Quantum Approaches for Dysphonia Assessment in Small Speech Datasets [PDF]

arXiv
Dysphonia, a prevalent medical condition, leads to voice loss, hoarseness, or speech interruptions. To assess it, researchers have been investigating various machine learning techniques alongside traditional medical assessments. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have gained popularity for their success in audio classification and speech recognition.

Systemic EP4 receptor agonist and Arginase‐1 therapy in a murine model of chronic asthma and influenza virus‐induced asthma exacerbation

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play important roles in the pathogenesis of asthma. Recent studies demonstrate that their function can be modulated by different pharmacological approaches. In this study, we focussed on the effects of systemically administered prostaglandin EP4 receptor agonist L‐902,688 and pegylated ...
