An Incremental Learning Approach to Automatically Recognize Pulmonary Diseases from the Multi-vendor Chest Radiographs [PDF]
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 2021, 2022 Pulmonary diseases can cause severe respiratory problems, leading to sudden death if not treated timely. Many researchers have utilized deep learning systems to diagnose pulmonary disorders using chest X-rays (CXRs). However, such systems require exhaustive training efforts on large-scale data to effectively diagnose chest abnormalities.

Pulmonary Vessel Segmentation based on Orthogonal Fused U-Net++ of Chest CT Images [PDF]
, 2021 Pulmonary vessel segmentation is important for clinical diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, while is also challenging due to the complicated structure. In this work, we present an effective framework and refinement process of pulmonary vessel segmentation from chest computed tomographic (CT) images.

What Makes for Automatic Reconstruction of Pulmonary Segments [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 3D reconstruction of pulmonary segments plays an important role in surgical treatment planning of lung cancer, which facilitates preservation of pulmonary function and helps ensure low recurrence rates. However, automatic reconstruction of pulmonary segments remains unexplored in the era of deep learning.

Deep learning using Havrda-Charvat entropy for classification of pulmonary endomicroscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Pulmonary optical endomicroscopy (POE) is an imaging technology in real time. It allows to examine pulmonary alveoli at a microscopic level. Acquired in clinical settings, a POE image sequence can have as much as 25% of the sequence being uninformative frames (i.e. pure-noise and motion artefacts).

New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Q fever outbreak in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland
New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) is a widespread zoonosis with low endemicity in Switzerland, therefore no mandatory public report was required. A cluster of initially ten human cases of acute Q fever infections characterized by prolonged fever, asthenia and mild hepatitis occurred in 2012 in the terraced vineyard of Lavaux ...
