Socio-semantic networks as mutualistic networks
Authors: St-Onge Jonathan , Renaud-Desjardins Louis , Mongeau Pierre , Saint-Charles Johanne 
Published: February 2022

AbstractSeveral studies have shown that discourse and social relationships are intertwined and co-evolve. However, we lack theoretical models to explain the phenomenon. Inspired by recent work in ecology, we propose to model socio-semantic networks as an interaction between two intermingled data generating processes: a social community process and a document-based process. We consider the link between semantic and social ties as analogous to the interactions found in pollination networks whereby agents visit hidden topics in a similar way that insects visit specific plants for pollination. We use the ENRON socio-semantic email network to investigate if it exhibits properties that characterize mutualistic networks, namely moderate connectance, heterogeneous degree distribution, moderate modularity and high nestedness. To do so, we build a plant-pollinator matrix where “insect species” are communities detected via block modelling, “plant species” are latent topics detected with topic modelling, and the interaction between the two is the total number of visits a community makes to specific topics. Our results show that the ENRON socio-semantic interaction matrix respects the aforementioned criteria of mutualism paving the way for the development of a relevant framework to better understand the dynamic of human socio-semantic interactions.

AbstractIn crop systems, successful management of invasive insect herbivores can be achieved through the introduction of exotic biocontrol agents, parasitoids or predators, having a coevolutionary history with the pest. To avert threats to local biodiversity, recent legislations require a risk assessment for the organism to be released. Evaluation of its ability to exploit, for host location, odours associated with target and non-target species is crucial for a better definition of its ecological host range. Using Y-tube olfactometer bioassays in a quarantine laboratory, we investigated the ability of the Asian egg parasitoid Trissolcus mitsukurii (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) to exploit odours associated with the global invader Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and with non-target stink bugs native to Southern Europe. We demonstrated that T. mitsukurii is attracted by plants exposed to feeding and egg deposition of the coevolved H. halys and the native Nezara viridula, while it is not attracted by physogastric (gravid) females or eggs alone. Remarkably, T. mitsukurii is repelled by plants bearing eggs of the beneficial Arma custos. Our results contribute to a more thorough and nuanced assessment of the potential non-target risks in the case of mass-release of parasitoids as part of a biological control programme for invasive stink bugs.

AbstractTo characterize Parkinson’s disease, abnormal phase-amplitude coupling is assessed in the cortico-basal circuit using invasive recordings. It is unknown whether the same phenomenon might be found in regions other than the cortico-basal ganglia circuit. We hypothesized that using magnetoencephalography to assess phase-amplitude coupling in the whole brain can characterize Parkinson’s disease. We recorded resting-state magnetoencephalographic signals in patients with Parkinson’s disease and in healthy age- and sex-matched participants. We compared whole-brain signals from the two groups, evaluating the power spectra of 3 frequency bands (alpha, 8–12 Hz; beta, 13–25 Hz; gamma, 50–100 Hz) and the coupling between gamma amplitude and alpha or beta phases. Patients with Parkinson’s disease showed significant beta–gamma phase-amplitude coupling that was widely distributed in the sensorimotor, occipital, and temporal cortices; healthy participants showed such coupling only in parts of the somatosensory and temporal cortices. Moreover, beta- and gamma-band power differed significantly between participants in the two groups (P < 0.05). Finally, beta–gamma phase-amplitude coupling in the sensorimotor cortices correlated significantly with motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (P < 0.05); beta- and gamma-band power did not. We thus demonstrated that beta–gamma phase-amplitude coupling in the resting state characterizes Parkinson’s disease.

Published: February 2022

AbstractCause determination is challenging in fever or inflammation of unknown origin (FUO/IUO) despite today’s diagnostic modalities. We evaluated the value of F-18 FDG PET/CT in an unselected patient collective. This retrospective nonrandomized single-center study enrolled 300 male and female patients with FUO/IUO. PET/CT findings were compared with final clinical outcomes to determine the sensitivity, specificity, clinical significance, etiological distribution of final diagnoses, impact on treatment, role of white-blood cell count (WBC), and C-reactive protein (CRP). In 54.0% (162/300) PET/CT was the decisive exanimation for establishing the final diagnosis, in 13.3% (40/300) the findings were equivocal and indecisive, in 3.3% (10/300) PET/CT findings were false positive, while in 29.3% (88/300) a normal F-18 FDG pattern was present. Statistical analysis showed a sensitivity of 80.2% and a specificity of 89.8% for the contribution of PET/CT to the final diagnosis. CRP levels and WBC were not associated with PET/CT outcome. PET/CT let to new treatment in 24.0% (72/300), treatment change in 18.0% (54/300), no treatment change in 49.6% (149/300), and in 8.3% (25/300) no data was available. Our study demonstrates the utility of F-18 FDG PET/CT for source finding in FUO/IUO if other diagnostic tools fail.

