Adversarial Transformer for Repairing Human Airway Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Discontinuity in the delineation of peripheral bronchioles hinders the potential clinical application of automated airway segmentation models. Moreover, the deployment of such models is limited by the data heterogeneity across different centres, and pathological abnormalities also make achieving accurate robust segmentation in distal small airways ...

Mechanistic Insights and Pharmacological Approaches for Nitrogen and Sulfur Mustards and Their Implications as Therapeutic Agents

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen and sulfur mustards, often acting as vesicants, have significant consequences for public health. Skin is a common site for exposure to these vesicants that can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given that the treatment options are limited, new insights into the mechanisms for the toxicity of these vesicants that can be ...

Fuzzy Attention Neural Network to Tackle Discontinuity in Airway Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Airway segmentation is crucial for the examination, diagnosis, and prognosis of lung diseases, while its manual delineation is unduly burdensome. To alleviate this time-consuming and potentially subjective manual procedure, researchers have proposed methods to automatically segment airways from computerized tomography (CT) images.

Bronchiolitis Obliterans (BO): HRCT findings in 20 patients

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), also known as constrictive bronchiolitis is a fibrosing form of obstructive lung disease that follows a severe insult to the lower respiratory tract.

Long‐term outcome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for GATA2 deficiency: An analysis of 67 adults and children from France and Belgium

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The overall survival of patients receiving an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for GATA2 deficiency was significantly better if they were transplanted recently, with a bone marrow or cord blood graft and if the transplant was performed before the onset of excess blast. Excess blast before HSCT was the only factor associated with an

Detecting Respiratory Pathologies Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Variational Autoencoders for Unbalancing Data [PDF]

Sensors 2020, Volume 20 Issue 4, ID 1214
The aim of this paper was the detection of pathologies through respiratory sounds. The ICBHI (International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics) Benchmark was used. This dataset is composed of 920 sounds of which 810 are of chronic diseases, 75 of non-chronic diseases and only 35 of healthy individuals.
