Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Healthcare

 

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is globally emerging as a logistic tool in digital technology and depicts its wide range of relevance in preventive medicine and its management. Smart Hospitals or Hospital 4.0 is a basic need for today’s scenario seeking to COVID 19. [1] Coronavirus has become epidemic and claim for imperative medical supplies, medicines along with the synthesis of neutralizing antibodies which can block the virus particles. Industrial Internet of things (IIoT) known as the fourth industrial revolution served to be at rest during COVID-19 crunch. IIoT has assassinated the demands of individualized face conceal, mitten and enabled to conduct all relevant research and assisted to provide the data immediately for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Effective upturn off wearables and sensors (like Apple Watch, MI Band) has escort a new generation of telemedicine, where patients could be cared virtually by hospital staff. The employment of these technologies would help people to get [2] enlighten regarding their wellbeing. These smart manufacturing technologies could provide a lot of resourceful brainstorm band-aid to scuffle geographical and global medical emergencies.
The aim of chapter is to through light on the smart system of Industry 4.0 during this pandemic of COVID 19 by providing better digital techniques without imposing the risks to [3] healthcare. This paper overall deals with how AI and Industry 4.0 co-jointly can change the whole scenario of our medical procedures as well as healthcare systems and in addition to that many technologies which are currently helping in the medical field are also being discussed.

Characterizing Approaches and Research Methods for Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment in Chronic Liver Diseases

 

Introduction

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome (a.k.a., ZHENG or Zheng-Hou), “in essence, is a characteristic profile of all clinical manifestations that can be identified by a TCM practitioner.” TCM syndrome is the differentiation of the symptoms and signs of patients, reflecting the overall pathological state including the etiology, disease location and pathogenesis of a certain stage of the body during the disease process [1]. As TCM syndrome is the external manifestation of the internal changes associated with the disease, it reflects the overall state of the body and has its own integrity, while the external symptoms and signs are constantly changing with the disease’s occurrence and development, reflecting the complex characteristics of uncertainty and human-made factors.
TCM syndrome differentiation is the process of recognizing syndromes, which then guides the practitioner to determine the corresponding treatment method. Considering the limits to the rational understanding and behavior of both doctors and patients, TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment is a complex, dynamic, nonlinear system. This review aims to summarize three primary approaches to TCM syndrome in the chronic liver diseases (CLDs), including research needs in these areas, as follows:

Benefit Of Multimedia Rehabilitation - Academy for The Brain as Intense Brain Stimulation in The Treatment of People with ASD Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a syndrome characterized by problems with socialization, communication, and behavior. This syndrome causes the child to present some specific characteristics most of the time, such as difficulty in communication, speech, difficulty in expressing feelings and ideas, they often feel uncomfortable in the presence of people who do not know them and avoid eye contact, in addition to repetitive patterns and stereotyped movements, such as spending a lot of time rocking your body or an object. However, it is not a rule that everyone has the same repetitive patterns, some children have more than others. We know that our brain can be “reprogrammed” at every moment, creating new synaptic connections and promoting neurogenesis (birth of new neurons, mainly in the hippocampus region). Brain plasticity, or neuroplasticity, is the brain’s ability to recover and restructure. This adaptive capacity of the nervous system allows the brain to recover from disorders or injuries. The Multimedia Rehabilitation technique - Brain Gymnastics - Neurofitness promotes intense brain stimulation, where using the computer it is possible to have all areas of the brain exercised simultaneously. Therefore, this is a technique of great worldwide relevance in the intervention and treatment of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), where it is possible to promote great stimulation in all areas of the cerebral cortex simultaneously, bringing neurological maturity in a global way, favoring the developing all areas that occur deficits and awakening new skills and talents.

Hospice And Palliative Care Services Development in Shanghai

Abstract

Shanghai, a pioneer municipal city in implementing hospice and palliative care (HPC) services in China, has realized its initial goal of universal coverage of either inpatient or home-based HPC services in all community health centers (CHCs) by 2020. However, there are still some bottlenecks during the progress, including low equalization and homogenization of services among different CHCs, and lack of charging items for comprehensive evaluation, alternative therapy, appropriate traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technology and humanistic care which are labor-intensive. There is an urgent need to construct and standardize contents and items of HPC services and introduce payment method by service unit to encourage medical staffs to provide HPC services at all levels of care.

Psori Silk in Mild to Moderate Psoriasis: Randomized Phase I-II Study

 

Abstract

Objectives: To assess efficacy and safety of Psori Silk in mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.

Material and Methods: Randomized double blind Psori Silk versus vehicle, 12 weeks treatment and 4 weeks follow up study. The primary endpoint was Modified PASI 50 at week 12, while the secondary endpoint included life quality assessment by DLQI.

Results: The Psori Silk group consisted of 23 patients with 34 lesions treated versus 22 and 36 in the vehicle group, respectively.

Modified PASI 50 seen in 59% versus 22.7% of patients in the active and the vehicle group, respectively (p< 0.001). Mean 33% DLQI improvement was observed in 65.2 versus 27.2% (p< 0.001) of active medicine and vehicle group patients, respectively. Mild and temporary discomfort at the application site was observed in 39 and 23% of the active medicine and vehicle group patients, respectively.

Conclusions: Psori Silk appear to be effective and safe treatment for mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. Keywords: plaque psoriasis; natural medicine; Psori Silk; Modified PASI 50; DLQI.

Sickle Cell Anemia Versus Sickle Cell Diseases in Adults

 

Abstract

Background: We tried to understand prevalence and clinical severity of sickle cell anemia (SCA) alone or sickle cell diseases (SCD) with associated alpha- or beta-thalassemias in adults.

Methods: All adults with the SCA or SCD were studied.

Results: The study included 441 patients (215 females). The prevalence of SCA was significantly lower than the SCD in adults (29.0% versus 70.9%, p<0.001). The mean age and female ratio were similar in the SCA and SCD groups (31.2 versus 30.5 years and 52.3% versus 47.2%, p>0.05 for both, respectively). The mean body mass index was similar in both groups, too (21.5 versus 21.7 kg/m2, p>0.05, respectively). On the other hand, the total bilirubin value of the plasma was higher in the SCA, significantly (5.7 versus 4.4 mg/dL, p= 0.000). Whereas the total number of transfused units of red blood cells in their lives was similar in the SCA and SCD groups (43.6 versus 37.1 units, p>0.05, respectively).

Conclusion: The SCA alone and SCD are severe inflammatory processes on vascular endothelium particularly at the capillary level and terminate with an accelerated atherosclerosis and end-organ failures in early years of life. The relatively suppressed hemoglobin S synthesis in the SCD secondary to the associated thalassemia’s may decrease sickle cell-induced chronic endothelial damage, inflammation, edema, fibrosis, and end-organ failures. The lower prevalence of the SCA in adults and the higher total bilirubin value of the plasma in them may indicate the relative severity of hemolytic process, vascular endothelial inflammation, and hepatic involvement in the SCA.
