Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

CXR; LUS; SARS; patient summary = From a clinical point of view, cardiac involvement during COVID-19 may present a wide spectrum of severity ranging from subclinical myocardial injury to well-defined clinical entities (myocarditis, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and heart failure), whose incidence and prognostic implications are currently largely unknown due to a significant lack of imaging data. The use of integrated heart and lung multimodality imaging plays a central role in different clinical settings and is essential in diagnosis, risk stratification and management of COVID-19 patients. In this context, the use of multiple diagnostic imaging techniques may apply to both heart and lung to provide an integrated assessment of cardiac and pulmonary function and to refine diagnosis, risk stratification and management of COVID-19 patients. patients not requiring ICU, when clinical presentation and biomarker alterations suggest acute-onset myocardial inflammation, if the diagnosis is likely to impact on management, CMR may be considered to confirm acute myocarditis, after exclusion of alternative relevant clinical conditions, including ACS and HF, by means of other rapidly available imaging modalities (i.e. cardiac CT scan or TTE). doi = 10.1016/j.jcmg.2020.05.017 id = cord-006708-nionk55w author = Aktaş, Fatma title = The pulmonary findings of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever patients with chest X-ray assessments date = 2019-03-25 keywords = CCHF; CXR summary = MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 165 patients who were diagnosed with CCHF and examined through chest X-ray (CXR) due to respiratory symptoms at their first examination and/or during their hospitalization were included in this study. CONCLUSION: According to the results of our study, it can be suggested that radiological examination in lungs should be performed primarily with CXR and pulmonary involvement (pleural effusion and consolidation) affects survival in CCHF negatively. As a result of CXR findings obtained based on the first examination and clinical follow-up within the first 5 days, consolidation in 74 patients (44.8%), pleural effusion in 64 patients (39.8%), ground glass opacity in 49 patients (29.7%), and atelectasis in 30 patients (18.2%) were detected (Fig. 2) . In a study performed on dengue hemorrhagic fever, a total of 468 CXR taken from 363 patients were examined and parenchymal infiltration and pleural effusion were observed in more than half of the patients on the third day of follow-up. doi = 10.1007/s11547-019-01024-w id = cord-266672-t85wd0xq author = Bagnera, Silvia title = Performance of Radiologists in the Evaluation of the Chest Radiography with the Use of a “new software score” in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pneumonia Suspected Patients date = 2020-07-20 keywords = CXR; covid-19 summary = title: Performance of Radiologists in the Evaluation of the Chest Radiography with the Use of a "new software score" in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pneumonia Suspected Patients OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of radiologists using a new software called "COVID-19 score" when performing chest radiography on patients potentially infected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From February–April 2020, 14 radiologists retrospectively evaluated a pool of 312 chest X-ray exams to test a new software function for lung imaging analysis based on radiological features and graded on a three-point scale. To evaluate a new tool called "COVID-19 score" made available to radiologists for lung imaging analysis, we retrospectively included in the study patients who underwent at least two consecutive chest X-rays for a total of 312 exams. In this study, we tested a new software application called "COVID-19 score" that can be used in the reporting of chest X-ray imaging in patients suspected COVID-19, based on radiological semantic features. doi = 10.25259/jcis_76_2020 id = cord-310228-bqpvykce author = Borkowski, A.

We then validated the program using CXRs of patients from our institution with confirmed COVID-19 diagnoses along with non-COVID-19 pneumonia and normal CXRs. Our model performed with 100% sensitivity, 95% specificity, 97% accuracy, 91% positive predictive value, and 100% negative predictive value. We first trained the Microsoft CustomVision automated image classification and object detection system to differentiate cases of COVID-19 from pneumonia from other etiologies as well as normal lung CXRs. We then tested our model against known patients from our medical center. We have utilized a readily available, commercial platform to demonstrate the potential of AI to assist in the successful diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia on CXR images. doi = 10.1101/2020.05.21.20106518 id = cord-167889-um3djluz author = Chen, Jianguo title = A Survey on Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Fighting Against COVID-19 date = 2020-07-04 keywords = COVID-19; CXR; SARS; image; model summary = The progress of CT image inspection based on AI usually includes the following steps: Region Of Interest (ROI) segmentation, lung tissue feature extraction, candidate infection region detection, and COVID-19 classification.

