Advancing fetal ultrasound diagnostics: Innovative methodologies for improved accuracy in detecting down syndrome.

This research work explores the integration of medical and information technology, particularly focusing on the use of data analytics and deep learning techniques in medical image processing. Specifically, it addresses the diagnosis and prediction of fetal conditions, including Down Syndrome (DS), through the analysis of ultrasound images. Despite existing methods in image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification, there is a pressing need to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Our research delves into a comprehensive literature review and presents advanced methodologies, incorporating sophisticated deep learning architectures and data augmentation techniques to improve fetal diagnosis. Moreover, the study emphasizes the clinical significance of accurate diagnostics, detailing the training and validation process of the AI model, ensuring ethical considerations, and highlighting the potential of the model in real-world clinical settings. By pushing the boundaries of current diagnostic capabilities and emphasizing rigorous clinical validation, this research work aims to contribute significantly to medical imaging and pave the way for more precise and reliable fetal health assessments.

Fog-Based Delay-Sensitive Data Transmission Algorithm for Data Forwarding and Storage in Cloud Environment for Multimedia Applications.

Fog computing is playing a vital role in data transmission to distributed devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) and another network paradigm. The fundamental element of fog computing is an additional layer added between an IoT device/node and a cloud server. These fog nodes are used to speed up time-critical applications. Current research efforts and user trends are pushing for fog computing, and the path is far from being paved. Unless it can reap the benefits of applying software-defined networks and network function virtualization techniques, network monitoring will be an additional burden for fog. However, the seamless integration of these techniques in fog computing is not easy and will be a challenging task. To overcome the issues as already mentioned, the fog-based delay-sensitive data transmission algorithm develops a robust optimal technique to ensure the low and predictable delay in delay-sensitive applications such as traffic monitoring and vehicle tracking applications. The method reduces latency by storing and processing the data close to the source of information with optimal depth in the network. The deployment results show that the proposed algorithm reduces 15.67 ms round trip time and 2 seconds averaged delay on 10 KB, 100 KB, and 1 MB data set India, Singapore, and Japan Amazon Datacenter Regions compared with conventional methodologies.
