An adaptive self-ensembling framework was proposed to suppress the effect of noisy labels on training. Laradji et al. [18]proposed a weakly supervised COVID-19 infection segmentation method, which requires only point annotations. The method can greatly reduce the labor cost of annotations. Tilborg...

microvascular dysfunction and persisting COVID-19 infection—or a combination of these pathologies11. Considering clinical translation, the results support a stratified management approach for patients who had post-COVID-19 early during convalescence. Biomarkers, such as NT-proBNP, could be used by ...
These factors necessitate the early detection of COVID-19 for proper care of patients and to control infection spread [6]. The standard virus antigen detection approach approved by the World Health Organization is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR); however, it suffers from a high False-negative ...
While the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a large drop in pollution levels [264], exposure to air pollution may increase the odds of COVID-19 infection [259,265] as well as symptoms severity [259,266] and risk of death [259,267,268]. In terms of COVID-19 mortality, of the ...
