Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTransfer Learning-Driven Binary Classification of Chest X-ray for Pneumonia Using Deep Convolutional ArchitecturesNusrath Fathima, Pradeep KumarPneumonia is the most common infectious cause of lung inflammation, resulting from the presence of viruses or bacteria in the microscopic air sacs. In recent years, artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, has gained significant traction in the field of medical imaging. Early detection and diagnosis of pneumonia using chest X-rays can support radiologists in clinical decision-making and subsequent treatment planning, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 10 Mar 2026 · 1,542 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023). Adult patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 8 Jul 2025 · 6,582 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification of Thoracic X-Ray Images of COVID-19 Patients Using the Convolutional Neutral Network (CNN) MethodRamacos Fardela, Dian Milvita, Mawanda Almuhayar et al.Recently, radiology modalities have been widely used to detect COVID-19. Thoracic X-rays and CT scans are the primary radiological tools utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with COVID-19. In addition, chest CT scans are more accurate and sensitive in early COVID-19 identification. A new problem arises in diagnosing the results of CT scan images of COVID-19 by radiologists … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2024 · 5,753 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Chemical Constituents, Cytotoxicity, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of the Compounds from Leptadenia hastata Roots Extract ByIsaac John Umaru, Hauwa A. UmaruThe aim of this work was to extract, isolate and characterise the chemical constituent from Leptadenia hastata roots. Fresh roots were washed and dried and was subjected to sequential maceration in polar and non-polar solvents. And introduced into rotary evaporator to concentrate the extract. Isolated compound was subjected to Thin Layer Chromatography and spectral analysis such as column and UV-Visible … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2019 · 7,959 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND IMMUNOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF CAPSULAR POLYSACCHARIDE OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE ISOLATED FROM FARM ANIMALS AT TAIF GOVERNORATEAhmed M.A. Mansour, Hoda M. Zaki, Nibal A. Hassan, Abdulrahman A. Al-HumianyKlebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative enterobacterium that has historically been and currently remains, a significant cause of human disease and several kinds of infections in animals. In the present work, trials for the isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from diseased and apparently healthy farm animals (cows, sheep, goats and camels) were done for recognition of Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies. It was noticed … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2014 · 7,937 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of enzyme Immunoassay with Immunofluorescence Assay for the Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Respiratory Tract Infections in ChildrenOsama Mohammed Saed Abdul-WahabMycoplasma pneumoniae is a frequent cause of acute respiratory infections in both children and adults. Currently, diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infection will based principally on serology and the detection of IgM can provide an early and sensitive diagnosis in children. A variety of commercial immunodiagnostic assays, such as Indirect Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent (ELISA) assay and Indirect Immunofluorescence (IFA), are now available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2013 · 7,412 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Major Cultivable Aerobic Bacteria in the Oral Cavity of Malaysian SubjectsKoshy Philip, Wuen Yew Teoh, Sekaran Muniandy, Hashim YaakobCulture dependent and culture independent methods have shown that about 600 species of bacteria inhabit the human oral cavity. While some oral microorganisms have a direct link to dental caries, periodontal disease and halitosis, opportunistic pathogens may be responsible for systemic diseases such as bacterial endocarditis, aspiration pneumonia, osteomyelitis in children, preterm low birth weight, coronary heart disease and cerebral … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,990 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCarbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Korean Elderly Nursing Hospitals in 2023: Prevalence, Mortality, and Resistance PatternsLee Hye Seong, Jang Sung Hun, Kim Jae KyungInfections caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) represent a critical threat in healthcare settings owing to limited therapeutic options and high associated mortality. However, the epidemiological patterns and dynamics of CRE transmission in geriatric care hospitals remain poorly characterized. We elucidated the monthly incidence, bacterial species distribution, resistance genotypes, and patient demographics of CRE infections among inpatients at a senior care … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2026 · 2,101 accessesView PDF Cite
