A prototype of a smart gesture-controlled mirror with enhanced interactivity is proposed and designed in this paper. With the help of hand gestures, the mirror provides some basic amenities like time, news, weather etc. The designed system uses Pi cam for image acquisition to perform the functions like gesture recognition and an ultrasonic sensor for presence detection. This paper also discusses the experimental analysis of human gesture interaction using parameters like the angle which ranges its horizon from 0 to 37 degree when tilting the forearm up and down and 0 to 15 degrees when the forearm is twisted right to left and otherwise based on yellow, pink and white background colours. Additionally, the range of detection using an ultrasonic sensor is restricted to the active region of 69.6 to 112.5 degrees. Moreover, time delay which takes half a second for a time as retrieve with the system and take 6 to 10 seconds for fetching headlines and weather information from the internet. These analyses are taken into account to subsequently improve the design algorithm of the gesture-controlled smart mirror. The framework developed comprises of three different gesture defects under which mirror will display the mentioned information on its screen.

Intelligent building and environment sensing technology are becoming more and more popular. Many office buildings use IoT to set up environment collection sensors to collect environmental information, however the way of evacuation inside still using traditional evacuation guidance equipment. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligent evacuation guidance system with open system architecture(IEGSOS), integrating with environment monitoring system and intelligent guidance equipment. The IEGSOS is developed based on the service-oriented architecture(SOA) and the data exchange technology is utilized to provide an integrated programming interface. By adopting the multimedia technology and integrating with the existing communication and guidance devices in environments, the optimal evacuation path is provided to the asylum in case of environmental crisis as a reference for safety evacuation at critical times.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual has become the benchmark for classifying patients with cancer, defining prognosis, and determining the best treatment approaches. Many view the primary role of the tumor, lymph node, metastasis (TNM) system as that of a standardized classification system for evaluating cancer at a population level in terms of the extent of disease, both at initial presentation and after surgical treatment, and the overall impact of improvements in cancer treatment. The rapid evolution of knowledge in cancer biology and the discovery and validation of biologic factors that predict cancer outcome and response to treatment with better accuracy have led some cancer experts to question the utility of a TNM-based approach in clinical care at an individualized patient level. In the Eighth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, the goal of including relevant, nonanatomic (including molecular) factors has been foremost, although changes are made only when there is strong evidence for inclusion. The editorial board viewed this iteration as a proactive effort to continue to build the important bridge from a population-based to a more personalized approach to patient classification, one that forms the conceptual framework and foundation of cancer staging in the era of precision molecular oncology. The AJCC promulgates best staging practices through each new edition in an effort to provide cancer care providers with a powerful, knowledge-based resource for the battle against cancer. In this commentary, the authors highlight the overall organizational and structural changes as well as what's new in the Eighth Edition. It is hoped that this information will provide the reader with a better understanding of the rationale behind the aggregate proposed changes and the exciting developments in the upcoming edition.
