Abstract:
>Magister Scientiae - MSc
Many South African Deaf people use their mobile phones for communication with SMSs yet they would prefer to converse in South African Sign Language. Deaf people with a capital `D' are different from deaf or hard of hearing as they primarily use sign language to communicate. This study explores how to design and evaluate a prototype that will allow a Deaf person using SASL to tell a hearing doctor how s/he is feeling and provide a way for the doctor to respond. A computer{based prototype was designed and evaluated with the Deaf people in a previous study. Results from the user trial of the computer{based mock{up indicated that Deaf users would like to see the prototype on a cell phone. Those user trial results, combined with our own user survey results conducted with Deaf people, are used as requirements. We built a prototype for a mobile phone browser by embedding SASL videos inside XHTML pages using Adobe Flash. The prototype asks medical questions using SASL videos. These questions are arranged in an organized way that helps in identifying a medical problem. The answers to the questions are then displayed in English and shown to the doctor on the phone. A content authoring tool was also designed and implemented. The content authoring tool is used for populating the prototype in a context free manner allowing for plug and play scenarios such as a doctor's office, Department of Home A airs or police station. A focus group consisting of Deaf people was conducted to help in the design and pilot trial of the system. A final user trial was conducted with more than thirty Deaf people and the results are presented and analyzed. Data is collected with questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and video recordings. The results indicate that most of the Deaf people found the system easy to learn, easy to navigate through, did not get lost and understood the sign language in the videos on the mobile phone. The hand gestures and facial expressions on the sign language videos were clear. Most of them indicated they would like to use the system for free, and that the system did not ask too many questions. Most of them were happy with the quality of the sign language videos on the mobile phone and would consider using the system in real life. Finally they felt their private information was safe while using the system.

Abstract:
Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most severe digestive tract emergencies in neonates, involving bowel edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis, and can lead to serious complications including death. Since it is difficult to diagnose early, the morbidity and mortality rates are high due to severe complications in later stages of NEC and thus early detection is key to the treatment of NEC. In this thesis, a novel automatic image acquisition and analysis system combining a color and depth (RGB-D) sensor with an infrared (IR) camera is proposed for NEC diagnosis. A design for sensors configuration and a data acquisition process are introduced. A calibration method between the three cameras is described which aims to ensure frames synchronization and observation consistency among the color, depth, and IR images. Subsequently, complete segmentation procedures based on the original color, depth, and IR information are proposed to automatically separate the human body from the background, remove other interfering items, identify feature points on the human body joints, distinguish the human torso and limbs, and extract the abdominal region of interest. Finally, first-order statistical analysis is performed on thermal data collected over the entire extracted abdominal region to compare differences in thermal data distribution between different patient groups. Experimental validation in a real clinical environment is reported and shows encouraging results.

Abstract:
The excellent soft tissue contrast of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) makes it an invaluable tool for guiding and monitoring interventional procedures. This has encouraged the development of MR compatible manipulators capable of combining the high precision and repeatability of robotic systems with the image capabilities of MRI. A system capable of performing transrectal prostate biopsy inside a high field 1.5T MRI scanner was developed to improve the pathological diagnosis of prostate cancer. The 5 DOF device is actuated using piezoceramic motors and can position an endorectal probe inside of the rectum in order to align a biopsy needle to a target position in the prostate. A specially developed MR pulse sequence was capable of tracking two passive fiducials in the head of the endorectal probe, and could thus update the image scan planes to always include the biopsy needle. Phantom tests demonstrate the needle target accuracy was always within the \pm3mm limit specified in the requirements. A preliminary clinical trial has been performed with the manipulator showing a very successful outcome. A second system developed was able to position limbs at a desired orientation within the confined space of a closed bore scanner in order to exploit the magic angle effect to aid diagnosis of tendinous and other muskoloskeletal injury. The 3 DOF device can position tendons in the hand, knee and ankle, proving to be very versatile. The system kinematics were derived such that the device can locate the target tissue as close as possible to the isocentre, while avoiding collision between the patient anatomy and the scanner bore. Preliminary clinical trials with healthy volunteers were performed, where the signal at the Achilles tendon was measured as a function of orientation, showing clear magic angle effects in accordance with the theory.

Wenzel, Virginia. "Use of electronic health records to aid in pediatric obesity diagnosis." Thesis, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1601009.

