Abstract The advancements in sensing technologies, information processing, and communication schemes have revolutionized the healthcare sector. Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) facilitate the patients, doctors, hospitals, and other stakeholders to maintain valuable data and medical records. The traditional EHRs are based on cloud-based architectures and are susceptible to multiple cyberattacks. A single attempt of a successful Denial of Service (DoS) attack can compromise the complete healthcare system. This article introduces a secure and immutable blockchain-based framework for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to address the stated challenges. The proposed architecture is on the idea of a More >

Abstract In every network, delay and energy are crucial for communication and network life. In wireless sensor networks, many tiny nodes create networks with high energy consumption and compute routes for better communication. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a very complex scenario to compute minimal delay with data aggregation and energy efficiency. In this research, we compute minimal delay and energy efficiency for improving the quality of service of any WSN. The proposed work is based on energy and distance parameters as taken dependent variables with data aggregation. Data aggregation performs on different models, namely Hybrid-Low… More >

Abstract Cloud-based SDN (Software Defined Network) integration offers new kinds of agility, flexibility, automation, and speed in the network. Enterprises and Cloud providers both leverage the benefits as networks can be configured and optimized based on the application requirement. The integration of cloud and SDN paradigms has played an indispensable role in improving ubiquitous health care services. It has improved the real-time monitoring of patients by medical practitioners. Patients’ data get stored at the central server on the cloud from where it is available to medical practitioners in no time. The centralisation of data on the… More >

Abstract Electronic wallet (E-wallet), which combines software, hardware, and human interaction, is a modern platform for electronic payment. Financial services managers can create more effective strategies for advancing existing positions by evaluating the success of e-wallet services. The objective of this research is to create an integrated model for assessing E-wallet services using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) in conjunction with a technique for extent analysis and the ARAS approach (Additive Ratio Assessment). In this study, E-wallet service providers are ranked and evaluated using the ARAS approach and the FAHP priority weights. In addition, a More >

Abstract Cities are facing challenges of high rise in population number and consequently need to be equipped with latest smart services to provide luxuries of life to its residents. Smart integrated solutions are also a need to deal with the social and environmental challenges, caused by increasing urbanization. Currently, the development of smart services’ integrated network, within a city, is facing the barriers including; less efficient collection and sharing of data, along with inadequate collaboration of software and hardware. Aiming to resolve these issues, this paper recommended a solution for a synchronous functionality in the smart… More >

Abstract Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are garnering a lot of attention because of their potential to provide low-cost solutions to real-world communications. MANETs are more vulnerable to security threats. Changes in nodes, bandwidth limits, and centralized control and management are some of the characteristics. IDS (Intrusion Detection System) are the aid for detection, determination, and identification of illegal system activity such as use, copying, modification, and destruction of data. To address the identified issues, academics have begun to concentrate on building IDS-based machine learning algorithms. Deep learning is a type of machine learning that can produce… More >

Abstract Introduction: To compare prostate biopsy (Pbx) characteristics, before and after the 2012 United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) prostate cancer screening guidelines in our practice.
Materials and methods: We completed a retrospective comparative analysis of 1703 sequential patients that had a Pbx in 2010 to 2012 (3 years) with 1006 patients biopsied in 2018, 2019 and 2021 (3 years). Data from a total of 2709 Pbx was collected on patient age, race, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), digital rectal examination (DRE) and Gleason sum score (GSS). The data was analyzed to determine whether the 2012 USPSTF screening recommendations… More >