Published: February 2022

AbstractTimber suffers from various biological damages. Recent efforts aim on nature-friendly sustainable technologies of wood protection to replace classical synthetic agents having usually negative impact on many non-target organisms including man. This research investigated the biocidal effectiveness of lavender oil (LO) in protecting the Norway spruce (Picea abies) wood against the termites Reticulitermes flavipes and the brown-rot fungus Rhodonia placenta. Following, selected physical characteristics of spruce wood treated with LO were evaluated: colour changes, roughness, surface wetting with water and surface free energy (SFE). Experiments showed that LO increased the resistance of spruce wood to termites nearly to the level of its treatment with commercial biocide based on trivalent boron and quaternary ammonium salt. The additional hydrophobic treatment of wood ensured its full termite-resistance even after artificial weathering in Xenotest and leaching in water according to EN 84, respectively. It shows a high potential of LO to protect wood against termites. Adversely, the effectiveness of 5% LO against rot was not sufficient. The colour of the oil-treated wood was preserved, its roughness increased slightly, and wetting and SFE led to a positive change, improving the adhesion of potentially applied coatings or adhesives for exterior exposures.
Automated recognition of the cricket batting backlift technique in video footage using deep learning architectures

Published: February 2022

AbstractThere have been limited studies demonstrating the validation of batting techniques in cricket using machine learning. This study demonstrates how the batting backlift technique in cricket can be automatically recognised in video footage and compares the performance of popular deep learning architectures, namely, AlexNet, Inception V3, Inception Resnet V2, and Xception. A dataset is created containing the lateral and straight backlift classes and assessed according to standard machine learning metrics. The architectures had similar performance with one false positive in the lateral class and a precision score of 100%, along with a recall score of 95%, and an f1-score of 98% for each architecture, respectively. The AlexNet architecture performed the worst out of the four architectures as it incorrectly classified four images that were supposed to be in the straight class. The architecture that is best suited for the problem domain is the Xception architecture with a loss of 0.03 and 98.2.5% accuracy, thus demonstrating its capability in differentiating between lateral and straight backlifts. This study provides a way forward in the automatic recognition of player patterns and motion capture, making it less challenging for sports scientists, biomechanists and video analysts working in the field.
Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA in oronasal swabs from infected African buffaloes (Syncerus caffer)

Published: February 2022

AbstractMycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), is the causative agent of bovine TB (bTB) in animals. Spread occurs through inhalation or ingestion of bacilli transmitted from infected individuals. Early and accurate detection of infected African buffaloes shedding M. bovis is essential for interrupting transmission. In this pilot study, we determined if MTBC DNA could be detected in M. bovis infected buffalo oronasal secretions using a molecular transport media (PrimeStore MTM) with oronasal swabs and a rapid qPCR assay (Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra). Bovine TB test-positive buffaloes were culled, then tissue samples and oronasal swabs collected post-mortem for mycobacterial culture and Ultra testing, respectively. The Ultra detected MTBC DNA in 5/12 swabs from M. bovis culture-confirmed buffaloes. Oronasal swabs from M. bovis negative buffaloes (n = 20) were negative on Ultra, indicating the high specificity of this test. This study showed that MTM can successfully preserve MTBC DNA in oronasal swabs. The proportion of MTBC positive oronasal swabs was higher than expected and suggests that the Ultra may be an additional method for identifying infected buffaloes. Further studies are needed to confirm the utility of the Ultra assay with oronasal swabs as an assay to evaluate possible MTBC shedding in buffaloes.
Complete Tracheal Ring Deformity, Recurrent Pneumothoraces and

