Identifying Lung Cancer Using CT Scan Images Based On Artificial Intelligence

Lung cancer appears to be the common reason behind the death of human beings at some stage on the planet. Early detection of lung cancers can growth the possibility of survival amongst human beings. The preferred 5-years survival rate for lung most cancers sufferers will increase from 16% to 50% if the disease is detected in time. Although computerized tomography (CT) is frequently more efficient than X-ray. However, the problem regarded to merge way to time constraints in detecting this lung cancer concerning the numerous diagnosing strategies used. Hence, a lung cancer detection system that usage of image processing is hired to categorize lung cancer in CT images. In image processing procedures, procedures like image pre-processing, segmentation, and have extraction are mentioned intimately. This paper is pointing to set off the extra precise comes approximately through making use of distinctive improve and department procedures. In this proposal paper, the proposed method is built in some filter and segmentation that pre-process the data and classify the trained data. After the classification and trained WONN-MLB method is used to reduce the time complexity of finding result. Therefore, our research goal is to get the maximum result of lung cancer detection

Whole genome sequencing for drug resistance determination in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

South Africa remains challenged with a high tuberculosis burden accompanied by an increase in drug resistant cases. We assessed the use of the Illumina MiSeq, a next-generation sequencing platform for whole genome sequencing, followed by bioinformatic analysis using a commercial software package to determine resistance to selected drugs used for Mycobacterium tuberculosis treatment in our setting. Whole genome sequencing shows potential as a diagnostic platform for the detection of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the provision of information for several drugs simultaneously

Drug resistant tuberculosis in Africa: Current status, gaps and opportunities

Background: The World Health Organization End TB Strategy targets for 2035 are ambitious and drug resistant tuberculosis is an important barrier, particularly in Africa, home to over a billion people. Objective: We sought to review the current status of drug resistant tuberculosis in Africa and highlight key areas requiring improvement. Methods: Available data from 2016 World Health Organization global tuberculosis database were extracted and analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: The true burden of drug resistant tuberculosis on the continent is poorly described with only 51% of countries having a formal survey completed. In the absence of this data, modelled estimates were used and reported 92 629 drug resistant tuberculosis cases with 42% of these occurring in just two countries: Nigeria and South Africa. Of the cases estimated, the majority of patients (70%) were not notified, representing ‘missed cases’. Mortality among patients with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis was 21%, and was 43% among those with extensively drug resistant tuberculosis. Policies on the adoption of new diagnostic tools was poor and implementation was lacking. A rifampicin result was available for less than 10% of tuberculosis cases in 23 of 47 countries. Second-line drug resistance testing was available in only 60% of countries. The introduction of the short multi-drug resistant tuberculosis regimen was a welcome development, with 40% of countries having implemented it in 2016. Bedaquiline has also been introduced in several countries. Conclusion: Drug resistant tuberculosis is largely missed in Africa and this threatens prospects to achieve the 2035 targets. Urgent efforts are required to confirm the true burden of drug resistant tuberculosis in Africa. Adoption of new tools and drugs is essential if the 2035 targets are to be met

Evaluation of preparation times of waveone gold reciprocating instruments compared to two analogous counterparts

Manufacturers are constantly developing new products to optimise endodontic treatment. These newer file systems are often associated with increasing expenditure of instrumentation and can affect the cost effectiveness of root canal treatment. Recently, companies have emerged that claim to have successfully reproduced many of the more established endodontic file systems manufactured by Dentsply Sirona (Ballaigues, Switzerland). EdgeEndo (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) and Pac- Dent (Brea, CA, USA), which manufacture files similar in design to that of Dentsply Sirona, claim that they are similar and sell them at a lower price. A performance comparison of the replica file systems to their original is of clinical importance. The aim of this ex vivo study was to compare the total glide path and canal preparation times of WaveOne Gold Glider (Dentsply Sirona) combined with the Primary WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona), Edge GlidePath (Edge Endo, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) followed by the Primary EdgeOne Fire (EdgeEndo); and One File G Glide Path (Pac-Dent, Brea, CA, USA) file combined with the Primary One File G (Pac-Dent) Shaping file. Sixty curved untreated canals of extracted, human, mandibular molars were randomly divided into three groups of 20 canals each for mechanical glide path enlargement and root canal shaping. Group 1 (WaveOne Gold Glider + Primary WaveOne Gold); Group 2 (Edge Glide- Path + Primary EdgeOne Fire); and Group 3 (One File G Reciprocating Glide Path File + Primary One File G Reciprocating shaping file). The total time taken to prepare a glide path and to complete the root canal preparation of each canal was recorded (in seconds) by means of an iPhone stopwatch (Apple Inc., Cupertino, California). The time taken to change files was not recorded. Throughout the instrumentation process, RC Prep was used as a lubricant, and 5 mL 3% sodium hypochlorite was used as irrigation solution. Mean and standard deviations were determined for each group, and analysis of variance was used to statistically compare the mean glide path preparation times for the three groups. The fastest final canal preparation time was achieved by WOGG/PWOG (41.78±10.58 s), followed by OFGP/ POFS (42.02±12.16 s) and then EGP/PEOF (42.49± 10.44 s). There were no statistically significant differences between the canal preparation times of the three combination groups (p>0.05).https://www.sada.co.za/the-sadjam2022Odontolog

