Uncertainty Quantification for Eosinophil Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition increasing in prevalence. To diagnose EoE, pathologists must find 15 or more eosinophils within a single high-power field (400X magnification). Determining whether or not a patient has EoE can be an arduous process and any medical imaging approaches used to assist diagnosis must consider both ...

Mechanical properties of the lung in extrinsic allergic alveolitis. [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 1978
The lung function of 14 patients with extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by exposure to mouldy hay (farmer's lung) or to birds (bird fancier's lung) was studied one week and four to six weeks after the last exposure to antigen. These data, together with lung mechanics measured four weeks after antigen exposure, were compared with measurements in 34 ...

Expression of oxidant and antioxidant enzymes in human lung and interstitial lung diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Antioxidants function as blockers of radical processes and eliminate harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during normal cellular metabolism. A complex antioxidant defence system has evolved to protect the cellular homeostasis.

Alveolite alérgica extrínseca com expressão imunológica atípica Extrinsic allergic alveolitis with an atypical immune expression

open access: yesRevista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, 2009
A alveolite alérgica extrínseca e a sarcoidose são ambas doenças granulomatosas pulmonares que se caracterizam pela presença de granulomas não necrotizantes. Ambas apresentam alterações típicas no lavado broncoalveolar, com relações CD4/CD8 opostas.
