2. Building a Norwegian Lexical Resource for Medical Entity Recognition

Author

Pilán, Ildikó, Brekke, Pål H., and Øvrelid, Lilja

Subjects
Computer Science - Computation and Language
Abstract

We present a large Norwegian lexical resource of categorized medical terms. The resource merges information from large medical databases, and contains over 77,000 unique entries, including automatically mapped terms from a Norwegian medical dictionary. We describe the methodology behind this automatic dictionary entry mapping based on keywords and suffixes and further present the results of a manual evaluation performed on a subset by a domain expert. The evaluation indicated that ca. 80% of the mappings were correct.

7. The skew-t factor analysis model

Author

Lin, Tsung-I, Wu, Pal H., McLachlan, Geoffrey J., and Lee, Sharon X.

Subjects
Statistics - Methodology
Abstract

Factor analysis is a classical data reduction technique that seeks a potentially lower number of unobserved variables that can account for the correlations among the observed variables. This paper presents an extension of the factor analysis model by assuming jointly a restricted version of multivariate skew t distribution for the latent factors and unobservable errors, called the skew-t factor analysis model. The proposed model shows robustness to violations of normality assumptions of the underlying latent factors and provides flexibility in capturing extra skewness as well as heavier tails of the observed data. A computationally feasible ECM algorithm is developed for computing maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. The usefulness of the proposed methodology is illustrated by a real-life example and results also demonstrates its better performance over various existing methods.

8. Resistivity of non-Galilean-invariant Fermi- and non-Fermi liquids

Abstract

While it is well-known that the electron-electron (\emph{ee}) interaction cannot affect the resistivity of a Galilean-invariant Fermi liquid (FL), the reverse statement is not necessarily true: the resistivity of a non-Galilean-invariant FL does not necessarily follow a T^2 behavior. The T^2 behavior is guaranteed only if Umklapp processes are allowed; however, if the Fermi surface (FS) is small or the electron-electron interaction is of a very long range, Umklapps are suppressed. In this case, a T^2 term can result only from a combined--but distinct from quantum-interference corrections-- effect of the electron-impurity and \emph{ee} interactions. Whether the T^2 term is present depends on 1) dimensionality (two dimensions (2D) vs three dimensions (3D)), 2) topology (simply- vs multiply-connected), and 3) shape (convex vs concave) of the FS. In particular, the T^2 term is absent for any quadratic (but not necessarily isotropic) spectrum both in 2D and 3D. The T^2 term is also absent for a convex and simply-connected but otherwise arbitrarily anisotropic FS in 2D. The origin of this nullification is approximate integrability of the electron motion on a 2D FS, where the energy and momentum conservation laws do not allow for current relaxation to leading --second--order in T/E_F (E_F is the Fermi energy). If the T^2 term is nullified by the conservation law, the first non-zero term behaves as T^4. The same applies to a quantum-critical metal in the vicinity of a Pomeranchuk instability, with a proviso that the leading (first non-zero) term in the resistivity scales as T^{\frac{D+2}{3}} (T^{\frac{D+8}{3}}). We discuss a number of situations when integrability is weakly broken, e.g., by inter-plane hopping in a quasi-2D metal or by warping of the FS as in the surface states of Bi_2Te_3 family of topological insulators., Comment: Submitted to a special issue of the Lithuanian Journal of Physics dedicated to the memory of Y.

