ABSTRACT Background and Aims Miliary pulmonary tuberculosis (MPTB) is rare in patients treated with In Vitro fertilization‐embryo transfer (IVF‐ET), and can be life‐threatening to pregnant women and fetuses. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of MPTB after IVF‐ET and pregnancy outcomes to provide reference for early diagnosis and ...

Using Capsule Neural Network to predict Tuberculosis in lens-free microscopic images [PDF]
Tuberculosis, caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. This work seeks to facilitate and automate the prediction of tuberculosis by the MODS method and using lens-free microscopy, which is easy to use by untrained personnel.

Estimation of underreporting in Brazilian tuberculosis data, 2012-2014 [PDF]
Analysis of burden of underregistration in tuberculosis data in Brazil, from 2012 to 2014. Approches of Oliveira et al. (2020) and Stoner et al. (2019) are applied. The main focus is to illustrated how the approach of Oliveira et al. (2020) can be applied when the clustering structure is not previously available.

ABSTRACT The presence of both MDR‐TB and COVID‐19 complicates diagnosis and treatment, as their symptoms can overlap, resulting in possible delays in receiving the appropriate care. This study aimed to investigate whether COVID‐19 plays a role in the initiation or progression of latent or current tuberculosis (TB) infection, especially MDR‐TB, through ...

Empowering Tuberculosis Screening with Explainable Self-Supervised Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
Tuberculosis persists as a global health crisis, especially in resource-limited populations and remote regions, with more than 10 million individuals newly infected annually. It stands as a stark symbol of inequity in public health. Tuberculosis impacts roughly a quarter of the global populace, with the majority of cases concentrated in eight countries,

Design of an Efficient, Ease-of-use and Affordable Artificial Intelligence based Nucleic Acid Amplification Diagnosis Technology for Tuberculosis and Multi-drug Resistant Tuberculosis [PDF]
Current technologies that facilitate diagnosis for simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its resistance to first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs (Isoniazid and Rifampicim) are designed for lab-based settings and are unaffordable for large scale testing implementations.

The diagnosis of organising pneumonia (OP) can be challenging due to its diverse clinical presentations. We report the diagnostic work‐up and treatment for a case of a middle‐aged male presenting with intermittent cough and haemoptysis, eventually diagnosed with OP.

Considerations for defining and diagnosing generalized pustular psoriasis
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare chronic skin disease with inconsistent definitions and diagnostic criteria. It is characterized by widespread pustules and erythema, which are often accompanied by other signs and symptoms. Cases of suspected GPP may benefit from laboratory testing to assess organ function as well as genetic and ...
