Abstract

Starting in 2003 when the first MWE workshop was held with ACL in Sapporo, Japan, this year, the joint workshop of MWE-UD co-located with the LREC-COLING 2024 conference marked the 20th anniversary of MWE workshop events over the past nearly two decades. Standing at this milestone, we look back to this workshop series and summarise the research topics and methodologies researchers have carried out over the years. We also discuss the current challenges that we are facing and the broader impacts/synergies of MWE research within the CL and NLP fields. Finally, we give future research perspectives. We hope this position paper can help researchers, students, and industrial practitioners interested in MWE get a brief but easy understanding of its history, current, and possible future., Comment: ongoing work, position paper, 6 pages

Abstract

Current open-domain neural semantics parsers show impressive performance. However, closer inspection of the symbolic meaning representations they produce reveals significant weaknesses: sometimes they tend to merely copy character sequences from the source text to form symbolic concepts, defaulting to the most frequent word sense based in the training distribution. By leveraging the hierarchical structure of a lexical ontology, we introduce a novel compositional symbolic representation for concepts based on their position in the taxonomical hierarchy. This representation provides richer semantic information and enhances interpretability. We introduce a neural "taxonomical" semantic parser to utilize this new representation system of predicates, and compare it with a standard neural semantic parser trained on the traditional meaning representation format, employing a novel challenge set and evaluation metric for evaluation. Our experimental findings demonstrate that the taxonomical model, trained on much richer and complex meaning representations, is slightly subordinate in performance to the traditional model using the standard metrics for evaluation, but outperforms it when dealing with out-of-vocabulary concepts. This finding is encouraging for research in computational semantics that aims to combine data-driven distributional meanings with knowledge-based symbolic representations., Comment: This manuscript has been accepted by Computational Linguistics journal on 2024-09-07

Abstract

Three main topics were raised in this discussion session, which took place on the 19th of June at the NumHyp-2015 meeting: nonlinear resonance for 1D systems of balance laws, dispersive extensions of standard hyperbolic conservation laws, and the validation of weakly dispersive shallow water wave models. An introductory overview with many bibliographic references is provided for all these topics. Based on kinetic formulation, a numerical strategy that can overcome resonance issues is presented, and a well-balanced (WB) technique for Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equations is outlined. This WB scheme relies on the spectral representation of stationary solutions., Comment: 25 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, 83 references

11. Too Rigid, Too Big, and Too Slow: Institutional Readiness to Protect and Support Faculty from Technology Facilitated Violence and Abuse

Author

Chandell Gosse, Victoria O'Meara, Jaigris Hodson, and George Veletsianos

Abstract

Academic labor has expanded beyond the walls of academic institutions. Academics are expected to communicate with students online, use digital tools to complete their work, and share their research with broad audiences--often through online spaces like social media. Academics also face technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA) in these same spaces. When this happens, employers have a responsibility to protect and support workers. However, recent events have shown that universities are not always prepared to do so. We use data from a discourse analysis of harassment and discrimination policies and interviews with university managers (including Vice President Academics/Provost, Faculty Deans, and directors of human rights offices) to examine how prepared Canadian universities and colleges are to support academics targeted by TFVA. We found that institutions are unprepared in three ways: first, they focus on physical safety over non-contact harms; second, they envision perpetrators to be named, local, and part of the campus community; and third, the reporting process is cumbersome and outpaced by the speed and frequency with which TFVA occurs. We consider these findings in the context of work-overflow and context collapse to demonstrate how the institutional apparatus for maintaining a safe and respectful working environment has not expanded in kind with the extensification of contemporary academic labor.

