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.

Global Challenges, EarlyView.Metal workers have an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to metal fume exposure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) particles are found to inhibit specific anti‐bacterial macrophage responses, which may substantially contribute to impaired lung immunity.

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review
Global Challenges, EarlyView.Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Payment reforms in healthcare can have spillover effects on the care experienced by non‐targeted patients treated by the same provider. Few empirical studies have quantitatively investigated the mechanisms behind these effects. We formulate theory‐driven hypotheses to investigate the spillover mechanisms of a regional payment reform in the ...

A Robust CNN Framework with Dual Feedback Feature Accumulation for Detecting Pneumonia Opacity from Chest X-ray Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Pneumonia is one of the most acute respiratory diseases having remarkably high prevalence and mortality rate. Chest X-ray (CXR) has been widely utilized for the diagnosis of this disease owing to its availability, diagnostic speed and accuracy. However, even for an expert radiologist, it is quite challenging to readily determine pneumonia opacity by ...

Deep Learning on Chest X-ray Images to Detect and Evaluate Pneumonia Cases at the Era of COVID-19 [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease with first symptoms similar to the flu. COVID-19 appeared first in China and very quickly spreads to the rest of the world, causing then the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. In many cases, this disease causes pneumonia.
