Refining Retinal Layer Segmentation in OCT Imaging with Advanced Techniques and Clinical Applications
Abstract: Segmenting retinal layers from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) pictures entails locating and separating different retinal layers to offer comprehensive anatomical and pathological information. Age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are among the retinal illnesses for which this procedure is crucial for diagnosis and follow-up. By utilizing preprocessing techniques to improve image quality and applying advanced algorithms—such as intensity-based, gradient-based, and texture-based methods—alongside deep learning approaches, clinicians can accurately measure …

Survey on Retinal OCT Image Preprocessing, Segmentation, and Deep Learning Based Classification
Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique that generates high-resolution, detailed cross-sectional images of biological tissues. By utilizing low-coherence interferometry, OCT enables visualization of tissue microstructure with micron-scale resolution, making it useful in various medical fields such as ophthalmology, cardiology, and dermatology. In ophthalmology, OCT is extensively used for diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, allowing doctors to assess changes in tissue morphology over …

A Case Report on Alport Syndrome which ends up with Allograft Rejection due to Anti-GBM Disease
Abstract: Alport syndrome (AS) is a condition which is genetically inherited and is characterized by abnormalities in the basement membrane of the kidney, ear and eye as well. It is one of the spectra of diseases representing hereditary nephritis, which inevitably leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is also a characteristic feature in AS. The hearing abnormality begins during late childhood or early adolescence and 90% of …

An Evaluation of Photodynamic Therapy in Dentistry with a Focus on Surgical Applications
Abstract: Throughout the centuries, various forms of light therapy have found applications in medical settings. These include phototherapy for neonatal jaundice, psoralen molecules combined with ultraviolet A light (PUVA) in dermatology, and techniques like photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodetection. In recent years, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, has necessitated the exploration of alternative treatment options. Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) has arisen as …
