Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being used in image retrieval systems for medical decision making. One application of ML to retrieve visually similar images from past patients (e.g. tissue biopsies) reference when making a with new patient. However, no algorithm can perfectly capture an expert's ideal notion similarity every case: that algorithmically determined be may not medically relevant doctor's specific diagnostic needs. In this paper, we identified the needs pathologists...
Deriving interpretable prognostic features from deep-learning-based histopathology models remains a challenge. In this study, we developed deep learning system (DLS) for predicting disease specific survival stage II and III colorectal cancer using 3,652 cases (27,300 slides). When evaluated on two validation datasets containing 1,239 (9,340 slides) 738 (7,140 respectively, the DLS achieved 5-year disease-specific AUC of 0.70 (95%CI 0.66-0.73) 0.69 0.64-0.72), added significant predictive...
The increasing availability of large institutional and public histopathology image datasets is enabling the searching these for diagnosis, research, education. Although typically have associated metadata such as diagnosis or clinical notes, even carefully curated rarely contain annotations location regions interest on each image. As pathology images are extremely (up to 100,000 pixels in dimension), further laborious visual search may be needed find feature interest. In this paper, we...
Histologic grading of breast cancer involves review and scoring three well-established morphologic features: mitotic count, nuclear pleomorphism, tubule formation. Taken together, these features form the basis Nottingham Grading System which is used to inform characterization prognosis. In this study, we develop deep learning models perform histologic all components using digitized hematoxylin eosin-stained slides containing invasive carcinoma. We first evaluate model performance...
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for task-oriented dialogue across a range of domains. The use LLMs in health and fitness coaching is under-explored. Behavior science frameworks such as COM-B, which conceptualizes behavior change terms capability (C), Opportunity (O) Motivation (M), can be used to architect interventions way that promotes sustained change. Here we aim incorporate principles into an LLM using two knowledge infusion techniques: coach message priming (where...
Aim of this paper is to explore the potential buffalo husbandry for providing sustainable livelihood small farmers in developing countries.The world population 200 million buffaloes has been distributed over 40 countries, but 97 percent confined Asia and India with 109 hosting 57 total population.These include swamp buffaloes, which are used meat draught purposes river mainly maintained milk production.Buffalo hardier than cattle because its ability digest coarse fibre susceptible high...
Upgradation of the progeny low productive nondescript cattle through crossbreeding during 60’s, marked involvement marginal and small farmers who represented 85% land holders in India, dairy industry. Various development organisations took initiatives to conserve local breeds cows buffaloes. To study response genetic improvement upgradation with native breeds, a field survey was conducted 8 states where BAIF has been providing livestock breeding services. The revealed that reliable services,...
Goat has been economically important to people living in arid, semiarid, hilly and remote tribal areas, because of its tolerance harsh weather conditions, ability feed on inferior quality crop residues, high prolificacy, short gestation period rate growth.The presence 94.36 per cent the world goat population Asia Africa reflected utility where most world's poor have living.Goat is a source milk, meat financial security, for families lower income groups.However, production potentials not...
Livestock is an important asset of small and marginal farmers in the Indian rural economy, however, its profitability dependent on efficient feeding marketing. Chronic shortage feed fodder resources during last few decades indicates that most livestock were underfed. This could be traced to growing population, low productivity less emphasis forage cultivation by owners. Neglect community pastures lack concern for development reflect performance ruminants. Owners did not show interest their...
We design and implement a personalized automated physical activity coaching engine, PACE, which uses the Fogg's behavioral model (FBM) to engage users in mini-conversation based sessions. It is chat-based nudge assistant that can boost (encourage) sense (ask) motivation, ability propensity of walk help them achieving their step count targets, similar human coach. demonstrate feasibility, effectiveness acceptability PACE by directly comparing coaches Wizard-of-Oz deployment study with 33...
Small land holdings, low agricultural productivity and lack of employment opportunities, have compelled over 25% the rural population in India, to live poverty livestock is a major source their livelihood. In 33.014 million households keep goats; 70% 135.17 goats are maintained by poor for milk, meat, manure emergency cash reserve. However, they not been able realise potential goat husbandry due veterinary services, financial support market linkage. The only existing scheme Government India...
Milk has special significance in Indian mythology, culture and diet. While milk been considered as a complete food since ages, there are many lobbies, who have discouraging consumption of citing health or cruelty reasons. This review article discusses about the latest controversy quality produced by certain exotic breeds cattle.
Over 30% rural families in India live poverty due to small holdings and low soil productivity. As many underutilised tree species are tolerant harsh agro-climatic conditions, BAIF promoted agri-horti-forestry on degraded lands inhabited by tribals. Traditionally dependent non-timber forest products, they selected tamarind (Tamarindus indica), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) ber (Zizyphus mauritiana), apart from mango cashew for their livelihood....

Introduction of Phase Transfer Catalysis (PTC) technology, which was developed in the 1970s has revolutionised dyes and pharmaceutical industries many ways. PTC is a process that facilitates organic compounds to move from one phase another phase, without any change chemical qualities. Application this technology explored 1980s for agriculture, by using different plant extracts as PT catalysts. The objective facilitate increased absorption nutrients plants, stimulating growth easy...
The article summarises the outcomes of an international conference Laboratory Animal Scientists’ Association (LASA, India) on “Advancements 3Rs in Biomedical Research, Science and Welfare: International Perspectives” which was organised by Conference Committee Organising Secretary, Dr. R K Shakthi Devan, Syngene Ltd, Bangalore; Association; Indian College Medicine at National Seminar Complex, JN Tata Auditorium, Institute Science, Bangalore 7 8 November 2023 preconference workshops also held...
Goat husbandry has been supporting the livelihood of over 100 million families living in arid and semi-arid regions Asia Africa, but most them have not able to earn substantial income, due poor goat practices. Key factors influencing productivity - better management pregnant does, high weight kids at birth acceleration gain during pre-weaning period, apart from general such as breed, efficient breeding service, health care marketing. This paper identified various contributing status goats...
India and many developing countries in Asia Africa are posed with the challenges of food insecurity poverty for next three decades, because growing demand commodities depletion natural resources, global warming. While efforts being made to increase agricultural production, serious attempts needed crop yields income small holder farmers, without polluting environment. Fortunately, recent introduction nanotechnology increasing production has indicated its potential yields, while improving soil...
