Authors: Gajan Sivapalan 
Published: June 2024

IntroductionThe objective of this study is to develop predictive models for rocking-induced permanent settlement in shallow foundations during earthquake loading using stacking, bagging and boosting ensemble machine learning (ML) and artificial neural network (ANN) models.MethodsThe ML models are developed using supervised learning technique and results obtained from rocking foundation experiments conducted on shaking tables and centrifuges. The overall performance of ML models are evaluated using k-fold cross validation tests and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean absolute error (MAE) in their predictions.ResultsThe performances of all six nonlinear ML models developed in this study are relatively consistent in terms of prediction accuracy with their average MAPE varying between 0.64 and 0.86 in final k-fold cross validation tests.DiscussionThe overall average MAE in predictions of all nonlinear ML models are smaller than 0.006, implying that the ML models developed in this study have the potential to predict permanent settlement of rocking foundations with reasonable accuracy in practical applications.

BackgroundThe health and safety of workers who work in areas severely damaged by natural weather events (reconstruction workers) is becoming an increasingly important health problem as these disasters increase in intensity and frequency. An evidence-based, innovative e-learning tool, Pocket Ark, has been developed to meet this need.MethodsIntervention Mapping, an iterative public health programming methodology, was used to create strategies designed to support the development and implementation of the Pocket Ark application for the health and safety of reconstruction workers before, after, and during natural disasters.DiscussionThe development of an evidence-based application, Pocket Ark, uses the concept of the Intervention Mapping planning framework. It can be an effective bridge of pre-deployment education, deployment health, and safety support for the reconstruction work in the immediate post-disaster environment.

IntroductionCurrently, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has a high impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. The increase of CD4+, CD8+ cells expressing NF-κB, STAT4, IFN-γ and perforin are related to smoking habit, smoking history, airflow rate, obstruction and pulmonary emphysema. Furthermore, a deficiency in CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) may impair the normal function of the immune system and lead to respiratory immune disease. On the other hand, the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, produced by Treg cells and macrophages, inhibits the synthesis of several pro-inflammatory cytokines that are expressed in COPD. Therefore, immunotherapeutic strategies, such as Photobiomodulation (PBM), aim to regulate the levels of cytokines, chemokines and transcription factors in COPD. Consequently, the objective of this study was to evaluate CD4+STAT4 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ cells as well as the production of CD4+IFN- γ and CD4+CD25+IL-10 in the lung after PBM therapy in a COPD mice model.MethodsWe induced COPD in C57BL/6 mice through an orotracheal application of cigarette smoke extract. PMB treatment was applied for the entire 7 weeks and Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lungs were collected to study production of IFN- γ and IL-10 in the lung. After the last administration with cigarette smoke extract (end of 7 weeks), 24 h later, the animals were euthanized. One-way ANOVA followed by NewmanKeuls test were used for statistical analysis with significance levels adjusted to 5% (p &lt; 0.05).ResultsThis result showed that PBM improves COPD symptomatology, reducing the number of inflammatory cells (macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes), the levels of IFN-γ among others, and increased IL-10. We also observed a decrease of collagen, mucus, bronchoconstriction index, alveolar enlargement, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+STAT4+, and CD4+IFN-γ+ cells. In addition, in the treated group, we found an increase in CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ and CD4+IL-10+ T cells.ConclusionThis study suggests that PBM treatment could be applied as an immunotherapeutic strategy for COPD.

