Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Pneumonia Detection Using Chest X-ray [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2020
Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease, which occurs in the lungs caused by either bacterial or viral infection. It can be life-endangering if not acted upon at the right time and thus the early diagnosis of pneumonia is vital.

Bacterial pneumonia score to identify bacterial pneumonia

Paediatrica Indonesiana, 2015
Background Pneumonia is caused by either bacterial or viral etiologies, with similar symptoms in children. The bacterial pneumonia score (BPS) is a clinical assessment comprised of several investigations: age, assessment of axillary temperature, absolute

Measurement of complement receptor 1 on neutrophils in bacterial and viral pneumonia [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background A reliable prediction of the causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is not possible based on clinical features. Our aim was to test, whether the measurement of the expression of complement receptors or Fcγ receptors on ...

A model for COVID-19 and bacterial pneumonia coinfection with community- and hospital-acquired infections [PDF]

Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation With Applications, 2(4), 197-210, 2022, 2022
We propose a new mathematical model to study the coinfection dynamics of COVID-19 and bacterial pneumonia. Our model includes two infection ways for pneumonia, corresponding to community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections. We show that the existence and local stability of equilibria depend on three different parameters, which are interpreted as ...