Cause?
Authors: Thiemann Inga , Hoppen Thomas , Laur Martin , Ohlert Manuel , Lobitz Stephan , Schwerk Nicolaus , Dingemann Jens , Länger Florian , Grychtol Ruth Margarethe , Nüßlein Thomas 
Published: February 2022

AbstractComplete tracheal ring deformity (CTRD) is a rare abnormality of unknown etiology
characterized by circumferentially continuous cartilaginous tracheal rings
leading to variable degrees of tracheal stenosis with or without additional
heart and lung malformations. Pleuropulmonary blastomas (PPB) are rare malignant
mesenchymal tumors, which occur almost exclusively in young children. Pathogenic
germline DICER1 variants are associated with PPB but also with other
tumors like rhabdomyosarcoma or syndromic diseases like GLOW (Global
developmental delay, lung cysts, overgrowth and Wilms tumor) syndrome. Here, we
report a case with CTRD and recurrent pneumothoraces who additionally developed
PPB on the genetic background of a pathogenic DICER1 variant.

Published: February 2022

ZusammenfassungEine sichere Evaluation der korrekten Lage eines Endotrachealtubus ist eine
wichtige Herausforderung in der Neonatologie. Der Point-of-Care Ultrasound ist
eine neue Methode zur Beantwortung dieser Fragestellung, die rasch
verfügbar ist, keine Strahlenexposition verursacht, mit niedrigem
Personalaufwand verbunden ist und eine geringe Belastung für die
Neugeborenen darstellt. Dieser Übersichtsartikel legt einen Fokus auf
die Evaluation der klinischen Anwendbarkeit des Point-of-Care Ultrasound zur
Untersuchung der Position des Tubus anhand von drei praxisrelevanten
Fragestellungen zur Darstellbarkeit, Vergleichbarkeit mit dem Standard der
Röntgenuntersuchung und dem Trainingsaufwand der Untersuchungstechnik.
Im ersten Schritt wurden neun Studien identifiziert, die zur Beantwortung der
Fragestellungen herangezogen wurden. Eine Darstellung der Spitze des Tubus ist
mit Hilfe des Point-of-Care Ultrasound sehr gut möglich. Die
Abschätzung der optimalen Tubuslage ist unter Bezugnahme auf anatomische
Leitstrukturen mit den Ergebnissen der Röntgen-Thoraxaufnahme
vergleichbar. Die Untersuchungstechnik ist für Ärztinnen und
Ärzte mit Vorerfahrungen im Ultraschall geeignet. Erfolgversprechende
Anwendungsgebiete des Point-of-care Ultrasound sind Notfall-Intubationen, der
routinemäßige Einsatz bei Frühgeborenen mit extrem
niedrigem Geburtsgewicht und in Ländern mit beschränkten
Ressourcen. Zur Förderung des Bekanntheitsgrads und der klinischen
Anwendung bietet dieser Artikel eine Praxisanleitung der
Untersuchungstechnik.

