Estimating past inhalation exposure to asbestos: a tool for risk attribution and disease screening [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction: Late presentation is common in mesothelioma. Reliable assessment of past exposure to asbestos is a necessary first step for risk attribution and for the development of a future screening programme. Such a programme could maximise access

Deep LF-Net: Semantic Lung Segmentation from Indian Chest Radiographs Including Severely Unhealthy Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A chest radiograph, commonly called chest x-ray (CxR), plays a vital role in the diagnosis of various lung diseases, such as lung cancer, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and many more. Automated segmentation of the lungs is an important step to design a computer-aided diagnostic tool for examination of a CxR.

Deep Learning-based Segmentation of Pleural Effusion From Ultrasound Using Coordinate Convolutions [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In many low-to-middle income (LMIC) countries, ultrasound is used for assessment of pleural effusion. Typically, the extent of the effusion is manually measured by a sonographer, leading to significant intra-/inter-observer variability. In this work, we investigate the use of deep learning (DL) to automate the process of pleural effusion segmentation ...

Lower mortality rate in elderly patients with community-onset pneumonia on treatment with aspirin [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is complicated by high rate of mortality and cardiovascular events (CVEs). The potential benefit of aspirin, which lowers platelet aggregation by inhibition of thromboxane A2 production, is still unclear. The aim of the study was to
