Early detection of pancreatic cancer is difficult, and thus many cases of pancreatic cancer are diagnosed late. When pancreatic cancer is detected, the cancer is usually well developed. Machine learning is an approach that is part of artificial intelligence and can detect pancreatic cancer early. This paper proposes a machine learning approach with the twin support vector machine (TWSVM) method as a new approach to detecting pancreatic cancer early. TWSVM aims to find two symmetry planes such that each plane has a distance close to one data class and as far as possible from another data class. TWSVM is fast in building a model and has good generalizations. However, TWSVM requires kernel functions to operate in the feature space. The kernel functions commonly used are the linear kernel, polynomial kernel, and radial basis function (RBF) kernel. This paper uses the TWSVM method with these kernels and compares the best kernel for use by TWSVM to detect pancreatic cancer early. In this paper, the TWSVM model with each kernel is evaluated using a 10-fold cross validation. The results obtained are that TWSVM based on the kernel is able to detect pancreatic cancer with good performance. However, the best kernel obtained is the RBF kernel, which produces an accuracy of 98%, a sensitivity of 97%, a specificity of 100%, and a running time of around 1.3408 s.
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the blood glucose level is higher than normal and also leads to health problems. Early and accurate diagnosis needs to be carried out on individuals affected by this disease. Furthermore, excellent treatment needs to be provided to prevent worse situations. Some studies have used several machine learning methods to diagnose diabetes. Furthermore, in this study, the Backward Elimination and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm was used to classify the PIMA Indians diabetes dataset. It consisted of 268 diabetic and 500 non-diabetic patients with eight attributes. Backward Elimination is a feature selection method used to remove irrelevant features based on the linear regression model. Using this method, the right features for the model was expected. This method has some advantages which include increasing training time, decreasing complexity and improving performance and accuracy. Therefore, the performance of SVM improved. Based on the experiments, it was discovered that by combining feature selection algorithm (backward elimination) and SVM, the highest accuracy obtained was 85.71% using 90% data training. Therefore, it was concluded that Backward Elimination combined with SVM algorithm is an excellent method to classify diabetes by using the PIMA Indians diabetes dataset.
Ovarian cancer is one of the common malignancies in women and a known cause of death. This condition occurs when a tumor appears from the growth of abnormal cells in the ovary. It causes about 140.000 deaths out of 225.000 cases annually. Most women with ovarian cancer do not have distinctive signs and symptoms even at the late stage. Therefore, diagnosis at an early stage is necessary because it has a significant impact on the survival rate. Machine learning with various methods can be used in the medical field to classify diseases. Among the many methods, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used and analyzed in this study to classify ovarian cancer. The data used were from Al Islam Bandung Hospital consisting of 203 instances with 130 labeled ovarian cancer and 73 as non-ovarian. The results showed that the KNN produced higher results than SVM with 90.47% of accuracy and 94.11% of F1-score, while SVM produced accuracy and F1-score values of 90.47% and 92.30% respectively.
Research on chronic ischemic stroke is limited. One of the more promising approaches showing positive effects in the acute stage is mononuclear bone marrow cell therapy. This research may be the first which presents data about the optimum dose of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) for chronic ischemic stroke in rats and discusses factors influencing recovery in the chronic stage. We performed temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) procedures on the rats which were then randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups in which they were given either low or high doses of autologous BM-MNCs (5 million or 10 million cells per kg body weight). Rat brains were fixed for HE, CD31, and doublecortin staining for analysis of the effects. Rat behavior was assessed weekly using the cylinder test and a modified neurological severity score (NSS) test. In the four weeks prior to administration of BM-MNC, cylinder test scores improved to near normal, and NSS test scores improved moderately. The infarct zone decreased significantly (p <0,01), there was an improvement in angiogenesis (p = 0.1590) and a significant improvement in neurogenesis (p <0,01). Reduction of the infarct zone was associated with a higher dose whereas both higher and lower doses were found to have a similar effect on improving angiogenesis, and neurogenesis. Recovery was superior after twelve weeks compared with the recovery assessment at eight weeks. In conclusion, a dose of 10 million cells was more effective than a dose of 5 million cells per kg body weight for reducing the infarct zone and ameliorating neurogenesis. There was an improvement of histopathological parameters associated with the longer infarct period.
