BACKGROUND: Childhood infectious diseases and related symptoms, such as fever, cough, and diarrhea among children constitute the leading cause of death in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We examined the environmental predictors of double and...
COVID-19 is a extremely contagious disease triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus which mostly affects the human breathing system. Furthermore, the COVID-19 was emerged in late 2019 and escalated rapidly into a global pandemic which impacted health and ec...
Analysing cough sounds is vital in pulmonary medicine. Recently, AI tools are being trained to analyse the acoustic signals of cough sounds so that more cases can be quickly tested, thereby reducing the patient load on primary healthcare systems. In ...
Cough is a common symptom of respiratory disease, and its detection is a basic step in cough sound analysis. Manual cough sound segmentation is tedious, subjective, and inefficient. Cough sounds from real-world scenarios can be collected in various e...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review aims to explore an effective and scalable approach for early asthma detection using cough sounds. The main objective is to evaluate whether a multi-model deep learning fusion framework can improve diagnostic accuracy an...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressively worsening respiratory condition, severely impacts patient quality of life. Early risk assessment can improve treatment outcomes and lessen healthcare burdens. How...
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for robust and adaptable diagnostic tools capable of detecting the disease from diverse and continuously evolving data sources. Machine learning models, particularly convolutional neural netw...

Epidemiological research examining the relationship between urinary cadmium and the risk of chronic cough remains scarce. This study included 2965 participants for a cross-sectional study from the NHANES. The weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, b...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine injection on the half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil in preventing cough due to tracheal extubation in female patients undergoing thyroid surgery by Dixon's sequential...
Since the COVID-19, cough sounds have been widely used for screening purposes. Intelligent analysis techniques have proven to be effective in detecting respiratory diseases. In 2021, there were up to 10 million TB-infected patients worldwide, with an...
