Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 122-130, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...

Intelligent computational model for the classification of Covid-19 with chest radiography compared to other respiratory diseases [PDF]
, 2021 Lung X-ray images, if processed using statistical and computational methods, can distinguish pneumonia from COVID-19. The present work shows that it is possible to extract lung X-ray characteristics to improve the methods of examining and diagnosing patients with suspected COVID-19, distinguishing them from malaria, dengue, H1N1, tuberculosis, and ...