12. Responsibility Perspective Transfer for Italian Femicide News

Author

Subjects
Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract

Different ways of linguistically expressing the same real-world event can lead to different perceptions of what happened. Previous work has shown that different descriptions of gender-based violence (GBV) influence the reader's perception of who is to blame for the violence, possibly reinforcing stereotypes which see the victim as partly responsible, too. As a contribution to raise awareness on perspective-based writing, and to facilitate access to alternative perspectives, we introduce the novel task of automatically rewriting GBV descriptions as a means to alter the perceived level of responsibility on the perpetrator. We present a quasi-parallel dataset of sentences with low and high perceived responsibility levels for the perpetrator, and experiment with unsupervised (mBART-based), zero-shot and few-shot (GPT3-based) methods for rewriting sentences. We evaluate our models using a questionnaire study and a suite of automatic metrics., Comment: Accepted for publication in Findings of ACL 2023

13. The Reading Challenges, Strategies, and Habits of University Students with a History of Reading Difficulties and Their Relations to Academic Achievement

Author

Abigail Howard-Gosse, Bradley W. Bergey, and S. Hélène Deacon

Abstract

Given the increase in students with learning disabilities entering university, we investigated a broader group--students with a history of reading difficulties (HRD)--who are known to be at risk of academic struggles. We identified the self-reported reading challenges and strategies of university students with HRD (n = 49) and those with no history of reading difficulties (NRD; n = 88) and examined group differences and relations with first-year grade point average (GPA). Students with HRD reported more difficulties with perceived reading comprehension, concentration, and reading speed than students with NRD. Groups differed in use of reading strategies: Students with HRD were descriptively more likely to reduce reading volume by using alternative materials and chose to read based on text length and availability of alternative materials. For both groups, reading completion and concentration strategies were positively related to GPA, while perceived difficulty with reading comprehension and choosing to read based on interest were negatively related to GPA. Some strategies were negatively associated with GPA for students with NRD, but not for students with HRD. Findings revealed the challenges that students with HRD experience with reading in university and identified strategies, potentially adaptive or maladaptive, that they used to manage their academic reading load.

14. Dead or Murdered? Predicting Responsibility Perception in Femicide News Reports

Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract

Different linguistic expressions can conceptualize the same event from different viewpoints by emphasizing certain participants over others. Here, we investigate a case where this has social consequences: how do linguistic expressions of gender-based violence (GBV) influence who we perceive as responsible? We build on previous psycholinguistic research in this area and conduct a large-scale perception survey of GBV descriptions automatically extracted from a corpus of Italian newspapers. We then train regression models that predict the salience of GBV participants with respect to different dimensions of perceived responsibility. Our best model (fine-tuned BERT) shows solid overall performance, with large differences between dimensions and participants: salient _focus_ is more predictable than salient _blame_, and perpetrators' salience is more predictable than victims' salience. Experiments with ridge regression models using different representations show that features based on linguistic theory similarly to word-based features. Overall, we show that different linguistic choices do trigger different perceptions of responsibility, and that such perceptions can be modelled automatically. This work can be a core instrument to raise awareness of the consequences of different perspectivizations in the general public and in news producers alike., Comment: Accepted for publication at AACL-IJCNLP 2022

15. Hyper-X: A Unified Hypernetwork for Multi-Task Multilingual Transfer

Abstract

Massively multilingual models are promising for transfer learning across tasks and languages. However, existing methods are unable to fully leverage training data when it is available in different task-language combinations. To exploit such heterogeneous supervision, we propose Hyper-X, a single hypernetwork that unifies multi-task and multilingual learning with efficient adaptation. This model generates weights for adapter modules conditioned on both tasks and language embeddings. By learning to combine task and language-specific knowledge, our model enables zero-shot transfer for unseen languages and task-language combinations. Our experiments on a diverse set of languages demonstrate that Hyper-X achieves the best or competitive gain when a mixture of multiple resources is available, while being on par with strong baselines in the standard scenario. Hyper-X is also considerably more efficient in terms of parameters and resources compared to methods that train separate adapters. Finally, Hyper-X consistently produces strong results in few-shot scenarios for new languages, showing the versatility of our approach beyond zero-shot transfer., Comment: Accepted at EMNLP 2022 (Main Conference)

Abstract

SOCIOFILLMORE is a multilingual tool which helps to bring to the fore the focus or the perspective that a text expresses in depicting an event. Our tool, whose rationale we also support through a large collection of human judgements, is theoretically grounded on frame semantics and cognitive linguistics, and implemented using the LOME frame semantic parser. We describe SOCIOFILLMORE's development and functionalities, show how non-NLP researchers can easily interact with the tool, and present some example case studies which are already incorporated in the system, together with the kind of analysis that can be visualised., Comment: Accepted for Demo Session at ACL 2022

