The burden of diabetes is increasing rapidly in India but a systematic understanding its distribution and time trends not available for every state India. We present comprehensive analysis the heterogeneity across all states between 1990 2016.We analysed prevalence disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from to 2016 using data sources that could be accessed as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016, assessed states. were placed four groups based on epidemiological...
Evaluation of nasal spray drug absorption has been challenging because deposited particles are consistently transported away by mucociliary clearance during diffusing through the mucus layer. This study developed a novel approach combining Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques with 1-D diffusion model to better predict absorption. integrated CFD-diffusion comprised preliminary simulation airflow, particle injection, followed analysis and solute The deposition distribution was...
To develop an artificial intelligence image classification algorithm to triage otoscopic images from rural and remote Australian Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander children.
Introduction This study introduces an AI-driven platform for continuous and passive patient monitoring in hospital settings, developed by LookDeep Health. Leveraging advanced computer vision, the provides real-time insights into behavior interactions through video analysis, securely storing inference results cloud retrospective evaluation. Methods The AI system detects key components rooms, including individuals' presence roles, furniture location, motion magnitude, boundary crossings....
To investigate the in vitro antioxidant activity of different fractions (R1, R2 and R3) obtained from pet ether extract black pepper fruits (Piper nigrum Linn.)The R1, R3 were eluted ethyl acetate ratio 6:4, 5:5 4:6, respectively. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical, superoxide anion nitric oxide hydroxyl radical scavenging assays carried out to evaluate potential extract.The free P. (PEPN) increased a concentration dependent manner. The fraction PEPN 500 microg/ml inhibited...
Abstract Objective Deep learning using convolutional neural networks represents a form of artificial intelligence where computers recognise patterns and make predictions based upon provided datasets. This study aimed to determine if network could be trained differentiate the location anterior ethmoidal artery as either adhered skull base or within bone ‘mesentery’ on sinus computed tomography scans. Methods Coronal scans were reviewed by two otolaryngology residents for used data Google...
Convolutional neural networks are a subclass of deep learning or artificial intelligence that predominantly used for image analysis and classification. This proof-of-concept study attempts to train convolutional network algorithm can reliably determine if the middle turbinate is pneumatised (concha bullosa) on coronal sinus computed tomography images.Consecutive high-resolution scans paranasal sinuses were retrospectively collected between January 2016 December 2018 at tertiary rhinology...
Abstract Background Although the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (e.g. 22-item Sino-nasal Outcomes Test [SNOT-22]) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have been defined, these definitions not extensively studied patients very severe CRSwNP, as defined by recurrent disease despite ≥ 1 previous surgery and a current need for further surgery. Therefore, symptoms visual analogue scales (VAS) were evaluated, meaningful within-patient change thresholds...
The flow characteristics and heat transfer during nasal breathing in the complete human upper airway were investigated through respiratory cycle using transient numerical simulations. We postulate that from cavity to trachea most accurately represents dynamic airflow patterns inhalation exhalation as they are likely be affected by downstream anatomical structures. A 3D model was constructed a healthy adult computed tomography scan. Computational fluid dynamics simulations performed with...
To explore the feasibility of constructing a proof-of-concept artificial intelligence algorithm to detect tympanic membrane perforations, for future application in under-resourced rural settings.A retrospective review was conducted otoscopic images analysed using transfer learning with Google's Inception-V3 convolutional neural network architecture. The 'gold standard' 'ground truth' defined by otolaryngologists. Perforation size categorised as less than one-third (small), two-thirds...
The primary objective of this research was to extract the essential information needed for setting atomization break up models, specifically, Linear Instability Sheet Atomization (LISA) breakup model, and alternative hollow cone models. A secondary gain visualization insight into mechanism caused by effects viscosity surface tension on break-up, sheet disintegration, ligament droplet formation. High speed imaging used capture near-nozzle characteristics water drug formulations. This...
To evaluate the generalizability of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that use deep learning methods to identify middle ear disease from otoscopic images, between internal external performance. 1842 images were collected three independent sources: (a) Van, Turkey, (b) Santiago, Chile, and (c) Ohio, USA. Diagnostic categories consisted (i) normal or (ii) abnormal. Deep used develop models performance, using area under curve (AUC) estimates. A pooled assessment was performed by combining...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect hoof trimmer intervention (HTI) in moderately lame cows on lameness progression and milk yield. Two freestall Holstein herds were enrolled. Cows milked 2 (herd A: 2,374 cows) or 3 B: 2,800 times a day. Within each dairy, [locomotion score (LS) = 5-point scale] randomly assigned control group (CON; herd A 66, B 84) treatment (HTI; evaluated treated by under researchers' supervision; 73; 75). Enrollment criteria <350 d milk, <180 pregnant,...
Background: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Eye-related side effects of CPAP are commonly attributed a poorly sealed mask, allowing leaked air blow over eye. Cases: We present 3 cases where attended polysomnography (A-PSG) demonstrated CPAP-associated retrograde escape via nasolacrimal system (CRANS) in absence any mask leaks. Symptoms included dry eye, epiphora, from medial canthus, and eyelid...
Background Nasal saline irrigation has become standard of care in various sinonasal conditions, including allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, the postoperative patient. Evidence regarding mechanisms dynamics liquid flow through cavity remains limited due to inadequate experimental models (cadaveric, 3‐dimensional [3D] printed, imaging labeled dyes radioisotopes). We aimed develop a computational fluid (CFD) model nasal demonstrate surface coverage, residence times...
