An effective and accurate identification system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using convolution neural networks.
Microscopy research and technique
Feb 11, 2019
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality from infectious disease in developing countries. The sputum smear microscopy remains the primary diagnostic laboratory test. However, microscopic examination is always time-consum...
Classification of Sputum Sounds Using Artificial Neural Network and Wavelet Transform.
International journal of biological sciences
May 22, 2018
Sputum sounds are biological signals used to evaluate the condition of sputum deposition in a respiratory system. To improve the efficiency of intensive care unit (ICU) staff and achieve timely clearance of secretion in patients with mechanical venti...
Screening for active pulmonary tuberculosis: Development and applicability of artificial neural network models.
Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
May 19, 2018
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, motivated by the diversity of healthcare epidemiological settings, as other factors. Cost-effective screening has substantial importance for TB control, demanding new diagnostic tools. ...

Evaluation of a Urine-Based Rapid Molecular Diagnostic Test with Potential to Be Used at Point-of-Care for Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Cape Town Cohort.
The Journal of molecular diagnostics : JMD
Dec 18, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis among sputum-scarce patients is time consuming. Thus, a nonsputum diagnostic alternative is urgently needed. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific transrenal (Tr) DNA from urine is a potential target for TB diagnostics. ...

Tuberculous Pericarditis is Multibacillary and Bacterial Burden Drives High Mortality.
EBioMedicine
Sep 21, 2015
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pericarditis is considered to be a paucibacillary process; the large pericardial fluid accumulation is attributed to an inflammatory response to tuberculoproteins. Mortality rates are high. We investigated the role of clinical...
Factors contribute to efficiency of specimen concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by centrifugation and magnetic beads.
International journal of mycobacteriology
Jun 25, 2015
BACKGROUND: A concentration of specimen is recommended for the effective recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), but the bacteriological efficiency is not well evaluated. The present study evaluated the factors contributing to concentration eff...
Use of a convolutional neural network for direct detection of acid-fast bacilli from clinical specimens.
Microbiology spectrum
Aug 5, 2025
Mycobacteria, including (MTB) and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), are important causes of infectious disease and cause significant mortality and morbidity globally. Fast detection is extremely important to reduce transmission and mortality asso...
[Tongue swabs: a novel tool for tuberculosis screening].
Zhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases
Jul 12, 2025
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health threat. Achieving the 2035 target for TB elimination requires interrupting its community transmission, which depends critically on enhancing case detection. Active screening for TB in commu...
Sputum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin as a Biomarker in Asthma-COPD Overlap.
The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India
Sep 1, 2023
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...
Levofloxacin Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics, Dosing, Susceptibility Breakpoints, and Artificial Intelligence in the Treatment of Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis.
Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Nov 28, 2018
BACKGROUND: Levofloxacin is used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis; however the optimal dose is unknown.