9. Effect of Electron-electron Interaction on Surface Transport in Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators

Abstract

We study the effect of electron-electron interaction on the surface resistivity of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators. In the absence of umklapp scattering, the existence of the Fermi-liquid ($T^2$) term in resistivity of a two-dimensional (2D) metal depends on the Fermi surface geometry, in particular, on whether it is convex or concave. On doping, the Fermi surface of 2D metallic surface states in 3D topological insulators of the Bi$_2$Te$_3$ family changes its shape from convex to concave due to hexagonal warping, while still being too small to allow for umklapp scattering. We show that the $T^2$ term in the resistivity is present only in the concave regime and demonstrate that the resistivity obeys a universal scaling form valid for an arbitrary 2D Fermi surface near a convex/concave transition., Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures

10. Necessary and sufficient condition for longitudinal magnetoresistance

Abstract

Since the Lorentz force is perpendicular to the magnetic field, it should not affect the motion of a charge along the field. This argument seems to imply absence of longitudinal magnetoresistance (LMR) which is, however, observed in many materials and reproduced by standard semiclassical transport theory applied to particular metals. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition on the shape of the Fermi surface for non-zero LMR. Although an anisotropic spectrum is a pre-requisite for LMR, not all types of anisotropy can give rise to the effect: a spectrum should not be separable in any sense. More precisely, the combination $k_{\rho}v_{\phi}/v_{\rho}$, where $k_\rho$ is the radial component of the momentum in a cylindrical system with the z-axis along the magnetic field and $v_{\rho} (v_{\phi}$) is the radial (tangential) component of the velocity, should depend on the momentum along the field. For some lattice types, this condition is satisfied already at the level of nearest-neighbor hopping; for others, the required non-separabality occurs only if next-to-nearest-neighbor hopping is taken into account., Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures

11. Supermetallic conductivity in bromine-intercalated graphite

Abstract

Exposure of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite to bromine vapor gives rise to in-plane charge conductivities which increase monotonically with intercalation time toward values (for ~6 at% Br) that are significantly higher than Cu at temperatures down to 5 K. Magnetotransport, optical reflectivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm that the Br dopes the graphene sheets with holes while simultaneously increasing the interplanar separation. The increase of mobility (~ 5E4 cm^2/Vs at T=300 K) and resistance anisotropy together with the reduced diamagnetic susceptibility of the intercalated samples suggests that the observed supermetallic conductivity derives from a parallel combination of weakly-coupled hole-doped graphene sheets., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures

12. Graphite in the bi-layer regime: in-plane transport

Author

Gutman, D. B., Tongay, S., Pal, H. K., Maslov, D. L., and Hebard, A. F.

Subjects
Condensed Matter - Materials Science
Abstract

An interplay between the increase in the number of carriers and the decrease in the scattering time is expected to result in a saturation of the in-plane resistivity, $\rho_{ab}$, in graphite above room temperature. Contrary to this expectation, we observe a pronounced increase in $\rho_{ab}$ in the interval between 300 and 900 K. We provide a theory of this effect based on intervalley scattering of charge carriers by high-frequency, graphene-like optical phonons., Comment: 5 pages, 2 fig

13. A Fortran 90 program to solve the Hartree-Fock equations for interacting spin-1/2 Fermions confined in Harmonic potentials

Author

Abstract

A set of weakly interacting spin-1/2 Fermions, confined by a harmonic oscillator potential, and interacting with each other via a contact potential, is a model system which closely represents the physics of a dilute gas of two-component Fermionic atoms confined in a magneto-optic trap. In the present work, our aim is to present a Fortran 90 computer program which, using a basis set expansion technique, solves the Hartree-Fock (HF) equations for spin-1/2$ Fermions confined by a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, and interacting with each other via pair-wise delta-function potentials. Additionally, the program can also account for those anharmonic potentials which can be expressed as a polynomial in the position operators $x,$ $y$, and $z$. Both the restricted-HF (RHF), and the unrestricted-HF (UHF) equations can be solved for a given number of Fermions, with either repulsive or attractive interactions among them. The option of UHF solutions for such systems also allows us to study possible magnetic properties of the physics of two-component confined atomic Fermi gases, with imbalanced populations. Using our code we also demonstrate that such a system exhibits shell structure, and follows Hund's rule., Comment: 19 pages and 2 figures

