Disease Named Entity Recognition in Medical Records: Analysis of Transfer Learning between Different Hospital Departments (Preprint)
Authors: Lee Jong-Kang , Huang Jue-Ni , Lin Kun-Ju , Tsai Richard Tzong-Han
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Electronic records provide rich clinical information for biomedical text mining. However, a system developed on one hospital department may not generalize to other departments. Here, we use hospital medical records as a research data source and explore the heterogeneous problem posed by different hospital departments.

OBJECTIVE

We use MIMIC-III hospital medical records as the research data source. We collaborate with medical experts to annotate the data, with 328 records being included in analyses. Disease named entity recognition (NER), which helps medical experts in consolidating diagnoses, is undertaken as a case study.

METHODS

To compare heterogeneity of medical records across departments, we access text from multiple departments and employ the similarity metrics. We apply transfer learning to NER in different departments’ records and test the correlation between performance and similarity metrics. We use TF-IDF cosine similarity of the named entities as our similarity metric. We use three pretrained model on the disease NER task to valid the consistency of the result.

RESULTS

The disease NER dataset we release consists of 328 medical records from MIMIC-III, with 95629 sentences and 8884 disease mentions in total. The inter annotator agreement Cohen’s kappa coefficient is 0.86. Similarity metrics support that medical records from different departments are heterogeneous, ranges from 0.1004 to 0.3541 compare to Medical department. In the transfer learning task using the Medical department as the training set, F1 score performs in three pretrained models average from 0.847 to 0.863. F1 scores correlate with similarity metrics with Spearman’s coefficient of 0.4285.

CONCLUSIONS

We propose a disease NER dataset based on medical records from MIMIC-III and demonstrate the effectiveness of transfer learning using BERT. Similarity metrics reveal noticeable heterogeneity between department records. The deep learning-based transfer learning method demonstrates good ability to generalize across departments and achieve decent NER performance thus eliminates the concern that training material from one hospital might compromise model performance when applied to another. However, the model performance does not show high correlation to the departments’ similarity.

Narrative Boundaries Annotation Guide
Authors: Eisenberg Joshua D. , Finlayson Mark
Published: December 2021

It is rare for a story to have only a single narrative level: in fact, even the simplest stories usually contain multiple nested

stories. The following is an annotation guide for encoding the boundaries between narrative levels, and which has been

validated on modern fiction and TV scripts. We provided definitions of and give instructions for annotating information about each narrative level: embedded narratives, interruptive narrative, flashbacks (analepsis), and flashforwards (prolepsis). This annotation schema can be used for many types of narratological and computational research, however our intention in developing it was to lay the foundation for training computers to automatically extract narrative levels from long text.
Annotation Guidelines For narrative levels, time features, and subjective narration styles in fiction (SANTA 2)
Authors: Kearns Edward
Published: December 2021

These guidelines comprise instructions for the usage of a series of markup tags that describe narrative characteristics of fiction. These tags are used to mark disruptions in narration, in the form of narrative level changes, temporal jumps, and instances of subjective narration. The tags are designed to be used in XML, as is the case in the examples in these guidelines, but they can be adapted for other platforms like CATMA. There are six tags:  (for a narrative level change, an occurrence of a story within a story),  (a flashback),  (a flash forward in story time),  (stream of consciousness), and  (free indirect discourse). The guidelines first describe the narrative concepts represented by each of the tags, with reference to Genette and other narratologists. There follows some detail on how the tags should be used specifically in the encoding of texts, with examples taken from a corpus of modernist fiction. Essentially, the tags should be applied at the points in the text where the relevant instance of narrative disruption begins and ends. This allows them the encoded text to be analysed

afterwards to count the frequency of the tags, and the number of words contained within a tag. In this way, the usage of the

tags serves as a method for quantifying the extent of narrative disruption in works of fiction.
Annotation Guideline No. 7 (revised): Guidelines for annotation of narrative structure
Authors: Wirén Mats , Ek Adam
Published: December 2021

Analysis of narrative structure can be said to answer the question “Who tells what, and how?”. The key part of our annotation scheme is related to the “who?”, and to this end we distinguish between narration and fictional dialogue. Furthermore, with respect to the latter we keep track of turns, lines, identities of speakers and addressees, and speech-framing constructions, which provide the narrator’s cues about the circumstances of the speech. We also annotate voice, that is, whether the narrator is ever present in the story or not. Our annotation of the “what?” includes embeddings of narrative transmission levels to capture stories in stories, and embeddings of fictional dialogue to capture characters quoting other characters. Our annotation of the “how?” includes focalization, that is, the perspective from which the narrative is seen and how much information the narrator has access to.
Annotation Guidelines for Narrative Levels
Authors: Hammond Adam
Published: December 2021

