Effect of adding clotrimazole lozenges in reducing the severity of radiation/chemo- irradiation induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck malignancies

This paper aims to determine the effect of clotrimazole lozenges in addition to soda bicarbonate mouthwash and compare it with soda bicarbonate mouthwash only, in reducing radiotherapy/chemoirradiation induced oral mucositis in patients with Head and Neck Malignancies. A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Arm A - Radiotherapy/Chemoirradiation who were randomized to receive clotrimazole lozenges and soda bicarbonate mouth wash. Arm B- Radiotherapy/Chemoirradiation who were randomized to receive soda bicarbonate mouthwash only. Fifty-six patients were accrued in the trial, 28 in control arm and 28 in study arm. Fifty-two patients completed the treatment protocol. 4 patients in control arm defaulted due to various reasons. A number of patients in the control Vs study arm of Chemoirradiation group were 16 Vs 16 and in Radiotherapy group 12 Vs 12 patients. The occurrence of Grade 3 mucositis was more in the control arm 30% vs. 40% and the onset was later among patients in the study arm (week 3). In the Chemoirradiation group requirement for analgesic (92.8% vs. 53.8%), topical anaesthetic (35.7% vs. 7.6% - significant), occurrence of mouth pain(28.5% vs. 15.3%) and Ryles tube feeding (28.5% vs. 15.3%) were less in the study arm and also tolerated more number of cycles of concurrent chemotherapy (76% vs. 14% p= 0.036). A number of patients having a break in treatment (0% vs. 42.8% -significant) and occurrence of oral thrush (32% vs. 9%) were less in study arm of chemoirradiation and Radiotherapy. Nausea and vomiting were the predominant complaints in study arm probably induced by the chemotherapy. The occurrence of dryness of oral mucosa and throat was more in study arm of chemoirradiation group but less in radiotherapy only group.Overall the addition of clotrimazole lozenges to soda bicarbonate mouthwash along with oral care protocol during treatment showed significant benefit in decreasing the incidence of oral thrush.

Forensic analysis on Android wear

With smartphones floating everywhere in the market, it will not be wrong to say that we are living in a smart era. Nowadays along with Smartphones, the use of wearable devices is also on rising, in which smartwatches are topping the charts. Even though small, these devices contain a lot of useful information which can be used as potential evidence in case of cyber crimes. This paper defines the concept of Android wear along with outlining the basic architecture. It also covers the procedure of data extraction from these smart devices and collection of artifacts even in the absence of mobile phone. The paper explores smartwatches as a potential source of evidence along with the crucial information it stores which can be used to solve cybercrimes.

Configuration of anti-collision system for stacker and reclaimer

This Paper deals with the solution for collision detection in the area of industrial machines. Now a day’s, the world is focusing to improve the industries with automation. In order for the automation, the requirement of workers will decrease and time-consuming to do the job is also decrease but protecting the device from collision becomes difficult because sometimes we require more than one system to complete the work in small areas. In these situations, there will be a collision between those machines. Due to this collision, devices can cause damage to the equipment’s as well as the workers in that field. Thus collision detection and collision avoidance are very important so that we provide the anti-collision solution. In this paper, we describe the theoretical introduction, practical solution and also real application

Child tracking system

There are many cases of missing children. This project proposed a technique to track their child location. The child has no need to carry the mobile phone. This system makes the use of android mobile and a GPS device. The parent can track their child location with the help of GPS and GSM. The location is sent to the parent mobile with the help of google map. We have to define the area of the child’s school and whenever the child is out of the defined location then alert message will be sent to the parent’s mobile phone. There is one more concept in which a child can press the help button when he will be in trouble and the alert message will be sent to all the contacts added in the emergency help.

Food calorie estimation using machine learning and image processing

In today’s world a healthy lifestyle is a must for every individual and what they consume is of utmost importance in order to achieve the same. Our paper focuses on creating software which gives the calorie of the food which the user is going to consume. In order to achieve this, the software will take two images as input from the user, the top view and the side view. The image will have a probe object as well which is a coin whose volume will be known. The food item in the image will be detected with the help of Faster R-CNN algorithm. We are using Faster R-CNN algorithm since it is the fastest among all the object detection algorithms. In Faster R-CNN we don’t use selective search algorithm on the feature map to identify the region proposals, we use a separate network is used to predict the region proposals. This makes it the fastest algorithm and therefore it can be used for real-time object detection. In the next step, we will segment the image using grabcut algorithm. It is needed for foreground extraction with minimal user interaction. After segmentation of images, the volume of the food item is calculated using the known volume of the probe object. After the calculation of volume, the mass of the food item is calculated with the help of formulas and then the calories of the food item will be calculated using the relation between mass and calories.

Parallel image filtering for faster image communication and comparative analysis

We all know that image processing is the field of massive calculations. So, in the major requirements list have parallel processing on the top. In this paper, we have demonstrated the parallel execution of image denoising. Also, the comparative analysis is there, to ensure that the algorithm takes sufficient time and show proficient results when parallel computing is done. Also, instead of taking a single image and applying all filters to it, we used multiple image array and loop through all the filters and followed by PSNR comparison of the same. We used parallel MATLAB for the parallel programming and then listed out all the parameters and their execution cost to be specifically determined.
