Real-Time Smart Road Accident Detection System Using IoT and Sensors for Faster Emergency Response
This literature review examines studies related to real-time smart road accident detection systems using IoT, sensors, communication technologies, and intelligent emergency response methods. The reviewed studies show that accident detection systems commonly use accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS, GSM/GPRS, microcontrollers, cloud platforms, dashboards, and real-time alerting mechanisms to reduce delays in emergency notification. Some studies focus on low-cost vehicle-mounted systems, while others explore broader emergency response platforms, V2V/V2I communication, smart traffic lights, driver monitoring, and AI-based accident or incident detection. The reviewed studies also show that machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, YOLO-based models, and multi-agent systems can support accident recognition and traffic monitoring. However, several limitations remain, including limited real-world testing, false alarms, threshold sensitivity, weak emergency coordination, connectivity problems, limited sensor fusion, and security or privacy concerns. Overall, the reviewed studies support the need for a practical hybrid system that combines IoT-based sensing, location tracking, reliable communication, emergency alerting, and, where suitable, AI-based validation for faster and more reliable road accident response.

AI-Driven Breath Analysis for Early Lung Cancer Detection Using Optimized Ensemble Learning of VOC Biomarkers
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and the limitations of conventional detection methods. Early and accurate identification is crucial for improving patient survival rates. This study proposes a novel, non-invasive approach for lung cancer prediction using AI-enhanced breath analysis based on volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers. The proposed system utilizes sensor-based breath data to capture VOC patterns associated with lung cancer. Advanced Preprocessing and feature selection techniques are applied to identify the most relevant biomarkers, reducing data complexity and improving model efficiency. An ensemble machine learning framework, combining multiple classifiers such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Gradient Boosting, is employed to enhance prediction accuracy and robustness. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed model achieves high accuracy, precision, and recall, outperforming individual classifiers. The system also shows strong potential for real-time implementation due to its computational efficiency. This approach offers a cost-effective, portable, and non-invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic techniques. Overall, the integration of VOC biomarker analysis with feature-selected ensemble learning provides a promising solution for early lung cancer detection, paving the way for improved screening methods and better clinical outcomes.

Association of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus with Reperfusion Timelines in STEMI Patients Undergoing Primary PCI at a Tertiary Care Cardiac Centre in Jodhpur, Rajasthan: A Prospective Observational Study
Background ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) remains one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Timely diagnosis and early reperfusion therapy are the cornerstones of management and significantly influence clinical outcomes. Evaluation of demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, and reperfusion timelines is essential for improving quality indicators in acute cardiac care. Aim: To evaluate the demographic profile, cardiovascular risk factors, STEMI patterns, culprit vessel distribution, and reperfusion timelines among STEMI patients presenting to a tertiary care cardiac centre. Materials and Methods This prospective observational study was conducted at Trinay Hospital, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. A total of 60 consecutive patients diagnosed with STEMI and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included. Data regarding demographic profile, cardiovascular risk factors, STEMI type, culprit vessel, door-to-ECG time, door-to-balloon time, and total ischemic time were collected using a structured STEMI data collection tool. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. Statistical Data Analysis: Chi-Square Analysis of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Correlation. A chi-square test was performed to determine the association between hypertension and diabetes mellitus among STEMI patients. Table 1: Correlation Between Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus Variable Diabetes Present Diabetes Absent Total Hypertension Present 28 11 39 Hypertension Absent 9 12 21 Total 37 23 60 Statistical Findings • Chi-square (χ²) value = 5.84 • Degrees of freedom = 1 • p-value = 0.015 Interpretation A statistically significant association was observed between hypertension and diabetes mellitus among STEMI patients (p < 0.05). Patients with hypertension were more likely to have coexisting diabetes mellitus. Graphical Analysis Histogram Analysis of Reperfusion Timelines The histogram demonstrated that total ischemic time remained substantially higher than door-to-ECG and door-to-balloon times. Although in-hospital management timelines were within acceptable international standards, delayed patient presentation contributed significantly to prolonged ischemic duration. Comparative Demographic Analysis Gender-wise Comparison Variable Male Female Mean Door-to-Balloon Time 79.4 minutes 84. Interpretation of Comparative Analysis Patients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension demonstrated relatively prolonged ischemic times and delayed reperfusion compared to patients without these risk factors. Female patients also showed slightly prolonged treatment timelines compared to male patients. Results: The mean age of patients was 56.7 ± 8.7 years. Male patients constituted 68.3% of the study population. Hypertension was present in 65%, diabetes mellitus in 61.7%, smoking history in 53.3%, alcohol consumption in 46.7%, and prior coronary artery disease in 25% of patients. Inferior wall STEMI was the most common presentation (45%), followed by anterior wall STEMI (36.7%). The right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery were equally involved as culprit vessels (43.3% each). Mean door-to-ECG time was 12.48 minutes, while mean door-to-balloon time was 81.18 minutes. Mean total ischemic time was 282.6 minutes. Conclusion: STEMI predominantly affected middle-aged male patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Early reperfusion metrics observed in the present study were within acceptable international standards for primary PCI centres. Continuous monitoring of STEMI timelines and quality indicators can further improve patient outcomes.

