Community-based Study, Demographic and Socio-Economic Factors Associated with TB in Rural Jaipur NIMS Hospital
Abstract: This study showed that fewer women sought care in out-patient clinics for respiratory symptoms, fewer submitted sputum for testing, and if tested, fewer were smear-positive. This implies persistent lower representation of females at the different clinical steps for TB management using DOTS at community level. These findings raise grave concerns about the gender sensitive DOTS strategy for TB control. The findings indicate that an epidemiology of TB complicated by gender …

Advancing EEG Technology for Affordable and Effective Epilepsy Detection
Abstract: For a proper diagnosis and prompt treatment, epilepsy, a neurological condition marked by recurring seizures, needs to be continuously monitored. Manual interpretation is frequently used in traditional approaches for identifying epileptic seizures from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which can be laborious and error-prone. In this research, a novel method for automatically detecting epilepsy from EEG data using deep learning algorithms is presented. According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) …
