Diabetes Prediction using Machine learning : A Bibliometric Analysis

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease which can be deadly if undetected for longer time. Artificial intelligence is helping in healthcare industry to a great extent by helping professionals to derive useful information and patterns from data available in various formats: Survey data, electronic health records, laboratory data.. Diabetes, if predicted at an early stage can help many people to save lives and cost for healthcare. Decision-making, diagnosing and predicting diabetes have become an increasing trend in recent years. There are numerous publications in diabetes prediction and yet it’s an ongoing research topic with availability of new data and methods. This study aims to provide a global picture on current status of diabetes prediction research field by analyzing trends in publications, authors, countries and institutions from Scopus and Web of Science database for the year 2009-2020. Further, to enhance the analysis, network inspection in terms of co-authorship, collaborative countries, citation analysis and keyword co-occurrences were explored. Tools like VoSviewer and tableau are used for analysis

Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery - a prospective study of short-term outcomes of consecutive cases over 3 years

This study was carried out with the objectives to study the feasibility of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, to observe short term outcome such as recovery parameters, oncologic safety, morbidity and mortality, and to analyze the experience of laparoscopic colorectal surgery in a teaching hospital. Between January 2007 and July 2009, all consecutive adult cases admitted to our department for colorectal cancer were assessed for eligibility. The ethical committee approved the protocol at the Sterling Hospital. Out of 31 patients,17 were males and 14 females. The mean age was 59 years. The most common clinical presentation was weight loss and altered bowel habits. Rectum (51.61%) was the most commonly involved organ followed by cecum (22.58%). - median time to liquid diet was two days (range 1-22), and a solid diet was three days (range 3-30). The median time to first flatus was two days (range 1-5), and the first stool was five days (range 3-7). The postoperative stay was eight days (range 6-30) median time to mobilization was 2.5 days. The postoperative stay is cumulative and includes patients who underwent reoperation for the anastomotic leak. The median operating time was 240 mins (range 116 – 520). The median length of incision was 6 cm (range 4 – 10 cm). The median blood loss was 170 ml. Blood loss was higher in patients with hemorrhage and tumor adhesions, and both of them were converted to open. These patients incidentally had a more extended hospital stay. The laparoscopic technique for colorectal cancer is feasible and safe. Laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) is associated with short term benefits like the earlier return of gastrointestinal function and shorter length of hospital stay. From the oncologic point of view, tumor resections are adequate, taking into context numbers of lymph nodes retrieved and resectional margins in context to oncologic safety. The decreased postoperative wound infections and early recovery facilitate appropriate adjuvant therapy. Advanced laparoscopic surgery requires a team approach with proper case selection. Transvaginal delivery of specimens can give scar-less surgery and the option for assisted natural orifice surgery

Analyzing the Performance of Centralized Clustering Techniques for Realistic Wireless Sensor Network Topologies

AbstractClustering techniques in wireless sensor networks enables energy efficient coordination among the densely deployed nodes for data delivery till the base station. Many clustering protocols have been suggested in the recent past. The topology of the nodes, mostly seen in the literature, is of random type. This paper analyzes the performance aspects of various centralized clustering techniques for wireless sensor networks. LEACH-Centralized, KMeans-CP, FCM-CP and HSA-CP protocols have been compared with respect to clustering and data delivery process for various realistic topologies. The simulations were performed for these protocols and performance of the protocols has been critically analyzed. HSA-CP clustering method performs better compared to other techniques for almost each topology examined in the paper

The General N-Location Distribution Problem

This paper studies the one-period, general network distribution problem with linear costs. The approach is to decompose the problem into a transportation problem that represents a stocking decision, and decoupled newsboy problems that represent the realization of demand with the usual associated holding and shortage costs. This approach leads to a characterization of optimal policies in terms of the dual of the transportation problem. Specifically, it is shown that there is a correspondence between the optimal policies and the extreme points, edges, faces etc. of the dual feasible region. This method is not directly suitable for the solution of large problems but the exact solution for small problems can be obtained. It is shown that the three location case involves 37 policies as compared to seven for the two location case. For the numerical solutions of large problems, the problem has been formulated as a linear program with column generation. This latter approach is quite robust in the sense that it is easily extended to incorporate capacity constraints and the multiproduct case. Extensions of this work are briefly discussed.Supported in part by the Office o Naval Research under contract 67-A-0204-007

Laparoscopic nephrectomy for xanthogranuloma pyelonephritis in a 3-year-old girl

AbstractWe describe a case of laparoscopic nephrectomy for a non-functioning left kidney secondary to severe advanced xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGPN). The patient had an uneventful recovery. Diffuse severe XGPN destroying all renal parenchyma in children is rare and the kidney is usually non salvageable. A high index of suspicion is essential for early diagnosis. Laparoscopic nephrectomy by experienced pediatric laparoscopic urologist is associated with less morbidity than an open nephrectomy

Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome: iris naevus (Cogan-Reese) syndrome. A case report

The purpose is to present a case of iridocorneal endothelium Syndrome with glaucoma and discuss clinical presentation and management strategies. A 45 year old female presented with redness, pain and diminision of vision in left eye. The patient was completely evaluated for the complaints. Slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed semidilated pupil not reacting to light and variation in iris colour pattern. Intraocular pressure was 14mmHg in the right eye and 46mmHg in the left eye. Gonioscopy of the left eye revealed broad based peripheral anterior synechiae. The optic disc of the left eye had a cup of 0.7. Specular microscopy of the left eye showed pleomorphism and polymegathism with multiple guttatae. This case reports the importance of specular microscopy in the evaluation of ICE syndrome and to plan the appropriate management strategies. We performed a trabeculectomy surgery for this patient with a well-functioning bleb to reduce the intraocular pressures following failure of topical anti-glaucoma medications
