Background: This study proposes a Vision-Language Model (VLM) leveraging the SIGLIP encoder and Gemma-3b transformer decoder to enhance automated chronic tuberculosis (TB) screening. By integrating chest X-ray images with clinical data, the…
According to multiple authoritative authorities, including the World Health Organization, vision-related impairments and disorders are becoming a significant issue. According to a recent report, one of the leading causes of irreversible…
Glaucoma is an irreversible ocular disease and is the second leading cause of visual disability worldwide. Slow vision loss and the asymptomatic nature of the disease make its diagnosis challenging. Early detection is crucial for preventing…
Objective: The automatic discrimination between the coughing sounds produced by patients with tuberculosis (TB) and those produced by patients with other lung ailments. Approach: We present experiments based on a dataset of 1358 forced…
Nowadays, glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. We propose in this paper two different deep-learning-based approaches to address glaucoma detection just from raw circumpapillary OCT images. The first one is based on the…
Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite, kills over 1 million people globally each year. People, if left untreated, may develop severe complications, leading to death. Effective and accurate diagnosis is important for the…
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, but early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods are often invasive and require specialized equipment. In this work, we present a deep…
Malaria is considered one of the deadliest diseases in today world which causes thousands of deaths per year. The parasites responsible for malaria are scientifically known as Plasmodium which infects the red blood cells in human beings.…
We analyse the model of Tuberculosis due to Blower (Nature Medecine 1(8) 815-821) from the point of view of symmetry and singularity analysis. From the study we provide a demonstration of the integrability of the model to present an…
Capsule Networks (CapsNets) is a machine learning architecture proposed to overcome some of the shortcomings of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, CapsNets have mainly outperformed CNNs in datasets where images are small and/or…
Introduction: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a serious brain infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, characterized by inflammation of the meninges covering the brain and spinal cord. Diagnosis often requires invasive lumbar…
Automatic infectious disease classification from images can facilitate needed medical diagnoses. Such an approach can identify diseases, like tuberculosis, which remain under-diagnosed due to resource constraints and also novel and emerging…
Modeling and simulation approaches for infectious disease dynamics have proven to be essential tools for effective control of the spread of epidemics in the population. Among these approaches, it is obvious that compartmental mathematical…
