It happens when cells grow out of control and invade nearby tissues. Early detection of breast cancer is important to improve the survival rate of the patient. Common modalities used in the detection are mammography, ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, these methods are impractical to be used as personal monitoring device due to its high cost and uncomfortable procedures on the patient. Therefore, this study proposes the use of multiple thermal sensors positioned on brassiere cloth covering all four quadrants to provide continuous monitoring of temperature changes on the breasts. To test the reliability of the developed device, breast phantom and heater were used to mimic women breasts and the tumor respectively. Thermal imaging camera was used to verify the changes of surface temperature on breast phantom. Result obtained shows that the reading of thermal sensors on each quadrant with a tumor to have higher temperature compared to the rest. Comparative analysis shows that there were no significant differences on the reading obtained by the thermal sensors and thermal imaging camera which indicates that this low-cost wearable device can be potentially used as breast cancer monitoring tool.","PeriodicalId":103255,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on BioSignal Analysis, Processing and Systems (ICBAPS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115496480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a very simple alternative approach of auscultation technique is introduced for early detection of cardiac abnormality based on a combined framework of kernel space decomposition and textural analysis.

Recent advancements in medicine and electronics have allowed monitoring of physiological signals cost effectively and noninvasively. People living in remote areas are usually deprived of basic healthcare facilities and the available remote physiological signals monitoring techniques make use of Bluetooth and WLAN technologies which are inoperable in such areas. The system proposed in this paper solves this issue by making use of GSM and GPS communication techniques due to their vast availability even at remote locations. The proposed system monitors three physiological signals namely; heart rate, skin conductance and skin temperature non-invasively and also classifies stress levels. Finally, the physiological signals and stress levels data is stored for record maintenance and sent to a doctor so that he/she may monitor the patient remotely. A rule-based fuzzy logic algorithm is used for stress classification and the results shows that it achieved the highest accuracy when compared to other algorithms found in previous works. In addition to that, a stress levels dataset is also presented in this paper which can be further refined in future research.","PeriodicalId":103255,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on BioSignal Analysis, Processing and Systems (ICBAPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131075141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most cases of lung diseases are detected when the disease is in the advanced stages. Therefore the development of systems and methods that enable faster and early diagnosis will play a vital role in the world today. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CADx) systems play such a role and are currently being expanded. This study explores the potential of using deep learning features from pre-trained deep learning architectures to provide rich and robust features. These features were compared to the conventionally used Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Deep features produced the highest accuracy of 100% as compared to 93.52% produced by using GLCM features. This study also compared the classification of deep features with five different classifiers and Support Vector Machine (SVM) showed the highest result. This high accuracy was also reproduced with Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Regression classifiers. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also done to evaluate the usage of reduced number of features and its effect on the classification performance. Using deep features produced 4096 features and a classification accuracy of 100%. When PCA is introduced, only 79 features were used however the accuracy produced was the same. Thus, there is promising use of deep features together with PCA to reduce the number of features in the classification of diseased lungs.","PeriodicalId":103255,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on BioSignal Analysis, Processing and Systems (ICBAPS)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132642369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gene expression level provides the possibility of diagnosing various diseases such as cancer. In this regard, several computational techniques such as pattern classification approaches can be applied. However, the existence of a huge quantity of genes and very few patients' samples available hinders the classifier or machine learning techniques from producing accurate classification results. Most of these genes are irrelevant and redundant, which may deteriorate the classification performance. Therefore, gene selection is needed to select the most relevant genes. This paper proposes hybrid filter-wrapper gene selection method using Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevancy (MRMR) as the filter approach and flower pollination algorithm (FPA) as the wrapper approach. MRMR was used to find the most important genes from all genes in the gene expression data, and FPA is employed in order to locate the most informative gene subset from the reduce set that obtained by MRMR. To test the accuracy and performance of the study's proposed method, extensive experiments are conducted and three microarray datasets are used. They include Colon, Breast, and Ovarian. A similar procedure has been performed on the Genetic algorithm (GA) in comparison with the proposed method (MRMR-FPA) in this study. The results concluded that the MRMR-FPA can be used as an alternative method to address the gene selection problem.","PeriodicalId":103255,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on BioSignal Analysis, Processing and Systems (ICBAPS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128917867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
