To enable early management, which significantly lowers death rates, it is crucial to perform screening and determine if a tumor is benign or malignant. Building a cascade network model that bases predictions on the shape, pattern, and spread of the tumor is how this research approaches the challenge. Pre-processing of images, followed by segmentation and classification, are common methods to accomplish this. The strategy in this research employs a cascade network with UNet architecture for segmentation with a ResNet backbone for classification. To enable classification to make predictions, segmentation process involves separating tumor from the image in the form of a mask. The segmentation model's F1-score measurement came out to be 97.30%. The final decision-making layer's neural network is a straightforward 8-layer network, which follows the ResNet50 model.

It contains the records of the electrical signal of the heart and it is an investigation tool to check the heart's rhythm and thereby analyze heartbeats. Automatic detection of arrhythmia is possible by analyzing a patient's abnormal heartbeats and has become a major research area in recent years, as the manual examination of heart activity is time-consuming and prone to errors. Nowadays, the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) - based algorithms to predict abnormal heartbeats categorized into five classes namely, non-ectopic (N), supra ventricular ectopic (S), ventricular ectopic (V), fusion (F) and unknown beats (Q) has drawn more attention in detecting arrhythmias. The use of intuitive hand-crafted features with shallow feature learning architectures is one of the key drawbacks of machine learning (ML) techniques. So, we present a novel deep neural network heartbeat classifier to extract and classify the heartbeat signals. The novel one-dimensional convolution neural network (1D CNN) model is developed by modifying the LENET architecture for the classification of heat beats (MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database) and has attained an accuracy of 97.37%.

This technique involves encrypting the data prior to its outsourcing, thereby enhancing the confidentiality of the information. In this work, an earnest endeavor is undertaken to formally tackle the issue of authorized data deduplication, with the aim of enhancing data security.