Abstract

• Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare monogenic familial hypobetalipoproteinemia caused by bi-allelic variants in MTTP gene. • We identified four French-Canadian patients homozygous for the same MTTP variant. • The ABL carrier frequency in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean is estimated at 1:203. • This represents the 2nd highest worldwide carrier estimates for ABL. • Screening for ABL should be considered in this population. Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare recessive genetic disease caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) gene. This disease is characterized by a deficiency in the secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. Patients with ABL present with neurological, hematological, and gastrointestinal symptoms due to fat malabsorption and a deficiency in liposoluble vitamins. In this report, we present a total of four ABL cases, including three new cases, all originating from the same French-Canadian founder population in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, Canada. These individuals are homozygous for the same pathogenic variant in the MTTP gene (c.419dup, p.Asn140Lysfs*2). We found that this variant is more common than anticipated in this population, with an estimated carrier frequency of 1:203. Early diagnosis is essential to initiate treatment known to prevent complications associated with ABL. Population carrier screening or newborn screening for ABL should be considered in this French-Canadian founder population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article from History Ireland examines the concept of "whiteness" in Ireland after gaining independence. It acknowledges that Irish leaders and public discourse often perpetuated racist attitudes and language, while also recognizing that overt racism was viewed as un-Irish by many in Irish society. The article also explores the complex relationship between Irish Americans and African Americans, with some Irish Americans either ignoring or supporting Jim Crow segregation in the United States. It presents a nuanced view of racism in Ireland, acknowledging its presence while also highlighting instances of anti-colonialism and admiration for individual African Americans. The article emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing the legacies of racial exclusion in both the US and Ireland. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated a decrease in non-Covid-19 related diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in many countries. We explored the impact on tertiary hypertension care. Methods: We conducted an electronic survey regarding 6 key procedures in hypertension care within the Excellence Center network of the European Society of Hypertension. Results: Overall, 54 Excellence Centers from 18 European and 3 non-European countries participated. From 2019 to 2020, there were significant decreases in the median number per centre of ambulatory blood pressure monitorings (ABPM: 544/289 for 2019/2020), duplex ultrasound of renal arteries (Duplex RA: 88.5/55), computed tomographic/magnetic resonance imaging angiography of renal arteries (CT/MRI RA: 66/19.5), percutaneous angioplasties of renal arteries (PTA RA: 5/1), laboratory tests for catecholamines (116/67.5) and for renin/aldosterone (146/83.5) (p < 0.001 for all comparisons, respectively). While reductions in all assessed diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were observed in all annual 3-months periods in the comparisons between 2019 and 2020, the most pronounced reduction occurred between April and June 2020, which was the period of the first wave and the first lockdown in most affected countries. In this period, the median reductions in 2020, as compared to 2019, were 50.7% (ABPM), 47.1% (Duplex RA), 50% (CT/MRI RA), 57.1% (PTA RA), 46.9% (catecholamines) and 41.0% (renin/aldosterone), respectively. Overall differences in reduction between 3-month time intervals were statistically highly significant. Conclusion: Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to hypertension were dramatically reduced during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the largest reduction during the first lockdown. The long-term consequences regarding blood pressure control and, ultimately, cardiovascular events remain to be investigated.

Abstract

Background: Globally, overweight and obesity affect over one-third of the global population and it is projected that by 2030 obesity will affect more than half of the world population. The current burden of overweight and obesity is attributed to high rates of unhealthy eating and physical inactivity as it had also been revealed in Tanzania. The substantially increased prevalence of malnutrition at young ages is associated with a high incidence of non-communicable diseases in the young population and ultimately increased premature deaths. Objectives: This study aimed to assess eating habits, physical exercise patterns, and the overweight/obesity status among undergraduate students at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2022 by employing a stratified sampling technique to recruit 232 undergraduate nursing students. A selfadministered questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were used to obtain data which were finally analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 20.2%. Approximately 43% of the participants were physically inactive, with a higher proportion among females compared to males p=0.001. Male participants were more likely to perform physical exercises for a longer duration (≥ 30 minutes per day) compared to female participants, p=0.008. The consumption of more than three meals per day was associated with an increased odds of being overweight/obese than the consumption of three meals or less per day (OR: 3.11; 95%CI: 1.11-8.73). Similarly, the average long duration of sleeping per day (eight hours or more) was associated with an increased odds of being overweight/obese than sleeping less than eight hours per day (OR: 2.08; 95%CI: 1.06-4.11). Conclusions: The findings revealed high rates of unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity patterns and a significant prevalence of overweight/obesity. This indicates a need for developing actionable interventions and national health programs to promote healthy eating habits and physical activity, particularly among university students.

