When tumors form, they are classified as either malignant or benign. It is critical to notice and identify the existence of tumors in brain images since they can be life threatening. This paper illustrates a novel segmentation method in which threshold technique is combined with normalized cut (Ncut) for the segregation of the tumors from brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. Image segmentation is a technique for grouping images. It is a method of splitting an image into sections with comparable attributes such as intensity, texture, colour, and so on. In thresholding, an object is distinguished from the background, and for the proposed segmentation methodology, the threshold value is determined by normalized graph cut. A weighted graph is divided into disjointed sets (groups) in which the similarity within a group is high and the similarity across groups is low. A graph-cut is a grouping approach in which the total weight of edges eliminated between these two pieces is used to calculate the degree of dissimilarity between these two groups. The normalized cut criterion is used to calculate the total likeness within the groups as well as the dissimilarity between the different groups.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135111731","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}

Traditional pain assessment tools relying on observer-based ratings and patient self-reporting are hampered by subjectivity and the need for continuous human monitoring, which have the potential to lead to inaccurate or delayed pain estimation. This paper presents an extensive literature review, a conceptual framework, and a systematic procedure for helping researchers develop a contactless, multimodal pain estimation system that leverages AI-based automation of standard pain assessment tools and scales within an AI sandbox environment. Our proposed concept aims to improve the efficiency of traditional pain estimation systems while reducing subjectivity and physical contact. This approach offers potential benefits, such as more accurate and timely pain assessment, reduced burden on healthcare professionals, and improved patient experiences. Moreover, the integration of the AI sandbox allows researchers and developers to experiment with AI models, algorithms, and systems safely and securely, ensuring that AI systems are reliable and robust before deployment. We also discuss potential challenges and ethical considerations related to the use of AI in pain estimation, emphasizing the importance of addressing these concerns to ensure the safe and responsible integration of this technology into healthcare systems. The paper lays a foundation for future research and innovation in pain management, ultimately contributing to better patient care and advancements in the field.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217629","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}

Understanding the factors is important for the success of the adoption of technologies. Therefore, this study aims to fill that gap. This paper reviews peer-reviewed literature to analyze factors that affect the adoption of digital dental technologies (DDT) and dental informatics (DI) and critically examines an array of technology acceptance models to unveil the underlying determinants of DDT and DI adoption. Usability and practical considerations, work efficiency factors, socioeconomic and organizational aspects, aspects of the learning curve, and system design are the most important factors influencing the adoption of digital dental technologies and dental informatics.

Predictions of diabetes using machine learning algorithms have been promising. In this work, we use data collected from the Pima Indians to assess the performance of multiple machine-learning approaches to diabetes prediction. Ages, body mass indexes, and glucose levels for 768 patients are included in the data set. The methods evaluated are Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Neural Network. The findings indicate that the Logistic Regression and Neural Network models perform the best on most criteria when considering all classes together. The SVM, Random Forest, and Naive Bayes models also receive moderate to high scores, suggesting their strength as classification models. However, the kNN and Tree models show poorer scores on most criteria across all classes, making them less favorable choices for this dataset. The SGD, AdaBoost, and CN2 rule inducer models perform the poorest when comparing all models using a weighted average of class scores. The results of the study suggest that machine learning algorithms may help predict the onset of diabetes and for detecting the disease at an early stage.","PeriodicalId":36900,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135217889","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}

Thus, the prevention of this kind of illness is considered as a huge human health challenge. Additionally, the diagnostic process often involves a combination of clinical examination, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic procedures, which can be complex and time-consuming. However, advances in medical technology and research have led to improved methods for diagnosing heart disease, which can help to improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, Machine Learning (ML) methods have shown promise in helping to improve the diagnosis of heart disease. Each method requires specific parameters to produce good results. In this paper, we propose a diagnosis support system based on optimized Machine Learning algorithms, which is Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K_Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Naive Bayes (NB), and Decision Tree (DT) to analyze the major cardiovascular risk factors, such as age, gender, high blood pressure, etc. To train and validate the ML models, a medical dataset of 558 patients with atherosclerosis is used.

A mixed design with a descriptive scope based on design-based research was used. The main results indicated that the designed learning environment was suitable for competency development in ECMO therapy management, as well as the importance of including high-quality simulation scenarios in the development of skills for managing this type of therapy.
