description:
Scientific reproducibility that effectively leverages existing study data is critical to the advancement of research in many disciplines including neuroscience, which uses imaging and electrophysiology modalities as primary endpoints or key dependency in studies. We are developing an integrated search platform called NeuroBridge to enable researchers to search for relevant study datasets that can be used to test a hypothesis or replicate a published finding without having to perform a difficult search from scratch, including contacting individual study authors and locating the site to download the data. In this paper, we describe the development of a metadata ontology based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) PROV specifications to create a corpus of semantically annotated published papers. This annotated corpus was used in a deep learning model to support automated identification of candidate datasets related to neurocognitive assessment of subjects with drug abuse or schizophrenia using neuroimaging. We built on our previous work in the Provenance for Clinical and Health Research (ProvCaRe) project to model metadata information in the NeuroBridge ontology and used this ontology to annotate 51 articles using a Web-based tool called Inception. The Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) neural network model, which was trained using the annotated corpus, is used to classify and rank papers relevant to five research hypotheses and the results were evaluated independently by three users for accuracy and recall. Our combined use of the NeuroBridge ontology together with the deep learning model outperforms the existing PubMed Central (PMC) search engine and manifests considerable trainability and transparency compared with typical free-text search.

Metabolism and Utilization of Non-Protein Nitrogen Sources as Protein Sources in Ruminants

description: Ruminants possess a unique stomach physiology that allows them to use various forms of dietary nitrogen (N) as protein sources. Ruminant diets often include non-protein nitrogen (NPN) compounds, which, while not proteins themselves, can be converted into proteins by rumen microbes. Consequently, NPN compounds provide an alternative source of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N) essential for microbial protein (MCP) synthesis in the rumen. MCP is a crucial source of metabolizable protein for ruminants and, in certain conditions, may be the sole amino acid source for tissue and product synthesis. Ruminants can utilize NPN compounds effectively without having the enzymes needed to degrade them. The inclusion of NPN compounds in ruminant diets can enhance feed intake and efficiency and serve as a cost-effective substitute for traditional protein supplements. However, sudden or excessive NPN supplementation can adversely impact MCP synthesis, feed digestion, and overall animal production, potentially leading to toxicity and environmental nitrogen release. Understanding N metabolism in the rumen and optimizing its use are key to harnessing the benefits of NPN compounds while mitigating negative effects on animal health and the environment. This study aims to review recent literature on the metabolism and utilization of NPN compounds in ruminants.

description:
The human brain development experiences a complex evolving cortical folding from a smooth surface to a convoluted ensemble of folds. Computational modeling of brain development has played an essential role in better understanding the process of cortical folding, but still leaves many questions to be answered. A major challenge faced by computational models is how to create massive brain developmental simulations with affordable computational sources to complement neuroimaging data and provide reliable predictions for brain folding. In this study, we leveraged the power of machine learning in data augmentation and prediction to develop a machine-learning-based finite element surrogate model to expedite brain computational simulations, predict brain folding morphology, and explore the underlying folding mechanism. To do so, massive finite element method (FEM) mechanical models were run to simulate brain development using the predefined brain patch growth models with adjustable surface curvature. Then, a GAN-based machine learning model was trained and validated with these produced computational data to predict brain folding morphology given a predefined initial configuration. The results indicate that the machine learning models can predict the complex morphology of folding patterns, including 3-hinge gyral folds. The close agreement between the folding patterns observed in FEM results and those predicted by machine learning models validate the feasibility of the proposed approach, offering a promising avenue to predict the brain development with given fetal brain configurations.

Recent work in natural language processing (NLP) has yielded appealing results from scaling model parameters and training data; however, using only scale to improve performance means that resource consumption also grows. Such resources include data, time, storage, or energy, all of which are naturally limited and unevenly distributed. This motivates research into efficient methods that require fewer resources to achieve similar results. This survey synthesizes and relates current methods and findings in efficient NLP. We aim to provide both guidance for conducting NLP under limited resources, and point towards promising research directions for developing more efficient methods.