Abstract

BackgroundCognitive and executive deficits lead to worsening of quality of life and are a risk factor for developing dementia in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with psychosis (PDP). However, which key cognitive domains are differentially affected in PDP compared with those without (PDnP), remains unclear. Here, we examined this using a Bayesian meta-analytical approach.MethodsSearches were conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Medline and PsycINFO. Hedges’ g effect-size estimates were extracted from eligible studies as a measure of standard mean differences between PDP and PDnP participants. Meta-analyses were conducted separately for each cognitive domain and subdomain, we examined the effect of age, PD medications, PD duration and severity, depression and psychosis severity for all major domains with meta-regressions.ResultsEffect-size estimates suggest worse performance on all major domains (k=105 studies) in PDP compared with PDnP participants, with global cognition (k=103 studies, g=−0.57), processing speed (k=29 studies, g=−0.58), executive functions (k=33, g=−0.56), episodic memory (k=30 studies, g=−0.58) and perception (k=34 studies, g=−0.55) as the most likely affected domains. Age, depression and PD duration had moderating effects on task-related performance across most of the major nine domains.ConclusionsWe report extensive deficits across nine domains as well as subdomains in PD psychosis, with global cognition, processing speed and executive functions as the most likely impaired. The presence of depression may influence task-related performance in PDP, alongside age and PD duration, but not dose of dopamine replacement treatments.

40. Physical literacy and the participant perspective: Exploring the value of physical literacy according to individuals experiencing disability through composite narratives.

Author

Abstract

Physical literacy (PL) is essential to the holistic human experience, emphasizing embodied capability and affording opportunities for inclusive engagement. Despite its recent use as a core programming element, PL from the experiential point of view of individuals experiencing disability has yet to be explored. Excluding these perspectives promotes a culture of ableism, one that devalues the embodied capabilities of those experiencing the world differently. The purpose of this study was to highlight the participant perspective related to PL and explore the value individuals experiencing disability attribute to PL and its development. Using the communities of practice theoretical model of knowledge as a conceptual framework, 13 participants experiencing disability participated in two focus groups. Participants' experiences were thematized via the use of thematic analysis, and voices were portrayed through composite narratives, highlighting the shared participant experience and value associated with PL. Three themes emerged: (1) imagine the possibilities , (2) dance like nobody's watching , and (3) no wrong way to move. Composite narratives reflect PL as a valued means of exploration and learning, personal growth, and opportunity related to physical activity and social interaction. Participant value was considered to be enhanced via a learning climate affording opportunities for developing autonomy and a sense of belonging. This research provides an authentic understanding of PL within the context of disability, and what might be used to facilitate its development in such an environment. Individuals experiencing disability contributed to this knowledge and must be continually involved to ensure PL development is inclusive to all. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Resistant hypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The endothelin pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, but it is currently not targeted therapeutically, thereby leaving this relevant pathophysiological pathway unopposed with currently available drugs. The aim of the study was to assess the blood pressure lowering efficacy of the dual endothelin antagonist aprocitentan in patients with resistant hypertension. Methods: PRECISION was a multicentre, blinded, randomised, parallel-group, phase 3 study, which was done in hospitals or research centres in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Patients were eligible for randomisation if their sitting systolic blood pressure was 140 mm Hg or higher despite taking standardised background therapy consisting of three antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic. The study consisted of three sequential parts: part 1 was the 4-week double-blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled part, in which patients received aprocitentan 12·5 mg, aprocitentan 25 mg, or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio; part 2 was a 32-week single (patient)-blind part, in which all patients received aprocitentan 25 mg; and part 3 was a 12-week double-blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled withdrawal part, in which patients were re-randomised to aprocitentan 25 mg or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The primary and key secondary endpoints were changes in unattended office systolic blood pressure from baseline to week 4 and from withdrawal baseline to week 40, respectively. Secondary endpoints included 24-h ambulatory blood pressure changes. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03541174. Findings: The PRECISION study was done from June 18, 2018, to April 25, 2022. 1965 individuals were screened and 730 were randomly assigned. Of these 730 patients, 704 (96%) completed part 1 of the study; of these, 613 (87%) completed part 2 and, of these, 577 (94%) completed part 3 of the study. The least square m

