Abstract The prediction of pregnancy-related hazards must be accurate and timely to safeguard mother and fetal health. This study aims to enhance risk prediction in pregnancy with a novel deep learning model based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) generator, designed to capture temporal relationships in cardiotocography (CTG) data. This methodology integrates CTG signals with demographic characteristics and utilizes preprocessing techniques such as noise reduction, normalization, and segmentation to create high-quality input for the model. It uses convolutional layers to extract spatial information, followed by LSTM layers to model sequences for superior predictive performance. The overall More >

Abstract Despite extensive prevention efforts and research, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) remains a major public health challenge, particularly in tropical regions, with significant social, economic, and health consequences. Statistical models are crucial in studying infectious DHF by providing a structured framework to analyze transmission dynamics between humans (hosts) and mosquitoes (vectors). Depending on the disease characteristics, different stochastic compartmental models can be employed. This research applies Bayesian Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) to the SIR-SI model for DHF data. The method delivers accurate parameter estimates, improved computational efficiency, and effective integration with early warning systems. The… More >

Abstract This study rigorously evaluates the potential of transfer learning in diagnosing retinal eye diseases using advanced models such as YOLOv8, Xception, ConvNeXtTiny, and VGG16. All models were trained on the esteemed RFMiD dataset, which includes images classified into six critical categories: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), Macular Hole (MH), Diabetic Neuropathy (DN), Optic Disc Changes (ODC), Tesselated Fundus (TSLN), and normal cases. The research emphasizes enhancing model performance by prioritizing recall metrics, a crucial strategy aimed at minimizing false negatives in medical diagnostics. To address the challenge of imbalanced data, we implemented effective preprocessing techniques, including cropping,… More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that can lead to reduced vision or even blindness if left untreated. Therefore, early and accurate detection of this disease is crucial for diabetic patients to prevent vision loss. This study aims to develop a deep-learning approach for the early and precise diagnosis of DR, as manual detection can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. The classification task is divided into two groups for binary classification: patients with DR (diagnoses 1–4) and those without DR (diagnosis 0). For multi-class classification, the categories are no DR,… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) advances allow healthcare providers to distantly gather and immediately analyze patient health data for diagnostic purposes via connected health devices. In a COVID-19-like pandemic, connected devices can mitigate virus spread and make essential information, such as respiratory patterns, available to healthcare professionals. However, these devices generate vast amounts of data, rendering them susceptible to privacy breaches, and data leaks. Blockchain technology is a robust solution to address these issues in telemedicine systems. This paper proposes a blockchain-based access management solution to enhance patient privacy and secure telehealth and telemedicine data.… More >

Abstract In secure communications, lightweight encryption has become crucial, particularly for resource-constrained applications such as embedded devices, wireless sensor networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). As these systems proliferate, cryptographic approaches that provide robust security while minimizing computing overhead, energy consumption, and memory usage are becoming increasingly essential. This study examines lightweight encryption techniques utilizing chaotic maps to ensure secure data transmission. Two algorithms are proposed, both employing the Logistic map; the first approach utilizes two logistic chaotic maps, while the second algorithm employs a single logistic chaotic map.