These guidelines present a minimalist set of instructions for annotating narrative levels. They strive for clarity and brevity,

with a focus on clear examples and helpful rules of thumb. They present a one-sentence definition of a narrative and introduce the “Let me tell you a story” rule of thumb for determining whether a narrative level boundary has been crossed. Only four attributes are introduced: narrative number, narrative level, narrator ID, and whether a given narrative is left “open” or is

closed.

Background and objectives

AKI requiring KRT is associated with high mortality and utilization. We evaluated the use of an AKI Standardized Clinical Assessment and Management Plan (SCAMP) on patient outcomes, including mortality, hospital length of stay, and intensive care unit length of stay.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We conducted a 12-month controlled study in the intensive care units of a large academic tertiary medical center. We alternated use of the AKI-SCAMP with use of a “sham” control form in 4- to 6-week blocks. The primary outcome was risk of inpatient mortality. Prespecified secondary outcomes included 30- and 60-day mortality, hospital length of stay, and intensive care unit length of stay. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the effect of the AKI-SCAMP on mortality and length of stay.

Results

There were 122 patients in the AKI-SCAMP group and 102 patients in the control group. There was no significant difference in inpatient mortality associated with AKI-SCAMP use (41% versus 47% control). AKI-SCAMP use was associated with significantly reduced intensive care unit length of stay (mean, 8; 95% confidence interval, 8 to 9 days versus mean, 12; 95% confidence interval, 10 to 13 days; P<0.001) and hospital length of stay (mean, 25; 95% confidence interval, 22 to 29 days versus mean, 30; 95% confidence interval, 27 to 34 days; P=0.02). Patients in the AKI-SCAMP group were less likely to receive KRT in the context of physician-perceived treatment futility than those in the control group (2% versus 7%; P=0.003).

Conclusions

Use of the AKI-SCAMP tool for AKI KRT was not significantly associated with inpatient mortality, but was associated with reduced intensive care unit length of stay, hospital length of stay, and use of KRT in cases of physician-perceived treatment futility.

El acceso a Internet en personas con discapacidad visual. INFORME FINAL DE PROYECTO
Authors: Dodel Matías , Fascioli Florencia , Méndez Inés
Published: December 2021

El presente informe expone los principales resultados obtenidos en el marco del proyecto Internet access for people with visual disabilities: Skills and market needs, llevado adelante por el grupo de investigación Internet of People (IoP) del Departamento de Comunicación de la Universidad Católica del Uruguay. Este proyecto buscó hacer foco en uno de los ejes menos frecuentes en la literatura sobre desigualdades digitales: las discapacidades sensoriales, particularmente la visual. Las tecnologías digitales tienen gran potencial para generar un impacto positivo en la vida de las personas ciegas y con baja visión, pero la falta de accesibilidad a estas tecnologías y al contenido que ellas transmiten puede provocar, por lo contrario, serias barreras. Los objetivos específicos del estudio estuvieron orientados, por un lado, a medir y sistematizar cuáles son los intereses y las barreras que encuentran las personas con discapacidad visual cuando deciden usar Internet. En este sentido, se indagó qué quieren las personas con ceguera y baja visión cuando usan Internet, qué tipo de contenidos buscan y cuáles son las motivaciones detrás del uso de Internet en su vida cotidiana. Por otro lado, y asumiendo inicialmente que el acceso a Internet puede ser una restricción para esta población, el proyecto buscó indagar en cómo acceden a esta tecnología las personas con discapacidad visual y qué herramientas asistivas median —o no median— este acceso. El proyecto fue llevado adelante entre marzo de 2017 y marzo de 2020, con el financiamiento del Carolan Research Institute. Contó con la participación de un equipo multidisciplinario integrado por personas con y sin discapacidad sensorial. A través de un abordaje metodológico cuantitativo y cualitativo, la investigación buscó contribuir a problematizar el acceso a la tecnología por parte de las personas con discapacidad, sus principales motivaciones, intereses y barreras.

