Cloud secured mobile e-learning system solutions using machine learning approach
Get PDFSpecifically designed learning models namely the mobile learning systems are conveniently available at a mobile device. The following are the difficulties that mobile learning systems must overcome: connection speed, processing power, adaptability, and the difficulty of attaining security. In this paper, we design and construct a cloud-based secure mobile e-learning management system (CSMELMS) for educational purposes. The system is made up of three primary modules, which are the client, mobile network, and cloud model. The client model makes the users to access the data via mobile application, which is connected to a mobile network using the client model. The authentication server is responsible for ensuring that each user attempting to access the system is who they claim to be. The CSMELMS system was developed using the Java programming language with the database being provided by MySQL. When the model is tested using a machine learning algorithm, it was found to be effective at enabling it for available to students when and where they need them. The utilisation of machine learning concepts enables better and secured operations for educational purposes. The results of simulation shows that this model is better at providing a better e-learning portal for students and teachers
Brisk walking and lipid profile in obese subjects
Get PDFThe worldwide prevalence of obesity adults has increased dramatically in the past four decades. Obesity is also recognized as a risk factor for many other non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, various types of cancer, gallbladder diseases, respiratory problems and musculoskeletal disorders also induces type 2 diabetes mellitus. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in developed and developing countries. The objectives of the study include a) To estimate the lipid profile in obese subjects, b) To compare lipid profile parameters before and after brisk walking in obese subjects. At baseline, pre-designed questionnaire was used to note down the demographic characteristics age, gender, residential address, telephone number and time spent in physical activity in hours. Anthropometric measurements included body weight, height and BMI is calculated. Fasting blood sample was collected in all the subjects to estimate the levels of Triglycerides and LDL and compared the levels TG and LDL in pre-post intervention in brisk walking group.

In general, senior persons do not differ in terms of constipation length, but the study group does
Liver cirrhosis: The struggling liver
Get PDFLiver cirrhosis is a chronic liver infection. It consist of deterioration of liver cells along with fibrosis and infection generating nodules. Patients with cirrhosis frequently have either global malnutrition or alterations in specific aspects of nutritional status, such as micronutrient deficiencies, due to multiple mechanisms, including poor nutritional intake, poor absorption, and increased losses. In addition, one of the most significant nutritional problems in cirrhotic patients is muscle wasting and sarcopenia. Cirrhosis of the liver is more common than previously thought, affecting more than 633,000 adults yearly, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology. People with cirrhosis had a mortality rate of 26.4 percent during a two-year interval. Most common cause of the liver cirrhosis is alcohol intake (60 to 70 percent), biliary obstruction (5 to 10 percent), biliary atresia/neonatal hepatitis, chronic Hepatitis B or C (10 percent) and hemochromatosis (5 to 10 percent). Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, bleeding or bruising easily, nausea, swelling and confusion. But many patients have no symptoms. Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure and liver cancer. Numerous studies have attempted to develop the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) classification for prognosis of liver cirrhosis. Major complications of cirrhosis are, Ascites, Upper gastrointestinal bleeding
To compare the levels of salivary Interleukin 6 between oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma
Get PDFTo compare the levels of salivary Interleukin 6 between oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma. After ethical clearance and informed consent, the saliva samples were collected from 20 patients of OPMD’S, 20 patients of OSCC and 10 controls. Salivary IL-6 levels were detected by enzyme linked Immunosorbent essay and appropriate statistical analysis was done. Significant differences in IL-6 concentration between OSCC, OPMD’S and controls were noted. Salivary IL-6 levels were higher in OSCC. The results of present study concluded that the level of salivary IL-6 in OSCC is significantly higher than oral potentially malignant disorders like OSMF and oral epithelial dysplasia and controls. This biomarker can be utilized as a major asset for early detection of cancer and can open a new horizon for treatment plans of targeted therapy
A soft tissue analysis for central India population: A cephalometric study
Get PDFBased on surgical-orthodontic treatment planning and prediction system Tony G. McCollum(TOMAC), the present study aims to determine surgical norms for Central India population and to evaluate the variation between Central India males and females. Digital lateral cephalograms of hundred subjects (50 males and 50 females) of 15- 25 years of age were obtained. These radiographs were manually traced by single operator based on the parameterstaken from TOMAC soft tissue analysis. The data obtained was statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and One-sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Statistically significant difference were observed between the Central India population and Caucasian population and also significant sexual dimorphism was noted among the population of Central India. There exist racial diversity between Central India population and the Caucasian population.Therefore, it becomes necessary to have separate norms for different ethnic groups and choose the norms carefully suited to the treatment needs of individual population
Application of soft tissue laser in the management of recurrent apthous stomatitis: A placebo controlled study
Get PDFApthous ulcers are relatively common pathology and are very painful, so in order to facilitate the relief in pain and healing of these ulcers application of LLT has been done in the present study. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Low Level Laser Therapy in the treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcers. 30 patients of both sexes and all age groups with two recurrent aphthous ulcers were included in the study.