Abstract

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter with cardioprotective and antiviral effects. In this work, new cysteine-selective nucleoside-H2S-donor hybrid molecules were prepared by conjugating nucleoside biomolecules with a thiol-activatable dithioacetyl group. 5′-Dithioacetate derivatives were synthesized from the canonical nucleosides (uridine, adenosine, cytidine, guanosine and thymidine), and the putative 5′-thio metabolites were also produced from uridine and adenosine. According to our measurements made with an H2S-specific sensor, nucleoside dithioacetates are moderately fast H2S donors, the guanosine derivative showed the fastest kinetics and the adenosine derivative the slowest. The antioxidant activity of 5′-thionucleosides is significantly higher than that of trolox, but lower than that of ascorbic acid, while intact dithioacetates have no remarkable antioxidant effect. In human Calu cells, the guanosine derivative showed a moderate anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect which was also confirmed by virus yield reduction assay. Dithioacetyl-adenosine and its metabolite showed similar acute cardiac effects as adenosine, however, it is noteworthy that both 5′-thio modified adenosines increased left ventricular ejection fraction or stroke volume, which was not observed with native adenosine.

Abstract

Abstract Mental health is vital to human well-being, and prevention strategies to address mental illness have a significant impact on the burden of disease and quality of life. With the recent developments in body-worn sensors, it is now possible to continuously collect data that can be used to gain insights into mental health states. This has the potential to optimize psychiatric assessment, thereby improving patient experiences and quality of life. However, access to high-quality medical data for research purposes is limited, especially regarding diagnosed psychiatric patients. To this extent, we present the OBF-Psychiatric dataset which comprises motor activity recordings of patients with bipolar and unipolar major depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The dataset also contains data from a clinical sample diagnosed with various mood and anxiety disorders, as well as a healthy control group, making it suitable for building machine learning models and other analytical tools. It contains recordings from 162 individuals totalling 1565 days worth of motor activity data with a mean of 9.6 days per individual.

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with chronic fatigue (CF) in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Patients and methods: Participants were included from the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (DCCSS) LATER cohort, a nationwide cohort of CCS (≥5 years after diagnosis) and siblings as controls. Fatigue severity was assessed with the ‘fatigue severity subscale’ of the Checklist Individual Strength (‘CIS-fatigue’). CF was defined as scoring ≥35 on the ‘CIS-fatigue’ and having fatigue symptoms for ≥6 months. Twenty-four parameters were assessed, categorized into assumed fatigue triggering, maintaining and moderating factors. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out to investigate the association of these factors with CF. Results: A total of 1927 CCS participated in the study (40.7% of invited cohort), of whom 23.6% reported CF (compared with 15.6% in sibling controls, P < 0.001). The following factors were associated with CF: obesity [versus healthy weight, odds ratio (OR) 1.93; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30-2.87], moderate physical inactivity (versus physical active, OR 2.36; 95% CI 1.67-3.34), poor sleep (yes versus no, OR 2.03; 95% CI 1.54-2.68), (sub)clinical anxiety (yes versus no, OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.10-2.19), (sub)clinical depression (yes versus no, OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.20-3.59), pain (continuous, OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.33-1.66), self-esteem (continuous, OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.92-0.98), helplessness (continuous, OR 1.13; 95% CI 1.08-1.19), social functioning (continuous, OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.97-0.99) and female sex (versus male sex, OR 1.79; 95% CI 1.36-2.37). Conclusion: CF is a prevalent symptom in CCS that is associated with several assumed maintaining factors, with lifestyle and psychosocial factors being the most prominent. These are modifiable factors and may therefore be beneficial to prevent or reduce CF in CCS.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) on clinical reproductive markers and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This study was embedded within the DCOG LATER-VEVO study; a Dutch, multicenter, retrospective cohort study between 2004 and 2014. Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B, antral follicle count (AFC), and self-reported (first) pregnancy outcomes were evaluated in female childhood HL survivors and controls. Results: 84 HL survivors and 798 controls were included, aged 29.6 and 32.7 years old at time of assessment. Median age at HL diagnosis was 13.4 years. Cyclophosphamide equivalent dose (CED-score) exceeded 6000 mg/m2 in 56 women and 14 survivors received pelvic irradiation. All clinical markers were significantly deteriorated in survivors (odds-ratio for low AMH (< p10) 10.1 [95% CI 4.9; 20.6]; low AFC (< p10) 4.6 [95% CI 2.1; 9.9]; elevated FSH (> 10 IU/l) 15.3 [95% CI 5.7; 41.1], low Inhibin B (< 20 ng/l) 3.6 [95% CI 1.7; 7.7], p < 0.001). Pregnancy outcomes were comparable between survivors and controls (± 80% live birth, ± 20% miscarriage). However, survivors were significantly younger at first pregnancy (27.0 years vs 29.0 years, P = 0.04). Adjusted odds-ratio for time to pregnancy > 12 months was 2.5 [95% CI 1.1; 5.6] in survivors, p = 0.031. Adverse outcomes were specifically present after treatment with procarbazine and higher CED-score. Conclusion:HL survivors appear to have an impaired ovarian reserve. However, chance to achieve pregnancy seems reassuring at a young age. Additional follow-up studies are needed to assess fertile life span and reproductive potential of HL survivors, in particular for current HL treatments that are hypothesized to be less gonadotoxic.

