G-formula for causal inference via multiple imputation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 G-formula is a popular approach for estimating treatment or exposure effects from longitudinal data that are subject to time-varying confounding. G-formula estimation is typically performed by Monte-Carlo simulation, with non-parametric bootstrapping used for inference.

Quantification of Lung Abnormalities in Cystic Fibrosis using Deep Networks [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 10574, Medical Imaging 2018: Image Processing, 105741G
(2 March 2018), 2018 Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease which may appear in early life with structural abnormalities in lung tissues. We propose to detect these abnormalities using a texture classification approach. Our method is a cascade of two convolutional neural networks. The first network detects the presence of abnormal tissues.

ERJ Open Research, 2022 Background Increasing awareness of milder presentations of cystic fibrosis (CF) and greater interest in non-CF bronchiectasis are likely to lead to more CF screening by respiratory clinicians. As a result, adults who may not strictly fulfil CF diagnostic

VX‐445–Tezacaftor–Ivacaftor in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis and One or Two Phe508del Alleles
New England Journal of Medicine, 2018 BACKGROUND VX‐445 is a next‐generation cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector designed to restore Phe508del CFTR protein function in patients with cystic fibrosis when administered with tezacaftor and ivacaftor (VX‐445 ...

Does cystic fibrosis constitute an advantage in COVID-19 infection?
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2020 The Veneto region is one of the most affected Italian regions by COVID-19. Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), may constitute a risk factor in COVID-19. Moreover, respiratory viruses were generally associated with

Cystic Fibrosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa: the Host-Microbe Interface
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2019 In human pathophysiology, the clash between microbial infection and host immunity contributes to multiple diseases. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a classical example of this phenomenon, wherein a dysfunctional, hyperinflammatory immune response combined with ...

Understanding Biofilm-Phage Interactions in Cystic Fibrosis Patients Using Mathematical Frameworks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 When planktonic bacteria adhere together to a surface, they begin to form biofilms, or communities of bacteria. Biofilm formation in a host can be extremely problematic if left untreated, especially since antibiotics can be ineffective in treating the bacteria.