Single-Session Mechanical Thrombectomy of Lower Extremity Deep Venous Thrombosis Using the ClotTriever System: A Single-Institution Experience
Authors: Wadhwa Vibhor , Malhotra Anuj , Kesselman Andrew 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to provide a single-center experience in utilization of the ClotTriever mechanical thrombectomy system in acute and subacute deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Methods Retrospective review was performed for all patients who underwent DVT thrombectomy using the ClotTriever system at a single academic medical center. Data recorded included age, gender, etiology, laterality of DVT, fluoroscopy time, perioperative parameters, type of anesthesia, concomitant usage of thrombolytics and/or stents. Follow-up Doppler ultrasounds or diagnostic venograms were reviewed, and time of reintervention (if performed) and Villalta scores were recorded.
Results Ten patients were included in the study, with 6/10 female (60%), mean age 54.6 years (range: 24–80). Eight patients presented with acute iliofemoral DVT, one patient with subacute iliofemoral DVT, and one patient with subacute inferior vena cava thrombosis. Only one patient required concomitant intraprocedural thrombolytic administration, and four patients underwent same-session venous stent placement. Technical success was achieved in 90% patients and no procedure-related adverse events were observed. Reintervention within 30 days was required in two (20%) patients at 12 and 13 days. No patient required intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and mean postprocedure hospital length of stay was 2.3 days. On follow-up (mean: 214 days), five patients had no evidence of DVT and four patients showed chronic postthrombotic changes in femoropopliteal veins not requiring intervention.
Conclusion The ClotTriever mechanical venous thrombectomy system demonstrates high efficacy in removal of thrombus from lower extremities in a single session, often obviating the need for thrombolytic therapy with low reintervention rates and short postprocedure hospital stay.
Comparing the Use of DynaMed and UpToDate by Physician Trainees in Clinical Decision-Making: A Randomized Crossover Trial
Authors: Baxter Sally L. , Lander Lina , Clay Brian , Bell John , Hansen Kristen , Walker Amanda , Tai-Seale Ming 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background Costs vary substantially among electronic medical knowledge resources used for clinical decision support, warranting periodic assessment of institution-wide adoption.
Objectives To compare two medical knowledge resources, UpToDate and DynaMed Plus, regarding accuracy and time required to answer standardized clinical questions and user experience.
Methods A crossover trial design was used, wherein physicians were randomized to first use one of the two medical knowledge resources to answer six standardized questions. Following use of each resource, they were surveyed regarding their user experience. The percentage of accurate answers and time required to answer each question were recorded. The surveys assessed ease of use, enjoyment using the resource, quality of information, and ability to assess level of evidence. Tests of carry-over effects were performed. Themes were identified within open-ended survey comments regarding overall user experience.
Results Among 26 participating physicians, accuracy of answers differed by 4 percentage points or less. For all but one question, there were no significant differences in the time required for completion. Most participants felt both resources were easy to use, contained high quality of information, and enabled assessment of the level of evidence. A greater proportion of participants endorsed enjoyment of use with UpToDate (23/26, 88%) compared with DynaMed Plus (16/26, 62%). Themes from open-ended comments included interface/information presentation, coverage of clinical topics, search functions, and utility for clinical decision-making. The majority (59%) of open-ended comments expressed an overall preference for UpToDate, compared with 19% preferring DynaMed Plus.
Conclusion DynaMed Plus is noninferior to UpToDate with respect to ability to achieve accurate answers, time required for answering clinical questions, ease of use, quality of information, and ability to assess level of evidence. However, user experience was more positive with UpToDate. Future studies of electronic medical knowledge resources should continue to emphasize evaluation of usability and user experience.
Design, Implementation, Utilization, and Sustainability of a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources–Based Inpatient Rounding List
Authors: Taxter Alysha , Frenkel Mark , Witek Lauren , Bundy Richa , Kirkendall Eric , Miller David , Dharod Ajay 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Objective We designed and implemented an application programming interface (API)-based electronic health record (EHR)-integrated rounding list and evaluated acceptability, clinician satisfaction, information accuracy, and efficiency related to the application.
Methods We developed and integrated an application, employing iterative design techniques with user feedback. EHR and application user action logs, as well as hospital safety reports, were evaluated. Rounding preparation characteristics were obtained through surveys before and after application integration. To evaluate usability, inpatient providers, including residents, fellows, and attendings were surveyed 2 weeks prior to and 6 months after enterprise-wide EHR application integration. Our primary outcome was provider time savings measured by user action logs; secondary outcomes include provider satisfaction.
Results The application was widely adopted by inpatient providers, with more than 69% of all inpatients queried by the application within 6 months of deployment. Application utilization was sustained throughout the study period with 79% (interquartile range [IQR]: 76, 82) of enterprise-wide unique patients accessed per weekday. EHR action logs showed application users spent −3.24 minutes per day (95% confidence interval [CI]: −6.8, 0.33), p = 0.07 within the EHR compared with nonusers. Median self-reported chart review time for attendings decreased from 30 minutes (IQR: 15, 60) to 20 minutes (IQR: 10, 45) after application integration (p = 0.04). Self-reported sign-out preparation time decreased by a median of 5 minutes (p < 0.01), and providers were better prepared for hand-offs (p = 0.02). There were no increased safety reports during the study period.
Conclusion This study demonstrates successful integration of a rounding application within a commercial EHR using APIs. We demonstrate increasing both provider-reported satisfaction and time savings. Rounding lists provided more accurate and timely information for rounds. Application usage was sustained across multiple specialties at 42 months. Other application designers should consider data density, optimization of provider workflows, and using real-time data transfer using novel tools when designing an application.
