Scoring pleurisy in slaughtered pigs using convolutional neural networks.

Veterinary research
Diseases of the respiratory system are known to negatively impact the profitability of the pig industry, worldwide. Considering the relatively short lifespan of pigs, lesions can be still evident at slaughter, where they can be usefully recorded and ...

Predicting post-stroke pneumonia using deep neural network approaches.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pneumonia is a common complication after stroke, causing an increased length of hospital stay and death. Therefore, the timely and accurate prediction of post-stroke pneumonia would be highly valuable in clinical practice. Pre...

Tackling the Radiological Society of North America Pneumonia Detection Challenge.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
We provide overviews of deep learning approaches used by two top-placing teams for the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Pneumonia Detection Challenge. Practical applications of deep learning techniques, as well as insights into the...

An Efficient Deep Learning Approach to Pneumonia Classification in Healthcare.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This study proposes a convolutional neural network model trained from scratch to classify and detect the presence of pneumonia from a collection of chest X-ray image samples. Unlike other methods that rely solely on transfer learning approaches or tr...

Automatic classification of pediatric pneumonia based on lung ultrasound pattern recognition.

PloS one
Pneumonia is one of the major causes of child mortality, yet with a timely diagnosis, it is usually curable with antibiotic therapy. In many developing regions, diagnosing pneumonia remains a challenge, due to shortages of medical resources. Lung ult...

Deep learning for chest radiograph diagnosis: A retrospective comparison of the CheXNeXt algorithm to practicing radiologists.

PLoS medicine
BACKGROUND: Chest radiograph interpretation is critical for the detection of thoracic diseases, including tuberculosis and lung cancer, which affect millions of people worldwide each year. This time-consuming task typically requires expert radiologis...

The comparison of pleural fluid TNF-α levels in tuberculous and nontuberculous pleural effusion.

The Indian journal of tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pleural effusion is the manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in pleura. With existing means, it is difficult to establish the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and non-TB pleural effusions; thus, establishing the...

Development and Validation of a Natural Language Processing Tool to Identify Patients Treated for Pneumonia across VA Emergency Departments.

Applied clinical informatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying pneumonia using diagnosis codes alone may be insufficient for research on clinical decision making. Natural language processing (NLP) may enable the inclusion of cases missed by diagnosis codes.