Background Timely differentiating between pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD), which are radiographically similar, is important because infectiousness and treatment differ. This study aimed to evaluate whether artificial intelligence could distinguish between TB or NTM-LD patients by chest X-rays (CXRs) from suspects of mycobacterial lung disease.  Methods A total of 1500 CXRs, including 500 each from patients with pulmonary TB, NTM-LD, and patients with clinical suspicion but negative mycobacterial culture (Imitator) from two hospitals, were retrospectively collected and evaluated in this study. We developed a deep neural network (DNN) and evaluated model performance using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) in both internal and external test sets. Furthermore, we conducted a reader study and tested our model under three scenarios of different mycobacteria prevalence. Results Among the internal and external test sets, the AUCs of our DNN model were 0.83 ± 0.005 and 0.76 ± 0.006 for pulmonary TB, 0.86 ± 0.006 and 0.64 ± 0.017 for NTM-LD, and 0.77 ± 0.007 and 0.74 ± 0.005 for Imitator. The DNN model showed higher performance on the internal test set in classification accuracy (66.5 ± 2.5%) than senior (50.8 ± 3.0%, p < 0.001) and junior pulmonologists (47.5 ± 2.8%, p < 0.001). Among different prevalence scenarios, the DNN model has stable performance in terms of AUC to detect TB and mycobacterial lung disease. Conclusion DNN model had satisfactory performance and a higher accuracy than pulmonologists on classifying patients with presumptive mycobacterial lung diseases. DNN model could be a complementary first-line screening tool.

Objective. Prompt identification and recognization of myocardial ischemia/infarction (MI) is the most important goal in the management of acute coronary syndrome. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used as the initial screening tool for patients with chest pain but its diagnostic accuracy remains limited. There is early evidence that machine learning (ML) algorithms applied to ECG waveforms can improve performance. Most studies are designed to classify MI from healthy controls and thus are limited due to the lack of consideration of ECG abnormalities from other cardiac conditions, leading to false positives. Moreover, clinical information beyond ECG has not yet been well leveraged in existing ML models.Approach.The present study considered downstream clinical implementation scenarios in the initial model design by dichotomizing study recordings from a public large-scale ECG dataset into a MI class and a non-MI class with the inclusion of MI-confounding conditions. Two experiments were conducted to systematically investigate the impact of two important factors entrained in the modeling process, including the duration of ECG, and the value of multimodal information for model training. A novel multimodal deep learning architecture was proposed to learn joint features from both ECG and patient demographics.Main results.The multimodal model achieved better performance than the ECG-only model, with a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 92.1% and a mean accuracy of 87.4%, which is on par with existing studies despite the increased task difficulty due to the new class definition. By investigation of model explainability, it revealed the contribution of patient information in model performance and clinical concordance of the model's attention with existing clinical insights.Significance.The findings in this study help guide the development of ML solutions for prompt MI detection and move the models one step closer to real-world clinical applications.

description: Sexueller Missbrauch an Kindern unterliegt immer noch einem hohen Tabuthema, umso mehr, wenn der Missbrauch in der Familie stattfindet. Eine Missbrauchserfahrung im jungen Kindesalter bedeutet für die meisten Betroffenen einen schweren Einschnitt ins Leben mit erheblichen Folgen. Doch nicht nur das Kind ist von dieser Tat betroffen, sondern auch sein näheres Umfeld. Wie die Familie auf die Tat reagiert und es ihnen gelingt das Kind in der Bearbeitung des Geschehens zu unterstützen, hat einen erheblichen Einfluss darauf, wie das Kind die Tat verarbeiten kann. Dadurch, dass die ausgelösten Reaktionen des Umfeldes für das Kind und seine gesunde Entwicklung von hoher Bedeutung sind, ist es in der Beratung unbedingt notwendig, die Familie miteinzubeziehen. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit betrachtet die risikohaften und schützenden Faktoren eines Kindes nach der Aufdeckung von sexuellem Missbrauch. Hierfür wurde eine Übersicht über die verschiedenen Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren anhand der Ebene des Kindes, der Ebene der Familie, der Ebene des familiären und sozialen Umfeldes und der Ebene der Gesellschaft erstellt. Aufgrund der Wichtigkeit des Familiensystems, wurden diese Faktoren mit den unterschiedlichen Reaktionen der Familie und dessen Umfeld in eine Verbindung gesetzt. Dies ermöglicht es, in dieser Arbeit spezifisch auf Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren einzugehen, welche im Verarbeitungsprozess zu fördern oder minimieren sind. Die Beratung und Begleitung von einem sexuell missbrauchten Kind und dessen nicht-missbrauchenden Elternteil braucht spezifisches Wissen und somit erlaubt es diese Arbeit hierfür erarbeitete Handlungsoptionen für die Soziale Arbeit konkret darzustellen.

