A SAM2 and VLM-Based Automatic Radiological Reporting System for Pneumothorax Detection

Background/Objectives: Pneumothorax, caused by air accumulation in the pleural space, can lead to lung collapse and, if diagnosis is delayed, respiratory or cardiovascular deterioration. Most deep-learning studies on pneumothorax address cl...

Elevated Eosinophils as a Feature of Inflammation Associated With Hypertension in Virally Suppressed People Living With HIV

Background People living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, which persists despite effective plasma viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy. HIV infection is characterized by long‐te...

Lost to follow up?: A qualitative study of why some patients do not pursue lung cancer screening