Full text
Abstract:

Background: Obesity has recently been classified by the American Medical Association (AMA) as a disease which, if unrecognized and unaddressed in childhood, causes multiple medical and psychological complications that can impact both personal and population health. Unprecedented funding is being invested in electronic health records to improve quality, safety, and delivery of healthcare and reduce healthcare costs. Scant literature has evaluated the use of aids in the electronic health record (EHR) to identify obesity.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent the tools available in an EHR for automatic Body Mass Index (BMI) calculation based on height and weight documentation are used by pediatricians to correctly identify obesity in children. Secondary objectives were to evaluate quality of data input (discrete vs. free text) and see if there is any variation in rates of identification among patients of different socio-demographic characteristics and trainees of different levels.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review for patients aged 2–18 years seen for a well-child visit at New York Presbyterian Hospital between January 2011 and January 2014, where it is standard practice at these visits to take height and weight measurements. The EHR automatically populates these values onto growth curves, converting them into BMI with percentiles. Standardized definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2010 were used to qualify overweight and obese based on BMI. We determined the percentage of patients who were overweight or obese (based on CDC percentiles) that had the diagnosis identified by the pediatrician, and then assessed the quality of data input. We assessed laboratory follow up and referrals for all patients, and assessed for demographic differences among patients properly and not properly documented by providers as obese or overweight.

Results: We reviewed 700 charts in total. Inclusion criteria were all of the patients who had a BMI between 85–95% (these were grouped as overweight) and a BMI over 95% (obese). 209 patients were overweight or obese and therefore eligible for inclusion. Of the 209 clinically overweight/obese children, 72.2% had some form of documentation of this diagnosis, although the diagnosis was documented more often in the obese vs. overweight child. The diagnosis was most often captured electronically in the free text progress note. Over half of clinically overweight/obese children aged ≥8 years did not receive follow-up standard laboratory testing, and only about one-quarter of clinically overweight/obese children had documented in-office nutrition guidance. Diagnosis of overweight was higher in females, but it was almost twice as likely that an obese male would be documented as such. Results showed no identification variation based on age or race/ethnicity. There was no difference in recognition of obesity/overweight based on postgraduate year (PGY) or nurse practitioner (NP) status.

Conclusion: Despite its importance as a public health priority for children, automatic calculation of BMI by use of an EHR led to documentation by a provider as a child being overweight/obese only three quarters of the time. This study suggests that despite increasing focus on using EHRs to improve individual and population health, including for obesity, clinical decision support remains underutilized.

Abstract:
Using the practical approaches developed for the research project, Imagining Autism, the PhD investigates whether engagement in a play-based drama environment can help aid the diagnostic process and understanding of autism. The research has used drama workshops to see if these can enhance the profile of strengths, difficulties and differences obtained in a more traditional clinical diagnostic assessment. The exploratory study also seeks to see whether the ADOS (the clinical assessment tool) can be completed in a different environment and if there is agreement between the two settings on these scores. In addition to this, what supplementary information may be provided about the individuals because of their engagement in this drama environment. Eight participants (aged 3 - 11 years) were recruited through the NHS and had gone through the clinical assessment. They engaged in the arctic environment twice, where they encountered puppets, props and full-body characters e.g. the slapstick snowman, in play-based interactions with trained practitioners. The sessions were documented and analysis occurred afterwards, using a novel coding framework, and additional information obtained from parents and practitioners. These were then compared to the clinical assessment scores and reports, to test the hypotheses. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis will compare the two sets of information from the different environments, seeking to present a more holistic and rounded view, focusing not only on the difficulties but also on the strengths of the individual.

Carey, Duane Owen. "The development of novel adjuncts to aid in the diagnosis of Epithelial Misplacement." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2013. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/8425.

Full text
Abstract:
Epithelial Misplacement (EM) is a benign phenomenon that occurs within polyps most commonly associated with the sigmoid colon. It is brought about because of the colons convulsive nature and this forces a polyps surface epithelium into its submucosa and also causes bleeding. This is problematic as the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) uses positive Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) test results to identify patients that require pathological review. As EM polyps bleed, they get selected for assessment and this results in them being sectioned and stained. In these cross sections, submucosal glandular tissue will be found that looks like it has formed due to metastatic mechanisms. This can lead to ambiguous diagnoses that will cause some patients to undergo unnecessary surgery. It is postulated that this can be prevented if the continuity of the EM samples could be measured. This is because only in the EM cases will the submucosal epithelial tissue remain in continuity with the surface. To test this, volumes representative of 9 samples of cancer and 13 cases of EM were segmented and their number of 26 three dimensional (3D) connected components were recorded. These were used with the 99% confidence limits of the two tailed Mann Whitney U Statistic and tested the null hypothesis that the cancer cases were as connected as the EM samples. In this instance, no significant differences were found and so the benefit of measuring the connectivity of these pathologies is questionable. It was because of this that Immunohistochemical (IHC) alternatives were considered. It was found that Collagen IV antibody staining correctly differentiated nine samples of EM from ten cases of cancer. The Mann Whitney U Statistic found this to be highly significant, p < 0.001, and future investigations should concentrate on automating this analysis. Although, Collagen IV provided a good classification it relied upon the subjective assessment of a pathologist. Therefore, the use of epithelial specific IR spectra was also investigated and this enabled the eleven EM and nine cancer cases that were investigated to be accurately classified 80% of the time upon cross validation. The collection of epithelial specific spectra relied upon a novel digital staining technique that has much application within future research. This study demonstrates that the intermodal registration of complementary modalities is of benefit to the disease classification problem. This technique has potential to be used in the correct identification of EM but more work is required.

