Infectious particle identity determines dissemination and disease outcome for the inhaled human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
The majority of invasive human fungal pathogens gain access to their human hosts via the inhalation of spores from the environment into the lung, but relatively little is known about this infectious process. Among human fungal pathogens the most frequent

Lung ultrasound surface wave elastography for assessing instititial lung disease [PDF]

, 2018
Lung ultrasound surface wave elastography (LUSWE) is a novel noninvasive technique for measuring superficial lung tissue stiffness.The purpose of this study was to translate LUSWE for assessing patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and various connective diseases including systemic sclerosis (SSc).In this study, LUSWE was used to measure the ...

Development of a Multi-Task Learning V-Net for Pulmonary Lobar Segmentation on Computed Tomography and Application to Diseased Lungs [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Automated lobar segmentation allows regional evaluation of lung disease and is important for diagnosis and therapy planning. Advanced statistical workflows permitting such evaluation is a needed area within respiratory medicine; their adoption remains slow, with poor workflow accuracy. Diseased lung regions often produce high-density zones on CT images,

Alzheimer's Association clinical practice guideline for the Diagnostic Evaluation, Testing, Counseling, and Disclosure of Suspected Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (DETeCD‐ADRD): Executive summary of recommendations for primary care

Alzheimer's &Dementia, EarlyView.
Abstract US clinical practice guidelines for the diagnostic evaluation of cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or AD and related dementias (ADRD) are decades old and aimed at specialists. This evidence‐based guideline was developed to empower all—including primary care—clinicians to implement a structured approach for evaluating a ...

Partially-Latent Class Models (pLCM) for Case-Control Studies of Childhood Pneumonia Etiology [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
In population studies on the etiology of disease, one goal is the estimation of the fraction of cases attributable to each of several causes. For example, pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis of lung infection that may be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, or other pathogens.

Proposing a fungal metabolite-Flaviolin as a potential inhibitor of 3CLpro of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2 using docking and molecular dynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Here after performing docking and molecular dynamics of various small molecules derived as a secondary metabolite from fungi, we propose Flaviolin to act as potent inhibitor of 3-chymotrypsin (3C) like protease (3CLpro) of noval corona virus SARS-CoV2 responsible for pandemic condition caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

AI-Decision Support System Interface Using Cancer Related Data for Lung Cancer Prognosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Until the beginning of 2021, lung cancer is known to be the most common cancer in the world. The disease is common due to factors such as occupational exposure, smoking and environmental pollution. The early diagnosis and treatment of the disease is of great importance as well as the prevention of the causes that cause the disease.
