The current landscape of microRNAs (miRNAs) in bacterial pneumonia: opportunities and challenges
Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2022 MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which were initially discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans, can regulate gene expression by recognizing cognate sequences and interfering with the transcriptional or translational machinery.

Enhancing COVID-19 Diagnosis through Vision Transformer-Based Analysis of Chest X-ray Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The advent of 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) has engendered a momentous global health crisis, necessitating the identification of the ailment in individuals through diverse diagnostic modalities. Radiological imaging, particularly the deployment of X-ray imaging, has been recognized as a pivotal instrument in the detection and characterization of COVID-19.

Deletions in the neuraminidase stalk region of H2N2 and H9N2 avian influenza virus subtypes do not affect postinfluenza secondary bacterial pneumonia [PDF]
, 2012 We investigated the synergism between influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, particularly the role of deletions in the stalk region of the neuraminidase (NA) of H2N2 and H9N2 avian influenza viruses.

What Does it Mean When a Child is Diagnosed with Pneumonia?
Pediatric Respirology and Critical Care Medicine, 2019 Pneumonia is a frequent diagnosis without adequate consideration of the etiology. Pneumonia implies the presence of inflammation of the lung parenchyma with consolidation. That inflammation may be from infectious or noninfectious causes.

Classification of pediatric pneumonia using chest X-rays by functional regression [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An accurate and prompt diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia is imperative for successful treatment intervention. One approach to diagnose pneumonia cases is using radiographic data. In this article, we propose a novel parsimonious scalar-on-image classification model adopting the ideas of functional data analysis.

Proposing a two-step Decision Support System (TPIS) based on Stacked ensemble classifier for early and low cost (step-1) and final (step-2) differential diagnosis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis from non-tuberculosis Pneumonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease presenting similar symptoms to pneumonia; therefore, differentiating between TB and pneumonia is challenging. Therefore, the main aim of this study is proposing an automatic method for differential diagnosis of TB from Pneumonia.

Association of C-Reactive Protein With Bacterial and Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Associated Pneumonia Among Children Aged \u3c5 Years in the PERCH Study. [PDF]
, 2017 Background. Lack of a gold standard for identifying bacterial and viral etiologies of pneumonia has limited evaluation of C-reactive protein (CRP) for identifying bacterial pneumonia.

Indirect effect of 7-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccines on pneumococcal pneumonia hospitalizations in elderly [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality and has a high burden in morbidity. In Portugal, 7-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine (PCV) was used since 2001 and PCV10/13 since 2009, being the last introduced into the National ...

Bacterial Pneumonia in Older Adults
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2017 The incidence of pneumonia increases with age, and is particularly high in patients who reside in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Mortality rates for pneumonia in older adults are high and have not decreased in the last decade. Atypical symptoms and exacerbation of underlying illnesses should trigger clinical suspicion of pneumonia. Risk factors for
