Improving Computed Tomography (CT) Reconstruction via 3D Shape Induction [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Chest computed tomography (CT) imaging adds valuable insight in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary infectious diseases, like tuberculosis (TB). However, due to the cost and resource limitations, only X-ray images may be available for initial diagnosis or follow up comparison imaging during treatment. Due to their projective nature, X-rays images

Development and validation of BCG vaccine‐induced novel granulomatous liver injury preclinical animal model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The study successfully developed and validated a granulomatous liver injury model using a high‐dose BCG vaccine, simulating hepatic tuberculosis and autoimmune granulomatous liver diseases. Pharmacokinetic analysis examined the metabolic behavior of first‐line antitubercular drugs (isoniazid and rifampicin) and their main metabolites under conditions ...

Progress in research on osteoporosis secondary to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review explores the potential mechanisms, complications, risk factors, and future research directions related to osteoporosis secondary to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Key mechanisms include an imbalance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity driven by direct viral effects on bone, inflammation, hypoxia, dysregulation of noncoding RNAs, and metabolic

Clinical diagnostic value of simultaneous amplification and testing for the diagnosis of sputum-scarce pulmonary tuberculosis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Since 20% of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients are asymptomatic, the early detection of PTB is a challenge particularly in sputum-scarce patients and diagnostic accuracy based solely on clinical characteristics and chest X-ray/CT scans are

GAN-based disentanglement learning for chest X-ray rib suppression [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Clinical evidence has shown that rib-suppressed chest X-rays (CXRs) can improve the reliability of pulmonary disease diagnosis. However, previous approaches on generating rib-suppressed CXR face challenges in preserving details and eliminating rib residues.
