Insights into pneumococcal pneumonia using lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs collected from pneumonia patients in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2020
We investigated the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia using clinical specimens collected for pneumonia surveillance in The Gambia. Lung aspirates and nasopharyngeal swabs from 31 patients were examined by culture, qPCR, whole genome sequencing ...

Development and implementation of an aspiration pneumonia cause investigation algorithm

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 20-28, January 2023., 2023
Aspiration pneumonia remains an underdiagnosed and unestablished diagnosis. We propose the use of an algorithm (developed based on the JRS guidelines) to enable adequate management of older adults with pneumonia. When implemented in an acute setting, the algorithm enhanced the diagnosis of causative conditions, swallow screening, and preventative ...

The potential role of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in reducing acute respiratory inflammation in community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Background Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) reduces both invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and other pneumococcal infections worldwide. We investigated the impact of stepwise implementation of childhood PCV programs on the prevalence of ...

Break down the barriers of auto‐inflammation: How to deal with a monogenic auto‐inflammatory disease and immuno‐haematological features in 2022?

Immunology, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 1-17, January 2023., 2023
In the past few years, the spectrum of monogenic systemic auto‐inflammatory diseases has widely expanded beyond the typical recurrent fever. Immuno‐haematological features, as cytopenias, hypogammaglobulinemia, hypereosinophilia, lymphoproliferation and immunodeficiency, have been described in association of several MSAID.

Pneumococcal pneumonia in children less than 5 years: Are we underdiagnosing? [PDF]

Microbes and Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia in children. Diagnosis of Pneumococcal pneumonia by culture methods is difficult, if antibiotics were taken before culture. The objectives of this study were 1-to evaluate the

An Adaptive and Altruistic PSO-based Deep Feature Selection Method for Pneumonia Detection from Chest X-Rays [PDF]

Applied Soft Computing, 2022, 109464, ISSN 1568-4946, 2022
Pneumonia is one of the major reasons for child mortality especially in income-deprived regions of the world. Although it can be detected and treated with very less sophisticated instruments and medication, Pneumonia detection still remains a major concern in developing countries.

Prevalence of hepatitis B virus amongst refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons in low‐ and middle‐income countries: A systematic review

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 4-18, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Hepatitis B, caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), is a global public health issue that affects 290 million people worldwide. Most people with hepatitis B are in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMIC), where health systems and resources are often constrained.
