Simulation and Study of Asynchronous Pacemaker via MatLab
Abstract: A pacemaker is an electronic device, which is used by heart patients when they suffer from arrhythmias. The sinoatrial node (SA node) of our heart generates electrical impulses which travel downs the atrioventricular (AV) node to the bundle of His and then to the Purkinje fibres, from where it distributes to the ventricular region. Importance of this impulse is that it makes the heart contract, which helps in maintaining blood …

Analysis of Discrete Wavelet Transform for Denoising of Breast CT Image
Abstract: During acquisition of medical images noise gets induced in the digital image by various effects. The state of art devices used for capturing the images introduces complex type of addition noise in the images. No medical imaging devices are noise free. The most commonly used medical images are acquired from MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography) and X-ray equipment’s. Additive noise into medical image decreases the visual quality that …

Prevalence and Antibiogram Profile of Uropathogens Isolated from Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Female Patients with Urinary Tract Infections and its Associated Risk Factors: Focus on Cephalosporin
Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among women. Here, the present study probes the prevalence of urinary tract infection (UTI), assess the adequacy of empirical therapy, susceptibility of antibiotics and resistance pattern of bacteria responsible for UTI and its associated risk factors. A total of 1309 urine samples were collected from UTI suspected female patients of tertiary care hospitals between the ages of 18-49. Moreover, a total of 207 urine …

When the Science Bridges the Efficacy and Safety: A Story of Psoronorm Cell Repair Oil
Abstract: Special cosmetic formulations are meant for certain unique benefits that are linked closely with therapeutic effect and hence such formulations require high level of safety considerations. The cosmetic formulations meant for Psoriasis type conditions need to be very safe as the skin of psoriatic patients is very sensitive. More over the Psoriasis is an auto immune disease and the products for these should not have the potential for irritancy. The …

Feature Extraction to Detect Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma in Fundus Image
Abstract: Visual impairment due to various eye-related diseases can be largely prevented through regular fundus colour image screening. Large scale screening of the retinal image in the early stages is crucial to disease diagnosis. It is reported that the number of ophthalmologist ratios is very low. Hence, the computer-aided screening is required where the diagnosis of disease from an image is done from the main features of the fundus image. In …
