Wheeze type classification using non-dyadic wavelet transform based optimal energy ratio technique.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Wheezes in pulmonary sounds are anomalies which are often associated with obstructive type of lung diseases. The previous works on wheeze-type classification focused mainly on using fixed time-frequency/scale resolution based on Fourier and wavelet transforms. The main contribution of the proposed method, in which the time-scale resolution can be tuned according to the si...

Characterization and classification of asthmatic wheeze sounds according to severity level using spectral integrated features.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate and classify wheeze sounds of asthmatic patients according to their severity level (mild, moderate and severe) using spectral integrated (SI) features.

Sociomarkers and biomarkers: predictive modeling in identifying pediatric asthma patients at risk of hospital revisits.

The importance of social components of health has been emphasized both in epidemiology and public health. This paper highlights the significant impact...

Fully automated diagnostic system with artificial intelligence using endocytoscopy to identify the presence of histologic inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis (with video).
