New Deep Learning Methods for Annotation-Efficient Medical Image Analysis
Creators: name: Zhang, Charley Yejia
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Medical image analysis is an impactful domain in computer science where the goal is to computationally extract knowledge from images for health research, clinical assessment, and computer-aided diagnostics. Extracting these insights commonly involves two core tasks: image classification, which categorizes images into medically-relevant classes, and image segmentation, which classifies each pixel or voxel within an image. In computer vision, these tasks are increasingly relegated to large Transformer or “foundation” models where training is performed on large corpora of natural scene images. Despite these advancements, there remains large semantic and appearance gaps between natural and medical data which significantly diminish the transferability of these models to medical applications. The medical domain also contends with acute data challenges involving the prohibitive costs of acquiring, labeling, and publicizing data. To address these challenges, we introduce six new deep learning methods that enhance data efficiency and improve task performance by harnessing prior knowledge inherent in medical images.

The first trio of methods employs anatomical, shape, and staining priors with small fully annotated datasets to advance sperm morphology classification, anatomical structure segmentation, and cancer survival regression, respectively. The latter three approaches utilize spatial and semantic priors to facilitate unsupervised representation learning, which learns expressive features from images without any annotations for downstream segmentation tasks.

These methodologies not only bridge the performance gap observed between medical tasks and recent natural image frameworks, but also demonstrate that favorable model performance and data efficiency can be achieved through judicious design using effective priors. Finally, to extend the applicability and effectiveness of the ideas introduced above, we propose and discuss four future research avenues.

description: This cohort study was designed to explore whether roxadustat or erythropoietin could affect thyroid function in patients with renal anemia. The study involved 110 patients with renal anemia. Thyroid profile and baseline investigations were carried out for each patient. The patients were divided into two groups: 60 patients taking erythropoietin served as the control group (rHuEPO group) and 50 patients using roxadustat served as the experimental group (roxadustat group). The results indicated that there were no significant differences in serum total thyroxine (TT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) or thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) between the two groups at baseline. After treatment, TSH, FT3, and FT4 were significantly lower in the roxadustat group than in the rHuEPO group (p < 0.05). After adjusting for age, sex, dialysis modality, thyroid nodules and causes of kidney disease, Cox regression showed that roxadustat was an independent influencing factor on thyroid dysfunction (HR 3.37; 95% CI 1.94–5.87; p < 0.001). After 12 months of follow-up, the incidence of thyroid dysfunction was higher in the roxadustat group than in the rHuEPO group (log-rank p < 0.001). Roxadustat may lead to a higher risk of thyroid dysfunction, including low TSH, FT3 and FT4, than rHuEPO in patients with renal anemia.

Real-Time Detection and Diagnosis of Flight Anomalies in Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
Creators: name: Al Islam, Md Nafee
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Safety critical systems, such as small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) must be monitored closely to identify, diagnose, and potentially mitigate flight problems as they arise. In the pre-flight stage, safe planning and sequencing of mission tasks is a crucial job considering the roles of individual sUAS along with their associated multi-vehicle, cross-role dependencies. Also during the flight, the multivariate time series data typically generated by sUAS flight controllers can be complex to understand and analyse. While formal product documentation often provides example data plots with diagnostic suggestions, the sheer diversity of attributes, critical thresholds, and data interactions can be overwhelming to non-experts who subsequently seek help from discussion forums to interpret their data logs. Solutions based on deep learning or heuristics can be used to detect anomalies in different time-series data attributes. However, understanding and mitigating the root cause of flight problems based upon the combination of multiple detected data anomalies requires significant domain expertise. This dissertation addresses two primary problems: (1) designing effective and efficient anomaly detectors to detect anomalies in the sUAS flight data for both real-time and post-mortem analysis, and (2) based on the combination of multiple detected data anomalies, diagnosing the root cause of the problematic behaviour. In addition it also addresses a secondary problem that occurs when faulty sequences of tasks are assigned to a fleet of sUAS.

description: We study the complexity of approximating the number of answers to a small query $φ$ in a large database $\mathcal{D}$. We establish an exhaustive classification into tractable and intractable cases if $φ$ is a conjunctive query with disequalities and negations:
 $\bullet$ If there is a constant bound on the arity of $φ$, and if the randomised Exponential Time Hypothesis (rETH) holds, then the problem has a fixed-parameter tractable approximation scheme (FPTRAS) if and only if the treewidth of $φ$ is bounded.
 $\bullet$ If the arity is unbounded and we allow disequalities only, then the problem has an FPTRAS if and only if the adaptive width of $φ$ (a width measure strictly more general than treewidth) is bounded; the lower bound relies on the rETH as well.
 Additionally we show that our results cannot be strengthened to achieve a fully polynomial randomised approximation scheme (FPRAS): We observe that, unless $\mathrm{NP} =\mathrm{RP}$, there is no FPRAS even if the treewidth (and the adaptive width) is $1$. However, if there are neither disequalities nor negations, we prove the existence of an FPRAS for queries of bounded fractional hypertreewidth, strictly generalising the recently established FPRAS for conjunctive queries with bounded hypertreewidth due to Arenas, Croquevielle, Jayaram and Riveros (STOC 2021).

