Radioprotective Effects of Amifostine, L-Carnitine and Vitamin E in Preventing Early Salivary Gland Injury due to Radioactive Iodine Treatment.
CONCLUSION: The individual use of AMI, LC and EVIT for radioprotection yield different levels of protection against radioactive iodine treatment injury in SGs; however, none of the agents could provide absolute protection at the doses administered in this experimental model.

Categorization & Recognition of Lung Tumor Using Machine Learning Representations.
CONCLUSION: The proposed method will efficiently identify the position of the tumor in lungs using the probability framework. This will offer a promising outcome for recognition and diagnosis of lung cancer. In this manuscript, GLCM features are used for the prediction of lung tumor and tests are performed for performance analysis in comparison with the histogram and GLCM features, in which GLCM features are accurate in predicting lung tumor even if it takes more time than histogram features. In this manner, early discovery and probability of lung cancer should assume a crucial task in finding a procedure and furthermore, ...

Despeckling of Carotid Artery Ultrasound Images with a Calculus Approach.
CONCLUSION: Experiments conducted on a set of 300 B-mode ultrasound carotid artery images and the simulation results prove that the proposed method of denoising gives enhanced results as compared to the conventional process in terms of the performance evaluation methods like peak signal to noise ratio, mean square error, mean absolute error, root mean square error, structural similarity, quality factor, correlation and image enhancement factor.

Authors: Razmjooy N, Ashourian M, Karimifard M, Estrela VV, Loschi HJ, do Nascimento D, França RP, Vishnevski M
Abstract
Cancer is currently one of the main health issues in the world. Among different varieties of cancers, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world and accounts for 75% of the world's cancer. Indeed, skin cancer involves abnormal changes in the outer layer of the skin. Although most people with skin cancer are healed, it is one of the major concerns of people due to its high prevalence. Most types of skin cancers grow only locally and invade adjacent tissues, but some of them, espe...

Attributes, Performance, and Gaps in Current & Emerging Breast Cancer Screening Technologies.
CONCLUSION: Due to limitations and drawbacks of existing breast cancer screening methods there is a need for better screening methods. Emerging, non-invasive methods offer promise to mitigate the issues particularly around comfort/pain and radiation dose, which would improve compliance and enable all ages to be screened regularly. However, these methods must still undergo significant validation testing to prove they can provide realistic screening alternatives to the current accepted standards.

Alzheimer's Disease Classification Based on Multi-feature Fusion.
CONCLUSION: The results of the third experiment, with MCI against NC, also showed that the multiclass SVM provided highly accurate classification results. These findings suggest that this approach is efficient and may be a promising strategy for obtaining better AD, MCI and NC classification performance.

A Hybrid Approach for Sub-Acute Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation Using Random Decision Forest and Gravitational Search Algorithm.
CONCLUSION: This paper provides a new hybrid GSA-RDF classifier technique to segment the ischemic stroke lesions in MR images. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique has the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Mean Bias Error (MBE) ranges are 16.5485 %, 7.2654 %, and 2.4585 %individually. The proposed RDF-GSA algorithm has better precision and execution when compared with the existing ischemic stroke segmentation method.
