Mechanisms inherent in living organisms that are based on the signalling function of the external receptor zones are probably the most accurate signalling system ever existing. These zones hold a potential to relay information regarding incipient pathological alterations within organs at the disease nascent stages. The contemporary iridology considers the iris as one of five receptor zones endowed with a capability to “inform” about changes within the organism, often long before clinical symptoms are manifested. This study aimed to examine the iris potential to provide information on a presence of tumors in the organs on the example of breast tumour.

During a prospective comparative study of the mammographic, ultrasound and iridological method efficiency in diagnostics of benign and malignant breast tumors, were analyzed 305 female patients (including 10 persons is a comparison group) treated for newly diagnosed benign and malignant breast tumour at an oncology center. It is the first time when a comparative [...]

Introduction.

The scientific justification of the foundations of iridodiagnostics is due to the
presence of the most complex iridoorgan nerve connections in the body. In particular, the zones of the so-called Zakharin-GED, which are associated with the internal organs with the reflector, expressed by the external receptor areas on the skin and the colored curtain, are adequately based.

It has been found that the deformation of individual parts of the colored curtain and the appearance of various pigments in it occurs under the influence of pathological impulses emanating from the reflector, diseased organ and tissues. As a result of such an impulse, the tone of the colorant curtain tissue and its vessels changes, the known processes in it and, in particular, the pigment exchange are disrupted. This leads to a change in the density of individual parts of the colored curtain and the redistribution and “deposition” of pigments that the colored curtain is rich [...]

The main reason for choosing a thesis topic

The main reason for addressing the topic related to the digestive system in the context of iridology, for the author, was primarily the observation of the widespread occurrence of digestive system disorders in individuals with diagnosed chronic diseases, as well as in those without an official medical diagnosis. The digestive system, along with the nervous system, is the centre of efficient body functioning because it constitutes the primary pathway for obtaining energy for mitochondria through the process of digestion and absorption. Any dysfunctions in this area deplete the body’s energy, laying the foundation for chronic diseases, including tumours.

For this reason, in the author’s opinion, disorders of the digestive system form the basis for immune system disorders, and working with them simultaneously involves enhancing a person’s immunity. According to the author, it is crucial to [...]

Abstract

This study proposes a non-invasive method for predicting Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) using iris analysis, patient data, and Machine Learning (ML), primarily with iris images. It involved 281 participants, comprising 155 CAD patients and 126 non-patient controls, with eye images and biodemographic data collected at a Cardiology outpatient clinic. The study explored three scenarios: Scenario-I focused on biodemographic data, Scenario-II on iris features, and Scenario-III combined iris images and data. Iris processing included location determination, normalization, and heart region selection, with image enhancement via adaptive histogram equalization. Feature extraction through a 2-level wavelet transform generated 272 attributes, including statistical, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix, and Gray Level Run Length Matrix features for eight subcomponents. Correlation-based selection identified the best features, and classification employed ML techniques and incorporated stacking learning to enhance the results. Scenario-I achieved the highest accuracy at 83.57% among all evaluated algorithms. In Scenario-II, the proposed algorithm consistently [...]

Abstract

Studying the structural study of the iris, it is possible to evaluate records associated with physical and psychosomatic health. The formation and arrangement of pigments in the iris is complex, It allows ability to encode human states, the iris conformation demonstrate responses are notorious during happy and sad moments, alertness and fatigue. It is one of the noblest structures in the human body, extremely pigmented and vascularized, as unique as the digitalis. The connection with all the organs and its sensorial demonstration visible macro and microscopically. The objective is to describe, through review, the importance of iridology for optometry in the area in primary care, corroborating to identify, in addition to ocular alterations, hidden or future problems, contributing in a diagnostic hypothesis with a holistic view and in the direction for multidisciplinary sectors , avoiding queues in the unified health system, which already adopts a program of integrative and complementary practices (PICS), as a [...]

Abstract

Eyes have always been an object of fascination for humanity. Records about signs found in the iris in people and their correlations with the emergence of diseases are very old, but Ignatez Von Peczeley, in Hungary, was credited with codifying them and thus creating iridology. In veterinary medicine, this diagnostic resource is still very little used. The present work was carried out to improve the Veterinary Iridological Map in the domestic cat (Felis catus) using software developed for human iridology. Containment methods, photography and the correspondence of points recorded by the software and a classic iridological map proposed by Batello and Costa (2019) were evaluated. The results found allowed us to establish a correspondence between the software plots and the Battelo iridological map, which suggests that the software can be used in the iridodiagnosis routine.

Conclusion

Under the conditions under which the study was conducted, we can conclude that taking photographs did not represent [...]

BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease (CHD) significantly impacts human health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) suggests a possible correlation between eye-image and CHD, but this relationship has not been fully explored in Western medicine.

PURPOSE We aim to investigate the potential causal relationship between eye-image features and CHD, as examined by coronary angiography (CAG).

METHODS The study selected patients hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology from November 15, 2021, to February 27, 2022. The selected patients were divided into two groups based on their CAG findings: the CHD group (at least one coronary lesion stenosis≥ 50%) and the control group (lesion stenosis<50%)

RESULTS The final analysis included 342 patients out of a total of 426 participants, of these, 165 patients (48.2%) were diagnosed with CHD. The study found that certain characteristics in the left region 5(L5) and right region ( R5) were associated with CHD, including L5 pink dark speckle (OR: 4.143, [...]

Computers are now able to play a role in the diagnostic process for diabetes patients because of developments in the disciplines of medical imaging and information technology. It is difficult to reduce death rates to more reasonable levels by employing early and precise detection approaches. When seeking to identify risk factors for complications, acute and long-term difficulties, mortality, and medical care expenses, data on the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and prediabetes is important. The International Diabetes Federation estimates the occurrence of diabetes based on the present status and prevalence of diabetes worldwide. In addition, variables, such as physiological markers, that may have a role in the development of diabetes are investigated. Complementary and alternative methods, especially iris-based diagnostics, have made significant advances in the identification of diabetes and associated disorders. Diabetes is a leading cause of renal failure globally. It raises the likelihood of heart and blood vessel problems. Diabetic kidney disease is [...]

Abstract:

The pseudoscience known as iridology makes the unsubstantiated claim that it can identify medical disorders by examining the iris, the colored portion of the eye. Iridology does not provide a reliable means of diagnosis, and there is no scientific proof to back up its claims. To find patterns that are connected to particular medical conditions, computerized iris analysis software may need to examine thousands of iris images. A method of iridology known as Computer-Aided Iridology (CAI) uses software to study the iris. CAI still is not a medically accepted diagnostic technique and is not any more trustworthy than conventional iridology. Applying technology in medical science had a great impact on diagnosing diseases. Decision making is the most critical task in computer-aided applications. Computer vision and deep learning make this task more accurate and are widely used in many applications, mainly in diagnosing diseases. The methodologies, data acquisition source,
and volume of data used [...]