To date, few studies addressing chest imaging in patients affected by infl uenza A/H1N1 have been published [10] [11] [12] , and the presentation of H1N1 virus pneumonia on both CXR and chest CT seems to refl ect the general features of viral pneumonia [23] . One study [11] reported on the main CXR and chest CT fi ndings in seven patients affected by infl uenza A/H1N1: bilateral GGO, more frequently associated with focal or multifocal areas of consolidation. doi = 10.1007/s11547-011-0622-0 id = cord-337507-cqbbrnku author = Cozzi, Andrea title = Chest x-ray in the COVID-19 pandemic: Radiologists’ real-world reader performance date = 2020-09-10 keywords = CXR summary = METHODS: In this retrospective observational study we enrolled all patients presenting to the emergency department of a Milan-based university hospital from February 24th to April 8th 2020 who underwent nasopharyngeal swab for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and anteroposterior bedside CXR within 12 h. The two largest by far are a retrospective review by a single radiologist of 518 CXRs acquired during the first phase of the pandemic peak (from March 1 st to March 15 th )with a resulting overall sensitivity of 57% [22] and a study coming from our group and performed on 535 patients [23] . Real-world data from this study, albeit conducted in a highprevalence region and during a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic peak, seem to provide a better scenario, in which radiologists with less than 10 years of experience matched the 89.0% sensitivity attained by radiologists with more than 10 years of experience, with similar disease prevalence in the CXR subsets read by each group (73% versus 77%, respectively). doi = 10.1016/j.ejrad.2020.109272 id = cord-331891-a6b1xanm author = Cozzi, Diletta title = Chest X-ray in new Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection: findings and correlation with clinical outcome date = 2020-06-09 keywords = CXR; RALE; covid-19 summary = MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study involving patients with clinical-epidemiological suspect of COVID-19 infection, who performed CXRs at the emergency department (ED) of our University Hospital from March 1 to March 31, 2020. Radiological evaluation of patients with clinical-epidemiological suspect of COVID-19 is mandatory, especially in the emergency department (ED) while waiting for RT-PCR results, in order to have a rapid evaluation of thoracic involvement. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to better understand the main radiographic features of COVID-19 pneumonia, by describing the main CXR findings in a selected cohort of patients, also correlating the radiological appearance with RT-PCR examination and patients outcome (intended as discharged or hospitalized into a medicine department or intensive care unit). An independent and retrospective review of each CXR was performed by two thoracic radiologists in order to define the number of radiological suspects of COVID-19 infection; after this, they defined the predominant pattern of COVID-19 pneumonia presentation in patients with a positive RT-PCR. doi = 10.1007/s11547-020-01232-9 id = cord-336843-c0sr3six author = Gerritsen, M.

Two studies comparing LDCT to CXR in patients with persistent febrile neutropenia demonstrated an increased detection of pulmonary abnormalities. The diagnosis of possible IFD in the patient with a negative LDCT scan was based on abnormalities on HRCT made on day 4 of fever. We conducted a prospective study to evaluate whether pulmonary focus detection would improve using a LDCT scan instead of CXR on the first day of febrile neutropenia. [3] In a retrospective study 1083 adult SCT patients were evaluated, but in none of the 242 CXRs performed in asymptomatic patients with febrile neutropenia pulmonary abnormalities indicative of infection were detected. doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0172256 id = cord-296208-uy1r6lt2 author = Greenspan, Hayit title = Position paper on COVID-19 imaging and AI: from the clinical needs and technological challenges to initial AI solutions at the lab and national level towards a new era for AI in healthcare date = 2020-08-19 keywords = COVID-19; CXR; datum; disease summary = We focus on three specific use-cases for which AI systems can be built: early disease detection, management in a hospital setting, and building patient-specific predictive models that require the combination of imaging with additional clinical data. Many studies have emerged in the last several months from the medical imaging community with many research groups as well as companies introducing deep learning based solutions to tackle the various tasks: mostly in detection of the disease (vs normal), and more recently also for staging disease severity. In Section 2 of this paper we focus on three specific use-cases for which AI systems can be built: detection, patient management, and predictive models in which the imaging is combined with additional clinical features.

While CXR provides relevant clinical information concerning central venous catheters (CVC), pleural effusion, and pulmonary congestion [ 17 ] , it fails to enable early detection or exclusion of pneumonia, which is a major task in immunocompromised hosts. For use in the context of clinical and epidemiological research in neutropenic patients, standards for the interpretation of radiological fi ndings in invasive fungal infections have been elaborated [ 10 , 51 ] ; newly emerged "typical" CT patterns (dense, well-circumscribed lesions with or without a halo sign, air-crescent sign) are classifi ed as a clinical criterion for fungal pneumonia Figs. doi = 10.1007/978-3-662-44000-1_7 id = cord-346942-88l03lf0 author = Kerpel, Ariel title = Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Chest Radiographs for COVID-19 at Presentation date = 2020-08-17 keywords = COVID-19; CXR; RALE summary = The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of chest radiographs (CXR) for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at presentation. 13 Data on the strengths and weaknesses of chest radiography for the diagnosis of COVID-19 are important, as CXRs are the most commonly used triage imaging tool in any patient presenting with respiratory symptoms. We identified our study population by extracting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RT-PCR test results (positive or negative) of nasopharyngeal swabs from all consecutive patients older than 18 years analyzed at our hospital''s laboratory from the ED from March 6-31, 2020, who had a CXR at presentation (within 24 hours of the first RT-PCR).

