Advance IoT Intelligent Healthcare System for Lung Disease Classification Using Ensemble Techniques

In healthcare systems,the Internet of Things(IoT)innovation and development approached new ways to evaluate patient data.A cloud-based platform tends to process data generated by IoT medical devices instead of high storage,and computational hardware.In this paper,an intelligent healthcare system has been proposed for the prediction and severity analysis of lung disease from chest computer tomography(CT)images of patients with pneumonia,Covid-19,tuberculosis(TB),and cancer.Firstly,the CT images are captured and transmitted to the fog node through IoT devices.In the fog node,the image gets modified into a convenient and efficient format for further processing.advanced encryption Standard(AES)algorithm serves a substantial role in IoT and fog nodes for preventing data from being accessed by other operating systems.Finally,the preprocessed image can be classified automatically in the cloud by using various transfer and ensemble learning models.Herein different pre-trained deep learning architectures(Inception-ResNet-v2,VGG-19,ResNet-50)used transfer learning is adopted for feature extraction.The softmax of heterogeneous base classifiers assists to make individual predictions.As a meta-classifier,the ensemble approach is employed to obtain final optimal results.Disease predicted image is consigned to the recurrent neural network with long short-term memory(RNN-LSTM)for severity analysis,and the patient is directed to seek therapy based on the outcome.The proposed method achieved 98.6%accuracy,0.978 precision,0.982 recalls,and 0.974 F1-score on five class classifications.The experimental findings reveal that the proposed framework assists medical experts with lung disease screening and provides a valuable second perspective.

China's Oral Care System in Transition:Lessons to be Learned from Germany

Aim The objective of this discussion paper is to investigate whether the experience gained through the German paradigm shift in dental care can be of benefit in China＇s deliberations on the introduction of universal dental care for its people. Methodology A comparison of representative oral health outcome data from China and Germany, two countries at different stages in their development, is presented here in order to analyse whether the findings meet expected outcome and confirm the presumption that more developed countries perform better. Results The epidemiological comparison reveals surprising findings concerning the severity of dental diseases and, in particular, missing teeth per person in adults and rates of total edentulousness in seniors. In all of these areas German adults and seniors show significantly inferior outcomes compared with the Chinese population. The mainreason for these striking discrepancies, as it turned out, is the decisive role played by the treatment philosophies and strategies of German dentists. Conelusion and recommendations If dentists take a less interventionist approach, checking as well as treating dental diseases with preventive and strictly tooth-preserving methods, dental treatment results in oral health. Under these condi- tions it can be assumed that modem dentistry is generally good for the teeth. These findings are important for developing countries that are seeking to integrate dental care into their health care system. On the basis of long-term experience from highly industrialized Western countries and especially from Germany we will attempt to put forward proposals for creating an effective and efficient dental care system in China.

Clarifying Problems with Emergency Healthcare Systems in Japanese Long-Term Care Facilities for Older People

Background: Long-term care facilities for older people play an important role as alternatives to family care in an aging society. This study aimed to assess staffing problems linked to emergency healthcare for residents of these facilities, and to investigate the relationship between these problems and the characteristics of the facilities. Methods: The study surveyed managers of long-term care facilities for older people in a Japanese urban area between September and December 2014. The type of care facility, the number of staff and any problems providing or accessing emergency healthcare for the residents were evaluated. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors common to facilities reporting staffing problems linked to emergency healthcare of residents. Results: In total, 321 long-term care facilities were eligible for this study and 226 (70%) returned the questionnaire. We compared the characteristics of facilities reporting and not reporting staffing problems in emergency healthcare of residents. The type of care facility was significantly associated with staffing problems in emergency healthcare of residents both during the day (p < 0.01) and at night (p = 0.04). The facilities most likely to report problems were group homes for older people with dementia, because of staffing shortages. Conclusions: Problems in emergency healthcare systems in Japanese long-term care facilities for older people varied by type of care facility. Our data underscore the need for telemedicine and consideration of mergers between smaller facilities such as group homes for older people with dementia.

Investigating the Suitability of Agile Methods for Requirements Development of Home Care Systems

The ageing population in developed countries brings many benefits but also many challenges, particularly in terms of the development of appropriate technology to support their ability to remain in their own home environment. One particular challenge reported for such Home Care Systems (HCS) is the identification of an appropriate requirements development technique for dealing with the typical diverse stakeholders involved. Agile Methods (AMs) recognize this challenge and propose techniques that could be useful. This paper examines the desirable characteristics identified for requirements development in HCS and investigates the extent to which agile practices conform to these.

Palliative care for end-stage liver disease and acute on chronic liver failure:A systematic review

BACKGROUND End stage liver disease(ESLD)represents a growing health concern characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality,particularly among individual ineligible for liver transplantation.The demand for palliative care(PC)is pronounced in patients grappling with ESLD and acute on chronic liver failure(ACLF).Unfortunately,the historical underutilization of PC in ESLD patients,despite their substantial needs and those of their family caregivers,underscores the imperative of seamlessly integrating PC principles into routine healthcare practices across the entire disease spectrum.AIM To comprehensively investigate the evidence surrounding the benefits of incorporating PC into the comprehensive care plan for individuals confronting ESLD and/or ACLF.METHODS A systematic search in the Medline(PubMed)database was performed using a predetermined search command,encompassing studies published in English without any restrictions on the publication date.Subsequently,the retrieved studies were manually examined.Simple descriptive analyses were employed to summarize the results.RESULTS The search strategies yielded 721 references.Following the final analysis,32 fulllength references met the inclusion criteria and were consequently incorporated into the study.Meticulous data extraction from these 32 studies was undertaken,leading to the execution of a comprehensive narrative systematic review.The review found that PC provides significant benefits,reducing symptom burden,depressive symptoms,readmission rates,and hospital stays.Yet,barriers like the appeal of transplants and misconceptions about PC hinder optimal utilization.Integrating PC early,upon the diagnosis of ESLD and ACLF,regardless of transplant eligibility and availability,improves the quality of life for these patients.CONCLUSION Despite the substantial suffering and poor prognosis associated with ESLD and ACLF,where liver transplantation stands as the only curative treatment,albeit largely inaccessible,PC services have been overtly provided too late in the course of the illness.A comprehensive understanding of PC's pivotal role in treating ESLD and ACLF is crucial for overcoming these barriers,involving healthcare providers,patients,and caregivers.

