A Proactive Agent Collaborative Framework for Zero‐Shot Multimodal Medical Reasoning
This work proposes a multimodal medical collaborative reasoning framework, which imitates clinician's working patterns of comparative analysis. The framework includes a cohort of domain‐expert models, and an large language model learner agent to generate inquiries and interact with these experts to gather the essential information, and integrate the ...

Pleural clinic: where thoracic ultrasound meets respiratory medicine
Thoracic ultrasound (TUS) has become an essential procedure in respiratory medicine. Due to its intrinsic safety and versatility, it has been applied in patients affected by several respiratory diseases both in intensive care and outpatient settings. TUS

Weakly-Supervised Segmentation for Disease Localization in Chest X-Ray Images [PDF]
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks have proven effective in solving the task of semantic segmentation. However, their efficiency heavily relies on the pixel-level annotations that are expensive to get and often require domain expertise, especially in medical imaging.

Rapid quantification of COVID-19 pneumonia burden from computed tomography with convolutional LSTM networks [PDF]
Quantitative lung measures derived from computed tomography (CT) have been demonstrated to improve prognostication in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients, but are not part of the clinical routine since required manual segmentation of lung lesions is prohibitively time-consuming.

Survival prediction in mesothelioma using a scalable lasso regression model: instructions for use and initial performance using clinical predictors [PDF]
Introduction: Accurate prognostication is difficult in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We developed a set of robust computational models to quantify the prognostic value of routinely available clinical data, which form the basis of published MPM ...

The radiomics feature could save the storage space of all medical samples; on the other hand, it avoids data leakage. Graph convolutional neural networks could summarize the similarity of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules to improve the performance in distinguishing them with radiomics and common clinical features.

An approach to study recruitment/derecruitment dynamics in a patient-specific computational model of an injured human lung [PDF]
We present a new approach for physics-based computational modeling of diseased human lungs. Our main object is the development of a model that takes the novel step of incorporating the dynamics of airway recruitment/de-recruitment into an anatomically accurate, spatially resolved model of respiratory system mechanics, and the relation of these dynamics

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Development of pericardial fat count images using a combination of three different deep-learning models [PDF]
Rationale and Objectives: Pericardial fat (PF), the thoracic visceral fat surrounding the heart, promotes the development of coronary artery disease by inducing inflammation of the coronary arteries. For evaluating PF, this study aimed to generate pericardial fat count images (PFCIs) from chest radiographs (CXRs) using a dedicated deep-learning model.
