Vasomotor instability symptoms, also known as “hot flashes,” are common among menopausal women; they can also occur in older men. A hot flash involves a sudden sensation of being overheated, often accompanied by sweating and vasodilation of the face, neck, and chest. Hot flashes occurring at night during sleep may generate night sweats.151 The prevalence of vasomotor symptoms increases with obesity, anxiety, depression, higher environmental temperatures, and lower altitudes.152

The tuberculosis model is discussed in this paper using GA-SQP. The symptoms of tuberculosis include cough, sputum production, fever, weight loss, night sweats, hemoptysis, anorexia, and dyspnea. The global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic has created an urgent need for early detection and effective therapy of tuberculosis patients, especially those with pulmonary TB who transmit infection. The discovery of TB's cause by German physician Robert Koch, which he revealed on March 24, 1882, Mycobacterium tuberculosis was identified as the agent. TB remains a substantial cause of illness and death around the world; it is estimated that one-third of the world's population is attacked with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with an estimated nine million people diagnosed with the disease each year and nearly two million dying from it [26,27]. According to a recent systematic study, those with diabetes mellitus (DM) had around three times the chance of having tuberculosis infection as people without the condition [28].
