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

A Mathematical Model of Treatment and Vaccination Interventions of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Infection Dynamics

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2018
Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the leading causes of serious morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in young children and the elderly. In this study, a model of the spread and control of bacterial pneumonia under public health interventions ...

Adults aged 65 years and older in South Africa have a responsibility to vaccinate against influenza

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we draw on the thinking about incompleteness and conviviality grounded in Afro‐communitarianism ethics from the Global South to argue that adults aged 65 years and above have a prima facie responsibility to vaccinate against influenza.

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.

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.

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.

Incidence and case fatality rates of community-acquired pneumonia and pneumococcal diseases among Korean adults: Catchment population-based analysis

PLoS ONE, 2018
Background Pneumonia is a leading infectious cause of morbidity and mortality among adults. Pneumococcal pneumonia (PP) is the most common vaccine-preventable bacterial etiology of pneumonia.
