Today, voice, fingerprint, retina/iris, and facial recognition systems are some of the biometric identification methods. These methods have become replicable with the advancement of technology. Accordingly, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are universal, unique, easy to measure, and can only be obtained from living people. For this reason, it can be accepted that ECG is an effective method that can be used to prevent counterfeiting among biometric identification methods. In this study, an algorithm that can make identification via ECG is proposed. Within the scope of the study, the time and time-frequency domain analyzes of the ECG signals obtained from the PhsiyoNet database are performed then various features are determined. These determined features were classified using machine learning methods. The performance of the developed algorithm has been calculated as 100% accuracy, 100% specificity, and 100% sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":426945,"journal":{"name":"2020 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129469971","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}

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial strain that can cause infection on the wounds, and especially control of the infections plays an important role in the wound healing process. Wound dressings are an alternative method that can be used to shorten wound healing time. At the same time, bacterial infection is tried to be prevented in the wound area by adding antibacterial materials to the contents of the dressing materials. Light applications of certain wavelengths are another method that shows antibacterial effect used in wound infection treatment. In this study, wound dressings were produced by electrospinning method using chitosan (CHT) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) materials. Also, the synergistic antibacterial effects of wound dressings and 808 nm laser light were investigated on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It was observed that the wound dressings produced with TPU and CHT have antibacterial properties and the laser light at 808 nm of wavelength increases the antibacterial efficacy of the dressings. TPU and TPU-CHT wound dressings have a synergistic antibacterial effect when induced with 808 nm laser light. Thus, light induced nanofibers can be an efficient tool to improve the treatments of infected wounds.","PeriodicalId":426945,"journal":{"name":"2020 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"87 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130667952","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 novel approach based on deep learning has been proposed to improve the accuracy rate in the prediction of hand movements. Firstly, 4-channel surface EMG (sEMG) signals have been measured while simulating 7 different hand gestures (Extension, Flexion, Open Hand, Punch, Radial Deviation, Rest, and Ulnar Deviation) from 30 participants. The obtained sEMG signals have been segmented into sections where each movement was found. Then, spectrogram images of the segmented sEMG signals have been created by means of ShortTime Fourier Transform (STFT). The created colored spectrogram images have trained with 50-layer Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based on Residual Networks (ResNet) architecture. Owing to the proposed method, test accuracy of 99.59% and F1 Score of 99.57% have achieved for 7 different hand gesture classifications.","PeriodicalId":426945,"journal":{"name":"2020 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125140680","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}

Cells have a very effective antioxidant defense to deactivate the toxic effect of ROS however, oxidative stress at abnormal levels significantly damages cellular balance. Many conditions such as inflammation, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and aging are associated with oxidative stress. Besides, oxidative stress is one of the parameters that affect the biomechanical behavior of the cell, but the mechanism of this effect still remains a mystery. In this study, oxidative stress was mimicked on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial (HUVEC) cells by using H2 O2 and the effect of this situation on cell stiffness and morphological structure was investigated interferometrically for the first time. The changes that occurred in the cell stiffness were determined by calculating the elasticity modules of the cells.

It specifically focuses on differentiating COVID-19 from pneumonia, pleural effusion and lung mass.

The analysis of lesion margin is quite important to diagnose malignant and benign masses and to detect the presence and the stage of tumor invasion in case of cancer. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to visualize and quantify margin of lesions on radiological images by means of a digital computer. In this study, computed tomography (CT) images of liver have been employed for analysis because the liver has crucial tasks in our body and liver cancer-related deaths is ranked as the forth among the cancer-related deaths. The proposed method consisted of four main steps: image cropping and smoothing, specification of target lesion, the boundary detection of target lesion, and visualization and quantification of margin. First, the images were converted to gray scale. The blank regions surrounding the liver in the CT images were removed before specification of target lesion, and further were smoothed with a bilateral filter. Next, the target region was specified roughly by drawing it manually. The boundary of lesion was more precisely determined with the active contour method employing the sketched borderline as the initial curve. Next, the properties of the target region: the centroid, major axis length, and the orientation values were computed. The intensities along a line passing through the center of the tumor were obtained for eighteen different rotation angles. A pulse model was fit to each of the intensity signal corresponding to a rotation. Then, the intensity change, margin sharpness and width were acquired from the pulse approximation associated to each rotation angle. The level difference provided the intensity change, the slope of edges gave the margin sharpness, and distance between the start and end points of the pulse edge represented margin width. Besides, the inner (core) and outer diameter with respect to angle were also displayed.","PeriodicalId":426945,"journal":{"name":"2020 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124487782","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}
