Healthcare Internet of Things (HIoT) requires large-scale privacy features to ensure maximum security in sharing sensitive physiological data in consumer electronics. Recent approaches utilize the fusion concept to provide maximum privacy in health data sharing. Embedded signing data fusion with the health observed data ensures privacy preserved sharing across heterogeneous medical consumer devices for diagnosis. This article proposes a Dependency-correlated Data Fusion Scheme (DcDFS) to maximize the privacy of the health data-sharing process. The proposed scheme prepares separate key signing procedures using triple-DES (data encryption standard) to embed with the accumulated health data. The fusion process is carried out by defining key headers and integrity footers for authentication and verification. Therefore, the fusion generates a combined sequence of linear authentication and validation procedures enclosing the health data. In this scheme, the role of federated learning is to prevent permuted sequences for the same health data. This research integrates Small Language Model (SLM) and Large Language Model (LLM) into the federated learning module to support secure, scalable, and intelligent healthcare data sharing. Their collaboration enhances context-aware training while preserving privacy across decentralized, encrypted environments. A similar sequence mapped between the header and footer is responsible for discarding unauthorized data handling. The learning process verifies the permutation for many-to-one header to footer and vice versa. Therefore, the proposed fusion scheme generates a linear dependency between the actual and security-related data for maximum privacy. The proposed scheme achieves the following: the computation time is confined by 12.424%, the privacy leakage by 12.923%, and the computation efficiency is improved by 11.46%, as observed under the maximum sequences.

Background: Glaucoma leads to irreversible blindness. Globally, it is the second most common retinal disease that leads to blindness, slightly less common than cataracts. Therefore, there is a great need to avoid the silent growth of this disease using recently developed generative adversarial networks (GANs). Objective: This paper aims to introduce a GAN technology for the diagnosis of eye disorders, particularly glaucoma. This paper illustrates deep adversarial learning as a potential diagnostic tool and the challenges involved in its implementation. This study describes and analyzes many of the pitfalls and problems that researchers will need to overcome to implement this kind of technology. Methods: To organize this review comprehensively, articles and reviews were collected using the following keywords: (“Glaucoma,” “optic disc,” “blood vessels”) and (“receptive field,” “loss function,” “GAN,” “Generative Adversarial Network,” “Deep learning,” “CNN,” “convolutional neural network” OR encoder). The records were identified from 5 highly reputed databases: IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and PubMed. These libraries broadly cover the technical and medical literature. Publications within the last 5 years, specifically 2015-2020, were included because the target GAN technique was invented only in 2014 and the publishing date of the collected papers was not earlier than 2016. Duplicate records were removed, and irrelevant titles and abstracts were excluded. In addition, we excluded papers that used optical coherence tomography and visual field images, except for those with 2D images. A large-scale systematic analysis was performed, and then a summarized taxonomy was generated. Furthermore, the results of the collected articles were summarized and a visual representation of the results was presented on a T-shaped matrix diagram. This study was conducted between March 2020 and November 2020. Results: We found 59 articles after conducting a comprehensive survey of the literature. Among the 59 articles, 30 present actual attempts to synthesize images and provide accurate segmentation/classification using single/multiple landmarks or share certain experiences. The other 29 articles discuss the recent advances in GANs, do practical experiments, and contain analytical studies of retinal disease. Conclusions: Recent deep learning techniques, namely GANs, have shown encouraging performance in retinal disease detection. Although this methodology involves an extensive computing budget and optimization process, it saturates the greedy nature of deep learning techniques by synthesizing images and solves major medical issues. This paper contributes to this research field by offering a thorough analysis of existing works, highlighting current limitations, and suggesting alternatives to support other researchers and participants in further improving and strengthening future work. Finally, new directions for this research have been identified.

This study attempts to synthesize a realistic-looking fundus image from a morphologically changed vessel structure using the newly proposed sharpening and varying vessels technique (SVV). This technique sharpens the reconstructed vessels and introduces variation to their structure to generate multiple images from a single input mask. This helps to reduce the reliance on expensive and scarce annotated medical data. The study also aims to overcome the limitations of current methods, such as unrealistic optic disc boundaries, extreme vessel tortuosity, and missed optic discs. This is mainly due to the fact that existing models penalize their weights based on the difference between real and synthetic images using only a single mask. Therefore, their emphasis is on generating the input mask while disregarding other important fundoscopic features. Inspired by the recent progress in Generative Adversarial Nets (GANs) and Variational Autoencoder (VAE), the proposed approach was able to preserve the geometrical shape of critical fundus characteristics. Visual and quantitative results indicate that the produced images are considerably distinct from the ones used for training. However, they also exhibit anatomical coherence and a reasonable level of visual.

The current study aims to identify the main areas and emerging trends in the field of artificial intelligence research in field of combating drug addiction. It relies on an accurate and organized scientific methodology to achieve its objectives, as research literature related to artificial intelligence in the field of combating drug addiction was collected from the Science Citation Index Expanded database within the Web of Science Core Collection. The period from 2015 to 2024 witnessed a significant increase in the number of research articles published on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in combating addiction, reflecting a growing global interest in this field. 31 research studies from several countries were analyzed, with the results showing that the United States of America leads research production with 4.34% (14 research papers), followed by Italy (5 research papers), indicating the significant challenges these countries face in the field of addiction. Countries such as Poland, Canada, India (two research papers each), Iran, Spain, Indonesia, China and Brazil have also begun to increase their focus on developing innovative solutions using AI. The current study identified key focus areas and emerging trends in the use of AI to diagnose and treat drug addiction. The findings suggest that AI will play an increasingly important role in efforts to combat this problem.
