Hierarchical SegNet with Channel and Context Attention for Accurate Lung Segmentation in Chest X-ray Images [PDF]

arXiv
Lung segmentation in chest X-ray images is a critical task in medical image analysis, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment of various lung diseases. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for lung segmentation by integrating Hierarchical SegNet with a proposed multi-modal attention mechanism. The channel attention mechanism highlights specific

Pre-existing invasive fungal infection is not a contraindication for allogeneic HSCT for patients with hematologic malignancies: a CIBMTR study. [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with prior invasive fungal infection (IFI) increasingly proceed to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HSCT). However, little is known about the impact of prior IFI on survival.

Manipulation of Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling by Synthetic Frizzled Agonist and LRP Antagonist in Organoid Cultures and In Vivo

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Harnessing synthetic key receptor modulators, this study presents a breakthrough in Wnt/β‐catenin regulation. The FZD agonist RRP‐pbFn bypasses LRP5/6 to drive organoid expansion and tissue regeneration, while the LRP antagonist RRP‐Dkk1c eradicates tumors. These tools enable precise pathway control, advancing regenerative and cancer therapies.

An intricate pulmonary infection in a patient with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
Non-albicans Candida (NAC) is rarely isolated from specimens. Here, we report a case of pulmonary infiltrates strongly suspected for Candida guilliermondii infection in a patient affected by T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) resistant to ...

Granulomatous mural folliculitis and cytotoxic interface dermatitis in a pygmy goat associated with ovine herpesvirus‐2 and systemic lesions of malignant catarrhal fever

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 1‐year‐old pygmy goat presented with progressive alopecia, skin ulceration and lichenification over the neck, face and body. Empirical treatment for parasitic and fungal causes of skin disease did not produce clinical improvement, prompting a full diagnostic investigation.

Implications of Tobacco Use on Pathogen‐Driven Diseases: A Public Health and Policy Perspective

World Medical &Health Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The tobacco epidemic remains one of the most significant global public health challenges, responsible for over 8 million deaths annually, with a substantial portion occurring among non‐smokers exposed to second‐hand smoke. While cigarette smoking remains the most prevalent form of tobacco use worldwide, the rise of electronic nicotine delivery

Gut Mycobiota of Three Rhinopithecus Species Provide New Insights Into the Association Between Diet and Environment

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.