BackgroundPrevious studies showed that contrast-enhanced (CE) morpho-functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects abnormalities in lung morphology and perfusion in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Novel matrix pencil decomposition MRI (MP-MRI) enables quantification of lung perfusion and ventilation without intravenous contrast agent administration.ObjectivesTo compare MP-MRI with established morpho-functional MRI and spirometry in patients with CF.MethodsThirty-nine clinically stable patients with CF (mean age 21.6 ± 10.7 years, range 8–45 years) prospectively underwent morpho-functional MRI including CE perfusion MRI, MP-MRI and spirometry. Two blinded chest radiologists assessed morpho-functional MRI and MP-MRI employing the validated chest MRI score. In addition, MP-MRI data were processed by automated software calculating perfusion defect percentage (QDP) and ventilation defect percentage (VDP).ResultsMP perfusion score and QDP correlated strongly with the CE perfusion score (both r = 0.81; p &lt; 0.01). MP ventilation score and VDP showed strong inverse correlations with percent predicted FEV1 (r = −0.75 and r = −0.83; p &lt; 0.01). The comparison of visual and automated parameters showed that both MP perfusion score and QDP, and MP ventilation score and VDP were strongly correlated (r = 0.74 and r = 0.78; both p &lt; 0.01). Further, the MP perfusion score and MP ventilation score, as well as QDP and VDP were strongly correlated (r = 0.88 and r = 0.86; both p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionMP-MRI detects abnormalities in lung perfusion and ventilation in patients with CF without intravenous or inhaled contrast agent application, and correlates strongly with the well-established CE perfusion MRI score and spirometry. Automated analysis of MP-MRI may serve as quantitative noninvasive outcome measure for diagnostic monitoring and clinical trials.

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global health concern, and it is particularly harmful to middle-aged and elderly individuals. Life Element Eight (LE8), a measure to improve cardiovascular health, may offer benefits for MetS. Herein, we examined the relationship between LE8 and MetS among middle-aged and elderly individuals, and elucidated the role of biological aging and inflammation in this process.MethodsWe obtained the LE8 scores of 2,901 Americans, along with their biological aging indicators (Biological age, Phenotypic age, Serum Klotho), and computed their inflammatory indicators SII, DII. Using logistic regression model, we assessed the association among inflammatory markers, Biological aging, LE8 and MetS. Additionally, we generated restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots to display trends in significant variables in logistic regression. Using parallel mediation analysis, we evaluated the possible mediating role of various factors in the risk relationship between LE8 and MetS.ResultsOur examination revealed that higher LE8 scores were associated with a lower incidence of MetS in a fully adjusted model. The high LE8 subgroup had a 79.73% reduction in the risk of MetS compared to the low subgroup with an OR = 0.2027 (95% Cl 0.0871, 0.4714), with similar correlations between health factor scores and MetS risk. Biological aging mediated the associations between LE8, health behaviors and health factor scores and MetS risk.ConclusionA rise in the LE8 score among middle-aged and elderly individuals is a protective factor for MetS, and this association may be partially mediated by biological aging, suggesting that LE8 may reduce the risk of MetS by ameliorating aging.

PurposeThis study compares phantom-based variability of extracted radiomics features from scans on a photon counting CT (PCCT) and an experimental animal PET/CT-scanner (Albira II) to investigate the potential of radiomics for translation from animal models to human scans. While oncological basic research in animal PET/CT has allowed an intrinsic comparison between PET and CT, but no 1:1 translation to a human CT scanner due to resolution and noise limitations, Radiomics as a statistical and thus scale-independent method can potentially close the critical gap.MethodsTwo phantoms were scanned on a PCCT and animal PET/CT-scanner with different scan parameters and then the radiomics parameters were extracted. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted. To overcome the limitation of a small dataset, a data augmentation technique was applied. A Ridge Classifier was trained and a Feature Importance- and Cluster analysis was performed.ResultsPCA and Cluster Analysis shows a clear differentiation between phantom types while emphasizing the comparability of both scanners. The Ridge Classifier exhibited a strong training performance with 93% accuracy, but faced challenges in generalization with a test accuracy of 62%.ConclusionThese results show that radiomics has great potential as a translational tool between animal models and human routine diagnostics, especially using the novel photon counting technique. This is another crucial step towards integration of radiomics analysis into clinical practice.

