Article Synopsis
  • - This study evaluated the integration of AI software for analyzing chest X-rays (CXRs) in visa screening across 33 UAE centers over 18 months, aiming to streamline the reporting process for infectious diseases like tuberculosis and COVID-19.
  • - Analysis of over 1.3 million CXRs showed the AI had a 99.92% Negative Predictive Value (NPV) and an agreement rate of 72.90% with radiologists, effectively distinguishing normal from abnormal scans.
  • - Survey results indicated that 88.2% of radiologists felt AI reduced turnaround times and 82% believed it enhanced their diagnostic accuracy, suggesting promising practical applications in radiology.

Gaucher disease is caused by glucocerebroside accumulation in different tissues due to beta-glucocerebrosidase enzyme deficiency. Genetic defects in proteins involved in beta-glucocerebrosidase processing and activation may indirectly lead to Gaucher-like phenotypes in affected individuals. Saposin C, derived from the prosaposin precursor, is a crucial activator for beta-glucocerebrosidase, and its deficiency has been linked to Gaucher-like phenotypes in several clinical reports.
