A novel multiple-instance learning-based approach to computer-aided detection of tuberculosis on chest x-rays (Publications)
In order to reach performance levels comparable to those of human experts, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are typically optimized by means of a supervised learning approach that relies on larg
Clinical and epidemiologic phenotypes of childhood asthma (Publications)
Rationale: Clinical and epidemiologic approaches have identified two distinct sets of classifications for asthma and wheeze phenotypes. Objective: To compare epidemiologic phenotype definitions identi
Tracking a tuberculosis outbreak over 21 years: strain-specific single nucleotide polymorphism-typing combined with targeted whole genome sequencing (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used in molecular-epidemiological investigations of bacterial pathogens, despite cost- and time-intensive analyses. We combined strain-specifi
Control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Yunnan province, People's Republic of China: experiences and lessons from a 5-year multi-intervention... (Publications)
The current global strategy for the control of soil-transmitted helminthiasis emphasises periodic administration of anthelminthic drugs to at-risk populations. However, this approach fails to address