Security Challenges in Cross-Chain Asset Transfer Systems
The rapid growth of blockchain technologies and decentralized finance has significantly increased the demand for secure interoperability solutions between independent blockchain networks. Cross-chain asset transfer systems, commonly known as blockchain bridges, enable the movement of digital assets and data across multiple blockchain ecosystems, improving scalability, liquidity distribution, and usability of decentralized applications. However, the increasing adoption of cross-chain infrastructures has also introduced substantial security risks. In recent years, bridge-related exploits have resulted in financial losses exceeding billions of US dollars, making interoperability systems one of the most vulnerable components of decentralized ecosystems. This paper analyzes the primary security challenges associated with cross-chain asset transfer systems and examines the architectural characteristics of modern blockchain bridge solutions. The study reviews major bridge architectures, including lock-and-mint bridges, burn-and-release bridges, liquidity pool bridges, validator-based bridges, and light-client bridges. In addition, the paper investigates common attack vectors such as smart contract vulnerabilities, replay attacks, validator compromise, oracle manipulation, multisignature weaknesses, consensus desynchronization, and liquidity draining attacks. The research further evaluates several major bridge exploits, including the Ronin Bridge, Wormhole, and Nomad incidents, in order to identify recurring security weaknesses and operational failures. The paper also discusses mitigation strategies such as decentralized validation mechanisms, threshold signature schemes, formal verification, anomaly detection systems, transaction monitoring, and rate-limiting approaches. Finally, the study explores future research directions related to zero-knowledge interoperability systems, AI-based fraud detection, trust-minimized bridge architectures, and quantum-resistant cryptographic mechanisms. The findings demonstrate that achieving secure and scalable interoperability remains one of the central challenges in modern blockchain infrastructure development.

Hybrid Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches for Network Traffic Anomaly Detection: A Literature Review
Network traffic produces large volumes of data every second, and traditional security tools often struggle to detect new or unknown attacks hidden within this traffic. Anomaly-based intrusion detection systems address this problem by learning normal network behavior and identifying suspicious deviations. This literature review examines recent studies that use machine learning, deep learning, and hybrid machine learning-deep learning approaches for network traffic anomaly detection. The review focuses on feature selection, model complexity, dataset use, evaluation metrics, and the practical challenges that still limit real-world deployment. The reviewed studies show that traditional machine learning models can remain efficient when supported by careful feature selection, while deep learning models are useful for learning more complex spatial and temporal traffic patterns. Hybrid approaches often report stronger performance because they combine the speed and simplicity of machine learning with the representational power of deep learning. However, the literature also shows continuing weaknesses, including reliance on static benchmark datasets, class imbalance, computational cost, limited explainability, and uncertainty about performance in live networks. The review concludes that hybrid approaches are promising, but their future value depends on making them lighter, more explainable, and more reliable outside controlled experimental settings.
