Use of mathematical modelling to assess respiratory syncytial virus epidemiology and interventions: A literature review [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection worldwide, resulting in approximately sixty thousand annual hospitalizations of <5-year-olds in the United States alone and three million annual hospitalizations globally. The development of over 40 vaccines and immunoprophylactic interventions targeting RSV

The Diagnostic Value of Metagenomic Next–Generation Sequencing in Lower Respiratory Tract Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Lower respiratory tract infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality and significant clinical harm. Due to the limited ability of traditional pathogen detection methods, anti-infective therapy is mostly empirical.

Deep Neural Network Based Respiratory Pathology Classification Using Cough Sounds [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Intelligent systems are transforming the world, as well as our healthcare system. We propose a deep learning-based cough sound classification model that can distinguish between children with healthy versus pathological coughs such as asthma, upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), and lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). In order to train a deep

Risk assessment for airborne disease transmission by poly-pathogen aerosols [PDF]

, 2020
In the case of airborne diseases, pathogen copies are transmitted by droplets of respiratory tract fluid that are exhaled by the infectious and, after partial or full drying, inhaled as aerosols by the susceptible. The risk of infection in indoor environments is typically modelled using the Wells-Riley model or a Wells-Riley-like formulation, usually ...

Epidemiology of lower respiratory tract infections in adults

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the leading infectious disease cause of death in the world and the fifth overall cause of death. From an epidemiological point of view, most consider pneumonia, influenza, bronchitis (including

Transforming Bacterial Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Diagnosis: A Study on the Efficiency of the FilmArray Pneumonia Panel

Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) significantly contribute to global morbidity and mortality. Conventional bacterial LRTIs diagnosis relies on microbiological methods, which are time-consuming. The Biofire® FilmArray® Pneumonia Panel

Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Associated with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection among Patients Attending General Hospital Katsina

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research, 2017
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) have been one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Routine diagnosis of LRTIs in our hospitals does not include adequate and extensive identification of these organisms.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

, 2012
Lower respiratory tract infections are common and are important in the critical care setting either because they precipitate admission to the critical care unit, e.g. severe viral pneumonia or because they complicate the course of a patient with significant underlying disease or following major surgery, e.g. after multiple trauma.

Association between perinatal depression in mothers and the risk of childhood infections in offspring: a population-based cohort study [PDF]

, 2010
Background Previous studies have suggested that children of mothers who experience depression during the perinatal period may have more infections, but such studies are few in number and none have been carried out in the United Kingdom (UK) population ...