description:
Chronic pain is a costly and debilitating problem in the United States, and its burdens are exacerbated among socially disadvantaged and stigmatized groups. In a cross-sectional study of Black Veterans with chronic pain at the Atlanta VA Health Care System (N = 380), we used path analysis to explore the roles of racialized discrimination in health care settings, pain self-efficacy, and pain-related fear avoidance beliefs as potential mediators of pain outcomes among Black Veterans with and without an electronic health record-documented mental health diagnosis. In unadjusted bivariate analyses, Black Veterans with a mental health diagnosis (n = 175) reported marginally higher levels of pain-related disability and significantly higher levels of pain interference compared to those without a mental health diagnosis (n = 205). Path analyses revealed that pain-related disability, pain intensity, and pain interference were mediated by higher levels of racialized discrimination in health care and lower pain self-efficacy among Black Veterans with a mental health diagnosis. Pain-related fear avoidance beliefs did not mediate pain outcomes. These findings highlight the need to improve the quality and effectiveness of health care for Black patients with chronic pain through the implementation of antiracism interventions within health care systems. Results further suggest that Black patients with chronic pain who have a mental health diagnosis may benefit from targeted pain management strategies that focus on building self-efficacy for managing pain. PERSPECTIVE: Racialized health care discrimination and pain self-efficacy mediated differences in pain-related disability, pain intensity, and pain interference among Black Veterans with and without a mental health diagnosis. Findings highlight the need for antiracism interventions within health care systems in order to improve the quality of care for Black patients with chronic pain.

description:
Research shows that a diverse faculty improves academic, clinical, and research outcomes in higher education. Despite that, persons in minority groups, usually categorized by race or ethnicity, are underrepresented in academia (URiA). The Nutrition Obesity Research Centers (NORCs), supported by the NIDDK, hosted workshops on five separate days in September and October 2020. NORCs convened these workshops to identify barriers and facilitators for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and provide specific recommendations to improve DEI within obesity and nutrition for individuals from URiA groups. Recognized experts on DEI presented each day, after which the NORCs conducted breakout sessions with key stakeholders who engage in nutrition and obesity research. The breakout session groups included early-career investigators, professional societies, and academic leadership. The consensus from the breakout sessions was that glaring inequities affect URiA in nutrition and obesity, particularly related to recruitment, retention, and advancement. Recommendations from the breakout sessions to improve DEI across the academe focused on six themes: (1) recruitment, (2) retention, (3) advancement, (4) intersectionality of multiple challenges (e.g., being Black and a woman), (5) funding agencies, and (6) implementation of strategies to address problems related to DEI.

