BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Microbiological culture is a standard diagnostic test that takes a long time to identify lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study entailed the develo...
Significant efforts were currently being made worldwide to develop a tool capable of distinguishing between various harmful viruses through simple analysis. In this study, we utilized fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy as a ra...
Many studies have shown that infectious diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths in children under five. Among these children, Acute Respiratory Infections is the most prevalent illness and cause of death worldwide. Acute respiratory infec...
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent a significant global health burden, contributing to high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in vulnerable populations. Traditional methods for diagnosing and tracking ARIs often face limitations ...
At present, the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) is difficult, and there is an urgent need for better diagnostic methods. This study enrolled 136 patients from 2020 to 2021 and collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) spec...

This study uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) to examine the intricate relationship between air pollutants, meteorological factors, and respiratory disorders. The study investigates the correlation between hospital admissions for respiratory dise...
Symptoms of Acute Respiratory infections (ARIs) among under-five children are a global health challenge. We aimed to train and evaluate ten machine learning (ML) classification approaches in predicting symptoms of ARIs reported by mothers among child...
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 globally. Maternal healthcare-seeking behavior may help minimize mortality associated with ARIs since they make decisions about the kind and...