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated a decrease in non-Covid-19 related diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in many countries. We explored the impact on tertiary hypertension care. METHODS: We conducted an electronic survey regarding 6 key procedures in hypertension care within the Excellence Center network of the European Society of Hypertension. RESULTS: Overall, 54 Excellence Centers from 18 European and 3 non-European countries participated. From 2019 to 2020, there were significant decreases in the median number per centre of ambulatory blood pressure monitorings (ABPM: 544/289 for 2019/2020), duplex ultrasound of renal arteries (Duplex RA: 88.5/55), computed tomographic/magnetic resonance imaging angiography of renal arteries (CT/MRI RA: 66/19.5), percutaneous angioplasties of renal arteries (PTA RA: 5/1), laboratory tests for catecholamines (116/67.5) and for renin/aldosterone (146/83.5) (p

Abstract

Single-molecule data are of great significance in biology, chemistry, and medicine. However, new experimental tools to characterize, in a multiplexed manner, protein bond rupture under force are still needed. Acoustic force spectroscopy is an emerging manipulation technique which generates acoustic waves to apply force in parallel on multiple microbeads tethered to a surface. We here exploit this configuration in combination with the recently developed modular junctured-DNA scaffold that has been designed to study protein-protein interactions at the single-molecule level. By applying repetitive constant force steps on the FKBP12-rapamycin-FRB complex, we measure its unbinding kinetics under force at the single-bond level. Special efforts are made in analyzing the data to identify potential pitfalls. We propose a calibration method allowing in situ force determination during the course of the unbinding measurement. We compare our results with well-established techniques, such as magnetic tweezers, to ensure their accuracy. We also apply our strategy to study the force-dependent rupture of a single-domain antibody with its antigen. Overall, we get a good agreement with the published parameters that have been obtained at zero force and population level. Thus, our technique offers single-molecule precision for multiplexed measurements of interactions of biotechnological and medical interest.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Ultrasound renal denervation (uRDN) was shown to lower blood pressure (BP) in patients with uncontrolled hypertension (HTN). Establishing the magnitude and consistency of the uRDN effect across the HTN spectrum is clinically important. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the effectiveness and safety of uRDN vs a sham procedure from individual patient-level pooled data across uRDN trials including either patients with mild to moderate HTN on a background of no medications or with HTN resistant to standardized triple-combination therapy. DATA SOURCES: A Study of the ReCor Medical Paradise System in Clinical Hypertension (RADIANCE-HTN SOLO and TRIO) and A Study of the ReCor Medical Paradise System in Stage II Hypertension (RADIANCE II) trials. STUDY SELECTION: Trials with similar designs, standardized operational implementation (medication standardization and blinding of both patients and physicians to treatment assignment), and follow-up. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Pooled analysis using individual patient-level data using linear regression models to compare uRDN with sham across the trials. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was baseline-adjusted change in 2-month daytime ambulatory systolic BP (dASBP) between groups. RESULTS: A total of 506 patients were randomized in the 3 studies (uRDN, 293; sham, 213; mean [SD] age, 54.1 [9.3]; 354 male [70.0%]). After a 1-month medication stabilization period, dASBP was similar between the groups (mean [SD], uRDN, 150.3 [9.2] mm Hg; sham, 150.8 [10.5] mm Hg). At 2 months, dASBP decreased by 8.5 mm Hg to mean (SD) 141.8 (13.8) mm Hg among patients treated with uRDN and by 2.9 mm Hg to 147.9 (14.6) mm Hg among patients treated with a sham procedure (mean difference, −5.9; 95% CI, −8.1 to −3.8 mm Hg; P &lt; .001 in favor of uRDN). BP decreases from baseline with uRDN vs sham were consistent across trials and across BP parameters (office SBP: −10.4 mm Hg vs −3.4 mm Hg; mean difference, −6.4 mm Hg; 95% CI, −9.1 to –3.6 mm Hg; home SBP: −8.4 mm Hg vs −1.4 mm Hg; mean difference, −6.8 mm Hg; 95% CI, −8.7 to −4.9 mm Hg, respectively). The BP reductions with uRDN vs sham were consistent across prespecified subgroups. Independent predictors of a larger BP response to uRDN were higher baseline BP and heart rate and the presence of orthostatic hypertension. No differences in early safety end points were observed between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results of this patient-level pooled analysis suggest that BP reductions with uRDN were consistent across HTN severity in sham-controlled trials designed with a 2-month primary end point to standardize medications across randomized groups.