Background and aimsPostinterventional hypothermia is a frequent complication in patients with large-vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). This inadvertent hypothermia might potentially have neuroprotective but also adverse effects on patients’ outcomes. The aim of the study was to determine the rate of hypothermia in patients with LVOS receiving MT and its influence on functional outcome.MethodsWe performed a monocentric, retrospective study using a prospectively derived databank, including all LVOS patients receiving MT between 2015 and 2021. Predictive values of postinterventional body temperature and body temperature categories (hyperthermia (≥38°C), normothermia (35°C–37.9°C), and hypothermia (&lt;35°C)) on functional outcome were analyzed using multivariable Bayesian logistic regression models. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤3.ResultsOf the 480 included LVOS patients with MT (46.0% men; mean ± SD age 73 ± 12.9 years), 5 (1.0%) were hyperthermic, 382 (79.6%) normothermic, and 93 (19.4%) hypothermic. Postinterventional hypothermia was significantly associated with unfavorable functional outcome (mRS &gt; 3) after 90 days (OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.01–4.18, p = 0.045). For short-term functional outcome, patients with hypothermia had a higher discharge NIHSS (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.79, p = 0.015) and a higher change of NIHSS from admission to discharge (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.76, p = 0.029).ConclusionApproximately a fifth of LVOS patients in this cohort were hypothermic after MT. Hypothermia was an independent predictor of unfavorable functional outcomes. Our findings warrant a prospective trial investigating active warming during MT.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundGuillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease associated with significant morbidity. A wide variety of infectious and non-infectious triggers have been identified to be associated with GBS. COVID-19 has gained attention in recent years for its role in GBS pathogenesis. Our study aims to review the literature on GBS and its epidemiological and pathophysiological association with COVID-19.DescriptionRecent literature on GBS associated with COVID-19 infections, such as case reports, case series, systematic reviews, and large-scale epidemiological studies, were reviewed. We also reviewed studies that included vaccines against COVID-19 in association with GBS. Studies that focused on understanding the pathobiology of GBS and its association with infectious agents including COVID-19 were reviewed.ConclusionDespite a lack of consensus, GBS is strongly associated with COVID-19 infection. The exact pathophysiological mechanism regarding COVID-19 as a causative agent of GBS is unknown. Mechanisms, such as the proinflammatory state, triggering of autoimmunity, and direct viral invasion, are postulated and remain to be investigated. Adenovirus vector vaccines are most likely associated with GBS, and the consensual reports clearly suggest mRNA vaccines are associated with low risk and may be protective against GBS by reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection.

BackgroundPost-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a well-known complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although several risk factors have been identified, prediction of PTE is difficult. Changing demographics and advances in TBI treatment may affect the risk of PTE. Our aim was to provide an up-to-date estimate of the incidence of PTE by linking multiple nationwide registers.MethodsPatients with TBI admitted to hospital 2015–2018 were identified in the Norwegian Trauma Registry and matched to trauma-free controls on sex and birth year according to a matched cohort design. They were followed up for epilepsy in nationwide registers 2015–2020. Cumulative incidence of epilepsy in TBI patients and controls was estimated taking competing risks into account. Analyses stratified by the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) severity score, Glasgow Coma Scale score and age were conducted for the TBI group. Occurrence of PTE in different injury types was visualized using UpSet plots.ResultsIn total, 8,660 patients and 84,024 controls were included in the study. Of the patients, 3,029 (35%) had moderate to severe TBI. The cumulative incidence of epilepsy in the TBI group was 3.1% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 2.8–3.5%) after 2 years and 4.0% (3.6–4.5%) after 5 years. Corresponding cumulative incidences in the control group were 0.2% (95% CI 0.2–0.3%) and 0.5% (0.5–0.6%). The highest incidence was observed in patients with severe TBI according to AIS (11.8% [95% CI 9.7–14.4%] after 2 years and 13.2% [10.8–16.0%] after 5 years) and in patients &gt;40 years of age.ConclusionPatients with TBI have significantly higher risk of developing epilepsy compared to population controls. However, PTE incidence following moderate–severe TBI was notably lower than what has been reported in several previously published studies.