description: IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common glomerulopathy worldwide and in Uruguay, raised treatment controversies. The study aimed to analyze long-term IgAN outcomes and treatment. A retrospective analysis of a Uruguayan IgAN cohort, enrolled between 1985 and 2009 and followed up until 2020, was performed. The Ethics Committee approved the study. The inclusion criteria were (a) biopsy-proven IgAN; (b) age ≥12 years; and (c) available clinical, histologic, and treatment data. The patients were divided into two groups, with immunosuppressive (IS) or without (NoIS) treatment. Outcomes (end-stage kidney disease/kidney replacement therapy [ESKD/KRT] or all-cause death) were obtained from mandatory national registries. The study population included 241 patients (64.7% men), median age 32 (19.5) years, baseline blood pressure <130/80 mmHg in 37%, and microhematuria in 67.5% of patients. Baseline proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, and a higher crescent percentage were significantly more frequent in the IS group. Proteinuria improved in both groups. Renal survival at 20 years was 74.6% without difference between groups. In the overall population and in the NoIS group, bivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline proteinuria, endocapillary hypercellularity, tubule interstitial damage, and crescents were associated with a higher risk of ESKD/KRT or death, but in the IS group, proteinuria and endocapillary hypercellularity were not. In the multivariate Cox analysis, proteinuria in the NoIS group, crescents in the IS group and tubule interstitial damage in both groups were independent risk factors. The IS group had more severe risk factors than the NoIS group but attained a similar outcome.

description: Both sepsis and AKI are diseases of major concern in intensive care unit (ICU). This study aimed to evaluate the excess mortality attributable to sepsis for acute kidney injury (AKI). A propensity score-matched analysis on a multicenter prospective cohort study in 18 Chinese ICUs was performed. Propensity score was sequentially conducted to match AKI patients with and without sepsis on day 1, day 2, and day 3–5. The primary outcome was hospital death of AKI patients. A total of 2008 AKI patients (40.9%) were eligible for the study. Of the 1010 AKI patients with sepsis, 619 (61.3%) were matched to 619 AKI patients in whom sepsis did not develop during the screening period of the study. The hospital mortality rate of matched AKI patients with sepsis was 205 of 619 (33.1%) compared with 150 of 619 (24.0%) for their matched AKI controls without sepsis (p = 0.001). The attributable mortality of total sepsis for AKI patients was 9.1% (95% CI: 4.8–13.3%). Of the matched patients with sepsis, 328 (53.0%) diagnosed septic shock. The attributable mortality of septic shock for AKI was 16.2% (95% CI: 11.3–20.8%, p < 0.001). Further, the attributable mortality of sepsis for AKI was 1.4% (95% CI: 4.1–5.9%, p = 0.825). The attributable hospital mortality of total sepsis for AKI were 9.1%. Septic shock contributes to major excess mortality rate for AKI than sepsis. registration number ChiCTR-ECH-13003934

description: Diet management is an effective way to retard the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, very few studies investigated the influence of carbohydrate intake on CKD patients. In this prospective cohort study, the associations between carbohydrate intake and all-cause mortality were investigated in US adult CKD patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models and iso-caloric replacement analysis were used to investigate the associations between the macronutrients and the all-cause mortality risk. Total 3683 US adult CKD patients 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003–2014) were analyzed (mean age ± SD, 62.4 ± 17.1; 56.5% female), of which 1082 participants with CKD died with a median follow-up time of 67 (IQR 36–99) months. Most macronutrients were non-linearly associated with all-cause mortality risk, including carbohydrates and sugar. Participants with CKD had lower mortality risk when consuming 30–45% energy from carbohydrates (average HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.62–0.93, compared with 60%), 5–20% energy from sugar (average HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59–0.96 compared with 40%). Replacing the energy intake from carbohydrates with protein (up to 30%) and/or replacing the sugar with non-sugar carbohydrates (up to 55%) reduced the all-cause mortality risk, while the total energy intake remained constant. Diet advice should be given according to the current diet status, and constituents of carbohydrates should also be taken into consideration.

