Abstract In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) holds immense promise for revolutionizing data analytics and decision-making processes. Current techniques for personalized medicine, disease diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and resource optimization in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) vary widely, including methods such as rule-based systems, machine learning algorithms, and data-driven approaches. However, many of these techniques face limitations in accuracy, scalability, and adaptability to complex clinical scenarios. This study investigates the synergistic potential of AI-driven optimization techniques and NLP applications in the context of the… More >

Abstract This research aims to enhance Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) within Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) by leveraging advanced machine learning techniques. Specifically, we target the challenges of accurate diagnosis in medical imaging and sequential data analysis using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers and echo state cells. These models are tailored to improve diagnostic precision, particularly for conditions like rotator cuff tears in osteoporosis patients and gastrointestinal diseases. Traditional diagnostic methods and existing CDSS frameworks often fall short in managing complex, sequential medical data, struggling with long-term dependencies and data… More >

Abstract Education is the base of the survival and growth of any state, but due to resource scarcity, students, particularly at the university level, are forced into a difficult situation. Scholarships are the most significant financial aid mechanisms developed to overcome such obstacles and assist the students in continuing with their higher studies. In this study, the convoluted situation of scholarship eligibility criteria, including parental income, responsibilities, and academic achievements, is addressed. In an attempt to maximize the scholarship selection process, numerous machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, K-Nearest Neighbors, and the C4.5… More >

Abstract This socialized environment among educated and developed people causes them to focus more on their appearance and health, which turns them towards medical-related treatments, leading us to discuss anti-aging treatment methods for each age group, particularly for urban people who are interested in this. Some anti-aging therapies are used to address the alterations brought on by aging in human life without the need for surgery or negative effects. Five anti-aging therapies such as microdermabrasion or dermabrasion, laser resurfacing anti-aging skin treatments, chemical peels, dermal fillers for aged skin, and botox injections are considered in this… More >

Abstract This paper presents a novel multiclass system designed to detect pleural effusion and pulmonary edema on chest X-ray images, addressing the critical need for early detection in healthcare. A new comprehensive dataset was formed by combining 28,309 samples from the ChestX-ray14, PadChest, and CheXpert databases, with 10,287, 6022, and 12,000 samples representing Pleural Effusion, Pulmonary Edema, and Normal cases, respectively. Consequently, the preprocessing step involves applying the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) method to boost the local contrast of the X-ray samples, then resizing the images to 380 × 380 dimensions, followed by using the data… More >

Abstract In the era of advanced machine learning techniques, the development of accurate predictive models for complex medical conditions, such as thyroid cancer, has shown remarkable progress. Accurate predictive models for thyroid cancer enhance early detection, improve resource allocation, and reduce overtreatment. However, the widespread adoption of these models in clinical practice demands predictive performance along with interpretability and transparency. This paper proposes a novel association-rule based feature-integrated machine learning model which shows better classification and prediction accuracy than present state-of-the-art models. Our study also focuses on the application of SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values as… More >

Abstract Machine Learning (ML)-based prediction and classification systems employ data and learning algorithms to forecast target values. However, improving predictive accuracy is a crucial step for informed decision-making. In the healthcare domain, data are available in the form of genetic profiles and clinical characteristics to build prediction models for complex tasks like cancer detection or diagnosis. Among ML algorithms, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are considered the most suitable framework for many classification tasks. The network weights and the activation functions are the two crucial elements in the learning process of an ANN. These weights affect the… More >

Abstract An abnormality that develops in white blood cells is called leukemia. The diagnosis of leukemia is made possible by microscopic investigation of the smear in the periphery. Prior training is necessary to complete the morphological examination of the blood smear for leukemia diagnosis. This paper proposes a Histogram Threshold Segmentation Classifier (HTsC) for a decision support system. The proposed HTsC is evaluated based on the color and brightness variation in the dataset of blood smear images. Arithmetic operations are used to crop the nucleus based on automated approximation. White Blood Cell (WBC) segmentation is calculated… More >