description: Ein brennendes Thema in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft sind die Flüchtlingsdebatte und Integrationspolitik. 0.9 Prozent der schweizerischen Wohnbevölkerung sind anerkannte Flüchtlinge (FL) und Vorläufig Aufgenommene (VA). Beide Gruppen haben grundsätzlich einen uneingeschränkten Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt und sind arbeitsrechtlich den Schweizerinnen und Schweizern gleichgestellt. Ihre realen Chancen auf eine Erwerbsarbeit sind aber aus verschiedenen Gründen (z.B. schlechte Sprachkenntnisse und Grundkompetenzen, Mangel an beruflicher Qualifikation oder Nichtanerkennung der Qualifikation des Heimatlandes, das lange Asylverfahren, sowie gesundheitliche und soziale Probleme) gering. In der Schweiz geniesst die Erwerbsarbeit einen hohen Stellenwert. Sie dient zum einen der Sicherung des Lebensunterhaltes, zum anderen ist sie für die Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben und für die soziale Integration von grundlegender Bedeutung. Die vorliegende Literaturarbeit setzt sich mit dem Thema „Arbeitsintegration von anerkannten FL und VA in der Schweiz“ auseinander. Sie zeigt zuerst auf, wie sich die Situation der Zielgruppe momentan bezüglich Arbeitsintegration zeigt. Danach wird die Bedeutung der Arbeit allgemein erläutert und aufgezeigt, wie die herausfordernden Faktoren bei der Zielgruppe mit möglichen Handlungsempfehlungen bewältigt werden können und wie die Hindernisse zu vermeiden sind. Am Schluss werden aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen Handlungsansätze für Sozialarbeitende vorgeschlagen.

BACKGROUND: Black adults are disproportionately affected by asthma and are often considered a homogeneous group in research studies despite cultural and ancestral differences. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine if asthma morbidity differs across adults in Black ethnic subgroups. METHODS: Adults with moderate-severe asthma were recruited across the continental United States and Puerto Rico for the PREPARE (PeRson EmPowered Asthma RElief) trial. Using self-identifications, we categorized multiethnic Black (ME/B) participants (n = 226) as Black Latinx participants (n = 146) or Caribbean, continental African, or other Black participants (n = 80). African American (AA/B) participants (n = 518) were categorized as Black participants who identified their ethnicity as being American. Baseline characteristics and retrospective asthma morbidity measures (self-reported exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroids [SCs], emergency department/urgent care [ED/UC] visits, hospitalizations) were compared across subgroups using multivariable regression. RESULTS: Compared with AA/B participants, ME/B participants were more likely to be younger, residing in the US Northeast, and Spanish speaking and to have lower body mass index, health literacy, and <1 comorbidity, but higher blood eosinophil counts. In a multivariable analysis, ME/B participants were significantly more likely to have ED/UC visits (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.04-1.72) and SC use (IRR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.00-1.62) for asthma than AA/B participants. Of the ME/B subgroups, Puerto Rican Black Latinx participants (n = 120) were significantly more likely to have ED/UC visits (IRR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.22-2.21) and SC use for asthma (IRR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.06-1.92) than AA/B participants. There were no significant differences in hospitalizations for asthma among subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: ME/B adults, specifically Puerto Rican Black Latinx adults, have higher risk of ED/UC visits and SC use for asthma than other Black subgroups.

Climate change will shape the future of Russia, and vice versa, regardless of who rules in the Kremlin. The world's largest country is warming faster than Earth as a whole, occupies more than half the Arctic Ocean coastline, and is waging a carbon‐intensive war while increasingly isolated from the international community and its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Officially, the Russian government argues that, as a major exporter of hydrocarbons, Russia benefits from maintaining global reliance on fossil fuels and from climate change itself, because warming may increase the extent and quality of its arable land, open a new year‐round Arctic sea route, and make its harsh climate more livable. Drawing on the collective expertise of a large group of Russia‐focused social scientists and a comprehensive literature review, we challenge this narrative. We find that Russia suffers from a variety of impacts due to climate change and is poorly prepared to adapt to these impacts. The literature review reveals that the fates of Russia's hydrocarbon‐dependent economy, centralized political system, and climate‐impacted population are intertwined and that research is needed on this evolving interrelationship, as global temperatures rise and the international economy decarbonizes in response.