Antimicrobial activity analysis of extracts of Acacia modesta, Artimisia absinthium, Nigella sativa and Saussurea lappa against Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms

Antimicrobial activity of extracts of certain herbs including Acacia modesta (leaf and stem), Artimisia absinthium (leaf and stem), Nigella sativa (seeds) and i (root) was evaluated against three Gram positive and two Gram negative microorganisms. The Gram positive organisms included Bacillus subtalis (ATCC 6633), Entereococcus faecalis (ATCC 14506) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and the Gram negative organisms included Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Salmonella typhi (ATCC 14028). Methanolic, hot water and cold water extracts of these plants were taken for antibacterial assay through Discs agar diffusion technique using commercial filter paper discs applied on inoculated Muellar Hinton agar plates. The objective of this study was to explore the curative powers of these herbs that exist in nature as a tool to counter disease causing agents. The maximum zone of inhibition of 18 mm of methanolic extract of N. sativa was observed against B. subtalis and S. aureus. Similarly, the maximum zone of inhibition of 18 mm of cold water extract of N. sativa against S. aureus and methanolic extract of Saussurea lappa against S. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was also observed. The antibacterial action was compared with the effect of ceftriaxone, ceftriaxone sodium, cefuroxine, ciprofloxacin, gentamycine, levofloxacin, metronidazole and tranexamic acid that were used as standered drugs. Based on the results obtained in this study, it may be concluded that plant extracts of A. modesta, A. absinthium, N. sativa and Saussurea lappa have a stronger and broader spectrum of antimicrobial activity against a number of food borne bacteria.Key words: Herbs, methanolic extract, Acacia modesta, Bacillus subtalis, gentamycine, gram negative, gram positive

The evolving role of social media in enhancing quality of life: a global perspective across 10 countries

Background: Excessive or inappropriate use of social media has been linked to disruptions in regular work, well-being, mental health, and overall reduction of quality of life. However, a limited number of studies documenting the impact of social media on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are available globally. Aim: This study aimed to explore the perceived social media needs and their impact on the quality of life among the adult population of various selected countries. Methodology: A cross-sectional, quantitative design and analytical study utilized an online survey disseminated from November to December 2021. Results: A total of 6689 respondents from ten countries participated in the study. The largest number of respondents was from Malaysia (23.9%), followed by Bangladesh (15.5%), Georgia (14.8%), and Turkey (12.2%). The prevalence of social media users was over 90% in Austria, Georgia, Myanmar, Nigeria, and the Philippines. The majority of social media users were from the 18–24 age group. Multiple regression analysis showed that higher education level was positively correlated with all four domains of WHOQoL. In addition, the psychological health domain of quality of life was positively associated in all countries. Predictors among Social Media Needs, Affective Needs (β = -0.07), and Social Integrative Needs (β = 0.09) were significantly associated with psychological health. Conclusion: The study illuminates the positive correlation between higher education levels and improved life quality among social media users, highlighting an opportunity for policymakers to craft education-focused initiatives that enhance well-being. The findings call for strategic interventions to safeguard the mental health of the global social media populace, particularly those at educational and health disadvantages

Antibacterial performance enhancement using hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents: COSMO-RS prediction, experimental validation, and synergistic action with antibiotics

Microbial infection is a hazardous and challenging clinical problem that has attracted considerable attention recently, primarily owing to the noticeable rise in antimicrobial resistance. To address the medical requirements to encounter this dilemma, we present hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (HDESs) that combine experimental research and computational prediction; conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS). Mentholbased HDESs were successfully obtained when mixed with fatty acids, and their thermal profiles were analyzed. The HDES systems and their synergistic effects demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with DES 4 (menthol:decanoic acid) exhibiting the highest bactericidal activity at a molar ratio of 1:5. The interaction between the HDESs and bacterial cell wall structural compounds was confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results revealed a favorable concurrence between the projected and empirical outcomes, indicating that DES 4 exhibited bacteriostatic properties and could be a viable substitute for managing bacterial infections of diverse origins. In addition, the synergistic effect of DES 4 and tetracycline showed promising potential. The successful integration of experimental and computational approaches in this study also sets a precedent for the rational design of future antimicrobial agents and opens new avenues for tackling other clinical challenges
