The study titled "Maternal Health Risk Factors Dataset: Clinical Parameters and Insights from Rural Bangladesh" presents a comprehensive dataset of 1206 pregnant women from Kurigram General Hospital. It investigates the impact of pre-existing diabetes on maternal health risks using statistical tests including Chi-Square, Z-test, T-test, and ANOVA. Key findings reveal a strong association between pre-existing diabetes and higher pregnancy risk levels, significantly affecting BMI and other vital clinical indicators. The dataset serves as a critical resource for advancing maternal health research and developing predictive models in resource-constrained settings.

The study "A Benchmark Dataset for Analyzing Hematological Responses to Dengue Fever in Bangladesh" presents a dataset of 1003 dengue patients from Kalai, Jaipurhat. It analyzes hematological parameters to identify gender-specific patterns and potential diagnostic markers. While no significant association was found between sex and overall diagnosis, statistically significant differences in hemoglobin levels between males and females were observed. The dataset holds promise for developing predictive models, improving clinical insights, and enhancing public health responses to dengue in endemic regions.
My Contributions:
Implemented code for data preprocessing, cleaning, and normalization
Conducted Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) and visualized key hematological trends
Performed advanced statistical analyses (Chi-Square, Z-test, T-test, ANOVA)
Co-authored the manuscript, contributing to data interpretation and insights
Designed reproducible analysis pipelines to support future research applications
The IEEE paper "Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanisms in Vision Transformers for Retinal Image Classification" explores the application of Vision Transformers (ViTs) in the automated detection of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). By leveraging multi-head self-attention mechanisms, the model effectively identifies critical features from retinal images. The approach achieved high performance metrics, including a 96.13% accuracy, 0.92 precision, 0.95 recall, 0.93 F1 score, and a 0.969 ROC-AUC score. This study highlights the potential of ViTs in improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing manual workload, and enabling earlier intervention in DR cases. Future enhancements aim to generalize the model across diverse datasets and integrate it into clinical workflows.

The paper "An explainable AI-based blood cell classification using optimized convolutional neural network" presents a high-performing, interpretable deep learning approach for classifying four types of white blood cells (WBCs): eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. A novel, optimized CNN architecture achieved a testing accuracy of 99.12%, surpassing transfer learning baselines including Inception V3, MobileNetV2, and DenseNet201. To tackle the “black box” nature of deep learning, explainable AI (XAI) techniques such as SHAP, LIME, Grad-CAM, and Grad-CAM++ were integrated, enhancing model transparency. The model was successfully deployed in a user-friendly web and Android application, promoting real-world clinical usability.

The paper “Tuberculosis Disease Detection from Chest X-rays Using Deep Learning Techniques” presents an efficient deep learning-based framework for identifying tuberculosis (TB) from chest X-ray (CXR) images. Leveraging a dataset of 3500 CXR images categorized into Tuberculosis and Normal classes, the study evaluates four prominent CNN architectures: VGG16, VGG19, MobileNetV2, and InceptionV3. Among these, MobileNetV2 outperformed the others, achieving 99.99% training accuracy and 98.93% test accuracy, making it the most robust model for automated TB detection. This research emphasizes the role of lightweight yet powerful models for real-world, scalable medical imaging applications.
