Thinking about the most disadvantaged, deprived, and vulnerable groups while living in a country with one of the fastest-growing economies in the world is no great surprise.In this independent country, there are those who are experiencing an identity crisis in everyday life. They are stigmatized as "Born Criminals" by society, and their numerous silent sacrifices are never documented in the pages of history. These so-called De-notified in government records have the most dreadful living conditions. The Indian government, as well as various state governments, have taken numerous steps to help them return to the mainstream, but these efforts have yet to bear fruit. The current paper is an attempt to carry the torch for these de-notified but respectable members of society who, even after seventy years of Indian independence, find themselves at a crossroads or just a mere identity.

Published: September 2022

Background Low birth weight is a key underlying factor in neonatal mortality, which is the leading cause of death i n children under five years of age. The causes of IUGR can be maternal, placental, fetal, genetic cause or combination of these factors. Maternal causes include age, multiparty, nutritional deficiency, medical disorders, medications, substance abuse. According to some recent studies early detection of Maternal Vitamin B12 deficiency in pregnancy and appropriate interventions are likely to reduce incidence of IUGR. Therefore we conduct a prospective observational study in a cohort of pregnant women to investigate the maternal determinant of risk of IUGR and to analyze maternal Vitamin B 12 status and role of its deficiency towards the risk of IUGR. Methods Prospective cohort study. After obtaining ethical clearance study subjects counseled about the study and informed consent obtained. In our study we found low maternal vitamin B12 is directly associated with IUGR & Low birth weight. In our study low APGAR score babies & SNCU admission is significantly higher among mothers with low serum vitamin B12. This may be due to preterm birth& IUGR.

Published: September 2022

Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the largest causes of mortality worldwide. Clopidogrel, antiplatelet drug, has been widely used for management of CAD. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of clopidogrel on the oxidative stress in CAD patients. Methods: One hundred CAD patients, who were followed-up for 5 days after receiving clopidogrel, and 50 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Parameters include catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant capacity (TOC), total protein, albumin, and globulins were determined before and after treatment with clopidogrel. Results: CAT, TAC, and Tp were significantly decreased (P<0.0001) in CAD patients compared to healthy control and the levels of these parameters were returned to increase after receiving clopidogrel. However, TOC level was markedly increased (P<0.0001) in CAD patients and returned to decrease after treating with clopidogrel. Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that CAT gave a higher sensitivity (68-73%) and specificity (72%) as an indicator for monitoring of CAD progression. Conclusion: CAT activity and TAC were significantly increased as a response of receiving clopidogrel which is helpful to reduce the risk of CAD through scavenging of oxidants formation. These results also present CAT as a predictor variable of clopidogrel action.

Spatial Analysis of the Geoecological Adequability Index in Semi-Arid Watersheds, Northeast of Brazil
Authors: Severo Chaves Ana Maria
Published: September 2022

stract This research aimed to perform a comparative analysis of Geoecological Adequability (GA) in two semi-arid watersheds in Northeastern Brazil based on a classification carried out in a GIS (Geographic Information System) environment using the algebra map tool. The GA calculation reveals the interactions between landscape components through GIS, namely soil, slope, vegetation and land cover. Weights were assigned (1, 2 or 3) to the different cartographic layers of the geoecological components measured using the algebra map tool, through the arithmetic means, to classify the semiarid basins into different adequability levels, as follows: adequate, partially adequate and inadequate to anthropic uses. These procedures verified the predominance of the “adequate” class with a territorial area above 42% in both investigated basins; the “partially adequate” level and the second most comprehensive class comprised values between 30% and 40%; and, while smaller territorial extensions, below 20%, were “inadequate”. Based on these findings, it was possible to measure the most suitable areas for anthropic use in the studied basins and indicate the areas that should be conserved, with emphasis on protection and/or regeneration of the natural vegetation cover. This is important information concerning the planning and environmental management of these semi-arid landscapes in an objective and efficient way

It is crucial to quickly identify plant diseases since they impede the development of affected plants. Despite the widespread use of Machine Learning (ML) models for this purpose, the recent advances in a subset of ML known as Deep Learning (DL) suggest that this field of study has much room for improvement in terms of detection and classification accuracy. To identify and categorize plant diseases, a wide variety of established and customized DL architectures are deployed with several visual analysis methods. In this study, we use deep learning techniques to create a model for a convolutional neural network that can identify and diagnose plant diseases using very basic photos of healthy and sick plant leaves. The models were trained using an open library of 20639 photos that included both healthy and diseased plants across 15 different classifications. Some model architectures were trained, with the highest performance obtaining a success rate of 97.70% in detecting the correct [plant, illness] pair (or healthy plant). Due to its impressive success rate, the model is a valuable advising or early warning tool, and its technique might be developed to help an integrated plant disease diagnosis system function in actual production settings.

Among women, breast cancer has a high incidence and high fatality rate. Due to a lack of early detection facilities and barriers to accessing technological improvements in battling this illness, mortality rates are disproportionately greater in underdeveloped countries. Biopsies done by trained pathologists are the only certain approach to diagnosing cancer. With the use of computer-aided diagnostic algorithms, pathologists may improve their efficiency, objectivity, and consistency in making diagnoses. A key goal of this research is to create an accurate automated system for diagnosing breast cancer that can function in the current clinical setting. In this work, we offer an algorithm for the identification of breast cancer that uses asymmetric analysis as the basic choice and decision-level fusion. Fusion of local nuclei features extracted using convolutional neural network (CNN) models pre-trained on the database constitutes the picture feature representation. The dataset is accessible for public use, and the results are evaluated by running 25 random trials with an 80%-20% split between train and test. Overall, the suggested framework was 86%. The proposed framework is shown to outperform numerous current methods and to provide results on par with the state-of-the-art techniques without requiring extensive computing resources. Breast cancer detection from histological pictures may be greatly aided by the use of this qualitative approach based on transfer learning.

Among the most frequent forms of cancer, skin cancer accounts for hundreds of thousands of fatalities annually throughout the globe. It shows up as excessive cell proliferation on the skin. The likelihood of a successful recovery is greatly enhanced by an early diagnosis. More than that, it might reduce the need for or the frequency of chemical, radiological, or surgical treatments. As a result, savings on healthcare expenses will be possible. Dermoscopy, which examines the size, form, and color features of skin lesions, is the first step in the process of detecting skin cancer and is followed by sample and lab testing to confirm any suspicious lesions. Deep learning AI has allowed for significant progress in image-based diagnostics in recent years. Deep neural networks known as convolutional neural networks (CNNs or ConvNets) are essentially an extended form of multi-layer perceptrons. In visual imaging challenges, CNNs have shown the best accuracy. The purpose of this research is to create a CNN model for the early identification of skin cancer. The backend of the CNN classification model will be built using Keras and Tensorflow in Python. Different network topologies, such as Convolutional layers, Dropout layers, Pooling layers, and Dense layers, are explored and tried out throughout the model's development and validation phases. Transfer Learning methods will also be included in the model to facilitate early convergence. The dataset gathered from the ISIC challenge archives will be used to both tests and train the model.
