normal and borderline oligamnios

Background: Oligamnios is a common cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity, but the outcome of borderline oligamnios, defined as Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) between 5 and 8, is less clear. This study aims to find out the effect of borderline oligamnios on perinatal outcomes in pregnancies beyond 37 weeks.Methods: An observational prospective study of 131 antenatal mothers with AFI between 5 and 8, after 37 weeks of gestation was conducted in Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation from October 2017 to September 2019. These observations were compared with that of 131 antenatal mothers with normal AFI beyond 37 weeks of gestation. The observations according to fetal heart rate abnormalities, meconium staining of amniotic fluid, mode of delivery, low birth weight babies, APGAR score, the need of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions due to neonatal complications were statistically analysed.Results: Both groups were comparable with respect to age, parity and gestational age. In those with borderline oligamnios, fetal heart rate abnormality was seen in 21% (28), meconium stained amniotic fluid in 18% (23), 70% (91) delivered vaginally and 30% (40) underwent caesarean section, 31% (41) babies weighed below 2.5 kg and 21% (27) neonates needed NICU admissions. In those with normal AFI, none showed fetal heart rate abnormality, 2% (3) showed meconium staining, 93% (122) delivered vaginally and 7% (9) underwent caesarean section, 11% (14) babies weighed below 2.5 kg and 3% (4) neonates needed NICU admissions.Conclusions: Borderline oligamnios is associated with poor perinatal outcome. AFI can be used as an adjunct to other fetal surveillance methods. It helps to identify those infants at risk of poor perinatal outcome

Medication abortion in missed abortion up to 13 weeks amenorrhoea: a prospective study

Background: Missed abortion is a type of abortion in which the dead fetus is retained within the uterus. The objective of the study was to find out whether the use of medication abortion is safe and effective in termination of missed abortion up to 13 weeks of pregnancy.Methods: This study was conducted in a tertiary care center as a prospective study, for a period of 24 months from April 2013 to March 2014. Sample size consisted of 150 cases of missed abortion up to 13 weeks of pregnancy which was confirmed by ultrasound. These patients were given medication abortion and was followed up for complications viz., pain, excessive bleeding, need for surgical evacuation, rupture uterus, infection and coagulopathy.Results: In the present study, 16 % required surgical evacuation. The common complications were pain (8%), nausea and vomiting (4.7%), low grade fever (3.3%), excessive bleeding (6%). There were no cases of rupture uterus or coagulopathy, or infections.Conclusions: Medication abortion is a safe and effective method for the termination of missed abortion up to 13 weeks of pregnancy with fewer complications thus reducing the need for surgical methods

Resilience in Child Sexual Abuse: Role of Protective Factors

Child sexual abuse is a major public health problem with significant psychosocial consequences (Afifi & Macmillan, 2011). All child sexual abuse victims do not depict adverse consequences in later life. The variability of impact in a potentially traumatic experience like child sexual abuse is explained by the construct of resilience and it being the outcome of the influence of certain protective factors (Henley, 2010). The present article conceptualizes resilience in the area of child sexual abuse where individual, familial and community level factors are identified as predictors to fostering resilience. Formulation and development of effective interventions to reduce the impairment following child sexual abuse and to foster resilience in children, adolescents and survivors are recommended

Certain subclasses of analytic function by Sǎlǎgean q-differential operator

The theory of q-analysis has many applications in various sub-fields of mathematics and quantum physics. In the present article, we define the class Tn(α, λ; q) using the Sǎlǎgean q-differential operator. For functions belonging to this class we obtain coefficient estimates, extreme points and integral preserving properties.Publisher's Versio
