Article Abstract
Cough is a common and commonly ignored symptom of lung disease. Cough is often perceived as difficult to quantify, frequently self-limiting, and non-specific. However, cough has a central role in the clinical detection of many lung diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which remains the leading infectious disease killer worldwide. TB screening currently relies on self-reported cough which fails to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) accuracy targets for a TB triage test. Artificial intelligence (AI) models based on cough sound have been developed for several respiratory conditions, with limited work being done in TB. To support the development of an accurate, point-of-care cough-based triage tool for TB, we have compiled a large multi-country database of cough sounds from individuals being evaluated for TB. The dataset includes more than 700,000 cough sounds from 2,143 individuals with detailed demographic, clinical and microbiologic diagnostic information. We aim to empower researchers in the development of cough sound analysis models to improve TB diagnosis, where innovative approaches are critically needed to end this long-standing pandemic.

Background: Foreign body ingestion is a common emergency in clinical practice. While the majority of cases are resolved following successful removal, rare and unexpected complications can arise, such as the spontaneous displacement of a foreign body during the procedure. This report describes a unique case where a foreign body initially lodged in the esophagus was dropped during the procedure, leading to aspiration and migration to the airway.

Cough is a common symptom of respiratory disease, and its detection is a basic step in cough sound analysis. Manual cough sound segmentation is tedious, subjective, and inefficient. Cough sounds from real-world scenarios can be collected in various environments using different devices, making cough event detection more difficult.

Respiratory diseases, including pneumonia, asthma, bronchiolitis, and croup, remain the leading causes of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide. Diagnostic challenges persist, especially in low-resource settings lacking specialized tools. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of cough sounds has emerged as a promising, noninvasive diagnostic alternative.
