Harmonic-to-noise ratio as speech biomarker for fatigue: K-nearest neighbour machine learning algorithm.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Vital information about a person's physical and emotional health can be perceived in their voice. After sleep loss, altered voice quality is noticed. The circadian rhythm controls the sleep cycle, and when it is askew, it results in fatig...

Development of a Machine learning image segmentation-based algorithm for the determination of the adequacy of Gram-stained sputum smear images.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) prepares and trains a model through supervised or unsupervised learning methods. Sputum, a respiratory tract secretion, is a common laboratory specimen that aids in diagnosing respiratory diseases, including pulmonar...

Risk factors of osteoporosis in soldiers of the Armed Forces: A cross-sectional study from Western India.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis may result from risk factors such as smoking, alcohol, low body mass index, less physical exercise, and dietary calcium deficiency. The risk of osteoporosis fractures can be reduced with lifestyle changes, which include diet,...

Peritoneal dialysis: An effective therapeutic modality in acute kidney injury.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in acute kidney injury (AKI), continues to be underused. We present our experience with PD in patients with AKI.

Performance characteristics of an artificial intelligence based on convolutional neural network for screening conventional Papanicolaou-stained cervical smears.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: The conventional Papanicolaou-stained cervical smear is the most common screening test for cervical cancer. The sensitivity of the test in detecting abnormal cells is 67-75% in various studies. Owing to the volume of smears at cancer scre...

A fluoroscopic assessment of brachial plexus block by the supraclavicular approach: Have we been overmedicating?

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography-guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block has demonstrated safety as compared with landmark or nerve stimulation techniques. However, the minimum effective analgesic volume (MEAV) necessary for adequate blockade has not...

Dosimetric and isocentric variations due to patient setup errors in CT-based treatment planning for breast cancer by electronic portal imaging.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Inaccuracies in treatment setup during radiation therapy for breast cancers may increase risks to surrounding normal tissue toxicities, i.e. organs at risks (OARs), and compromise disease control. This study was planned to evaluate the do...

Analysis of platelet-activating factors in severe sepsis by flow cytometry and its correlation with clinical sepsis scoring system: A pilot study.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a major global healthcare concern. Platelets and leucocytes play a key role in sepsis. Whole blood flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful new technique for the assessment of leucocyte and platelet parameters and their functional sta...

Endothelial markers in high altitude induced systemic hypertension (HASH) at moderate high altitude.

Medical journal, Armed Forces India
BACKGROUND: Chronic intermittent hypoxia is known to induce systemic arterial hypertension whereas chronic hypoxia causes pulmonary arterial hypertension. High altitude (HA) induced systemic hypertension (HASH) in previously normotensive lowlanders f...
