Abstract: This study focuses on automating the diagnosis of glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, through machine learning classifiers (MLCs). Using data from 605 patients in Ghana, the research integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Visual Field Test (VFT) parameters to predict glaucoma status. Ten machine learning algorithms were tested, with Naïve Bayes achieving the highest diagnostic accuracy (AUROC 0.92). The findings suggest that machine learning can significantly improve diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, particularly in resource-constrained settings.…View details

Abstract: This study investigates how different storage temperatures affect the nutrients, enzymes, and fermentation of tiger nuts and their milk. Refrigerating tiger nuts increases certain enzyme activities but lowers sugar content, while storing them at warmer temperatures increases sugars but decreases fats. When tiger nuts are stored at warmer temperatures, their milk ferments faster and develops a sweeter and sourer taste, offering potential for quicker and more flavorful production of tiger nut milk.…View details
