Differing dose details and controlling confounding covariates in modulating motor cortex excitability by transcranial direct current stimulation
Creators: name: Frohlich, Flavio

description: Dear Editor, We appreciate the recent letter that commented on our study of modulating motor cortex excitability by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). The main point of the letter was that our reported modulation of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) by tDCS was more consistent and thus had a larger effect size than previously reported results in the literature. We agree with the author that our results are much clearer than the ones from previous studies in the field and that the standard mean difference calculated for pairwise comparisons substantially exceeds what has been previously reported. Yet, there are several underappreciated aspects that can easily explain this difference in findings.

description: BACKGROUND: Several hypotheses may explain the association between substance use, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression. However, few studies have utilized a large multisite dataset to understand this complex relationship. Our study assessed the relationship between alcohol and cannabis use trajectories and PTSD and depression symptoms across 3 months in recently trauma-exposed civilians. METHODS: In total, 1618 (1037 female) participants provided self-report data on past 30-day alcohol and cannabis use and PTSD and depression symptoms during their emergency department (baseline) visit. We reassessed participant's substance use and clinical symptoms 2, 8, and 12 weeks posttrauma. Latent class mixture modeling determined alcohol and cannabis use trajectories in the sample. Changes in PTSD and depression symptoms were assessed across alcohol and cannabis use trajectories via a mixed-model repeated-measures analysis of variance. RESULTS: Three trajectory classes (low, high, increasing use) provided the best model fit for alcohol and cannabis use. The low alcohol use class exhibited lower PTSD symptoms at baseline than the high use class; the low cannabis use class exhibited lower PTSD and depression symptoms at baseline than the high and increasing use classes; these symptoms greatly increased at week 8 and declined at week 12. Participants who already use alcohol and cannabis exhibited greater PTSD and depression symptoms at baseline that increased at week 8 with a decrease in symptoms at week 12. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that alcohol and cannabis use trajectories are associated with the intensity of posttrauma psychopathology. These findings could potentially inform the timing of therapeutic strategies.

description: Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. SCCOHT tumors have inactivating mutations in SMARCA4 (BRG1), one of the two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. To address the role that BRG1 loss plays in SCCOHT tumorigenesis, we performed integrative multi-omic analyses in SCCOHT cell lines +/- BRG1 reexpression. BRG1 reexpression induced a gene and protein signature similar to an epithelial cell and gained chromatin accessibility sites correlated with other epithelial originating TCGA tumors. Gained chromatin accessibility and BRG1 recruited sites were strongly enriched for transcription-factor-binding motifs of AP-1 family members. Furthermore, AP-1 motifs were enriched at the promoters of highly upregulated epithelial genes. Using a dominant-negative AP-1 cell line, we found that both AP-1 DNA-binding activity and BRG1 reexpression are necessary for the gene and protein expression of epithelial genes. Our study demonstrates that BRG1 reexpression drives an epithelial-like gene and protein signature in SCCOHT cells that depends upon by AP-1 activity.

description: Aim: The contribution of miRNAs as epigenetic regulators of sexually dimorphic gene expression in the placenta is unknown. Materials & methods: 382 placentas from the extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGAN) cohort were evaluated for expression levels of 37,268 mRNAsÂ and 2,102 miRNAs using genome-wide RNA-sequencing. Differential expression analysis was used to identify differences in the expression based on the sex of the fetus. Results: Sexually dimorphic expression was observed for 128 mRNAs and 59 miRNAs. A set of 25 miRNA master regulators was identified that likely contribute to the sexual dimorphic mRNA expression. Conclusion: These data highlight sex-dependent miRNA and mRNA patterning in the placenta and provide insight into a potential mechanism for observedÂ sex differences in outcomes.