description: Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is a serious complication observed in peritoneal dialysis patients. Herein, we investigated the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of PD peritonitis in patients with different PD durations. All peritonitis episodes from January 2007 to December 2020 at Peking University People’s hospital PD center were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the long-dialysis duration (≥60 months, LDD) and short-dialysis duration (<60 months, SDD) groups. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between these groups. The risk factors for treatment failure were analyzed using a logistic regression model. During 14 years, 156 patients had 267 peritonitis episodes. There were 83 (31.1%) peritonitis episodes in the LDD group and 184 (68.9%) in the SDD group. No statistical difference was noted in peritonitis causes and the composition of causative pathogens between the two groups. The hospitalization, treatment failure, and transfer-to-hemodialysis rates, and peritonitis-related mortality were significantly higher in the LDD group than in the SDD group (all p < .05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that PD duration was an independent risk factor for PD-associated hospitalization, treatment failure and peritonitis-related death (p < .05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis results showed that when the cutoff value of PD duration was 5.5 years, the sensitivity of predicting PD peritonitis treatment failure was 51.1%, specificity was 78.8%, and the area under the curve was 0.679 (95% confidence interval: 0.594–0.765, p < .001). PD duration is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in PD peritonitis. Careful and active attention should be paid to the prevention of peritonitis in PD patients with long PD duration.

description: Described here are a series of novel approaches to beverage analysis, including targeted and untargeted analytical approaches, data curation, and statistical analyses. Targeted approaches include the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the detection of sulfur dioxide, nitrate, and thiols in wines and their ingredients. These methods are fast (<4 min/injection), precise (<4% RSD), sensitive (sub-mg/L LODs), and require little to no sample preparation, making them ideal for high-throughput applications, including routine analyses, as well as research-focused applications. The sulfur dioxide method has the added benefit of being more accurate than commonly used methods in red wines and ciders, as anthocyanins are known to interfere with the most widely used techniques.
description: Untargeted approaches include volatile and non-volatile profiling of whisk(e)ys and their ingredients using “Spiritomics”-based approaches to elucidate the complicated interactions between chemical composition of beverages and their ingredients, and the flavors and aromas experienced by consumers. These approaches were applied to barley breeding lines developed by Washington State University to grow more readily in the higher precipitation and lower temperature conditions west of the Cascades, to provide craft breweries and distilleries a more local source for grain. These techniques were also combined with sensory analysis by a trained sensory panel to elucidate how whisky aroma evolves under dilution with water, as would happen with an ice cube melting in a glass over time. Also included here are proposed studies that build on this work to continue to add to the body of knowledge.

description: Blood bone metabolic biomarkers are noninvasive indices for evaluating metabolic bone diseases. We investigated the relationships between blood bone metabolic biomarkers and anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and analyzed the effects of parathyroidectomy (PTX) on the above indices. In this cross-sectional study, 100 healthy controls and 239 CKD patients, including 46 secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) patients with PTX, were enrolled. Moreover, a prospective study was conducted in which 28 PTX patients were followed up. The degree of anemia was classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on the tertiles of hemoglobin (Hb) levels of the anemic CKD patients, with cutoff values of 83 g/L and 102 g/L. Bone metabolic biomarkers, including calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and α-klotho, were tested. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in CKD patients was 25.7 ± 36.0 ml/min/1.73 m2, and 84.10% of CKD patients had anemia. The baseline Hb levels in the mild, moderate, and severe anemia subgroups were 110.86 ± 5.99 g/L, 92.71 ± 5.96 g/L, and 67.38 ± 10.56 g/L, respectively. CKD patients had higher adjusted Ca, P, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), iPTH, and FGF23 levels and lower α-klotho levels than controls. Baseline adjusted Ca, P, iPTH, and α-klotho levels were associated with Hb levels in CKD patients. Blood adjusted Ca, P, and iPTH levels were correlated with anemia severity. After PTX (median interval: 6.88 months), anemia and high blood adjusted Ca, P, iPTH, and FGF23 levels were ameliorated, while α-klotho levels were increased. Blood adjusted Ca, P, iPTH, and α-klotho levels were correlated with Hb levels in CKD patients. Correction of bone metabolic disorders may be a therapeutic strategy for anemia treatment.

description: National holidays are associated with high mortality in some diseases, but little is known about patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The research aimed to investigate the impact of national holidays on the health outcomes of PD patients. Over ten years, all episodes of unplanned hospitalization, death, and peritonitis in PD patients were collected in our center. Seven national holidays in China were chosen, and non-holiday days were selected as the control period. The effect of national holidays was observed by comparing the hospitalization, death, and peritonitis rates between holiday and non-holiday groups. There were 297 events in all holiday periods and 1247 in non-holiday periods. There is no significant difference in hospitalization rate between holiday and non-holiday groups (32.4% ± 6.4% vs. 29.2% ± 3.4%, p = 0.175). So is the death rate [6.3% (4.8–12.3%) vs.5.0% (4.2–8.9%), p = 0.324] and peritonitis rate [0.19 (0.13–0.53) vs. 0.22 (0.18–0.27), p = 0.445] between the two groups. Significant differences were observed in the distribution of peritonitis causes between the two groups (p = 0.017). The rate of secondary to other infections in the holiday group was significantly higher than in the non-holiday group (25.0 vs. 10.3%, p = 0.015). Our study suggested no national holiday effect on health outcomes of PD patients based on ten-year data in our center.
