    Epidemiological Modeling of Pneumococcal Pneumonia: Insights from ABC Fractal-Fractional Derivatives

    Mohammed Althubyani1,*, Nidal E. Taha2, Khdija O. Taha2, Rasmiyah A. Alharb2, Sayed Saber1,3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.143, No.3, pp. 3491-3521, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.061640 - 30 June 2025

    Abstract This study investigates the dynamics of pneumococcal pneumonia using a novel fractal-fractional Susceptible-Carrier-Infected-Recovered model formulated with the Atangana-Baleanu in Caputo (ABC) sense. Unlike traditional epidemiological models that rely on classical or Caputo fractional derivatives, the proposed model incorporates nonlocal memory effects, hereditary properties, and complex transmission dynamics through fractal-fractional calculus. The Atangana-Baleanu operator, with its non-singular Mittag-Leffler kernel, ensures a more realistic representation of disease progression compared to classical integer-order models and singular kernel-based fractional models. The study establishes the existence and uniqueness of the proposed system and conducts a comprehensive stability analysis, including local More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.84, No.1, pp. 513-536, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.063257 - 09 June 2025

    Abstract To solve the problems of complex lesion region morphology, blurred edges, and limited hardware resources for deploying the recognition model in pneumonia image recognition, an improved EfficientNetV2 pneumonia recognition model based on multiscale attention is proposed. First, the number of main module stacks of the model is reduced to avoid overfitting, while the dilated convolution is introduced in the first convolutional layer to expand the receptive field of the model; second, a redesigned improved mobile inverted bottleneck convolution (IMBConv) module is proposed, in which GSConv is introduced to enhance the model’s attention to inter-channel information,… More >

    Abstract Computer-aided diagnosis of pneumonia based on deep learning is a research hotspot. However, there are some problems that the features of different sizes and different directions are not sufficient when extracting the features in lung X-ray images. A pneumonia classification model based on multi-scale directional feature enhancement MSD-Net is proposed in this paper. The main innovations are as follows: Firstly, the Multi-scale Residual Feature Extraction Module (MRFEM) is designed to effectively extract multi-scale features. The MRFEM uses dilated convolutions with different expansion rates to increase the receptive field and extract multi-scale features effectively. Secondly, the… More >

    A Hybrid Classification and Identification of Pneumonia Using African Buffalo Optimization and CNN from Chest X-Ray Images

    Nasser Alalwan1,*, Ahmed I. Taloba2, Amr Abozeid3, Ahmed Ibrahim Alzahrani1, Ali H. Al-Bayatti4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2497-2517, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029910 - 15 December 2023

    Abstract An illness known as pneumonia causes inflammation in the lungs. Since there is so much information available from various X-ray images, diagnosing pneumonia has typically proven challenging. To improve image quality and speed up the diagnosis of pneumonia, numerous approaches have been devised. To date, several methods have been employed to identify pneumonia. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has achieved outstanding success in identifying and diagnosing diseases in the fields of medicine and radiology. However, these methods are complex, inefficient, and imprecise to analyze a big number of datasets. In this paper, a new hybrid… More >

    Optical Based Gradient-Weighted Class Activation Mapping and Transfer Learning Integrated Pneumonia Prediction Model

    Chia-Wei Jan1, Yu-Jhih Chiu1, Kuan-Lin Chen2, Ting-Chun Yao3, Ping-Huan Kuo1,4,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.3, pp. 2989-3010, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.042078 - 09 November 2023

    Abstract Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is more prone to affect the elderly and those with weaker respiratory systems. However, hospital medical resources are limited, and sometimes the workload of physicians is too high, which can affect their judgment. Therefore, a good medical assistance system is of great significance for improving the quality of medical care. This study proposed an integrated system by combining transfer learning and gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). Pneumonia is a common lung disease that is generally diagnosed using X-rays. However, in areas with limited medical resources, a shortage of… More >

    Recognition System for Diagnosing Pneumonia and Bronchitis Using Children’s Breathing Sounds Based on Transfer Learning

    Jianying Shi1, Shengchao Chen1, Benguo Yu2, Yi Ren3,*, Guanjun Wang1,4,*, Chenyang Xue5

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 3235-3258, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.041392 - 11 September 2023

    Abstract Respiratory infections in children increase the risk of fatal lung disease, making effective identification and analysis of breath sounds essential. However, most studies have focused on adults ignoring pediatric patients whose lungs are more vulnerable due to an imperfect immune system, and the scarcity of medical data has limited the development of deep learning methods toward reliability and high classification accuracy. In this work, we collected three types of breath sounds from children with normal (120 recordings), bronchitis (120 recordings), and pneumonia (120 recordings) at the posterior chest position using an off-the-shelf 3M electronic stethoscope.… More >

    Attenuate Class Imbalance Problem for Pneumonia Diagnosis Using Ensemble Parallel Stacked Pre-Trained Models

    Aswathy Ravikumar, Harini Sriraman*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.1, pp. 891-909, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.035848 - 06 February 2023

    Abstract Pneumonia is an acute lung infection that has caused many fatalities globally. Radiologists often employ chest X-rays to identify pneumonia since they are presently the most effective imaging method for this purpose. Computer-aided diagnosis of pneumonia using deep learning techniques is widely used due to its effectiveness and performance. In the proposed method, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) approach is used to eliminate the class imbalance in the X-ray dataset. To compensate for the paucity of accessible data, pre-trained transfer learning is used, and an ensemble Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is developed. The More >

    MDEV Model: A Novel Ensemble-Based Transfer Learning Approach for Pneumonia Classification Using CXR Images

    Mehwish Shaikh1, Isma Farah Siddiqui1, Qasim Arain1, Jahwan Koo2,*, Mukhtiar Ali Unar3, Nawab Muhammad Faseeh Qureshi4,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.1, pp. 287-302, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.035311 - 20 January 2023

    Abstract Pneumonia is a dangerous respiratory disease due to which breathing becomes incredibly difficult and painful; thus, catching it early is crucial. Medical physicians’ time is limited in outdoor situations due to many patients; therefore, automated systems can be a rescue. The input images from the X-ray equipment are also highly unpredictable due to variances in radiologists’ experience. Therefore, radiologists require an automated system that can swiftly and accurately detect pneumonic lungs from chest x-rays. In medical classifications, deep convolution neural networks are commonly used. This research aims to use deep pre-trained transfer learning models to… More >
