Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAuto Weight Dilated Convolutional Ensemble Network for the Severity Analysis of Lung Cancer in CT ImagesL. Sandhya, K. MarimuthuLung cancer is one of the world's leading causes of morbidity and mortality; improving patient outcomes requires an early and precise diagnosis. Lesion and tumor segmentation remains a challenging task in CT images due to their inherent imaging limitations, such as the small size of nodules, heterogeneous textures, blurry boundaries, and adjacent structures, leading to misclassification and difficulty in delineating … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2026 · 1,541 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractNon-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia Overlapping Tuberculosis: A Diagnostic Challenge in ElderlyPradeep Chakaravarthy, Divanshee Sharma, Manjunath Totaganti et al.Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP) is linked to numerous etiologies, including connective tissue diseases, certain drugs, HIV and idiopathic causes. We present a case of an 82-year-old woman with subacute onset shortness of breath as the presenting feature of Non-specific interstitial pneumonia. Chest imaging demonstrated bilateral infiltrates and tentatively diagnosed as NSIP and started on Tyrosine kinase inhibitor - Nintedanib. But … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2022 · 6,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMycobacterium Chimaera. A Lethal Enemy of Cardiac SurgeryAnna Llorens Ferrer, Elisabet Berastegui Garcia, Lourdes Mateu Pruñosa, Christian Muñoz GuijosaMycobacterium chimaera (M. chimaera) can cause disseminated infection and Infective Endocarditis (IE) in patients with previous cardiac surgery. M. chimaera is acquired during cardiopulmonary bypass via bioaerosols emitted from contaminated heater-cooler units water systems. M. chimaera infections can cause pneumonia, especially in patients with underlying chronic pulmonary diseases like cystic fibrosis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), cardiovascular manifestations and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2021 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptomatic COVID-19 Patients: Experience and Lessons from a Developing CountrySylvie Kolani, Houda Alami, El Harch ibtissam et al.The world is facing a pandemic due to the SARS-Coronavirus 2, since late 2019. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the disease course. Key amongst its talking point is the case of asymptomatic patients. This potentially jeopardizes infection control strategy as asymptomatic cases are difficult to identify and hence difficult to isolate. Our study intends to define the clinical and radiological … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 22 May 2021 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSARS-CoV-2-Induced Damage on the Cardiovascular System: Molecular MechanismsMel·lina Pinsach-Abuin, Ramon Brugada TerradellasSince its emergence in late December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) - the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) - has spread rapidly world-wide, becoming a global pandemic in March 2020 that is still active. In addition to the severe pulmonary damage, clinical studies have reported that COVID-19 is associated with the development of cardiovascular … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2021 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite

Is a Six-Week Course of Combination Antibiotic Therapy Enough?Rabindra Ghimire, Dora Lebron, William Matthew Wooten et al.A 24-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of intravenous drug abuse and multiple hospital admissions for substance abuse related medical problems presented with pneumonia and was discharged home on oral antibiotics. Three days later, her blood culture grew acid fast bacilli, which was subsequently identified as M. abscessus subspecies abscessus. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram (TTE and TEE respectively) was suggestive … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2020 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractRound Pneumonia in Adults Masquerading as Bronchogenic CarcinomaChandan Kumar, Abhishek, Pal Satyajit Singh Athwal et al.Round pneumonia or coin pneumonia is a rare variant in adults, although it is very common in the pediatric age group patients. It can mimic as a pulmonary mass on imaging, which can lead to broad differential diagnosis or misguidance toward the conditions like bronchogenic carcinoma or other benign conditions which can lead to unnecessary diagnostic work up like computerized … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 7 Jan 2019 · 8,322 accessesView PDFCite
