Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia induced by low-dose methotrexate in a patient with chronic urticaria [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2017 Methotrexate has immunosuppressive effects and is administered for refractory chronic urticaria. We present a case of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in a patient with refractory chronic urticaria managed by low-dose weekly methotrexate treatment (total

Ovine Progressive Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Seroprevalence in the South of Sonora, Mexico
Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, 2021 Ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP) is the most severe presentation of small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infection known as Maedi-Visna. Serological evidence in Mexico of the presence of this lentivirus was published in 1986.

COVID-19 in CXR: from Detection and Severity Scoring to Patient Disease Monitoring [PDF]
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform. 2021 Mar 26;PP, 2020 In this work, we estimate the severity of pneumonia in COVID-19 patients and conduct a longitudinal study of disease progression. To achieve this goal, we developed a deep learning model for simultaneous detection and segmentation of pneumonia in chest Xray (CXR) images and generalized to COVID-19 pneumonia. The segmentations were utilized to calculate

Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Pneumonia Detection using Chest X-ray [PDF]
Appl. Sci. 2020, 10(9), 3233, 2020 Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease, which occurs in the lungs caused by either bacterial or viral infection. It can be life-endangering if not acted upon in the right time and thus an early diagnosis of pneumonia is vital. The aim of this paper is to automatically detect bacterial and viral pneumonia using digital x-ray images.

Vaccination delays maedi-visna lentivirus infection in a naturally-infected sheep flock
BMC Veterinary Research, 2013 Background The Maedi-Visna (MV) lentivirus causes two slowly progressive eventually fatal diseases of sheep, Maedi, a progressive interstitial pneumonia, and Visna, a progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.

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.

Collision-Free Shepherding Control of a Single Target within a Swarm [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The shepherding problem refers to guiding a group of agents (called sheep) to a specific destination using an external agent with repulsive forces (called shepherd). Although various movement algorithms for the shepherd have been explored in the literature, there is a scarcity of methodologies for selective guidance, which is a key technology for ...

An ensemble-based approach by fine-tuning the deep transfer learning models to classify pneumonia from chest X-ray images [PDF]
SciTePress 2021, 2020 Pneumonia is caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi that infect the lungs, which, if not diagnosed, can be fatal and lead to respiratory failure. More than 250,000 individuals in the United States, mainly adults, are diagnosed with pneumonia each year, and 50,000 die from the disease.