description: Background: The UNGASS target to reduce HIV prevalence by 25% among 15-25 year olds living in the most affected countries by 2005 has not been met. In the absence of a vaccine or cure, behavioural interventions are the main strategy for HIV control. The ability of specific behaviour change
interventions to reduce HIV/STI incidence and unplanned pregnancies in young people remains unproven.
Methods: Since January 1999, an adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) intervention has been implemented in 10 randomly selected intervention communities in rural Tanzania, within a community randomised trial. The intervention consisted of teacher-led, peer-assisted in school education, youth-friendly health services, community activities and youth condom promotion and distribution. Process evaluation in 1999-2002 showed high intervention quality and coverage. From June 2007 to July 2008, in the specific research reported in this thesis, the long-term impact of the intervention was evaluated among 13,814 young people aged 17-27 years who had attended trial schools between 1999 and 2002.
Findings: Prevalences of HIV and HSV2 were 1.8% and 25.9% in males and 4.0% and 41.4% in females, respectively. The intervention did not significantly reduce risk of HIV (males adjusted prevalence ratio(aPR)=0.91; 95%CI:0.50-1.65; females aPR=1.07; 95%CI:0.68-1.67) or HSV2 (males aPR=0.94;95%CI:0.77-1.15; females aPR=0.96; 95%CI:0.87-1.06). The intervention was associated with a reduction in number of lifetime sexual partners reported by males (aPR=0.87; 95%CI:0.78-0.97) and an increase in reported condom use at last sex with a non-regular partner among females (aPR=1.34; 95%CI:1.07-1.69). There was a clear and consistent beneficial impact on knowledge, but no significant impact on reported attitudes to sexual risk, reported pregnancies or other reported sexual behaviours.
Interpretation: SRH knowledge can be improved and retained long-term, but this intervention had little effect on reported behaviour or HIV/STI prevalence. Youth interventions integrated within intensive, community-wide risk reduction programmes may be more successful and should be evaluated.

description: Higher-order visual thalamus plays a fundamental but poorly understood role in attention-demanding tasks. To investigate how neuronal dynamics in higher-order visual thalamus are modulated by sustained attention, we performed multichannel electrophysiological recordings in the lateral posterior-pulvinar complex (LP/pulvinar) in the ferret (Mustela putorius furo). We recorded single unit activity and local field potential (LFP) during the performance of the five-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT), which is used in both humans and animals as an assay of sustained attention. We found that half of the units exhibited an increasing firing rate during the delay period before stimulus onset (attention-modulated units). In contrast, the non-attention-modulated units responded to the stimulus, but not during the delay period. Spike-field coherence (SFC) of only the attention-modulated neurons significantly increased from the start of the delay period until screen touch, predominantly in the θ frequency band. In addition, θ power and θ/γ phase amplitude coupling (PAC) were elevated throughout the delay period. Our findings suggest that the θ oscillation plays a central role in orchestrating thalamic signaling during sustained attention.

title: On aspects of robustness and sensitivity in missing data methods

description: Missing data are common wherever statistical methods are applied in practice. They present a problem by demanding that additional untestable assumptions be made about the mechanism leading to the incompleteness of the data. Minimising the strength of these assumptions and assessing the sensitivity of conclusions to their possible violation constitute two important aspects of current research in this area.
One attractive approach is the doubly robust (DR) weighting-based method proposed by Robins and colleagues. By incorporating two models for the missing data process, inferences are valid when at least one model is correctly specified. The balance between robustness, efficiency and analytical complexity is one which is difficult to strike, resulting in a split between the likelihood and multiple imputation (MI) school on one hand and the weighting and DR school on the other.
We propose a new method, doubly robust multiple imputation (DRMI), combining the convenience of MI with the robustness of the DR approach, and explore the use of our new estimator for non-monotone missing at random data, a setting in which, hitherto, estimators with the DR property have not been implemented. We apply the method to data from a clinical trial comparing type II diabetes drugs, where we also use MI as a tool to explore sensitivity to the missing at random assumption. Finally, we study DRMI in the longitudinal binary data setting and find that it compares favourably with existing methods.

