NLR, MLR, PLR and RDW to predict outcome and differentiate between viral and bacterial pneumonia in the intensive care unit

Scientific Reports, 2022
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and red cell distribution width (RDW) are emerging biomarkers to predict outcomes in general ward patients.

Metagenomic identification of pathogenic bacteria for pneumonia from postmortem lung tissue

Human Pathology Reports, 2022
Pathologists have been concerned about the validity of bacterial cultures from lung tissue for the postmortem identification of pneumonia-associated pathogens. Therefore, we studied whether pathogenic bacteria that cause pneumonia could be identified via

Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Pneumonia Detection Using Chest X-ray

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.

Lung-resident memory B cells protect against bacterial pneumonia.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2021
Lung-resident memory B cells (BRM cells) are elicited after influenza infections of mice, but connections to other pathogens and hosts - as well as their functional significance - have yet to be determined. We postulate that BRM cells are core components
