This time, artificial intelligence will detect autism in children

The Dhaka Times Desk Autism is a developmental brain disorder. This problem also manifests itself as children grow older. Therefore, if not detected at the beginning, the level of autism can be severe.

Many parents are not able to recognize the early symptoms of autism and it is not possible to bring the children back to normal. AI technology will solve this problem.

A new study shows that this artificial intelligence technology has been able to detect autism with almost 100% accuracy by scanning images of children's eyes.

The AI tool capable of detecting autism was developed by a group of researchers at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea. The AI tool uses algorithms capable of reviewing retinal images of children's eyes. A study was conducted on 958 children, half of whom had autism, to test the effectiveness of the tool. Research shows that AI tools can accurately identify children with autism.

The results of the study were recently published in the medical journal JAMA Network. However, experts say, now is not the time to rely 100% on the results obtained from this tool. The AI tool can also be considered as a potential screening method for autism detection rather than a diagnostic tool.

It should be noted that many children are deprived of early treatment due to autism not being detected on time. The new AI tool is expected to help detect autism in children at an early stage, helping millions of children receive timely treatment every year.

How to prevent dengue

Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).

Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.

1. Common dengue fever

2. Dengue fever with bleeding.

In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-

1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.

2. Severe headache.

3. Pain behind the eyes.

4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.

5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.

6. Nausea or vomiting.

7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.

In case of dengue fever with bleeding:

1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.

2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.

If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.

On the other hand

Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.

Things to do to prevent Dengue:

1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.

2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.

3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.

4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.

5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.

6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.

7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.

8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
