Context: Arkansas currently has the largest Marshallese community in the continental US.The limited research available demonstrates that Marshallese have significant health disparities, with higher rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and infectious diseases than the US population.Objectives: The purpose of this paper is 2-fold: (1) t
Text-Guided Synthesis in Medical Multimedia Retrieval: A Framework for Enhanced Colonoscopy Image Classification and Segmentation
The lack of extensive, varied, and thoroughly annotated datasets impedes the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical applications, especially colorectal cancer detection.Models trained with limited diversity often display biases, especially when utilized on disadvantaged groups.Generative models (e.g., DALL-E 2, Vector-Quantized Gen
Synthesis of bio-active titanium oxide coatings stimulated by electron-beam plasma
Advantages of the electron-beam plasma (EBP) for production of bioactive titanium oxide coatings were experimentally studied.The coatings were synthesized in EBP of Gas Filler Hose oxygen on the surface of plane titanium substrates.A number of analytical techniques were used to characterize morphology, chemical composition, and structure LAST MEAL
Incremental yield and cost of urine Determine TB-LAM and sputum induction in seriously ill adults with HIV
Background: Tuberculosis is a major cause of mortality among HIV-infected inpatients, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an algorithm to improve diagnosis.The urine lateral flow lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and sputum Xpert MTB/RIF tests are promising tools, but the optimal diagnostic algorithm is unclear.Methods: This prospective cohort
