Strabismus is one of the most common eye disorders caused by a problem with the eye muscles. It is difficult to determine the degree of Strabismus in the two eyes. Reduced vision and a failure of the eyes to function together correctly, especially for 3D vision, are symptoms of this eye illness. This project aims to develop a system able to help the ophthalmologists to detect, diagnose and treat eye Strabismus and eliminate the use of glasses and some laser sessions and medicaments, which very expensive and causes pain to the patient. In the first step, signals acquired from the eyes via electrodes, were fixed on the patient's face and processed to extract specific information, whereas the gravity center (GC) of the eye movements represents the most important feature in this step. Then we use the calculated Gravity center to determine the level of vision deviation that is directly related to a problem in the eye muscles. At the next step, the ophthalmologists treat the patient using the same device through several physical exercises like games performed by the patient on the device. The obtained results demonstrate the ability of our system to classify between the normal and abnormal patient, to determine the level of abnormality or the deviation percentage, to determine the level of eye vibration and to treat many that eye disease.

In this paper, we propose a smart home system for disabled people that recognizes their health status and diagnostic values of some symptoms and then predict if there is an upcoming disease. To build this proposed system, different sensors with raspberry pi are used to collect the symptoms diagnostic values and predict if there is an upcoming disease by implementing a neural network. Two neural network methods are utilized and compared, radial basis function (RBF) neural network and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network. Simulation results show that MLP network is more accurate and efficient for our application.

Raman spectral imaging is applied to human skin tissue fixed with formalin and embedded in paraffin. However, some restrictions may appear due to the high intensity of the paraffin signal. Extended Multiplicative Signal Correction (EMSC) is applied to correct the paraffin contribution of the Raman spectral image. For this purpose, the paraffin signal must be modeled as precisely as possible. In this paper, we propose to apply the matrix decomposition method such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to model the components of pure paraffin in the digital dewaxing technique. Then, the corrected spectra obtained using EMSC and PCA are classified using K-means, and compared with spectra obtained using classical EMSC result.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, where tremors are the most common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement. Parkinson’s disease signs and symptoms can be different for everyone. Early signs may be mild and go unnoticed. Many of the symptoms are due to loss of neurons that produce a chemical messenger in the brain called dopamine. Early detection of the disease allows rapid intervention, which is important because in most cases it is not possible to recover from. It is only possible to slow down or better, to stop progression but not to reverse damage that has already incurred. Eye tremors are prevalent in PD illness and could be an initial warning for the neurodegenerative disorder. In the very early stages of the disease, these eye tremors are very small that make it impossible to be detected by naked eyes. We are proposing to use a new technology developed by MIT to generate motion magnification from recorded videos. The technology, called phase based video magnification, can be used for providing a convenient solution to detect ocular tremor. By capturing then analyzing and interpreting the results of recorded videos using smartphone’s camera, we can obtain a low-cost and widely available early diagnostic system. A prototype was developed and tested on healthy and diseased subjects with encouraging results.

In recent years, medical imaging has made a huge progress in urology. Several diagnostic hypotheses are proposed after a clinical examination, and to select the right diagnosis, one calls upon the complementary examinations, and the imaging comes at first hand, playing a distinguished role. There are different imaging techniques that aid in the exploration of the urinary tract: KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) radiograph, ultrasound, IVU (IntraVenous Urography), Computed Tomography Urography (Uro-Scan) and Magnetic Resonance Urography (Uro-MRI). Due to the diversity of examinations that allow the diagnosis of different urinary pathologies, there is an importance and a responsibility to choose the most optimal radiological examination for diagnosis of the disease while ensuring the protection and the comfort of the patient during the examination. Thus, the aim of this work is to enquire about the technique used to detect the urological pathologies and to show the most adequate technique for each pathology. For that, a survey was conducted over radiologists, urologists as well as emergency physicians, in hospitals and medical centers, throughout the Lebanese territories. The results found can be summarized by the following points: (1) Uro-Scan is the technique that replaced the IVU, (2) there is a lack of knowledge, use and training on the Uro-MRI technique and (3) the optimal examination technique for almost all urological pathologies is the Uro-Scan.

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides detailed anatomical information critical for clinical application diagnosis. However, current MRIs are acquired at clinical resolutions due to the limit of physical, technological, and economic considerations. On the other hand, existing approaches require paired MRI images as training data, which are difficult to obtain on existing datasets when the alignment between high and low-resolution images has to be implemented manually.Within the scope of project, we aim to provide an end-to-end system to solve the super-resolution method on 3D MRI. Our proposed method derives from recent neural network developments and does not require paired data for efficient training. By integrating different models with separated functions, our 3D super-resolution CycleGAN (SRCycleGAN) achieved compelling results on MRI volumes. The output is close with ground-truth, showing a low distortion on different scaling factors. Besides, we also compare our method against different GAN-based methods in this field to highlight the performance.

This paper presents a new approach for topological classification and cleaning of 3D model in medical images that respects a desired topology. First a Marching Cubes-based method is applied on segmented MR Images providing thus a closed surface mesh. A topological structure (Gmap) allowing to control the topology is then generated. Lastly a classification and correction based on specific characteristics relative to volumes, such as the number of faces or exact volume size is done. This topological structure permits to handle and manage topological, geometrical and medical information inside a healthy brain and even for a brain with a tumor or a lesion.

In this paper, a SIRD model is adapted to study the vaccine’s impact on the spread of coronavirus (COVID19) spread in Lebanon. To describe the epidemic development across the country, a Kalman filter is integrated with the SIRD model in order to estimate the time-varying reproduction number Rt - is the most important indicator that predicts the severity of an epidemic outbreak. Rt denotes the number of healthy persons to whom an infected person can spread the disease. The results show a reduction in the spread of the pandemic after employing the vaccine. All the data and relevant codebase are available at https://www.moph.gov.lb

Social distancing guidelines have been imposed to slow the pandemic of Corona virus disease (COVID-19), relieves pressure on medical system, and prevents deaths. Thus, social distancing between healthcare workers and patients is highly important in order to limit the virus transmission. So, the main aim of this paper is to increase social distancing between healthcare workers and patients by developing an automated over-bed delivery table, able to move in the hospital room between all entities using some wireless communication devices. In addition, the table will be able to sanitize itself before reaching the worker and the patient. This table serves, other than the delivery of food and drinks to the patient, in controlling the medication intake due to an advanced medication box placed on the table where the healthcare provider can put the medication and set the time required to take them. Two compatible remote controls are designed to serve both patients and healthcare provider. The system’s performance was carefully evaluated and successfully tested. The results have shown an accurate tracking for the predefined track, no faulty errors detected, on-time sanitizing and great precision concerning the detection of the medication as well as the required timing.
