EMOTION RECOGNITION FROM ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM SIGNAL AND EYE MOVEMENT BASED ON DEEP LEARNING
Abstract: Emotion recognition from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals has gained significant attention due to its potential in human- computer interaction (HCI), mental health monitoring, and personalized content delivery. This paper presents the use of Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, neutral, and disgust by leveraging a fusion of EEG signals and eye movements data. Compared to conventional methods of emotion detection, such as those that rely …

Effects of Hydrotherapy Programmes on Knee Osteoarthritis
Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a progressive degenerative disorder characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage, joint margins, and surrounding structures. It is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting weight-bearing joints, leading to functional limitation, pain, stiffness, and reduced quality of life. Although OA is irreversible, early intervention and appropriate therapeutic strategies can slow its progression and help delay invasive procedures such as total joint replacement. Hydrotherapy …

Significance of Physical Activities for Mental and Physical Health
Abstract: Physical activity is essential for maintaining both mental and physical health, providing wide-ranging benefits that enhance quality of life at all ages. Regular exercise, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga, strengthens the cardiovascular system, boosts muscle and bone health, and improves metabolic function, which in turn reduces the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Beyond these visible benefits, consistent physical activity enhances flexibility, balance, and endurance, …

An Improved Power Line Interference Reduction Approach Based on Combination of Mirror Extension and IIR filtering Through a Data Driven Mechanism
Abstract: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a clinical sign monitoring measurement of the cardiac abnormalities. Like other biomedical signals, the ECG signal is also contaminated by various kinds of noise and artifacts such as power line interference, base line wandering, muscle artifacts and electrode artifacts. The present paper proposes a scheme for power line interference (PLI) reduction from ECG signal. It makes use of the concept of mirror method, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) …

Study of ECG Signal Features Extraction using Wavelet Transform: A Review
Abstract: QRS-complex detection is used for analysis of ECG signal. ECG gives the information about electrical activity of the heart Since an ECG is a non-stationary signal and consists of various types of noise such as baseline wander, power line interference and muscle noise. To eliminate such types of noise wavelet transform is used. Mother wavelet is widely used to extract information from these types of signal by denoising. This paper …

Radiation is used in nuclear medicine for damaged tissues or organs treatment by X -Rays
Abstract: Utilizing radioactive particles inside the body, nuclear medicine can diagnose an illness by observing how an organ or tissue is working or by destroying unhealthy or damaged tissue after analysis. The natural environment exposes us to ionizing radiation every day, but additional treatments, such as those resulting from nuclear medicine treatments, may slightly raise the chance of acquiring cancers during later life.To determine the best course of action for your …

Structure based pharmacophore Modelling of compounds against Neurodegenerative disorder – Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle dysfunction, paralysis, and eventually death. These diseases are classified as ALS variations because autopsies reveal abnormalities in both upper and lower motor neurons. These disorders account for only 10% of all adult-onset motor neuron disease cases. Despite extensive research efforts, effective therapeutic interventions for ALS remain limited. Structure-based pharmacophore modeling …
