TIV vaccination modulates host responses to influenza virus infection that correlate with protection against bacterial superinfection [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Influenza virus infection predisposes to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Currently licensed influenza vaccines aim at the induction of neutralizing antibodies and are less effective if the induction of neutralizing antibodies is low and/or the

Pneumonia after bacterial or viral infection preceded or followed by radiation exposure -- a reanalysis of older radiobiological data and implications for low dose radiotherapy for COVID-19 pneumonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Currently, there are 14 ongoing clinical studies on low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) for COVID-19 pneumonia. An underlying assumption is that irradiation of about 1 Gy is effective at ameliorating viral pneumonia. Its rationale, however, relies on early human case series or animal studies mostly obtained in the pre-antibiotic era, where rigorous ...

FLANNEL: Focal Loss Based Neural Network Ensemble for COVID-19 Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 To test the possibility of differentiating chest x-ray images of COVID-19 against other pneumonia and healthy patients using deep neural networks. We construct the X-ray imaging data from two publicly available sources, which include 5508 chest x-ray images across 2874 patients with four classes: normal, bacterial pneumonia, non-COVID-19 viral ...
