Efficacy of aerosol reduction measures for dental aerosol generating procedures
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2022 , Article)
Aerosol particles generated by dental procedures could facilitate the transmission of infectious diseases and contain carcinogen particles. Such particles can penetrate common surgical masks and reach the lungs, leading ...
COVID-19 infection localization and severity grading from chest X-ray images
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The immense spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has left healthcare systems incapable to diagnose and test patients at the required rate. Given the effects of COVID-19 on pulmonary tissues, chest radiographic ...
Detection and severity classification of COVID-19 in CT images using deep learning
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Detecting COVID-19 at an early stage is essential to reduce the mortality risk of the patients. In this study, a cascaded system is proposed to segment the lung, detect, localize, and quantify COVID-19 infections from ...

(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
The present study reports the fabrication of hybrid nanoparticles consisting of nickel ferrite (NFO) for anti cancer drug delivery. The hybrid system was formulated from poly(vinyl alcohol)/stearic acid with PEG containing ...
Composition and characteristics of trabecular bone in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Background
Bone strength depends on multiple factors such as bone density, architecture and composition turnover. However, the role these factors play in osteoporotic fractures is not well understood.
Purpose
The aim ...
