System to provide Reading Aid to Visually Impaired People

Artificial intelligence and Machine learning is fast evolving in today’s world running towards digitization and automation, ranging from cancer detection using scans in Healthcare to driverless automatic electric cars. The system to provide reading aid is an approach to help said differently abled people to gain emotional independency in life, when it comes to reading text visuals, be it in the form of a book, newspaper or notice board. It will help increase scope of education for visually impaired which was formerly relatively less possible due to unavailability of books in Braille. For this technology, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and Signal Processing (Raw images) is use, coupled with a camera module attached to the Raspberry Pi

Primary pleural synovial sarcoma: a rare cause of hemorrhagic pleural effusion

Primary pleural synovial sarcoma (PPSS) is a rare malignant pleural tumor comprising < 1% of all primary lung malignancies. Primary pleural mesothelioma (PPM) has many similar features that may cause a diagnostic dilemma due to overlapping clinical and histopathological features. We present the case of a young male with recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion without any obvious lung mass who was diagnosed with PPSS. This rare entity must be considered with a high index of suspicion while evaluating pleural tumors

Molecular imprinting science and technology : A survey of the literature for the years 2004 - 2011

Herein, we present a survey of the literature covering the development of molecular imprinting science and technology over the years 2004-2011. In total, 3779 references to the original papers, reviews, edited volumes and monographs from this period are included, along with recently identified uncited materials from prior to 2004, which were omitted in the first instalment of this series covering the years 1930-2003. In the presentation of the assembled references, a section presenting reviews and monographs covering the area is followed by sections describing fundamental aspects of molecular imprinting including the development of novel polymer formats. Thereafter, literature describing efforts to apply these polymeric materials to a range of application areas is presented. Current trends and areas of rapid development are discussed.