The significance of youth suicide as a public health concern is underscored by the fact that it is the second-leading cause of death for youth globally. While suicide rates for White groups have declined, there has been a precipitous rise in suicide deaths and suicide-related phenomena in Black youth; rates remain high among Native American/Indigenous youth. Despite these alarming trends, there are very few culturally tailored suicide risk assessment measures or procedures for youth from communities of color. This article attempts to address this gap in the literature by examining the cultural relevancy of currently widely used suicide risk assessment instruments, research on suicide risk factors, and approaches to risk assessment for youth from communities of color. It also notes that researchers and clinicians should consider other, nontraditional but important factors in suicide risk assessment, including stigma, acculturation, and racial socialization, as well as environmental factors like health care infrastructure and exposure to racism and community violence. The article concludes with recommendations for factors that should be considered in suicide risk assessment for youth from communities of color.

OBJECTIVE: Accurate estimation of kidney function is critical among persons with HIV (PWH) to avoid under-dosing of antiretroviral therapies and ensure timely referral for kidney transplantation. Existing estimation equations for kidney function include race, the appropriateness of which has been debated. Given advancements in understanding of race and the necessity of accuracy in kidney function estimation, this study aimed to examine whether race, or genetic factors, improved prediction of serum creatinine among PWH. DESIGN: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the Center for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems cohort (2008-2018). The outcome was baseline serum creatinine. METHODS: Ordinary least squares regression was used to examine whether inclusion of race or genetic factors [ apolipoprotein-L1 ( APOL1 ) variants and genetic African ancestry] improved serum creatinine prediction. A reduction in root mean squared error (RMSE) greater than 2% was a clinically relevant improvement in predictive ability. RESULTS: There were 4183 PWH included. Among PWH whose serum creatinine was less than 1.7 mg/dl, race was significantly associated with serum creatinine ( β  = 0.06, SE = 0.01, P  < 0.001) but did not improve predictive ability. African ancestry and APOL1 variants similarly failed to improve predictive ability. Whereas, when serum creatinine was at least 1.7 mg/dl, inclusion of race reduced the RMSE by 2.1%, indicating improvement in predictive ability. APOL1 variants further improved predictive ability by reducing the RMSE by 2.9%. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that, among PWH, inclusion of race or genetic factors may only be warranted at higher serum creatinine levels. Work eliminating existing healthcare disparities while preserving the utility of estimating equations is needed.

INTRODUCTION: A Chinese clinical trial has demonstrated that a prosocial pay-it-forward intervention that offered subsidized vaccination and postcard messages effectively increased influenza vaccine uptake and vaccine confidence. This secondary analysis explored the potential mediating role of vaccine confidence on the association between a pay-it-forward intervention and influenza vaccine uptake, and how this might vary by individual annual income levels. METHODS: Data from 300 participants (150 standard-of-care and 150 pay-it-forward participants) were included in the analysis. We conducted descriptive analysis of demographic and vaccine confidence variables. Multivariable regression and mediation analysis on interventions, vaccine confidence and vaccine uptake were conducted. A sub-group analysis was conducted to further understand whether associations between these variables vary by income levels (<=$1860 or >$1860). RESULTS: The pay-it-forward intervention was significantly associated with greater levels of perceived influenza vaccine importance (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.60, 95 %CI: 1.77-7.32), effectiveness (aOR = 3.37, 95 %CI: 1.75-6.52) and safety (aOR = 2.20, 95 %CI: 1.17-4.15). Greater perceived influenza vaccine importance was associated with increased vaccine uptake (aOR = 8.51, 95 %CI: 3.04-23.86). The indirect effect of the pay-it-forward intervention on vaccination was significant through improved perceived influenza vaccine importance (indirect effect1 = 0.07, 95 %CI: 0.02-0.11). This study further revealed that, irrespective of the individual income level, the pay-it-forward intervention was associated with increased vaccine uptake when compared to the standard-of-care approach. CONCLUSIONS: Pay-it-forward intervention may be a promising strategy to improve influenza vaccine uptake. Perceived confidence in vaccine importance appears to be a potential mediator of the association between pay-it-forward and vaccine uptake.
