Children aged between 2 and 12 years undergoing adenoidectomy were included. Parents were asked to fill the Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18) Quality of Life Index Questionnaire one day before surgery and after one month of surgery during their scheduled follow-up visit. The study was conducted over a period of 1 year and total of 40 children's assessment was done. Results were tabulated and analyzed. <b>Results</b>: The mean age of presentation was 6 years. Based on OSA-18 quality of life assessment scoring the total pre-operative mean score was 73.3 and post-operative was 40.5. There was significant change in OSA-18 total score and individual domain scores post-operatively indicating significant improvement in QOL post adenoidectomy. The domains most affected due to chronic adenoid hypertrophy were physical suffering, caregiver concerns and sleep disturbance (p value < 0.001).<b>Conclusion</b>: Chronic adenoid hypertrophy has major impact on quality of life of a child along with caregiver concern and they show significant improvement after adenoidectomy.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-04000-z.</p>","PeriodicalId":51752,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"3396-3401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10645970/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88920783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep convolutional neural networks (deep CNN) can be used to develop a rapid detection system of COVID-19. Among all the existing literature, ResNet50 is showing better performance, but with three main limitations, i.e.: 1) overfitting;2) computation cost;3) loss of feature information. To overcome these problems authors have proposed four different modifications on ResNet50, naming it as LightWeightResNet50. An image dataset containing chest X-ray images of coronavirus patients and normal persons is used for evaluation. Five-fold cross-validation is applied with transfer learning. Ten different performance measures (true positive, false negative, false positive, true negative, accuracy, recall, specificity, precision, F1-score and area under curve) are used for evaluation along with fold-wise performance measures comparison. The four proposed methods have an accuracy improvement of 4%, 13%, 14% and 7% respectively when compared with ResNet50.","PeriodicalId":51752,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66807156","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}
