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,

A persistent variant telomere sequence in a human pedigree
Nature CommunicationsThe telomere sequence, TTAGGG, is conserved across all vertebrates and plays an essential role in suppressing the DNA damage response by binding a set of proteins termed shelterin. Changes in the telomere sequence impair shelterin binding, initiate a DNA

Inception-Based Network and Multi-Spectrogram Ensemble Applied For Predicting Respiratory Anomalies and Lung Diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper presents an inception-based deep neural network for detecting lung diseases using respiratory sound input. Recordings of respiratory sound collected from patients are firstly transformed into spectrograms where both spectral and temporal information are well presented, referred to as front-end feature extraction.

Multimedia Respiratory Database (RespiratoryDatabase@TR): Auscultation Sounds and Chest X-rays [PDF]
Natural and Engineering Sciences, 2017, 2021 Auscultation is a method for diagnosis of especially internal medicine diseases such as cardiac, pulmonary and cardio-pulmonary by listening the internal sounds from the body parts. It is the simplest and the most common physical examination in the assessment processes of the clinical skills.
