Blockchain-based transfer learning for health screening with digital anthropometry from body images
AbstractAnthropoid images encode reliable biometric information in abundance. Recent research on image-based screening drives this effort to investigate the feasibility of interpreting the inherent nutritional state from multidimensional human body images. However, anthropometric databases are becoming increasingly essential and grow in parallel to achieve efficient system designs. Typically, learning models on anthropometric databases require voluminous  datasets, and obtaining huge volumes of labeled data for supervised algorithms can be challenging due to the time and cost complexity required to classify data points....

A new clustering algorithm for genes with multiple cancer diseases by self-consistent field iteration method
AbstractAn increasing body of literature shows that predicting gene clusters related to human cancer disease using biological networks is significant in bioinformation, it would help to understand disease mechanisms, and benefit the development of diagnostics and therapeutics. However, due to noise and preprocessing of data, a single network or graph generated from one cancer disease is insufficient to cluster genes. As some cancer diseases are correlated with each other in practice, by integrating several gene expression networks generated from those associated cancer diseases, more accurate and robust partition of genes ...

A spider tool-based qualitative analysis of machine learning for wrist pulse analysis
AbstractAyurveda and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have used wrist pulse analysis for centuries. It is a non-invasive, novel, convenient, and highly successful disease diagnosis technique that analyses the pulse pattern from the patient ’s wrist. During the wrist pulse diagnostic, the clinician uses three fingers to palpate the patient’s wrist to analyze the pressure unbalance as an imbalance of force under the finger may be the cause of disease. However, the unsatisfactory results of clinical rating scales pave the path for fu ture research. Usage of radial pulse to analyze and diagnose disease seems to be a comp...

Directive clustering contrast-based multi-modality medical image fusion for smart healthcare system
AbstractSmart healthcare is being adopted gradually as information technology advances. The enormous increase in demand for smart medical imaging has resulted in the fusion of a number of important imaging technologies. In smart imaging, many times single modality images are not sufficient to extract the major or minor information from medical images. Therefore in this paper, a new fusion algorithm is introduced for multi-modality medical images to extract maximum information and provide an efficient fused image. In proposed scheme, NSCT is used to get low- and high-frequency components of the medical images. Further, clus...

Diagnosis of coronary artery occlusion by fitting polynomial curve with the ECG signal based on optimization techniques
In this study, however, a polynomial curve fitting technique based on optimization strategies was used to diagnose coronary artery occlusion. The signals with the noise were removed using a discrete wavelet transform. This is followed by a hamming window function which shows the signals with 2000 samples. This was further applied to the polynomial fitting function to obtain polynomial coefficients of the given signal. The polynomial coefficients were obtained by choosing the best value of the polynomial order n using genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithm. Area, variance, kurtosis, root means, and form factor we...

Deathdaily: A Python Package Index for predicting the number of daily COVID-19 deaths
AbstractThis paper presents a new open-source program called deathdaily for predicting the number of daily COVID-19 deaths in the next 7  days. The predictions can be used by policymakers to determine whether current policies should be strengthened/mitigated or new policies should be challenged to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Although vaccines have been mitigating the pandemic initially, the recent resurgence with new variants ha s been observed in many vaccinated countries. This paper shows how to use deathdaily to detect symptoms of resurgence. The proposed deathdaily is available in public and can be installed by a ...

Bidirectional filtering approach for the improved protein coding region identification in eukaryotes
AbstractThe Gene identification problem or the computational techniques for finding the protein-coding regions in a given DNA sequence is one of the extensive research issues in bioinformatics. Conventional statistical methods that are used to identify the protein-coding region from DNA sequences are expensive and time-consuming. Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing interest in exploring DSP-based solutions to this problem. A class of infinite impulse response (IIR) anti-notch filters (ANF) has been previously used to meet the requirements. However, the prediction accuracy of these filters is still limit...

Identifying the candidate genes using co-expression, GO, and machine learning techniques for Alzheimer ’s disease
AbstractAlzheimer ’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects an individual’s memory, motor functions, behaviour, and thought process. It has been observed that the hippocampus is the first region that gets affected by Alzheimer’s. Hence, a study of the hippocampus region can identify genes responsible f or the occurrence of the early stage of the disease. Most often, t-test and correlation are used to identify significant genes at the initial level. As the genes are differentially expressed, their classification power is generally high. These genes might appear significant, but their degree of spec ificity to...
