Deep Learning to Quantify Pulmonary Edema in Chest Radiographs [PDF]
, 2020 Purpose: To develop a machine learning model to classify the severity grades of pulmonary edema on chest radiographs. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 369,071 chest radiographs and associated radiology reports from 64,581 (mean age, 51.71; 54.51% women) patients from the MIMIC-CXR chest radiograph dataset were included.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Fatal Alveolar Echinococcosis of the Lumbar Spine [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2013 ABSTRACT For the last 10 years, the southern part of Belgium has been recognized as a low-risk area of endemicity for alveolar echinococcosis. This infection, caused by Echinococcus multilocularis , usually induces a severe liver condition and can sometimes spread to other organs.

Risk Factors for Alveolar Echinococcosis in Humans [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 We conducted a case-control study to investigate risk factors for acquiring autochthonous alveolar echinococcosis in Germany. Forty cases and 120 controls matched by age and residence were interviewed. Patients were more likely than controls to have owned dogs that killed game (odds ratio [OR] = 18.0), lived in a farmhouse (OR = 6.4), owned dogs that ...
