    Abstract Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is a transfer learning technique utilized in deep learning. UDA aims to reduce the distribution gap between labeled source and unlabeled target domains by adapting a model through fine-tuning. Typically, UDA approaches assume the same categories in both domains. The effectiveness of transfer learning depends on the degree of similarity between the domains, which determines an efficient fine-tuning strategy. Furthermore, domain-specific tasks generally perform well when the feature distributions of the domains are similar. However, utilizing a trained source model directly in the target domain may not generalize effectively due to domain shift. Domain shift can be caused by intra-class variations, camera sensor variations, background variations, and geographical changes. To address these issues, we design an efficient unsupervised domain adaptation network for image classification and object detection that can learn transferable feature representations and reduce the domain shift problem in a unified network. We propose the guided transfer learning approach to select the layers for fine-tuning the model, which enhances feature transferability and utilizes the JS-Divergence to minimize the domain discrepancy between the domains. We evaluate our proposed approaches using multiple benchmark datasets. Our domain adaptive image classification approach achieves 93.2% accuracy on the Office-31 dataset and 75.3% accuracy on the Office-Home dataset. In addition, our domain adaptive object detection approach achieves 51.1% mAP on the Foggy Cityscapes dataset and 72.7% mAP on the Indian Vehicle dataset. We conduct extensive experiments and ablation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our work. Experimental results also show that our work significantly outperforms the existing methods.

    Abstract Background: In the present study, we compared Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) and White Light Cystoscopy (WLC) in Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) for detection and its impact on recurrence.
    Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of Urology at a tertiary institution from August 2021 to April 2023. The main aim was to determine the benefit of addition of NBI during TURBT in NMIBC. All patients with Urinary Bladder Mass (size less than 5 cm on USG/CT) aged >18 years of age planned for TURBT were included.
    Results: Amongst 63 patients, the mean age was 59.84 ± 11.3 years; 80% were males. Sixty percent of patients had history of Tobacco consumption and Type II DM was the most common comorbidity (59%). Commonest symptom was gross haematuria. Posterior wall was most commonly involved and papillary lesions were commonest. A total of 125 lesions were identified on WLI, with mean 1.98 ± 1.75 and 78 additional lesions were identified only on NBI with mean 1.24 ± 1.63 lesions. Four patients had intra-operative complications. Five patients had recurrence at 6 weeks and eight patients had recurrence at 3 months. NBI had detected more lesions in patients who developed recurrence at 6 weeks and 3 months (mean: 1.41 and 1.43).
    Conclusion: NBI has additive role in detecting NMIBC lesions missed on WLI. NBI has significant role in preventing recurrence at 3 months and more so by detecting high grade tumours.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Filariasis, predominantly caused by the parasite Wuchereria Bancrofti, is a key etiological factor in lymphedema development. Lymphedema, characterized by persistent lymphatic obstruction, leads to significant changes in immunological factors and protein composition. These alterations play a crucial role in the delayed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma within chronic lymphedema contexts. Notably, chronic lymphedema is an infrequent but significant precursor to squamous cell carcinoma, with fewer than 20 cases reported in medical literature, including only 11 cases affecting the lower limbs. The management of squamous cell carcinoma in lymphedema is challenging due to the rarity of cases and the resulting lack of experience among clinicians.
    Case presentation: The report focuses on a 69-year-old woman with long-standing right lower limb lymphedema following filariasis. She underwent treatment for a non-healing ulcer in the right gluteal region, diagnosed as moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Following a wide local excision with primary closure, her lower limb swelling persisted, and subsequent diagnosis confirmed regional lymph node metastasis. The patient was then considered for immunotherapy.
    Clinical discussion: This case emphasizes the link between chronic lymphedema and squamous cell carcinoma. It highlights the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach for timely and effective treatment, addressing the rarity and complexity of such cases.
    Conclusion: The successful application of immunotherapy in this case illustrates a favorable clinical outcome, marking a significant advancement in treating similar conditions. This finding contributes to the evolving knowledge in this medical field, suggesting immunotherapy as a promising treatment option.
    Methods: This case report meticulously follows the SCARE 2023 guidelines: updating consensus Surgical Case Report guidelines (Sohrabi et al., 2023) [1]. These guidelines ensure high-quality reporting in surgical case reports. The report details the evaluation, diagnosis, and a comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and regional nodal metastasis, which developed in the context of post-filariasis chronic lower limb lymphedema. By employing a multidisciplinary approach, this report achieves a thorough and standardized presentation of the case, serving as a benchmark and an additional tool for raising awareness about such rare medical conditions.

    Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational system that is designed to replicate and process the behavior of the human brain using neuron nodes. ANNs are made up of thousands of processing neurons with input and output modules that self-learn and compute data to offer the best results. The hardware realization of the massive neuron system is a difficult task. The research article emphasizes the design and realization of multiple input perceptron chips in Xilinx integrated system environment (ISE) 14.7 software. The proposed single-layer ANN architecture is scalable and accepts variable 64 inputs. The design is distributed in eight parallel blocks of ANN in which one block consists of eight neurons. The performance of the chip is analyzed based on the hardware utilization, memory, combinational delay, and different processing elements with targeted hardware Virtex-5 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The chip simulation is performed in Modelsim 10.0 software. Artificial intelligence has a wide range of applications, and cutting-edge computing technology has a vast market. Hardware processors that are fast, affordable, and suited for ANN applications and accelerators are being developed by the industries. The novelty of the work is that it provides a parallel and scalable design platform on FPGA for fast switching, which is the current need in the forthcoming neuromorphic hardware.

    Abstract This case report details the clinical evaluation, imaging findings, and surgical management of a 17-year-old female with a two-year history of persistent knee pain and recurrent patellar dislocations. Despite the absence of traumatic injury, the patient exhibited significant anatomical abnormalities, including a laterally dislocated patella, shallow trochlear groove, increased tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and patella alta by calculating Insall-Salvati ratio. The Insall-Salvati ratio is a radiographic measurement used to assess the position of the patella within the knee joint. It is calculated by dividing the length of the patellar tendon (from the lower pole of the patella to its insertion on the tibial tubercle) by the length of the patella itself (from its superior to inferior pole). This ratio is commonly used in the evaluation of patellar tracking disorders and patellar instability. Typically, a ratio greater than 1.2 is considered indicative of patella alta (high-riding patella), while a ratio less than 0.8 suggests patella baja (low-riding patella). The surgical intervention involved a tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TTO), distalization, and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using the gracilis tendon, resulting in successful realignment as confirmed by postoperative imaging. A postoperative rehabilitation program, including physical therapy and pain management, was initiated to optimize recovery and enhance quadriceps strength and proprioception. This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive surgical approach in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation associated with complex anatomical variations, providing insights into effective management strategies for similar cases.

    Abstract Background: Delay in treatment of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) leads to poor clinical outcomes. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasonography (US-ONSD) has shown good accuracy in traumatic brain injury and neurosurgical patients to diagnose raised ICP. However, there is a dearth of data in neuro-medical intensive care unit (ICU) where the spectrum of disease is different.
    Aim: To validate the diagnostic accuracy of ONSD in non-traumatic neuro-critically ill patients.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled 114 patients who had clinically suspected raised ICP due to non-traumatic causes admitted in neuro-medical ICU. US-ONSD was performed according to ALARA principles. A cut-off more than 5.7 mm was taken as significantly raised. Raised ONSD was corelated with raised ICP on radiological imaging. Clinical history, general and systemic examination findings, SOFA and APACHE 2 score and patient outcomes were recorded.
    Results: There was significant association between raised ONSD and raised ICP on imaging (
    Conclusion: ONSD can be used as a screening a test to detect raised ICP in a medical ICU and as a trigger to initiate further management of raised ICP. ONSD can be beneficial in ruling out a diagnosis in a low-prevalence population and rule in a diagnosis in a high-prevalence population.
