PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a deep learning framework (3D-ResNet) based on CT images to distinguish nontuberculous mycobacterium lung disease (NTM-LD) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis lung disease (MTB-LD).
Fast and reliable detection of patients with severe and heterogeneous illnesses is a major goal of precision medicine. Patients with leukaemia can be identified using machine learning on the basis of their blood transcriptomes. However, there is an i...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning sustains successful application to many diagnostic and prognostic problems in computational histopathology. Yet, few efforts have been made to model gene expression from histopathology. This study proposes a methodology w...
OBJECTIVES: Cervical lymph nodes with internal cystic changes are seen with several pathologies, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), tuberculosis (TB), and HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+OPSCC). Differentiating these...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Diagnosis of Pulmonary Rifampicin Resistant Tuberculosis (RR-TB) with the Drug-Susceptibility Test (DST) is costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, GeneXpert for rapid diagnosis is not widely available in Indonesia. This st...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of death worldwide. TB research draws heavily on clinical cohorts which can be generated using electronic health records (EHR), but granular information extracted from unstructured EHR data is limited. T...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the major health problems in modern times with a high mortality rate. While efforts are being made to make early diagnosis accessible and more reliable in high burden TB countries, digital chest radiography has become...
BACKGROUND: Identifying which individuals will develop tuberculosis (TB) remains an unresolved problem due to few animal models and computational approaches that effectively address its heterogeneity. To meet these shortcomings, we show that Diversit...
Rifampicin resistance is a major therapeutic challenge, particularly in tuberculosis, leprosy, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus infections, where it develops via missense mutations in gene rpoB. Previously we have highlighted that these mutations reduce p...
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 ...