The study of Guan et al., also cited by Nair et al., reported CXR abnormalities in only 162/274 (59.1%) of COVID-19 patients. reported abnormal CXR in 44/64 (68.8%) of COVID-19 patients on presentation 4 ; however, it is important to note that both of these studies included hospitalised patients, representing individuals with more severe illness. reported CXR findings of 636 COVID-19 patients presenting to urgent-care centres and found that only 168 (26.4%) were reported originally as abnormal. doi = 10.1016/j.crad.2020.05.009 id = cord-347691-ia2i8svg author = Larici, Anna Rita title = Multimodality imaging of COVID-19 pneumonia: from diagnosis to follow-up.

As suggested in the recently published WHO (World Health Organization) advice guide for the diagnosis and management of COVID-19, chest imaging should be used for diagnostic purpose in symptomatic patients if RT-PCR is not available or its results are delayed, or in case of negative result in the presence of a high clinical suspicion of COVID-19 [11] . Apart from recognizing COVID-19 pneumonia features, imaging -especially CT -may reveal possible alternative diagnoses (e.g. pulmonary oedema, alveolar haemorrhage, other type of lung infections) that justify patient''s respiratory symptoms [25, 26] . doi = 10.1016/j.ejrad.2020.109217 id = cord-103840-2diao7zh author = Mungai, B.

We systematically searched MEDLINE, CINHAL, Global Health and Google scholar databases from 1940-2019 to identify studies that described the prevalence of non-TB CXR findings during TB prevalence surveys or mass screening activities. The main finding from this analysis of X-ray images from the 2016 Kenya TB prevalence survey was that the use of CXR for TB population-based studies identified a large number of patients with abnormalities, including noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular abnormalities and chronic respiratory diseases that require clinical attention. Clinically relevant cardiac and chronic pulmonary diseases accounted for 66% of the non-TB abnormalities in our setting.To our knowledge, this is the first study in sub-Saharan Africa to characterise and quantify non-TB CXR findings among participants who underwent mass screening as part of a population-based TB prevalence survey. doi = 10.1101/2020.08.19.20177907 id = cord-157444-huvnyali author = Nabulsi, Zaid title = Deep Learning for Distinguishing Normal versus Abnormal Chest Radiographs and Generalization to Unseen Diseases date = 2020-10-22 keywords = CXR-14; DLS; DS-1 summary = In this work, we evaluated the DLS''s performance on 6 independent test sets consisting of different patient populations, spanning three countries, and with two unseen diseases (TB and COVID-19). However, as other acute diseases may share a similar clinical presentation, many cases negative for COVID-19 exhibited abnormal CXR findings that likely triggered the DLS ( Figure 5, Supplementary Figure 5 ). Finally, to facilitate the continued development of AI models for chest radiography, we are releasing our abnormal versus normal labels from 3 radiologists (2430 labels on 810 images) for the publicly-available CXR-14 test set. Two datasets were used to evaluate the DLS''s performance in distinguishing normal and abnormal findings in a general abnormality detection setting. To compare the DLS with radiologists in classifying CXRs as normal versus abnormal, additional radiologists reviewed all test images without referencing additional clinical or patient data. doi = nan id = cord-297396-r1p7xn3a author = Ng, Ming-Yen title = Development and Validation of Risk Prediction Models for COVID-19 Positivity in a Hospital Setting date = 2020-09-15 keywords = COVID-19; CXR; PCR summary = OBJECTIVES: To develop:(1) two validated risk prediction models for COVID-19 positivity using readily available parameters in a general hospital setting; (2) nomograms and probabilities to allow clinical utilisation.  Developed two simple-to use nomograms for identifying COVID-19 positive patients  Probabilities are provided to allow healthcare leaders to decide suitable cut-offs  Variables are age, white cell count, chest x-ray appearances and contact history  Model variables are easily available in the general hospital setting.

Thus, a COVID-19 prediction model based on clinical, laboratory and radiological findings which presents the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) would allow public healthcare systems to decide a suitable strategy on prioritizing tests when such RT-PCR availability is constrained. doi = 10.1016/j.ijid.2020.09.022 id = cord-028786-400vglzm author = Oloko-Oba, Mustapha title = Diagnosing Tuberculosis Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network date = 2020-06-05 keywords = CXR summary = We propose a Computer-Aided Detection model using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks to automatically detect TB from Montgomery County (MC) Tuberculosis radiographs. As a result, to profer solution to the issue of limited or lack of expert radiologist and misdiagnosis of CXR, we propose a Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model that will automatically diagnose large numbers of CXR at a time for TB manifestation in developing regions where TB is most prevalent. A model based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) structure has been proposed in this work for the detection and classification of Tuberculosis.

METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who presented to a single, academic emergency department in the United States between March 20 and April 6, 2020, and received LUS, CXR, and viral testing for COVID-19 as part of their diagnostic evaluation. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been shown to outperform chest radiograph (CXR) in its ability to detect abnormalities with non-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pulmonary infections. This was a retrospective, observational, cohort study of patients undergoing COVID-19 testing (based on real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR] of nasopharyngeal sampling performed on an assay developed by the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Boston University, operating under an Emergency Use Authorization], who also had both diagnostic LUS and CXR for the evaluation of COVID-19 in the emergency department (ED). doi = 10.5811/westjem.2020.5.47743 id = cord-355218-eici4eit author = Punn, Narinder Singh title = Automated diagnosis of COVID-19 with limited posteroanterior chest X-ray images using fine-tuned deep neural networks date = 2020-10-17 keywords = COVID-19; CXR; deep summary = Recently, with the release of publicly available datasets of corona positive patients comprising of computed tomography (CT) and chest X-ray (CXR) imaging; scientists, researchers and healthcare experts are contributing for faster and automated diagnosis of COVID-19 by identifying pulmonary infections using deep learning approaches to achieve better cure and treatment. Following from this context, this article presents the random oversampling and weighted class loss function approach for unbiased fine-tuned learning (transfer learning) in various state-of-the-art deep learning approaches such as baseline ResNet, Inception-v3, Inception ResNet-v2, DenseNet169, and NASNetLarge to perform binary classification (as normal and COVID-19 cases) and also multi-class classification (as COVID-19, pneumonia, and normal case) of posteroanterior CXR images.

In this work we show how local phase CXR features based image enhancement improves the accuracy of CNN architectures for COVID-19 diagnosis. Our proposed method is designed for processing CXR images and consists of two main stages as illustrated in Figure 1 : 1-We enhance the CXR images (CXR(x, y)) using local phase-based image processing method in order to obtain a multi-feature CXR image (M F (x, y)), and 2-we classify CXR(x, y) by designing a deep learning approach where multi feature CXR images (M F (x, y)), together with original CXR data (CXR(x, y)), is used for improving the classification performance. Our proposed multi-feature CNN architectures were trained on a large dataset in terms of the number of COVID-19 CXR scans and have achieved improved classification accuracy across all classes. doi = nan id = cord-013065-oj0wsstz author = Rodríguez-Fanjul, Javier title = Procalcitonin and lung ultrasound algorithm to diagnose severe pneumonia in critical paediatric patients (PROLUSP study).

Besides this, the use of biomarkers such as procalcitonin (PCT) has become more widespread during the past 10 years, helping clinicians diagnose bacterial etiology, especially in patients who have only had a fever for a few hours or those admitted to intensive care units [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] . Therefore, we propose this clinical trial, based on combining LUS and PCT in an algorithm with the aim to improve quality of care in children with pneumonia in a PICU. The use procalcitonin and lung ultrasound algorithm will help us diagnose bacterial pneumonia accurately and prescribe the correct antibiotic treatment.

CXR imaging of suspected or confirmed Covid-19 cases should be performed with portable equipment within specifically designated isolated rooms for eliminating the risks of cross-infection within the Radiology department. After the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, many professional bodies and learned societies have been quick to issue official guidelines on how medical imaging should optimally be performed for early diagnosis and related management of these patients, but also how staff should be protected from cross-infection.

Alteration''s type (reticular/ground-glass opacity (GGO)/consolidation) and distribution (bilateral/unilateral, upper/middle/lower fields, peripheral/central) were noted. CONCLUSIONS: The most frequent lesions in COVID-19 patients were GGO (intermediate/late phase) and reticular alteration (early phase) while consolidation gradually increased over time. Our study aimed to evaluate the percentage of abnormal chest radiographs at different time intervals from the onset of symptoms and to identify the type and distribution of radiographic alterations and their frequency at different times throughout the disease course of COVID-19 pneumonia. Chest CT showed high sensitivity in detecting GGO, which is considered a typical finding in COVID-19 pneumonia and, in some cases, may be the only alteration present in the early phases of the disease [3, 16] . doi = 10.1007/s00330-020-06967-7 id = cord-269014-ck27fm58 author = Vo, Luan Nguyen Quang title = Enhanced Private Sector Engagement for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Reporting through an Intermediary Agency in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam date = 2020-09-14 keywords = CXR; NTP; private summary = title: Enhanced Private Sector Engagement for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Reporting through an Intermediary Agency in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam We tabulated descriptive statistics for private provider engagement and participation, the number and proportion of referred people progressing through the study''s TB care cascade by intervention district and the private TB treatment reported to our study.
