Machine learning-enhanced HRCT analysis for diagnosis and severity assessment in pediatric asthma.

Pediatric pulmonology
OBJECTIVES: Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is conditionally recommended to rule out conditions that mimic or coexist with severe asthma in children. However, it may provide valuable insights into identifying structural airway change...

Deciphering the microbial landscape of lower respiratory tract infections: insights from metagenomics and machine learning.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: Lower respiratory tract infections represent prevalent ailments. Nonetheless, current comprehension of the microbial ecosystems within the lower respiratory tract remains incomplete and necessitates further comprehensive assessment. Lever...

Artificial Intelligence-based CT Assessment of Bronchiectasis: The COPDGene Study.

Radiology
Background CT is the standard method used to assess bronchiectasis. A higher airway-to-artery diameter ratio (AAR) is typically used to identify enlarged bronchi and bronchiectasis; however, current imaging methods are limited in assessing the extent...

Machine Learning-Based Differentiation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Lung Disease and Pulmonary Tuberculosis Using CT Images.

BioMed research international
An increasing number of patients infected with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are observed worldwide. However, it is challenging to identify NTM lung diseases from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) due to considerable overlap in classic manifestations ...

Surgery for predominant lesion in nonlocalized bronchiectasis.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Patients with nonlocalized bronchiectasis are encountered commonly; however, there is little information regarding surgical intervention in this patient population. The aim of this study was to evaluate symptomatic response and safety of a...

Unsupervised learning technique identifies bronchiectasis phenotypes with distinct clinical characteristics.

The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease
BACKGROUND: Unsupervised learning technique allows researchers to identify different phenotypes of diseases with complex manifestations.