Phylogenetic relationships of a rabies virus isolate in Costa Rica
Authors: Castro Rodríguez Luis , León Bernal , Ramírez Carvajal Lisbeth
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The sylvatic cycle of rabies is a significant sanitary burden in Central America. The Costa Rican government monitors cases since 1985 and infections from bats are still reported for wild animals, livestock, and humans, generating a need of further pathogen characterization in the region. Objective: To compare rabies phylogenetic analyses from complete genomes with nucleoprotein gene studies. Methods: For the phylogenetic analyses we used four rabies tissue samples collected in 2018, and generated complete genomes by Next-Generation sequencing (NGS). We also extracted RNA from tissues of confirmed cases and generated ssDNA using several primers. Double-stranded DNA was generated and used to generate genomic libraries. Results: We describe, for the first-time, the complete genome of four sequences of the rabies virus isolated in Costa Rica in 2018. Complete genome trees resembled the topology of nucleoprotein gene trees. All isolates were related to Desmodus rotundus. One sample group into Lineage (L)2, and the remaining samples group in L1, matched previous reports from regional rabies viruses. Conclusion: Our method produces valid viral assemblies from clinical specimens without target enrichment or viral isolation.
Identificação do possível padrão de reconhecimento molecular de compostos com atividade conhecida frente ao SARS-CoV-2 através de estratégias in silico
Authors: De Mattos Oliveira Larissa , De Jesus Nogueira Nadson
Published: December 2021

A COVID-19 é uma doença provocada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 e é responsável por uma pandemia já ocasionou mais de 4,8 milhões de óbitos. Apesar de já existirem vacinas eficazes no controle à doença, ainda há a necessidade de desenvolver medicamentos específicos contra o SARS-CoV-2. Alguns estudos in vitro apontam moléculas promissoras para o combate ao vírus, no entanto, não esclarecem os padrões de reconhecimento molecular para a modulação da resposta biológica. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar o possível padrão de reconhecimento molecular de inibidores previamente estudados. Os estudos de acoplamento molecular foram realizados com o programa Autodock vina©, sendo escolhidas as moléculas com melhores resultados para a realização da análise das interações intermoleculares. As interações encontradas nesse trabalho para os complexos estudados (M-pro e hexaclorofeno, Pl-pro e osajin, proteína S e oxiclozanida e Nsp15 com a niclosamida) coincidiram com resultados apresentados na literatura e, portanto, os resultados obtidos contribuem para futuros estudos de dinâmica molecular e testes in vivo para o desenvolvimento de abordagens terapêuticas para controle da COVID-19.
Subjectivity and Revenge in Karen M. McManus’s One of Us Is Lying
Authors: Chansit Darintip
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to explore the issues of peer rejection and revenge among adolescents through their portrayal in young adult literature (YAL). Adopting the lens of Lacanian theory on subjectivity and desire, the paper analyses a revenge plot in Karen M. McManus’s novel One of Us Is Lying and its origins. It argues that peer rejection contributes to contradictory self-concepts; how adolescent characters view themselves clash at some point with how others regard them, leading them to seek retribution. Their attempt at revenge will be examined along the lines of Lacanian psychoanalysis, and the paper argues that their revenge is driven by the impulse to fulfil the Other’s desire, which eventually fails due to the unobtainable nature of the desire itself.

Published: December 2021

Several cases of herpes zoster (HZ) following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination
(BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273) have been reported, and first epidemiological
evidences suggest an increased risk. We used the worldwide
pharmacovigilance database VigiBase to describe HZ cases following mRNA
COVID-19 vaccination. We performed disproportionality analyses
(case/non-case statistical approach) to assess the relative risk of HZ
reporting in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients compared to influenza
vaccine recipients and according to patient age. Until 30th June 2021,
of 716,928 reports about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, we found 7,728 HZ
cases. When compared to influenza vaccines, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were
associated with a significantly higher reporting of HZ (reporting
odds-ratio 1.9, 95%CI [1.8-2.1]). Furthermore, we found a reduced
risk of reporting HZ among under 40 year-old persons compared to older
persons (reporting odds-ratio 0.39, 95%CI [0.36-0.41]). For the
first time, we could assess at a global level the risk of HZ after mRNA
COVID-19 vaccination.
The non-Darcy characteristics of fault water inrush in karst tunnel based on flow state conversion theory
Authors: Cao Zheng-Zheng , Xue Yu-Feng , Wang Hao , Chen Jia-Rui , Ren Yu-Lou
Published: December 2021