48. Dapsone-Induced Granulomatous Cholestatic Hepatitis Unmasked by Steroid Taper: A Case Report

Author

Prakash, Shahana, Gosse, Matthew, and Tanaka, Tomohiro

Abstract

Introduction:Dapsone is known to cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI) but can rarely induce the formation of hepatic granulomas. We describe a patient with jaundice who demonstrated granulomas on liver biopsy in response to dapsone. Her symptoms were only evident once steroids, used to also treat her pyoderma gangrenosum, had been tapered. Case Presentation:In this case, a 67-year-old female was hospitalized due to 1 day of jaundice. She had started dapsone and prednisone concurrently 7 weeks ago to treat her pyoderma gangrenosum. Steroids were discontinued 4 days prior to symptoms. Her laboratories were notable for newly elevated alkaline phosphatase (756 U/L), aspartate transaminase (199 U/L), alanine transaminase (273 U/L), and total bilirubin (12.6 mg/dL). Dapsone was held due to suspicion for DILI. A liver biopsy was performed and disclosed non-necrotizing hepatic granulomas. After infectious and autoimmune causes were excluded, dapsone was determined to be the cause of her hepatic granulomas. Her bilirubin and liver enzymes steadily normalized over the next 4 weeks following discontinuation of dapsone. Conclusion:Thus, dapsone-related liver injury may present following a steroid taper if dapsone and steroids had been initially started together. Hepatic granulomas, though rare, can be seen when dapsone causes DILI.

Abstract

Primary tumor site determination for gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pancreaticobiliary (PB) tree carcinomas that present as metastasis of unknown primary can be problematic. Annexin A10 (ANXA10), claudin 18 (CLDN18), and trefoil factor 1 (TFF1) have been identified through expression profiling as markers of gastric lineage commitment; sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2) expression has been reported in several tumor types, including gastric adenocarcinomas. We evaluated the diagnostic utility of immunohistochemistry for ANXA10, CLDN18, SOX2, and TFF1 for determining the site of origin for GI/PB adenocarcinomas. Immunohistochemistry for all 4 markers was performed on tissue microarrays including 559 GI/PB tumors and 421 other tumors. H-scores were calculated as the product of the intensity (0 to 3) and extent (percentage, 0% to 100%) of staining. Positive staining was defined as >5% staining. ANXA10 expression was most frequent in pancreatic adenocarcinomas when compared with all other GI/PB tumors (96.4% vs. 43.5%, P<0.001). Strong staining for ANXA10 (H-score ≥200) distinguished pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and adenocarcinomas of the gallbladder and colorectum (69.6% vs. 0%, P<0.001). Triple positivity for ANXA10, CLDN18, and SOX2 was more frequent in esophagogastric tumors than in other GI/PB tumors (22.6% vs. 4.1%; P<0.001). TFF1 expression was observed in nearly all tumor types. Staining for ANXA10, CLDN18, and SOX2 as part of a panel may aid in distinguishing esophagogastric adenocarcinomas from lower GI/PB tumors. ANXA10 staining may be particularly useful in distinguishing pancreatic adenocarcinomas from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and adenocarcinomas of the gallbladder and colorectum.
