4mm nodule on lung :: Article Creator AI Improves Lung Nodule Detection On Chest X-rays (IMAGE) Caption Images in a 60-year-old woman who underwent chest radiography for health checkup purposes and was allocated to the artificial intelligence (AI) group. (A) Frontal chest radiograph shows a subtle nodular opacity (arrow) in the right middle lung zone. (B) The lesion was detected by the AI-based computer-aided detection software, with an abnormality probability of 81.1%. The designated radiologist reported this chest radiograph as positive. (C) Axial, noncontrast, low-dose chest CT scan shows a 1.1-cm solid nodule (arrow) in the right lower lobe. The patient underwent percutaneous needle biopsy, and the nodule was confirmed to be adenocarcinoma. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

pulmonary tb causes :: Article Creator What Are The Different Types Of Tuberculosis? Tuberculosis (TB) does not only affect the lungs — it can also affect other areas of the body, known as extrapulmonary TB. Types of extrapulmonary TB include gastrointestinal TB, skeletal TB, liver TB, and more. TB is a disease that occurs due to an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It mostly affects the lungs but can also affect other areas of the body, including the liver, bones, reproductive system, and gastrointestinal tract. People may have either active TB, which is contagious and causes symptoms, or latent TB, which does not cause symptoms or spread to others. This article covers the different types of TB, testing for the disease, and more. TB spreads through breathing in air particles containing the TB bacteria. If a person inhales these particles, TB bacteria enter the lung tissue. Latent TB occurs if people have ...

heart failure in 30s :: Article Creator AI Identified These 5 Types Of Heart Failure In New Study: 'Interesting To Differentiate' "Heart failure" is a catch-all term used to describe any condition in which the organ doesn't work as it's supposed to — but one person's experience with the disease can be very different from someone else's. Researchers from the University College London (UCL) recently used machine learning — a type of artificial intelligence — to pinpoint five distinct types of heart failure, with the goal of predicting the prognosis for the different kinds. "We sought to improve how we classify heart failure, with the aim of better understanding the likely course of disease and communicating this to patients," said lead author Professor Amitava Banerjee from UCL in a press release announcing the study. HEART DISEASE, THE SILENT KILLER: STUDY SHOWS IT CAN STRIKE WITHOUT SYMPTOMS ...

cardiac enzymes heart failure :: Article Creator Exposure To Heavy Metals Increases Your Heart Disease Risk Chronic exposure to contaminant metals found in household products, air, water, soil and food is linked to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a new scientific statement released by the American Heart Association. To find out about metal toxicity in your area, you can have your environment tested. Addressing metal exposure in low socioeconomic areas may provide a strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease disparities and advance environmental justice. Numerous studies show the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. However, there is limited research on the impact of toxic metals on heart health. According to a scientific statement published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, chronic exposure to contaminant metals found in household pr...
