Retrospective database analysis for clinical diagnoses commonly associated with pneumococcal diseases in the Malaysian healthcare system over a 3-year period (2013–2015)

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Pneumococcal disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of morbidity and mortality across all ages, particularly in younger children and older adults. Here, we describe pneumococcal disease hospitalizations at Ministry of

FPAENet: Pneumonia Detection Network Based on Feature Pyramid Attention Enhancement [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Automatic pneumonia Detection based on deep learning has increasing clinical value. Although the existing Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) and its variants have already achieved some great successes, their detection accuracies for pneumonia lesions in medical images are still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a pneumonia detection network based on

Seasonality and outbreak of a predominant Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 clone from The Gambia: expansion of ST217 hypervirulent clonal complex in West Africa. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 1 causes > 20% of invasive disease, among all age groups combined, in The Gambia. In contrast, it is rarely detected in carriage studies. This study compares the molecular epidemiology of S.

Burden of pneumococcal disease in children in Cuba before the introduction of a novel pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

Journal of Global Health Reports, 2019
# Background The Cuban heptavalent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine will be introduced for children beginning in 2020. We estimated the burden of pneumococcal cases and deaths in children 1-59 months in 2015.

Intrafamilial Transmission of Pneumococcal Acute Spontaneous Peritonitis

Infectious Disease Reports, 2023
Streptococcus pneumonia (S. pneumoniae, Pneumococcus) is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common presentations of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children include bacteremic pneumonia, meningitis, and ...

PneumoXttention: A CNN compensating for Human Fallibility when Detecting Pneumonia through CXR images with Attention [PDF]

, 2020
Automatic Chest Radiograph X-ray (CXR) interpretation by machines is an important research topic of Artificial Intelligence. As part of my journey through the California Science Fair, I have developed an algorithm that can detect pneumonia from a CXR image to compensate for human fallibility.

What Are the Infection Prevention Behaviors of Kidney Transplant Recipients and the Factors Related to These?

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The infection prevention behaviours of kidney transplant recipients have been investigated, but the factors affecting these have not. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the infection prevention behaviours of kidney transplant recipients and the factors related to these.

Hopf-bifurcation analysis of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, a mathematical model of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays is proposed. The stability theory of delay differential equations is used to analyze the model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable if the control reproduction ratio R0 is less than unity and unstable otherwise.

Occupationally Relevant Zinc‐ and Copper‐Containing Metal Fumes Inhibit Human THP‐1 Macrophage TNF and IL‐6 Responses to Bacterial Stimuli

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
Metal workers have an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to metal fume exposure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper oxide (CuO) particles are found to inhibit specific anti‐bacterial macrophage responses, which may substantially contribute to impaired lung immunity.
