Assessment of the Clinical Diagnosis of Onychomycosis by Dermoscopy
BackgroundAs a common clinical superficial fungal infection, the diagnosis of onychomycosis relies on clinical features, traditional KOH direct microscopy and fungal culture. In recent years, dermoscopy has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment

Currently, the role of ultrasound (US) in anaesthesia-related airway assessment and procedural interventions is encouraging, though it is still ill defined. US can visualise anatomical structures in the supraglottic, glottic and subglottic regions. The floor of the mouth can be visualised by both transcutaneous view of the neck and also by transoral or

Crowdsourcing Airway Annotations in Chest Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
Measuring airways in chest computed tomography (CT) scans is important for characterizing diseases such as cystic fibrosis, yet very time-consuming to perform manually. Machine learning algorithms offer an alternative, but need large sets of annotated scans for good performance.

Transmission factors and exposure to infections at work and invasive pneumococcal disease
Abstract Background Working in close contacts with coworkers or the general public may be associated with transmission of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We investigated whether crowded workplaces, sharing surfaces, and exposure to infections were factors associated with IPD.

Effect of Air Pollutants on Allergic Inflammation in Structural Cells of the Nasal Mucosa [PDF]
Objectives. Air pollution is an increasing global concern, and its effect on allergic inflammation has attracted the attention of many researchers. Particulate matter (PM) is a major component of ambient air pollution, and heavy metals are the primary ...

A CT-Based Airway Segmentation Using U$^2$-net Trained by the Dice Loss Function [PDF]
Airway segmentation from chest computed tomography scans has played an essential role in the pulmonary disease diagnosis. The computer-assisted airway segmentation based on the U-net architecture is more efficient and accurate compared to the manual segmentation.

Airway Microbiota Is Associated with Upregulation of the PI3K Pathway in Lung Cancer
Rationale: In lung cancer, upregulation of the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3‐kinase) pathway is an early event that contributes to cell proliferation, survival, and tissue invasion.
