Respirology Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.We report a case where the complete membranes of a ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst were removed during conscious sedation bronchoscopy. Abstract The complete removal of a pulmonary hydatid cyst by bronchoscopy occurs rarely in clinical practice. We describe a 22‐year‐old male originally from Lebanon, with suspected hydatid cyst rupture on computed ...

Use of the Deep Learning Approach to Measure Alveolar Bone Level [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Abstract: Aim: The goal was to use a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to measure the radiographic alveolar bone level to aid periodontal diagnosis. Material and methods: A Deep Learning (DL) model was developed by integrating three segmentation networks (bone area, tooth, cementoenamel junction) and image analysis to measure the radiographic bone ...

A modeling-based evaluation of isothermal rebreathing for breath gas analyses of highly soluble volatile organic compounds [PDF]
J. Breath Res. 6, 016005, 11pp (2012), 2011 Isothermal rebreathing has been proposed as an experimental technique for estimating the alveolar levels of hydrophilic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. Using the prototypic test compound acetone we demonstrate that the end-tidal breath profiles of such substances during isothermal rebreathing show characteristics that contradict ...

An agent-based modelling framework to study growth mechanisms in EGFR-L858R mutant alveolar type II cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in never-smoker patients. However, these mutations are not always carcinogenic, and have recently been reported in histologically normal lung tissue from patients with and without lung cancer.

Journal of Biophotonics, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2024.Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a global health concern caused by cestodes. In this retrospective case study, Fourier transform infrared microscopy was explored for detecting and identifying CE through biochemical changes in human tissue sections. Results revealed the method's ability to distinguish echinococcus elements from human tissue, irrespective ...

Prevalence of human alveolar echinococcosis in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BMC Public Health, 2020 Background Human alveolar echinococcosis (HAE), caused by the larvae of Echinococcus multilocularis, is a severe parasitic disease that is a major public health concern. New HAE cases in China account for 91% of the global HAE burden every year. Although

Global Distribution of Alveolar and Cystic Echinococcosis [PDF]
, 2017 Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are severe helminthic zoonoses. Echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of AE) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained in a wild animal cycle including canids as definitive hosts and rodents as intermediate hosts.

The role of cell‐free DNA in non‐invasive diagnosis of urinary tract infection
UroPrecision, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 41-50, June 2024.Abstract Urinary tract infection (UTI) constitutes a pervasive health concern. UTIs are dichotomously classified into upper and lower strata, and further categorized as either complicated or uncomplicated. Upper UTIs predominantly afflict the renal and ureteral domains, typified by conditions exemplified in pyelonephritis, whereas lower UTIs manifest ...
