The prompt and accurate identification of the causes pneumonia is necessary to implement rapid treatment preventative approaches, reduce burden infections, develop more successful intervention strategies. There has been an increase in number new cases diseases known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) a direct consequence spread COVID-19. Chest radiography evolved point that it now indispensable diagnostic tool for COVID-19 infection hospitals. To fully exploit technique, crucial design computer-aided (CAD) system assist doctors other medical professionals establishing diagnosis pneumonia. This article presents robust hybrid deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) rapidly identifying three categories (normal, (viral or bacterial)) using X-ray image data sourced from COVID-QU-Ex dataset. proposed approach on test set achieved rate 99.25% accuracy, 99.10% Kappa-score, 99.43% AUC, 99.24% F1-score, recall, 99.23% precision, respectively. outcomes experiments demonstrate presented DCNN mechanism utilising images effective.

IMPORTANCE: Although pulse (high-dose) methylprednisolone therapy can hypothetically control immune system flare-ups effectively, the clinical benefit of compared with dexamethasone in COVID-19 remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVES: To compare to as a treatment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using Japanese multicenter database, we identified adult patients admitted for and discharged between January 2020 December 2021 treated (250, 500, or 1,000 mg/d) IV (≥ 6 at admission day 0 1. Main Outcomes Measures: The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality, new ICU admission, insulin initiation, fungal infection, readmission. Multivariable logistic regression conducted differentiate dose mg/d). Additionally, subgroup analyses by characteristics such need invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) also conducted. RESULTS: A total 7,519, 197, 399, 1,046 received dexamethasone, 250, mg/d methylprednisolone, respectively. crude mortality 9.3% (702/7,519), 8.6% (17/197), 17.0% (68/399), 16.2% (169/1,046) different doses, adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) 1.26 (0.69–2.29), 1.48 (1.07–2.04), 1.75 (1.40–2.19) starting respectively, those dexamethasone. In analyses, 0.78 (0.25–2.47), 1.12 (0.55–2.27), 1.04 (0.68–1.57) among IMV, whereas 1.54 (0.77–3.08), 1.62 (1.13–2.34), 2.14 (1.64–2.80) without IMV.

To evaluate the demographic, clinical, and prognostic characteristics of patients diagnosed with COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) in Iranian patients. This prospective observational study was conducted 8 tertiary referral ophthalmology centers different provinces Iran during fifth wave COVID-19 pandemic. All were subjected to complete history taking comprehensive ophthalmological examination underwent standard accepted treatment strategy based on disease stage. Two hundred seventy-four CAM (most males (150, 54.7%)) a mean age 56.8 ± 12.44 years enrolled. Patients cigarette smoking (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 4.36), Intensive Care Unit admission (ICU) (AOR 16.26), higher stage 2.72), receiving endoscopic debridement transcutaneous retrobulbar amphotericin B 3.30) had odds mortality. History systemic corticosteroids significantly associated reduced mortality 0.16). Generalized Estimating Equations analysis showed that visual acuity deceased (LogMAR: 3.71, 95% CI: 3.04–4.38) worse than who discharged from hospital 2.42, 2.16–2.68) (P < 0.001). highlights significant risk factors for CAM, such as smoking, ICU admission, advanced stages, worser acuity.

Purpose of review Mucormycosis (MCR) is a common opportunistic mold infection, and Mucorales were recently designated by WHO as priority pathogens. The interest in this infection has risen significantly since the major outbreak MCR context COVID-19 pandemic, particularly India. Herein, we summarize (last 24 months) published information regarding clinical aspects MCR. Recent findings disease remains protean its presentation, difficult to diagnose, challenging treat. In 2021, cases COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) exploded India during manifested primarily sino-orbital or sino-cerebral disease. Its classic risk factors included triad COVID-19, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus use corticosteroids. Despite difficulties timely diagnosis MCR, significant progress been made with molecular techniques blood assist earlier diagnosis, which can facilitate appropriate therapy improve outcomes. addition, advances have imaging stage disease, determining what types multimodal are required depending on staging, tissue-based identification Mucorales. Summary Although outlook for improved, effective new antifungals, stratification, optimal multimodality approaches remain an unmet need.
