Mind the Gap: Federated Learning Broadens Domain Generalization in Diagnostic AI Models [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep 13, 22576 (2023), 2023
Developing robust artificial intelligence (AI) models that generalize well to unseen datasets is challenging and usually requires large and variable datasets, preferably from multiple institutions. In federated learning (FL), a model is trained collaboratively at numerous sites that hold local datasets without exchanging them.

Deep Learning-based Segmentation of Pleural Effusion From Ultrasound Using Coordinate Convolutions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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 ...

Superoxide dismutase 2 as a marker to differentiate tuberculous pleural effusions from malignant pleural effusions

open access: yesClinics, 2014
OBJECTIVES: Our previous study demonstrated that superoxide dismutase levels were higher in tuberculous pleural effusions than in malignant pleural effusions, but that this difference ...
