    With the current improvements in virtual image processing techniques have received several benefits. Today, all of the scientific techniques produce virtual scientific pictures, through healthcare specialists analyze and diagnose the abnormality. The frequent view of scientific picture processing might also additionally appear simpler; however, it entails many challenges. As the scientific pics are interconnected with human lives, the laptop-aided scientific image processing structures have to be overcautious, if we want to eliminate inaccuracy rates. The utility of medical image processing techniques for the analysis of CT scan images similar to lung cancer cells has been gaining momentum in recent years. This paper discusses the use of a Transform Edge Feature preserving CT scan Medical Image Coder (EZWT - EFPIC) using Computed Tomography (CT) images to help in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. We discuss and explore the design and significance of an EZWT-EFPIC-CT image-processed model in cancer diagnosis

    PURPOSE: As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective surgery is best performed. This study aimed to determine whether COVID-19-free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared with hospitals with no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This international, multicenter cohort study included patients who underwent elective surgery for 10 solid cancer types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating hospitals included patients from local emergence of SARS-CoV-2 until April 19, 2020. At the time of surgery, hospitals were defined as having a COVID-19-free surgical pathway (complete segregation of the operating theater, critical care, and inpatient ward areas) or no defined pathway (incomplete or no segregation, areas shared with patients with COVID-19). The primary outcome was 30-day postoperative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, unexpected ventilation). RESULTS: Of 9,171 patients from 447 hospitals in 55 countries, 2,481 were operated on in COVID-19-free surgical pathways. Patients who underwent surgery within COVID-19-free surgical pathways were younger with fewer comorbidities than those in hospitals with no defined pathway but with similar proportions of major surgery. After adjustment, pulmonary complication rates were lower with COVID-19-free surgical pathways (2.2% v 4.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.86). This was consistent in sensitivity analyses for low-risk patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1/2), propensity score-matched models, and patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 preoperative tests. The postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was also lower in COVID-19-free surgical pathways (2.1% v 3.6%; aOR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.76). CONCLUSION: Within available resources, dedicated COVID-19-free surgical pathways should be established to provide safe elective cancer surgery during current and before future SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks

    Mathematical modeling of free convective MHD flow of temperature and heap transfer effects on caisson fluid over an oscillatory vertical plate

    No full text
    In general, some static analysis of the predictable flow of the compressible and caisson fluid of some infinite vertical plates is determined by taking into account its varying mass or constant fluid flow and the uniform increase of the partition temperature. Differential equations can be predicted using different components of the Laplace transformation technique. Usually, two different solutions are available when the fluid flows in a particular direction. In this paper, an improved method for calculating the velocity of different fluids is proposed. Its possibilities are designed to calculate the different types of events that take place near the high temperature plates of the liquid. The results are compared with the flow along the plates at a near constant temperature
