Integrating Deep Learning and Computer Vision for Recognizing American Sign Language
Abstract: The only way the hearing-impaired community can exchange ideas is by utilizing non-verbal communication. The main challenge, however, is that the non-impaired community, which may not comprehend non-verbal communication, would struggle to communicate effectively with this group, and vice versa. The project is purposely devised to admit unwilling and dumb societies to transport ideas and connect with the organization. It aims to bridge the gap between the hearing- and speech-impaired …

Hearing, Speech, and Language Characteristics in a Case with Hemoglobinopathy Secondary to Beta Thalassemia Intermedia
Abstract: Background: Thalassemia is an inherited disorder characterized by a reduced amount or absence of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside the red blood cell. Thalassemia has its types called alpha and beta-thalassemia. Beta thalassemia is a condition in which there is a reduction or deficit in the synthesis of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin molecules caused by a mutation in chromosome eleven. Beta thalassemia can be broadly categorized into three main …

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 …

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease: Expanding Therapeutic Horizons beyond Glycemic Control
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are closely related clinical diseases that significantly increase morbidity and death worldwide. The co-occurrence of both conditions is frequently referred to as the "cardio-renal syndrome," in which the failure of one organ hastens the decline of the other. The original purpose of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors was to treat type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) by reducing blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, new data …
