CT imaging has advantages, but it also exposes a person to radiation from ions, which raises the possibility of malignancy, particularly when the imaging procedure is done. Access to expensive-quality CT scans and the related sophisticated analytic tools might be restricted in environments with fewer resources due to their high cost and limited availability. It will need an array of creative technological innovations to overcome such weaknesses. This paper aims to design a heuristic and deep learning-aided lung cancer classification using CT images. The collected images are undergone for segmentation, which is performed by Shuffling Atrous Convolutional (SAC) based ResUnet++ (SACRUnet++). Finally, the lung cancer classification is performed by the Adaptive Residual Attention Network (ARAN) by inputting the segmented images. Here the parameters of ARAN are optimally tuned using the Improved Garter Snake Optimization Algorithm (IGSOA). The developed lung cancer classification performance is compared to conventional lung cancer classification models and it showed high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142297705","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}

Intra- and postoperative quantification of AL might be useful for improving treatment decisions, but these measurements have not been characterised. AL calculations based on inspiratory and expiratory tidal volumes were investigated in an Intensive Care Unit mechanical ventilator circuit (Servo-I). AL was also measured by a digital chest drainage system. This study shows that AL measurements increase in accuracy when corrected for baseline deviations (R: 0.904 > 0.997, p < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a funnel-shape, indicative of a detection threshhold. Corrected measurements were most accurate when averaged over five breaths and AL was >500 mL/min, with an estimated mean systemic bias of 7.4% (95%-limits of agreement [LoA]: 1.1%-13.7%) at 500 mL/min air leak. Breath-by-breath analysis showed most accurate results at AL >20 mL/breath (R: 0.989-0.991, p < 0.001) at tidal volumes between 350-600 mL. The digital drain had a mean systemic bias of -11.1% (95%-LoA: -18.9% to -3.3%) with homogenous scatter in Bland-Altman analysis and a strong correlation to the control measurement over a large range (0-2000mL/min, R: 0.999, p < 0.001). This study indicates that the Servo-I can be used for air leak quantification in clinically relevant ranges (>500 mL/min), but is unsuited for small leak detection due to a detection threshold. Researchers and clinicians should be aware of varying accuracy and interoperability characteristics between AL measurement devices.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141761567","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}

Forty postoperative patients who underwent surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) were randomly allocated to either the conventional rehabilitation group or the NMES group. The NMES group received NMES treatment in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program starting from eight weeks postoperatively. Various parameters, including knee joint function, stability, and balance, were compared between the two groups at eight weeks and 12 weeks postoperatively. Compared to the data at eight weeks postoperatively, both groups exhibited significant improvements in all measured indicators at 12 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05). In the 12th week after the surgery, the NMES group demonstrated a Lysholm score of 93.18 ± 3.67 points, an IKDC score of 84.65 ± 2.33 points, a KT-2000 measurement of 0.88 ± 0.45 mm, a thigh circumference difference of -1.33 ± 0.55 cm, a knee flexion angle of 130.12 ± 4.21°, a single-leg standing time of 60.12 ± 9.33 s, a YBT score of 70.26 ± 2.68 points, and a Bulgarian split squat 1RM size of 58.07 ± 6.85 kg; all of these results were significantly superior to those observed in the conventional group (p < 0.05).

However, due to suffering from challenges such as faults their applications may be limited in real practice. So, in designing wearable devices, designer must take into account fault tolerance techniques. This study aims to investigate the challenging issues of fault tolerance in wearable computing. For this purpose, different aspects of fault tolerance in wearable computing namely hardware, software, energy, and communication are studied; and state of the art research regarding each category is analysed. In this analysis, the performed works using the fault tolerance techniques are included in the form of 25 components and referred to as \"fault tolerance plan\". Using this fault tolerance plan and the appropriate profile, the fault tolerance of any wearable system can be evaluated. In this article, fault tolerances of several of the most prominent works conducted in the field of wearable computing were evaluated. The obtained results, with the medical profile, showed that only one wearable system had a fault tolerance of 91%, with the other systems having a fault tolerance of 24% or less. Also, the results obtained from evaluating these works, with the military profile, showed that only one wearable system had a fault tolerance of 76%, with the other systems having a fault tolerance of 19% or less. These mean that few studies have been conducted on the fault tolerance of wearable computing.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141493852","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 optimum composition of gelatine and PLA to make a scaffold of uniform fibre diameter was achieved with the help of conductivity, viscosity and FESEM analysis. The optimum scaffold was characterised by TGA, DSC and XRD analysis. The water contact angle of the optimum sample was observed at 27°. The blended scaffold was found non-toxic to cells and showed a 30% faster healing of wounds in the rat model test compared to the healing rate of the PLA scaffold or the gelatine scaffold alone.

Accurate and timely assessment of Antibiotic Susceptibility Test (AST) is of great importance to ensure adequate treatment for patients and for epidemiological monitoring. Disc Diffusion Test (DDT) is a standard and widely used method for AST. Manual interpretation of DDT results is a tedious task and susceptible to human errors. Computer vision-based automated interpretation of DDT results will speed up the process and reduces the manpower requirement. This would assist the physician to initiate the antibiotic treatment for the patients on time and results in saving the patient's life. The crucial step in automatic interpretation of DDT result is to measure and present the diameter of zone of inhibition without manual intervention. The existing methods require manual interventions at various stages during inhibition zone diameter measurement for some typical cases. This issue is addressed in the present work through maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) based algorithm. Dataset consisting of 60 agar plate images that includes different agar medium, images having different resolution and visual quality is used to validate the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrated that there is a strong correlation between standard method and the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296940","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}