The fault water inrush is a key factor which leads to tunnel construction in
karst regions. Based on the fluid mechanics principles, the paper addresses
a numer?ical coupled model for karst fault tunnel with COMSOL Multiphysics
software. Besides, the Darcy law equation, Brinkman equation, and
Navier-Stokes equation are inserted to stimulate the steady flow of aquifer,
the non-linear seepage of fault and the free flow in tunnel excavating area
in software, respectively. Then, the pres?sure and flow velocity in three
flow fields are analyzed under different permeability ratios in numerical
model. It is shown that the fault permeability is the key factor affecting
water inrush, and that the pressure and flow velocity change visibly in
adjacent domains between two flow fields.
Flow characteristics of fractal fracture with different fractal dimension and different fracture width
Authors: Liu Jun-Jun , Xie Jing , Liu Yi-Ting , Liu Gui-Kang , Tang Rui-Feng , Ye Si-Qi
Published: December 2021

Single fracture is the most basic element in complex fracture network of rock
mass. Therefore, the study of flow characteristics of single fracture is an
important way to reasonably predict the complex flow state in engineering
rock mass. In order to study the flow characteristics of fractal single
fracture, fracture models with dif?ferent fractal dimension and different
fracture width are established in this paper. The results show that: the
blocking effect of rough structure on fluid is obviously enhanced under high
pressure. In addition, it is weakened and reaches a steady-state with the
increase of fracture fractal dimension. The larger the fracture width is,
the more obvious the phenomenon is. The hydraulic gradient index tends to
0.5 with the increase of fracture width when fractal dimension is greater
than 1.3. It also could tend to 0.5 with the increase of fractal dimension
when fracture width is greater than 1 mm.

A novel triaxial apparatus to evaluate the effect of high temperature nitrogen injection concept and design
Authors: Wang Sheng-Cheng , Gao Ya-Nan , Huang Lan-Ying , Li Hai-Jian , Su Shan-Jie
Published: December 2021

High temperature nitrogen, injection into coal seams is supposed to improve
the per?meability and thus maintain the safety of underground mining. A
novel triaxial appa?ratus is recently developed, aiming at providing the
effective method to evaluate the effect of high temperature nitrogen
injection. The main feature of this novel appara?tus is its high confining
pressure, gas injection with high pressure as well as the high temperature.
This new device can be either used for natural coal samples (e.g. intact or
fractured) or the synthetic coal samples. A series of leakage tests were
conducted to verify the feasibility of this instrument, the results of which
have confirmed that the maximum pressure (i.e. 10 MPa) can be reached. In
addition, the high temperature and pressure of nitrogen gas can also be
sustain at the requested level. Based on the preliminary tests on the
instrument, a large amount of tests were carried out to eval?uate the effect
of nitrogen injection in enhancing the permeability of coking coal from the
Pingdingshan coalfield, China, and the influence of high temperature
nitrogen injection on mechanical parameters of coal was obtained.

characteristics and different geothermal temperature circumstances, and the
influence of thermal cycling on rock meso-structure. Tests results present
that the porosity, pore size distribution, thermal conductivity and specific
heat capacity are significantly affected by the environment where the rock
occurs, mineral composition and particle size, and the increase in porosity
and water content will cause the thermal conductivity and specific heat
capacity to decrease.

Aquatic bioresources of artificial water bodies in Republic of Mordovia (case of Turgenev Reservoir)
Authors: Asanov Alik Yusupovich , Nosov Aleksey
Published: December 2021

On the territory of the Republic of Mordovia there are found more than 220 multi-purpose ponds and water reservoirs built on the watercourses. The Turgenev Reservoir on the Alatyr River is a typical channel artificial reservoir. The results of comprehensive fisheries research for the period of 2009–2015 are presented. Analysis of the fod der base showed a significant underutilization of zoobenthos and phytoplankton. Using the average indicators of the fodder base over the above period, the production capacity of the reservoir fodder base was calculated, which amounted to 39.69 tons or 405 kg/ha. According to the results of research fishing with fry seine, the ichthyomass of small fish species and juveniles under the age of two years is estimated by years at the level of 8 tons or 73–91 kg/ha. According to the results of net catches, the ichthyomass of the commercial fish fauna is at the level of 6.3 t or 64 kg/ha; the total ichthyomass is 146 kg/ha. The possible catch of mainly small fish in the Turgenev Reservoir can make 5–7 tons, and in total in the Republic of Mordovia in the multi-purpose water reservoirs - about 260 tons. Due to the reconstruction of ichthyofauna at the expense of a free food base, reproduction, fish- and water protecting measures the catches of marketable fish in ponds and water bodies of Mordovia can reach 1000 tons. The artificial reservoirs of the republic have a significant regulated potential of the aquatic biological resources for the low-water regions of Central Russia both providing the population with freshwater fish and creating the conditions for active and useful recreation on the territory near the water reservoirs: developing facilities for sport and amateur fishing and tourism.
Assessing state of water protection zones of Volga River within Ilyinka village area (Astrakhan region)
Authors: Vasil'eva Ekaterina , Melnik Irina
Published: December 2021

