Sputum scarcity and associated factors in people undergoing tuberculosis testing in South Africa, Uganda, India, and the Philippines: an analysis of cross-sectional observational data

Welile Nwamba, Anna O. Okunola, Rebecca R. Crowder, D. John Christopher et autres

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) testing often excludes people who cannot expectorate sputum. Non-sputum tests are a priority; however, there are limited data on the frequency and characteristics of sputum scarcity, which will influence the impact of non-sputum tests. Methods: We analysed adults with …

Cough activity detection for automatic tuberculosis screening

Joshua Jansen van Vüren, Devendra Singh Parihar, D P Naidoo, Kimsey Zajac et autres

The automatic identification of cough segments in audio through the determination of start and end points is pivotal to building scalable screening tools in health technologies for pulmonary related diseases. We propose the application of two current pre-trained architectures to the task …

Neural network-based identification of easily-obtainable demographic and clinical characteristics to identify people with tuberculosis

Devendra Singh Parihar, Joshua Jansen van Vüren, Thomas Niesler, Grant Theron et autres

ABSTRACT We consider the application of machine learning to the classification of tuberculosis (TB) based on clinical and demographic data. Such data is routinely collected from people who present with cough at community-level care centres. Therefore, such automatic classification could identify people …

Oral Washes and Tongue Swabs for Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra–Based Tuberculosis Diagnosis in People With and Without the Ability to Make Sputum

Loren Rockman, Shima M. Abdulgader, Stephanie Minnies, Zaida Palmer et autres

BACKGROUND: Oral samples show promise for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, but data from different sample types and sputum-scarce individuals remain limited. METHODS: We evaluated Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) in symptomatic clinic attendees (cohort A, n = 891) and people initiating antiretroviral therapy without …

Wernicke's encephalopathy and alcohol-related disease

D P Naidoo, A Bramdev, Kumarasen Cooper

A pilot study of 31 consecutive alcohol-related deaths over an 8-month period revealed the presence of histologically diagnosed Wernicke's encephalopathy in 17 cases. Analysis of the clinical records revealed that a disturbance of the mental state was the commonest finding and neurological …
