Safety of sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim for the treatment of bacterial infection in outpatient settings: A systematic review and meta‐analysis with active comparator disproportionality analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (SMX‐TMP) is a widely used antibiotic for treating bacterial infections, but its safety in adult outpatients remains understudied. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the safety profile of SMX‐TMP and identified critical research gaps.

Deep Pneumonia: Attention-Based Contrastive Learning for Class-Imbalanced Pneumonia Lesion Recognition in Chest X-rays [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Computer-aided X-ray pneumonia lesion recognition is important for accurate diagnosis of pneumonia. With the emergence of deep learning, the identification accuracy of pneumonia has been greatly improved, but there are still some challenges due to the fuzzy appearance of chest X-rays.

Deep Learning for Automatic Pneumonia Detection [PDF]

2020 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPRW), Seattle, WA, USA, 2020, pp. 1436-1443, 2020
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among young children and one of the top mortality causes worldwide. The pneumonia detection is usually performed through examine of chest X-ray radiograph by highly-trained specialists. This process is tedious and often leads to a disagreement between radiologists.