Abstract

Abstract Background Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) provides quantification of left ventricular (LV) deformation and is useful in the assessment of LV function. STE is increasingly being used clinically, and every effort to simplify and standardize STE is important. Manual outlining of regions of interest (ROIs) is labor intensive and may influence assessment of strain values. Purpose We hypothesized that a deep learning (DL) model, trained on clinical echocardiographic exams, can be combined with a readily available echocardiographic analysis software, to automate strain calculation with comparable fidelity to trained cardiologists. Methods Data consisted of still frame echocardiographic images with cardiologist-defined ROIs from 672 clinical echocardiographic exams from a university hospital outpatient clinic. Exams included patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, and conduction abnormalities, and some healthy subjects. An EfficientNetB1-based architecture was employed, and different techniques and properties including data set size, data quality, augmentations, and transfer learning were evaluated. DL predicted ROIs were reintroduced into commercially available echocardiographic analysis software to automatically calculate strain values. Results DL-automated strain calculations had an average absolute difference of 0.75 (95% CI 0.58–0.92) for global longitudinal strain (GLS), and 1.16 (95% CI 1.03–1.29) for single-projection longitudinal strain (LS), compared to operators. A Bland–Altman plot revealed no obvious bias, though there were fewer outliers in the lower average LS ranges. Techniques and data properties yielded no significant increase/decrease in performance. Conclusion The study demonstrates that DL-assisted, automated strain measurements are feasible, and provide results within interobserver variation. Employing DL in echocardiographic analyses could further facilitate adoption of STE parameters in clinical practice and research, and improve reproducibility.

