Statistical Analysis Of Early Detection Of Liver Cirrhosis

There are many places that can be used as a resource to get further information and become aware about cirrhosis. There are foundations and organization that have websites with information such as the American Liver Foundation, National Institute of Health, Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There are also medical websites that have lots of information and resources about the disease a few examples are WebMD and Mayo Clinic. Additional resources promoting awareness are social media sites like Facebook. There are also many videos that can be found on YouTube. Another way to show awareness is to wear a Yellow ribbon which represents Liver diseases.

In accession to the binary images, the proposed method may be tested on discrete color images also. These type of

We have used support vector machine (SVM) for classification task. We have used RBF kernel for training the classifier. 10 fold cross-validation is used for determining cost parameter C and best kernel width for RBF kernel function. If we perform classification without any feature selection or feature extraction then the accuracy is 48.99% and 65.82% for AVIRIS and HYDICE image respectively which is very poor and it highly motivates us to apply feature reduction technique. In table II we have shown the classification accuracy for each of the pair of class for PCA, MI and PCA-QMI.

4. Is it possible to know the percentage of liver cirrhosis? In other words is the organ completely affected and it's not functioning?

In the presented case scenario, we have Mr. Gil Martin who is a 55-year-old Hispanic male. He comes in to the clinic today with complaints of weakness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. A student nurse will be precepting your assessment of Mr. Martin and when collecting subjective and objective data it is important to pay close detail to all findings. Ultimately this patient was diagnosis with cirrhosis, which is an abnormal liver condition that leads to irreversible scarring of the liver (National Institute of Health [NIH], 2017), so during assessment we should pay attention to details leading to this diagnosis.

Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of normal, healthy liver tissue by fibrotic scar tissue, blocking the flow of blood through the organ and preventing it from working as it should, as well as regenerative nodules leading to progressive loss of liver function. The liver, the largest organ in the body, is vital in keeping the body functioning properly. It removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood, produces immune agents to control infection, and removes germs and bacteria from the blood. It

There are up to more than a billion diseases in the world, and we still have plenty more to discover, and one disease that can be deadly is Chronic Liver Disease. Chronic Liver Disease is a disease that destroys liver cells, and replaces them with “Scare Tissue”, which is a tissue that connects to the organ and creates a scar. In addition, Chronic Liver Disease has multiple stages, the final stage of Chronic Liver Disease is “Cirrhosis” moreover, cirrhosis damages and destroys

Cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. Cirrhosis affects one of the largest organs in the body, the liver. It is a condition that slowly worsens the liver and is unable to function normally due to chronic injury. Cirrhosis consists of four stages with the fourth stage being the most advanced stage of cirrhosis. When healthy liver cells are damaged and replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis) it’s known as a degenerative disease called cirrhosis. Chronic alcoholism is the leading cause of cirrhosis due to excessive drinking of alcohol, which causes the liver to swell. In sequence with alcoholism and hepatitis C, or alone obesity can be a risk factor in developing cirrhosis. Cirrhosis of the liver is a disease that can affect many individuals if the condition is not caught in early stages it can become deadly.

• Laparoscopy. This is when your health care provider uses a small, lighted camera (laparoscope) to look at your liver and other organs.

The liver is the largest gland and second largest organ in the human body. It is also the only internal organ capable of regeneration following injury. Located in the abdominal cavity, this reddish brown organ is divided into lobes of different size and shape. The liver plays a critical role in metabolism, digestion, elimination, and detoxification, among other processes. This organ performs a surprisingly large number of functions that influence virtually all other body systems. This is why diseases of the liver can be so devastating. One class of chronic diseases affecting the liver is cirrhosis. (Kasper, 2008)

Risk factors of cirrhosis are chronic alcohol abuse, (medical conditions) chronic infections with hepatitis B, C or D. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which is a disorder of fat cells building up in the liver leading to scarring, Inherited disorders also one that interfere with the way the liver produces, processes, store enzymes, proteins, metals, and other substances necessary for proper functioning of the body. Hepatic congestion a condition such as heart failure or constrictive pericarditis can cause congestion within the liver. secondary biliary cirrhosis is blockage of the bile ducts causing bile to back up and start damaging liver tissue. Age is another factor because a person is more likely to developed cirrhosis as they get older, the reason why is had more years to expose your liver to viruses, toxins, and medical conditions. Autoimmune hepatitis is immune cells are mistaken for normal liver cells invading cells and attacking

Liver cancer are cancers that start in the liver and they are called primary liver cancer. There is more than one kind of primary liver cancer.The liver is the largest internal organ and it has important functions. Blood tests may reveal liver function abnormalities. Imaging tests, lab tests, and other procedures suggest you might have liver cancer. This type of cancer is hard to find because signs and symptoms often do not appear until it is in its later stages, but the symptoms are weight loss (without trying), loss of appetite feeling very full after a small meal, nausea or vomiting, an enlarged liver (felt as a mass under the ribs on the right side), an enlarged spleen, pain in the abdomen or near the right shoulder blade, swelling or fluid build-up in the abdomen, itching and yellowing of the skin and eyes. 39,230 people are diagnosed with liver cancer each year, and 27,170 people die of this type of cancer. Men are more likely to have liver cancer. Also, 83% of liver cancer cases occurred in less developed countries. The highest incidence of liver cancer was in Asia and Africa; and the lowest incidence in Europe and, Latin America and Caribbean. The average age for this type of cancer is 63 years

The use of liver location estimation based on lung location effectively removes the need of any models to estimate the location of liver, enabling the random walker segmentation to segment the liver more accurately, in case any lesions are present inside the liver envelope, these lesions are also seeded and the ability of multi- region segmentation of the random walker means that these lesions will be also segmented with no regards to their location inside the liver, as segmenting the pathological livers in contrast-enhanced CT imaging are the main reason for taking the challenge of liver segmentation. Examples of challenging pathological livers segmented can be seen in Figs 9-11. These examples represent severe pathological disorders on livers

The serum markers (platelet count, APRI score, Forn’s score, Lok score, FIB-4, Transient Elastography [TE]) were compared with percutaneous liver biopsy (LB) to predict the extent of disease. All the evaluated tests had outstanding predictive value (AUROCs 0.839-0.979). 124[29]

First select the image from data set. The data set is the combination of the three types of images. Three type of