Anthropogenic pollution of water basins may become a serious threat for ecosystems and human health. Pollutants are transferred through food chains or directly when untreated water is used, released to soil through subsoil waters or during floods. The increased anthropogenic load on rivers’ hydrosystems, especially in their del-tas, is becoming rampant these days. The goal of the research is to study the coastal areas and to assess the state of vegetation. To achieve this goal, standard methods of biotesting and bioindication were applied in the territories of two water-protection zones – those of the Volga River and the Nozhovskiy erik (shallow channel in the Volga delta – translator’s note) near the Ilyinka village. The water quality in the Volga River, within the examined range, is stably characterized as “dirty” (4th class). The exceeded level of maximum permissible concentrations for petroleum products, heavy metals (mercury, zinc, molybdenum), sulfides and phenols is observed. The research has not revealed the impact of the quality of water on phytotoxicity of the soil and indices of abundance of the vegetation that grows in this territory. Toxicity of soils is weak in the area of the Nozhovskiy erik, it is very weak in the area of the Volga River: the germination capacity of the test object (watercress) ranges between 67 and 88%, morpho-metric indices of plants do not differ much from those in control groups. Within the summer period the monitoring sites were characterized by the maximum frequency-abundance indices of typical representatives of the local flora, which are camel thorn (Alhagi pseudalhagi) and greater burdock (Arctium lappa). Vegetation in these areas is abundant, its state is assessed as satisfactory.

Surgical creation of multiple drainage holes versus local injection of corticosteroids for treatment of aural hematomas in dogs: 51 dogs with 71 aural hematomas (2000–2017)
Authors: Itoh Teruo , Kojimoto Atsuko , Kojima Kentaro , Mikawa Kazuhiro , Shii Hiroki
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the outcome of surgical creation of multiple drainage holes (MDHs) versus local corticosteroid injection (LCI) for treatment of aural hematomas (AHs) in dogs and identify risk factors for recurrence and development of new AHs.

ANIMALS

51 dogs with 71 AHs.

PROCEDURES

Medical records were reviewed, and information on signalment, clinical findings, and outcome was recorded. Recurrence was defined as development of an AH at the primary site after the first month of treatment. Development of a new AH was defined as an AH occurring at a site different from the treated site.

RESULTS

The recurrence rate after the first month of treatment was significantly higher following the LCI procedure (17/48 AHs [33%]) than after the MDH procedure (1/24 AHs [4%]). The odds of recurrence increased as the numbers of LCI in the first month increased (OR, 2.414). Recurrent AHs after LCI resolved with additional LCIs; only 1 AH (2%) required a change to MDHs. No recurrence was observed after the eighth month, and the cosmetic results were good. Sixteen of 51 (31%) dogs had multiple or new AHs. The risk of new AHs was higher in Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers and in dogs with allergic dermatitis.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Long-term outcomes suggested that both creation of MDHs and LCI can be therapeutic options for dogs with AHs. However, the risk of new AH development should be considered, especially in retriever breeds and dogs with allergic dermatitis.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lysine, methionine and tryptophan amino acid supple- mentation on low-quality rations on the performance of bali pigs. The material used was 12 bali pigs with an initial weight of 11.41 ± 0.91 kg. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 4 replications. Treatment P0 (50% yellow corn + 49% pollard + 0.5% mineral 10 + 0.5% NaCl), P1 (Ration P0 supp- lemented with 0.75% lysine, 0.20% methionine and 0.07% tryptophan of the total rations), P2 (ration 40% yellow corn + 43% pollard + 16% concentrate CP152 + 0.5% mineral 10 + 0.5% NaCl). The variables observed were body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that the supplementation of amino acids lysine, methionine and tryptophan on the performance of bali pigs showed a significantly different effect (P<0.05) on the variables of body weight, weight gain, ration consumption and feed conversion ratio. It can be concluded that the basal ration supplemented with essential amino acids 0.75% lysine, 0.20% methionine and 0.07% tryptophan in bali pork rations can increase body weight, gain weight, consume rations, and feed conversion ratio.