Abstract

Background Studies about support needs of young adult childhood cancer survivors (YACCS) previously focused mainly on information needs. This study assessed support needs and associated factors (sociodemographic, medical, and psychosocial functioning) in Dutch YACCS. Methods YACCS (aged 18–30, diagnosed ≤ 18 years, time since diagnosis ≥ 5 years) cross-sectionally filled out a questionnaire regarding their need for various types of support (concrete information, personal counseling, and peer contact) in eight domains (physical consequences of childhood cancer, social-emotional consequences, relationships and sexuality, fertility, lifestyle, school and work, future perspective, insurance and mortgage), and questionnaires assessing health-related quality of life (PedsQL-YA), anxiety and depression (HADS), and fatigue (CIS-20R). Descriptive statistics were used to describe support needs. Linear regression was used to identify characteristics associated with support needs. Results One hundred fifty-one YACCS participated (response = 40%). Most YACCS reported a need for support in one or more domains (88.0%, N = 133). More than half of the participants reported a need for concrete information in the domains lifestyle, fertility, and physical consequences of childhood cancer and 25–50% in the domains insurance and mortgages, future perspective, and social-emotional consequences of childhood cancer. In the domains lifestyle and physical as well as emotional consequences of childhood cancer, 25–50% reported a need for counseling. Overall need for support was positively associated with middle (β = 0.26, p = 0.024) and high (β = 0.35, p = 0.014) compared to low educational attainment and (sub)clinical anxiety (β = 0.22, p = 0.017), and negatively associated with social functioning (β = − 0.37, p = 0.002) in multivariate analyses. Conclusion YACCS report the strongest need for support, for concrete information, in the domains lifestyle, fertility, and physical consequences of childhood cancer. Associated factors were mostly socioeconomic and psychosocial in nature. Psychosocial care should be an integral part of survivorship care for YACCS, with screening for psychosocial problems, information provision including associated emotional consequences and support if necessary (psycho-education) and tailored interventions, and adequate referrals to more specialized care if necessary.

Abstract

Many long-term childhood cancer survivors suffer from treatment-related late effects, which may occur in any organ and include a wide spectrum of conditions. Long-term follow up (LTFU) is recommended to facilitate early diagnosis and to ensure better health outcomes. Due to the heterogeneity of these sequelae, different specialists work together in diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Experts from both pediatric and internal medicine are involved in age-appropriate care by providing a transition process. Hence, LTFU of childhood cancer survivors is a prototypic example for multidisciplinary care of patients with complex needs treated in a specialized setting. International collaborations of health care professionals and scientists involved in LTFU of childhood cancer survivors, such as the International Guideline Harmonization Group, compile surveillance recommendations that can be clinically adopted all over the world. These global networks of clinicians and researchers make a joint effort to address gaps in knowledge, increase visibility and awareness of cancer survivorship and provide an excellent example of how progress in clinical care and scientific research may be achieved by international and multidisciplinary collaboration., + ID der Publikation: unilu_59783 + Sprache: Englisch + Letzte Aktualisierung: 2022-09-26 16:50:48

Abstract

Abstract Data analysis for athletic performance optimization and injury prevention is of tremendous interest to sports teams and the scientific community. However, sports data are often sparse and hard to obtain due to legal restrictions, unwillingness to share, and lack of personnel resources to be assigned to the tedious process of data curation. These constraints make it difficult to develop automated systems for analysis, which require large datasets for learning. We therefore present SoccerMon, the largest soccer athlete dataset available today containing both subjective and objective metrics, collected from two different elite women’s soccer teams over two years. Our dataset contains 33,849 subjective reports and 10,075 objective reports, the latter including over six billion GPS position measurements. SoccerMon can not only play a valuable role in developing better analysis and prediction systems for soccer, but also inspire similar data collection activities in other domains which can benefit from subjective athlete reports, GPS position information, and/or time-series data in general.

Abstract

This paper describes an efficient charging method for a supercapacitor-operated, solar-powered wireless sensor node called Everlast. Unlike traditional wireless sensors that store energy in batteries, Everlast's use of supercapacitors enables the system to operate for an estimated lifetime of 20 years without any maintenance. The novelty of this system lies in the feed-forward, pulse frequency modulated converter and open-circuit solar voltage method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT), enabling the solar cell to efficiently charge the supercapacitor and power the node. Experimental results show that by its low-complexity MPPT, Everlast can achieve over 89% conversion efficiency with lower power overhead than the state-of-the-art by two orders of magnitude, while enabling charging a supercapacitor up to 400% faster than direct charging. This makes Everlast particularly applicable to miniature-scale, high-impedance energy harvesting systems. Index Terms--Energy harvesting, maximum power point tracking (MPPT), solar power, supercapacitor, wireless sensor node (WSN).