description: Aim: The placenta–brain axis reflects a developmental linkage where disrupted placental function is associated with impaired neurodevelopment later in life. Placental gene expression and the expression of epigenetic modifiers such as miRNAs may be tied to these impairments and are understudied. Materials & methods: The expression levels of mRNAs (n = 37,268) and their targeting miRNAs (n = 2083) were assessed within placentas collected from the ELGAN study cohort (n = 386). The ELGAN adolescents were assessed for neurocognitive function at age 10 and the association with placental mRNA/miRNAs was determined. Results: Placental mRNAs related to inflammatory and apoptotic processes are under miRNA control and associated with cognitive impairment at age 10. Conclusion: Findings highlight key placenta epigenome–brain relationships that support the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis.

description: Background: The Integrated Clinical and Environmental Exposures Service (ICEES) serves as an open-source, disease-agnostic, regulatory-compliant framework and approach for openly exposing and exploring clinical data that have been integrated at the patient level with a variety of environmental exposures data. ICEES is equipped with tools to support basic statistical exploration of the integrated data in a completely open manner.

Objective: This study aims to further develop and apply ICEES as a novel tool for openly exposing and exploring integrated clinical and environmental data. We focus on an asthma use case.

Methods: We queried the ICEES open application programming interface (OpenAPI) using a functionality that supports chi-square tests between feature variables and a primary outcome measure, with a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (α=.001). We focused on 2 primary outcomes that are indicative of asthma exacerbations: annual emergency department (ED) or inpatient visits for respiratory issues; and annual prescriptions for prednisone.

Results: Of the 157,410 patients within the asthma cohort, 26,332 (16.73%) had 1 or more annual ED or inpatient visits for respiratory issues, and 17,056 (10.84%) had 1 or more annual prescriptions for prednisone. We found that close proximity to a major roadway or highway, exposure to high levels of particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) or ozone, female sex, Caucasian race, low residential density, lack of health insurance, and low household income were significantly associated with asthma exacerbations (P<.001). Asthma exacerbations did not vary by rural versus urban residence. Moreover, the results were largely consistent across outcome measures.

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the open-source ICEES can be used to replicate and extend published findings on factors that influence asthma exacerbations. As a disease-agnostic, open-source approach for integrating, exposing, and exploring patient-level clinical and environmental exposures data, we believe that ICEES will have broad adoption by other institutions and application in environmental health and other biomedical fields.
title: Novel approaches to sex-ratio studies in plasmodium falciparum
Creators: name: Schwank, S
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

description: Malaria parasites are able to alter the number of male and female gametocytes produced, thereby changing the sex ratio of the reproductive stages. Alteration of the sex ratio has been suggested to increase the reproductive oputput under different conditions, thereby maximizing the transmission success and influencing the epidemiology of this disease.
The only existing method for quantifying sex ratios of P. Jalciparum is based on the visual identification of male and female gametocytes by light microscopy. However, this method is limited, as it only allows studying microscopically detectable gametocyte densities found in natural infections and parasites at sub-microscopic levels are not accounted for. A new and more accurate method for estimating sex ratios of P. Jalciparum, which includes large sample sizes obtained by magnetic purification, is described here. In this study light microscopy, immunofluorescent antibody detection (IFA) and quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to estimate sex ratios in P. Jalciparum.
The qRT-PCR assay allowed measurement of mRNA expression levels for sexspecific and sexual stage proteins in a multiplex analysis. The female specific protein Pfg377 (PFL2405c) and the putative male specific protein Alpha-tubulin II (PFD1050w) were used to quantify either female or male gametocytes, with Pfs16 (pFD0310w) and Pfs25 (PFlO_0303) serving to quantify the total number of gametocytes present. Results suggest that Alpha-tubulin II is not in fact a male specific protein, whereas Pfg377 was found to be only present in female gametocytes. Different patterns of gene expression during gametocytogenesis have been identified for the four key sexual stage genes in a multiplex assay. Relative expression data of Pfg377 versus Pfs 16 or Pfs25 reveal that the quantification of sex ratios from small volumes of gametocyte-positive blood is possible, and should be applicable for using finger-prick peripheral blood samples from gametocyte carriers.
