Computer ministered analysis is needed to diagnose nervous system diseases. Among the various human brain disorders ischemic stroke dominates and acts as the leading cause of death and frailty in most countries. A stroke occurs because of destruction of brain function due to the uproar in the blood stream to the brain. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are the tests that processes and accounts the brains activity and plays very important role in detection and investigation of stroke. Various automated methods support well in discussing the normal and abnormal regions of brain. By visual inception it is hard to locate the critical changes in MRI and CT, thus inaugural up an immense research area for biomedical engineers to progress and contrivance numerous smart procedures for the identification of such subtle deviations. Hence computer aided detection scheme has to be developed to identify the normal and abnormal activity of the brain. This survey on stroke is to study such diagnostic system to outperform in bringing out the stroke lesions. Such automated methods using brain MRI and CT images to classify stroke activity tumors from non-tumor images greatly support researchers and doctors.Keywords

In today’s world, food, besides their basic role in nutrition, has to meet additional aspects such as maintenance of health and to counteract diseases. Scientific research refers to health benefits of probiotics and prebiotics in human nutrition. An increasing demand of consumers for foodstuffs supplemented with live probiotic bacteria, gave rise to studies on the development of foods with these microorganisms. However, the possible applications of probiotics in non-dairy food products have not studied well. This study explores the new product, chocolate as a delivery vehicle for pre and probiotics. Probiotic chocolates were made using microencapsulated Lactobacillus strains along with fruit pulp to serve as prebiotics. The confirmatory tests for probiotics, sensory properties and shelf life were studied. The results revealed that the probiotic chocolate prepared with the incorporation of fruit extract like Passion fruit and Strawberry fruit rated the maximum by the consumers through sensory evaluation and the product has shelf-life of twenty days at room temperature without losing any organoleptic propertiesKeywords
