Proposing a two-step Decision Support System (TPIS) based on Stacked ensemble classifier for early and low cost (step-1) and final (step-2) differential diagnosis of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis from non-tuberculosis Pneumonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease presenting similar symptoms to pneumonia; therefore, differentiating between TB and pneumonia is challenging. Therefore, the main aim of this study is proposing an automatic method for differential diagnosis of TB from Pneumonia.

A Deep Learning System That Generates Quantitative CT Reports for Diagnosing Pulmonary Tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2019 We developed a deep learning model-based system to automatically generate a quantitative Computed Tomography (CT) diagnostic report for Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) cases.501 CT imaging datasets from 223 patients with active PTB were collected, and another 501 cases from a healthy population served as negative samples.2884 lesions of PTB were carefully

Verification of an agent-based disease model of human mycobacterium tuberculosis infection [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Agent-Based Models are a powerful class of computational models widely used to simulate complex phenomena in many different application areas. However, one of the most critical aspects, poorly investigated in the literature, regards an important step of the model credibility assessment: solution verification.

Computer aided detection of tuberculosis on chest radiographs: An evaluation of the CAD4TB v6 system [PDF]
Scientific Reports 10, 5492 (2020), 2019 There is a growing interest in the automated analysis of chest X-Ray (CXR) as a sensitive and inexpensive means of screening susceptible populations for pulmonary tuberculosis. In this work we evaluate the latest version of CAD4TB, a commercial software platform designed for this purpose. Version 6 of CAD4TB was released in 2018 and is here tested on a

REST IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1906 I wish to make a plea addressed to the general practitioner for the routine employment of rest in the open air in all active or partially arrested cases of tuberculosis. In the vast majority of cases the general practitioner is the man who is called on to diagnose and to treat these patients, and as he has been lectured, criticized and cajoled into ...

Complications leading to hospitalization due to consumption of anti-TB drugs in patients with tuberculosis in Gorgan, Iran (2007-12) [PDF]
, 2015 Background and Objective: Anti tuberculosis drugs therapy is the most effective method for controling the tuberculosis (TB). Early detection and appropriate treatment can prevent the TB-drug resistance.

Tuberculosis diagnostics and biomarkers: needs, challenges, recent advances, and opportunities [PDF]
, 2012 Tuberculosis is unique among the major infectious diseases in that it lacks accurate rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests. Failure to control the spread of tuberculosis is largely due to our inability to detect and treat all infectious cases of pulmonary

Comparative Evaluation of Digital and Analog Chest Radiographs to Identify Tuberculosis using Deep Learning Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose:Chest X-ray (CXR) is an essential tool and one of the most prescribed imaging to detect pulmonary abnormalities, with a yearly estimate of over 2 billion imaging performed worldwide. However, the accurate and timely diagnosis of TB remains an unmet goal.
