Background And Objectives: The scarcity of data for training deep learning models in pediatrics has prompted questions about the feasibility of employing CNNs trained with adult images for pediatric populations. In this work, a pneumonia classification CNN was used as an exploratory example to showcase the adaptability and efficacy of such models in pediatric healthcare settings despite the inherent data constraints.

Methods: To develop a curated training dataset with reduced biases, 46,947 chest X-ray images from various adult datasets were meticulously selected.

Background: Disease trajectories have become increasingly relevant within the context of an aging population and the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses. Understanding the temporal progression of diseases is crucial for enhancing patient care, preventive measures, and effective management.

Objective: The objective of this study is to propose and validate a novel methodology for trajectory impact analysis and interactive visualization of disease trajectories over a cohort of 71,849 patients.

Introduction: As Hearing loss and dementia affect people with the same profile, several epidemiological studies have evaluated their relationship. However, the link between age-related hearing loss and Alzheimer's disease is still unclear.

Methods: We selected subjects with no history of exposure to loud noises, blasts, head trauma with hearing loss, or sudden sensorineural hearing loss from a cohort intended to study preclinical phases of Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous pathogen that usually produces self-limiting gastrointestinal symptoms. However, in susceptible patients, it can lead to central nervous system infections which are potentially fatal.

Development: We present the case of a 10-year-old male under chemotherapy treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
