Glaucoma Detection Using CNN
Abstract: The word “glaucoma” refers to both the progressive loss of retinal cells within optic nerve, and the gradual loss of vision caused by optic neuropathy. A condition that affects eye vision is called glaucoma. This condition is thought to be permanent and causes visual impairment. There are no early warning signs of this glaucoma in them. The effect is so subtle that we could not even observe that your vision …

Pattern of Diabetic Maculopathy in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy
Abstract: Diabetic Retinopathy is a progressive long term complication of Diabetes Mellitus. It is one of the commonest causes of blindness world over. The features of diabetic maculopathy result from the abnormal permeability of the retinal capillaries and subsequent closure of the retinal capillary network. Macular edema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the extracellular space within the retina in the macular area. Diabetic Maculopathy can be various types with …

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 …

Clinicoradiological Evaluation of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Abstract: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension refers to elevated intracranial pressure when there is no detectable space-occupying lesion. Individuals with idiopathic intracranial hypertension commonly exhibit classic indications of increased intracranial pressure, including headaches, nausea, neck discomfort, double vision, temporary visual obscurity, and swelling of the optic nerve head (papilledema). Typical magnetic resonance imaging findings include empty sella, optic nerve tortuousity, globe flattening, and transverse sinus stenosis. All patients from July 2021 to June …

Effects of Exergaming on Repetitive Behaviors and Cognition Impairment of Autistic Children
Abstract: Physical exercise decreases repetitive behaviors in autistic children and improves cognitive function across the lifespan. Exergaming combines physical and mental exercise simultaneously by linking physical activity movements to visual feedback control and yield better compliance with exercise. Fifteen children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) completed on Dance-Dance-Revolution (DDR); fifteen additional youths completed on cyber cycling. Repetitive behaviors and executive functions were measured before and after each activity. Repetitive behaviors significantly …

Relationship between Memory and Modality of Stimulus Presentation
Abstract: Memory is the mental faculty that encodes, stores and retrieves information. Recall is the third stage involved in memory. It is influenced by both internal and external variables including stimulus presentation modality. Researchers in the past have compared recall for words presented across the auditory and visual modality, claiming one to be superior to the other. The present study aimed to compare the recall abilities for visual (pictures) and auditory …

Gesture Identification in Children with Hearing Impairment: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Gestures are used during verbal communication naturally and spontaneously by individuals across age, culture and different background. Gestures and speech have a strong association and they share properties across temporal, structural and meaning aspects. Literature has shown pronounced link between gesture and speech however, there have been convincing and contradictory findings of the potential link of gestures and speech. So, there exists a need to further study gestural ability HI …

In silico analysis of Abrus precatorius L. as a potential agonist of PPARγ : A novel approach to the treatment of diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder that is characterized by a lack of insulin secretion by the pancreas or a defect in insulin action, or both. If diabetes is not controlled, over time it can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves, leading to life-threatening complications such as, kidney damage, heart disease and vision impairment. It can also weaken the immune system, making patients more prone to infection. Although treatments …
