BACKGROUND: Asthma COPD overlap (ACO) is a consensus-based phenotype having characteristics of both COPD and asthma. Distinguishing ACO from other diseases is even more important as it is related to low health-related quality of life, augmented exace...
Of all bacterial infectious diseases, infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis poses one of the highest morbidity and mortality burdens on humans throughout the world. Due to its speed and cost-efficiency, manual microscopy of auramine-stained sputum ...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based radiological image analysis could facilitate use of chest x-rays as triage tests for pulmonary tuberculosis in resource-limited settings. We sought to determine whether commercially available chest x-ray analysis softw...
A rapid, on-site, and accurate SARS-CoV-2 detection method is crucial for the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. However, such an ideal screening technology has not yet been developed for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we have devel...
Despite advancements in detection and treatment, tuberculosis (TB), an infectious illness caused by the Mycobacterium TB bacteria, continues to pose a serious threat to world health. The TB diagnosis phase includes a patient's medical history, physic...
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to validate Metasystems' automated acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy scanning and deep-learning-based image analysis module (Neon Metafer) with assistance on respiratory and pleural samples, compared to conventiona...
Predicting outcomes in pulmonary tuberculosis is challenging despite effective treatments. This study aimed to identify factors influencing treatment success and culture conversion, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI)-based chest X-ray analysis ...

Deep learning is a transformative force in the medical field and it has made significant progress as a pivotal alternative to conventional manual testing methods. Detection of Tubercle Bacilli in sputum samples is faced with the problems of complex b...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in rural areas of high-burden countries like China. Active case finding (ACF) and timely treatment have been proven effective in reducing TB prevalence, but the...
Tuberculosis is a high-mortality infectious disease. Manual sputum smear microscopy is a common and effective method for screening tuberculosis. However, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has low sensitivity. In this study, we propose ResGlo...
