Vol 2, No 2 (2018): Lung Cancer Prediction by Gene Selection

Authors:- L Nishitha, Manasa S K, Manisha S K, Nithya A, Meenakshi

Abstract:-Microarray is one of the most promising tools available for life sciences researchers to study about gene expression profiles. Gene expression levels can be obtained through microarray analysis and the biological information of a disease can be identified. Cancer is a group of diseases which involves uncontrollable cell division with the potential to spread to other parts of the body destroying neighboring organs causing bleeding, blockages and loss of production of normal biochemical products. It results in decreased immunity and loss of body weight. Lung cancer is one of the leading cancer causes of death in this highly progressive world. An abysmally low rate of cure shows the inclination of lung cancer to usually be present as clinically advanced tumors. Most lung cancers are discovered very late, by which time the option for effective treatment is very limited. It is very important that the general physicians recognize the tumor or a lesion for what it is and know how to proceed with the investigation. Lung cancer can be identified at a time that is far more curable by predicting the chances of an individual getting said cancer. This can be done by matching an individual’s DNA with the diseased DNA (DNA affected with lung cancer) and matching them to calculate the chances of the individual being affected with cancer. For this, subset of genes is selected from a large dataset with redundant genes (noisy data) so that their features are distinguishable between normal and diseased gene samples. In this paper, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is used to perform sample classification of genes and make use of a meta-heuristic algorithm for optimal matching in order to predict an individual’s chances of getting lung cancer.

Vol 2, No 1 (2018): Brain Tumor Detection using Artificial Neural Networks

Authors: V. Gupta, R. Sharma, S. Kaur

Abstract: In this paper we propose a system which uses computer-based procedures to detect tumor blocks and classify the type of tumor using artificial neural networks for Magnetic Response Imaging (MRI) images of different patients. Here, we present a system to classify the given MRI brain images as normal or abnormal. The proposed system employs wavelet transform to extract features from images, followed by applying principle component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensions of features. Different image processing techniques such as image segmentation, image enhancement and feature extraction are used for detection of the brain tumor in the MRI images of the cancer affected patients. Medical image processing is the fast growing and challenging field nowadays. Detecting brain tumor using image processing techniques involves four stages namely image preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Image processing and neural network techniques are used to improve the performance of training and classifying brain tumor in MRI images. It is expected that the experimental results of the proposed system will give better result in comparison to other existing systems.

Vol 2, No 2 (2017): Understanding Human Behaviour and PsychoSomatic Disorders by Audio Visual EMG & GSR Biofeedback Analysis and Spiritual M

Authors:

Abstract: Background It is amazing that today’s man, despite knowing so much about the world around him, knows so little about his own self. The more one tries to know subtle world, the more enigmatic and mysterious it becomes, the reach of human mind is indeed infinite but the mental complexities generated thereby have not only hindered and hampered the elevation of personality, but also have shaken and cracked its inner structure and stability. In professional youths between the age group of 20-24 years lots of psychological imbalances arise due to emotional immaturity and lack of knowledge of inner self. Spirituality with mindful meditation along with positive attitude is the only way through which one can get well soon from all types of problems by following some discipline. “Mental health connotates those behaviors, perceptions and feelings that determines a person’s overall level of personal effectiveness, success, happiness and excellence of functioning as a person.â€Â Stress due to headache (TTH) is the commonest primary headache. The objective of the present study was to compare the effects of EMG and GSR integrated BioFeedbacks on stress due to headache and quality-of-life of the subjects under consideration. Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback (BF) and GSR(Galvenic Skin Resistance) is considered an effective therapy for headaches. There is no such comparative effects of visual and auditory EMG biofeedback for headache. Methods: We applied the random sampling in selection of the subjects suffering with headache and care was taken that they ensure to fulfill the International Headache Society criteria. Subjects under consideration were assigned the two groups of GSR integrated audio-visual feedback (GSR(audio-visual), EMG(audio-visual) integrated feedback groups. In ten sessions, the subjects experienced the GSR and EMG BF therapy fifteen minutes. The variables for stress (pain) and SF-36(Quality of life) scores were recorded at starting point, 30 days and 90 days after the starting of GSR and EMG BF therapy. Thus the present study shows that mindful meditation practices help to reduce the stress level in daily life. Results: The Physical, Mental and total scores increased over the time duration of SF-36 scores after 30 and 90 days recordings (p<0.05). Inter group analysis has demonstrated the improvement. EMG-audio visual Biofeedback group also showed highest improvement in SF-36 scores at first and third month follow up. Conclusion: GSR and EMG integrated auditory-visual biofeedbacks are efficient in solution of stress due to TTH with most advantage seen.

Vol 1, No 2 (2017)

Authors: Saimar Khan S, Surya S R

Abstract: Precise and accordant detection and prognosis, CAD (computer aided diagnosis) plays a fair role in predicting the outcome of the treatment and planning of the therapy. Detection and segmentation of the cells are the important steps in a CAD. These steps are difficult due to touching cells, untidy background and variation in the shapes of the cell and changes inside the nuclei. In this paper, we present an analysis based on the textual features of the detected cell after the detection of the cell using adaptive dictionary selection and the sparse reconstruction technique with trivial template. The analysis is done on the basis of the first order and second order statistical features. The proposed method has been tested on a data set with 1000 cells extracted from 20 whole slide scanned images.

Vol 1, No 2 (2017): Independent Shopping Assistant for Blind with RFID

Authors: Rajesh N. Kamath, Namita Tamse, Pranjali Pandrekar, Vinaya Juvekar, Nitya Naik

Abstract: Visual impairments, as well as other physical and cognitive disabilities, imply a certain degree of dependency in ordinary task performance, such as shopping in a retail store. Ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies have tried to encourage the independence of impaired or elderly people. IN addition to home assistance, daily activities such as shopping are of interest in any AAL scenario that attempts to solve open problems such as navigation or unassisted indications. Visually impaired people might have problems identifying the object with which they want to interact. Traditionally, assistance from a third person is essential in such cases, which deprives the user of independence. By using IOT technology, have tried to encourage the independence of impaired. When the person stands in front of a shelf the RFID detector will detect the tag, play the information about the item and also give navigation assistance to him enabling him to shop independently.