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 244604.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access), BACKGROUND: The aim was to evaluate self-reported reproductive characteristics and markers of ovarian function in a nationwide cohort of female survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), because prior investigations have produced conflicting data. PROCEDURE: Self-reported reproductive characteristics were assessed by questionnaire among 357 adult 5-year survivors, treated between 1964 and 2002, and 836 controls. Ovarian function was assessed by serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and inhibin B and by antral follicle count (AFC). Differences between controls and (subgroups of) survivors (total group, chemotherapy [CT]-only group, CT and radiotherapy [RT] group) were analyzed. RESULTS: Survivors treated with CT only do not differ from controls regarding timing of menarche, virginity status, desire for children, or pregnancy rates. Compared to controls, the CT+RT group was at significantly increased risk of a younger age at menarche (P < .01), virginity, an absent desire for children, and lower pregnancy rates (odds ratio [OR] [95% CI]: 0.3 [CI 0.1-0.6], 0.5 [0.3-0.9], and 0.4 [0.2-0.9], respectively). Survivors in the CT-only group were significantly younger at the birth of their first child. Pregnancy outcomes were not significantly different between any (sub)groups. Survivors treated with total body irradiation (TBI) or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at increased risk of abnormal markers of ovarian function. CONCLUSION: Reproductive function of ALL survivors treated with CT only does not differ from controls. However, survivors additionally treated with RT seem to be at an increased risk of certain adverse reproductive outcomes. Providing personalized counseling about (future) reproductive health risks in this group is imperative.

Abstract

Background: Potential late effects of treatment for childhood cancer include adiposity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. These risk factors cluster together as metabolic syndrome and increase the risk for development of diabetes mellitus and cardio- and cerebrovascular disease. Knowledge on risk factors, timely diagnosis, and preventive strategies is of importance to prevent cardio- and cerebrovascular complications and improve quality of life. Currently, no national cohort studies on the prevalence and determinants of metabolic syndrome in childhood cancer survivors, including biomarkers and genetic predisposition, are available. Objective: The objectives of the Dutch LATER METS study are to assess 1) the prevalence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome and its separate components, and 2) the potential diagnostic and predictive value of additional biomarkers for surveillance of metabolic syndrome in the national cohort of adult long-term survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract

Background: Ototoxicity (hearing loss, tinnitus and/or vertigo) is a serious adverse event of cisplatin treatment in children with cancer. The heterogeneity in ototoxicity occurrence after similar treatment suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. This study investigated the association between carriership of novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) in childhood cancer patients.Material and methods: The discovery cohort included cisplatin treated, non-cranial irradiated pediatric cancer patients within the European PanCareLIFE (PCL) study (N=390). CIHL at end of cancer treatment was defined as Muenster grade >=2b, assessed by pure tone audiometry. DNA was genotyped using the Infinium© Global Screening Array. Logistic regression models were applied including age at diagnosis, sex, cisplatin total cumulative dose and principal components 1-4, assuming an additive effect of the minor allele. Replication of the findings was performed in two independent, similarly treated cohorts (N=192 and N=188). Functional validation experiments in cultured human HeLa cell lines were performed to determine the effect of knockdown of the SNPs nearest identified gene on cisplatin-induced toxicity.Results: In the PCL discovery cohort, 8 SNPs reached a suggestive significance of P<1.0x10-5. One variant (rs893507) within the TCERG1L gene showed evidence of replication (P=0.01) in the Canadian first replication cohort. Analysis in the PCL second replication cohort confirmed this finding (P=1.0x10-4). The combined analysis showed that carriership of the C-allele of this newly discovered variant increases the odds of CIHL with 3.11-fold (P=5.3x10-10, 95% CI 2.2-4.5). Modulating TCERG1L expression significantly altered cell viability in response to cisplatin treatment, where TCERG1L overexpression and silencing protected and sensitized cells to cisplatin toxicity, respectively.Discussion: Children with cancer who carry a variant in the TCERG1L g
