A Deep Learning Method for Pneumoconiosis Staging on Chest X-Ray Under Label Noise by Wenjian Sun, Dongsheng Wu, Jiang Shen, Yang Luo, Hao Wang, Li Min, Chunbo Luo

“…The ambiguous properties of small opacities in pneumoconiosis chest radiographs can cause diagnostic drift, which in turn leads to the presence of noisy labels in the datasets collected from hospitals that can negatively impact the generalization of deep learning models. To tackle this issue, we propose COFINE, a novel coarse-to-fine noise-tolerant deep learning method for the staging of pneumoconiosis chest radiographs, which comprises two procedures: coarse screening and fine learning. …”

Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: Review of A Fatal Case Report by O. V. Soldatova, I. Ya. Goryanskaya

“…To date, it has been proven that amyloid cardiomyopathy is an important and often undiagnosed cause of chronic heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias, especially in the elderly. There are more than 15 types of precursor proteins capable of causing systemic amyloidosis, but only 2 of them accumulate in the interstitium of the heart: light chains of clonal immunoglobulin (AL) and tetrameric protein transthyretin (TTR). …”
