The authors carried out a review of 12 cases of multiloculated hydrocephalus who were treated at King Khalid University Hospital between 1988-1994. The multiloculation appears to have developed following the shunt infection in all cases. The hydrocephalus was related to an intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in 9 patients and was congenital in 2 patients and post-meningitic in 1 patient. The shunt infection was caused by a gram-negative organism in 8 patients and duration of external ventricular drainage ranged from 9-24 (median 13) days. The diagnosis of multiloculated hydrocephalus was made on average 2 months after the shunt infection. In three patients endoscopic fenestration of intraventricular septations was attempted but was effective in only one case. The other patients were managed by two shunts (9 patients) and three shunts (2 patients). At a mean follow-up of 15 months, the shunt revision rate of the patients was 0.4/year. One patient died of multiple brain abscesses and 6 patients remain severely disabled. The poor outcome may also be related to the original IVH as well as the multiloculated hydrocephalus. The study also shows that patients with post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus, who develop a shunt infection due to gram-negative organisms and in whom the CSF fails to be cleared of the infection following 12 days of external drainage appear to be at risk of developing multiloculated hydrocephalus.

However, it raises quite a lot of critical security concerns. This paper presented a home automation security system that employs the Internet of Things (IoT) for remote access to one's home through an Android application, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ensure the home's security. Face recognition is utilized to control door entry in a highly efficient security system. In the event of a technical failure, an additional security PIN is set up that is only accessible by the owner. Although a home automation system may be used for various tasks, the cost is prohibitive for many customers. Hence, the objective of this paper is to provide a budget and user-friendly system, ensuring access to the application and home attributes by using multi-modal security. Using Haar Cascade and LBPH the system achieved 92.86% accuracy while recognizing face.