Deep Learning-Driven Anomaly Detection for IoMT-Based Smart Healthcare Systems

The Internet of Medical Things(IoMT)is an emerging technology that combines the Internet of Things(IoT)into the healthcare sector,which brings remarkable benefits to facilitate remote patient monitoring and reduce treatment costs.As IoMT devices become more scalable,Smart Healthcare Systems(SHS)have become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks.Intrusion Detection Systems(IDS)play a crucial role in maintaining network security.An IDS monitors systems or networks for suspicious activities or potential threats,safeguarding internal networks.This paper presents the development of an IDS based on deep learning techniques utilizing benchmark datasets.We propose a multilayer perceptron-based framework for intrusion detection within the smart healthcare domain.The primary objective of our work is to protect smart healthcare devices and networks from malicious attacks and security risks.We employ the NSL-KDD and UNSW-NB15 intrusion detection datasets to evaluate our proposed security framework.The proposed framework achieved an accuracy of 95.0674%,surpassing that of comparable deep learning models in smart healthcare while also reducing the false positive rate.Experimental results indicate the feasibility of using a multilayer perceptron,achieving superior performance against cybersecurity threats in the smart healthcare domain.

Revealing the Trends in the Academic Landscape of the Health Care System Using Contextual Topic Modeling

The health care system encompasses the participation of individuals,groups,agencies,and resources that offer services to address the requirements of the person,community,and population in terms of health.Parallel to the rising debates on the healthcare systems in relation to diseases,treatments,interventions,medication,and clinical practice guidelines,the world is currently discussing the healthcare industry,technology perspectives,and healthcare costs.To gain a comprehensive understanding of the healthcare systems research paradigm,we offered a novel contextual topic modeling approach that links up the CombinedTM model with our healthcare Bert to discover the contextual topics in the domain of healthcare.This research work discovered 60 contextual topics among them fteen topics are the hottest which include smart medical monitoring systems,causes,and effects of stress and anxiety,and healthcare cost estimation and twelve topics are the coldest.Moreover,thirty-three topics are showing in-significant trends.We further investigated various clusters and correlations among the topics exploring inter-topic distance maps which add depth to the understanding of the research structure of this scientific domain.The current study enhances the prior topic modeling methodologies that examine the healthcare literature from a particular disciplinary perspective.It further extends the existing topic modeling approaches that do not incorporate contextual information in the topic discovery process adding contextual information by creating sentence embedding vectors through transformers-based models.We also utilized corpus tuning,the mean pooling technique,and the hugging face tool.Our method gives a higher coherence score as compared to the state-of-the-art models(LSA,LDA,and Ber Topic).

Management of sepsis in a cirrhotic patient admitted to the intensive care unit:A systematic literature review

BACKGROUND Sepsis is a severe medical condition that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection,leading to life-threatening organ dysfunction.The"Third international consensus definitions for sepsis and septic shock(Sepsis-3)"defines sepsis as an increase in sequential organ failure assessment score of 2 points or more,with a mortality rate above 10%.Sepsis is a leading cause of intensive care unit(ICU)admissions,and patients with underlying conditions such as cirrhosis have a higher risk of poor outcomes.Therefore,it is critical to recognize and manage sepsis promptly by administering fluids,vasopressors,steroids,and antibiotics,and identifying and treating the source of infection.AIM To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature on the management of sepsis in cirrhotic patients admitted to the ICU and compare the management of sepsis between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients in the ICU.METHODS This study is a systematic literature review that followed the PRISMA statement's standardized search method.The search for relevant studies was conducted across multiple databases,including PubMed,Embase,Base,and Cochrane,using predefined search terms.One reviewer conducted the initial search,and the eligibility criteria were applied to the titles and abstracts of the retrieved articles.The selected articles were then evaluated based on the research objectives to ensure relevance to the study's aims.RESULTS The study findings indicate that cirrhotic patients are more susceptible to infections,resulting in higher mortality rates ranging from 18%to 60%.Early identification of the infection source followed by timely administration of antibiotics,vasopressors,and corticosteroids has been shown to improve patient outcomes.Procalcitonin is a useful biomarker for diagnosing infections in cirrhotic patients.Moreover,presepsin and resistin have been found to be reliable markers of bacterial infection in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis,with similar diagnostic performance compared to procalcitonin.CONCLUSION This review highlights the importance of early detection and management of infections in cirrhosis patients to reduce mortality.Therefore,early detection of infection using procalcitonin test and other biomarker as presepsin and resistin,associated with early management with antibiotics,fluids,vasopressors and low dose corticosteroids might reduce the mortality associated with sepsis in cirrhotic patients.
