“…During an average follow-up of 2.9 (1-5) years, a total of 184 cases (2.5%) of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis were found. However, conclusive descriptions of preventive effects are insufficient [ 5 ]. In 2018, Astuti T aimed to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α ), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and transforming growth factor- β 1 (TGF- β 1) in tuberculosis patients.…”

Helical CT plain scan has high spatial and area resolution, which is beneficial to the extraction of CT features of pulmonary nodules, and is of great significance for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. In order to deeply study the role of visual sensor image algorithm in CT image, this paper adopts clinical simulation method, data fusion method, and image acquisition method to collect images, analyze CT image features, and simplify the algorithm and create a CT model that can better diagnose secondary tuberculosis and lung cancer. We selected 45 patients with lung disease in this group, with an average age of 38 years. At the same time, the consistency analysis results of the diameter and plain CT value data of the five groups of cases measured by two observers are between 0.82 and 0.88, which has a good consistency. We could find that the nodule diameters of the five groups of cases were different ( F =16.99, P < 0.01 ), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.06 ), indicating that our data are not only accurate but also very reliable. ROC was used to analyze the precise value of CT values in the pulmonary tuberculosis group and lung cancer group, intrapulmonary lymph node group, and pulmonary hamartoma group to determine the cutoff value. The results showed that the AUC values of the pulmonary tuberculosis group and the lung cancer group were 0.788, and the middle was the largest, indicating that the values were guaranteed. The basic realization starts with visual sensor technology and designs a clinical model that can more accurately identify CT images and differential diagnosis.

Background: Forced migration caused by wars causes health parameters to regress including tuberculosis. Wars are obstacles that stand in our way to eradicate tuberculosis and they are the reason why it has been such a threat to human life. To determine the relationship between living area and family type and the number of contacts among refugees and Turkish citizens who have been diagnosed with tuberculosis.Method: This research has been conducted with 194 patients with tuberculosis who admitted to The Faculty of Medicine, Harran University between the years of 2012-2019. The number of contacted people has been provided with the patients' folders. Reaching their homes, the patients' family types and living areas have been recorded among the volunteer attenders.Result: 98 (%50,5) percent of the members of the study group are refugees, the number of the contacts, among screened refugees, is 549 while the size of the living area is 7740m2. 96 (%49,5) percent of the members of the study group are citizens of the Turkish Republic(TR), the number of the contacs, among screened TR citizens, is 487, while the size of the living space is 11370 m2. 57 percent (%58,2) of the refugee families were found in communal living style while 47 (%49,0) percent of TR citizens were found living in a nuclear family system. It has been found that the statistical significance between the living area and the family type is caused by the difference between the nuclear family system and the communal living style. The average living space of TR citizens is meaningfully higher than the average living area of the refugees.Conclusion: It has been found that tuberculosis infects more people in war-related life conditions and this is caused by people -who are not blood-related-living together, communal living in other words. This is new information for the literature. The exposed number being higher in refugees than TR citizens proves that the refugees living out of camp are present in communal living spaces more often. The obstacles to reaching health services for refugees living out of camp should be examined.It has been found that tuberculosis infects more people in war-related life conditions and this is caused by people -who are not blood-related-living together, communal living in other words.
