A machine learning-based framework for Predicting Treatment Failure in tuberculosis: A case study of six countries.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Tuberculosis is ranked as the 2nd deadliest disease in the world and is responsible for ten million deaths in 2017. Treatment failure is one of a main reason behind these deaths. Reasons of treatment failure are still unknown and the death rate due t...

Antitubercular metabolites from the marine-derived fungus strain MF029.

Natural product research
During the systematic screening of bioactive compounds from our marine natural product library, crude extract of the marine-derived fungus strain MF029 exhibited moderate bioactivities against , S, methicillin-resistant , and bacillus Calmette-Guér...

Automatic diagnostics of tuberculosis using convolutional neural networks analysis of MODS digital images.

PloS one
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that causes ill health and death in millions of people each year worldwide. Timely diagnosis and treatment is key to full patient recovery. The Microscopic Observed Drug Susceptibility (MODS) is a test to diagnos...

Rapid microarray-based assay for detection of pyrazinamide resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Diagnostic microbiology and infectious disease
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a key antibiotic for the treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis. PZA-resistance is mainly mediated by mutations in the pncA gene; however the current gold standard is a phenotypic drug susceptibility test requiring a well-ad...

Ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy in renal disorder: a clinico-electrophysiological study.

Canadian journal of ophthalmology. Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie
OBJECTIVE: To report the spectrum of ethambutol induced optic neuropathy in a group of renal patients with tuberculosis and the role of visual evoked response (VER) in evaluating this disorder.

Predicting treatment outcome of drug-susceptible tuberculosis patients using machine-learning models.

Informatics for health & social care
Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly contagious disease and a serious global health problem. It is curable but due to its lengthy treatment process, a patient is likely to leave the treatment incomplete, leading to a more lethal, drug resistant form of dise...
