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.

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 ...
