BronchusNet: Region and Structure Prior Embedded Representation Learning for Bronchus Segmentation and Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 CT-based bronchial tree analysis plays an important role in the computer-aided diagnosis for respiratory diseases, as it could provide structured information for clinicians. The basis of airway analysis is bronchial tree reconstruction, which consists of bronchus segmentation and classification.

Characteristic of Individual Indicators of Endogenous Intoxication in the Experimental Asthma Dynamics and Their Correction by Thiotriasolin [PDF]
, 2016 The aim of this work was to find out the specifics of changes in endogenous intoxication, middle mass molecules (MMM) and erythrocyte intoxication index (EII) in the blood of animals for experimental asthma in different periods of its development and to ...

A comprehensive analysis of the effect of ventilation and climatic conditions on covid-19 transmission through respiratory droplet transport via both airborne and fomite mode inside an elevator [PDF]
, 2022 The risks of disease transmission due to these droplets are significantly high in confined public spaces like elevators. A numerical analysis using OpenFOAM has been performed in this work to investigate the droplet dispersion routes in an enclosed environment resembling an elevator.

Wall shear stress distribution in a compliant airway tree [PDF]
, 2020 The airflow in the bronchi applies a shear stress on the bronchial mucus, which can move the mucus. The air--mucus interaction plays an important role in cough and in chest physiotherapy (CP). The conditions under which it induces a displacement of the mucus are still unclear. Yet, the air--mucus interaction justifies common technics of CP used to help

Oxidative Stress and Bronchial Asthma in Children—Causes or Consequences?
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2017 Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways. In the pathogenesis of this disease, the interplay among the genes, intrinsic, and extrinsic factors are crucial.

Quantifying and Visualizing Vascular Branching Geometry with Micro-CT: Normalization of Intra- and Inter-Specimen Variations [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Micro-CT images of the renal arteries of intact rat kidneys, which had their vasculature injected with the contrast agent polymer Microfil, were characterized. Measurement of inter-branch segment properties and the hierarchical structure of the vessel trees were computed by an automated algorithmic approach.

Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy Video Analysis for Lesion Frame Detection [PDF]
, 2023 Because of the significance of bronchial lesions as indicators of early lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma, a critical need exists for early detection of bronchial lesions. Autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) is a primary modality used for bronchial lesion detection, as it shows high sensitivity to suspicious lesions.