Abstract:
Colonoscopy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. During a colonoscopy, a flexible endoscope is inserted into the patient’s colon to inspect the inner wall of the large intestine, from the rectum to the caecum. This procedure is very important for cancer screening and can yield early diagnosis. Colon cancer is 85–95% successfully treated if detected early; however, there is only a 30% compliance rate for the procedure in the United States. This low compliance rate for the examination is largely due to its uncomfortable nature, caused by difficulties in blind scope manipulation, and “looping” of the endoscope which can lead to stretching and perforation of the bowel [1] (Figure 1).

Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) is an efficient method for noninductive current drive in fusion devices. The LHCD system has been constructed on the Experimental Advanced Superconduct Tokamak (EAST). It is a complex system due to lots of devices involved. Each device has possibility of faults, which causes great difficulties in fault diagnosis. Consequently, a fault diagnosis expert system is essential for a safe and steady operation of the LHCD system. This paper proposes an expert system called LFDES (lower hybrid current drive fault diagnosis expert system) to aid operators in diagnosing and analyzing abnormal situations of the LHCD system. After a brief description of the structure of LHCD system, the LFDES architecture, the knowledge base, the inference engine and the database are presented in detail. Based on an empirical knowledge, the diagnostic tree of LHCD system is built. A fuzzy group multiple attribute decision making method is used to determine the priorities of nodes in the diagnostic tree. KDevelop tool, QT Designer tool and Linux operation system have been used in developing the proposed system. In the study, satisfactory results were obtained. The analyses of the results indicated that LFDES can provide reliable, efficient and economical service.

Abstract:
Coronavirus (COVID-19) has grown to be one of the most dangerous and acute illnesses in recent years, and it has now spread across the globe. In order to prevent COVID-19, early detection of the Coronavirus is necessary. Using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM), we have suggested a model for automatically diagnosing COVID-19 from X-ray images. In this model, CNN is used to extract deep features, while LSTM is utilized to identify those features. The proposed method can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19. As a final step, this technology will be able to accurately detect the severity of the disease in the lungs and provide it with an automated diagnostic. This model will be hosted on the website so that hospital visits may be minimized and diagnosis can be delivered at home, if necessary, thereby giving a solution for COVID-19 containment.

Abstract:
Objective. The systematic review assessed evidence on the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents to inform a planned update of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines. Data sources. We searched PubMed®, Embase®, PsycINFO®, ERIC, clinicaltrials.gov, and prior reviews for primary studies published since 1980. The report includes studies published to June 15, 2023. Review methods. The review followed a detailed protocol and was supported by a Technical Expert Panel. Citation screening was facilitated by machine learning; two independent reviewers screened full text citations for eligibility. We abstracted data using software designed for systematic reviews. Risk of bias assessments focused on key sources of bias for diagnostic and intervention studies. We conducted strength of evidence (SoE) and applicability assessments for key outcomes. The protocol for the review has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022312656). Results. Searches identified 23,139 citations, and 7,534 were obtained as full text. We included 550 studies reported in 1,097 publications (231 studies addressed diagnosis, 312 studies addressed treatment, and 10 studies addressed monitoring). Diagnostic studies reported on the diagnostic performance of numerous parental ratings, teacher rating scales, teen/child self-reports, clinician tools, neuropsychological tests, EEG approaches, imaging, and biomarkers. Multiple approaches showed promising diagnostic performance (e.g., using parental rating scales), although estimates of performance varied considerably across studies and the SoE was generally low. Few studies reported estimates for children under the age of 7. Treatment studies evaluated combined pharmacological and behavior approaches, medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration, other pharmacologic treatment, psychological/behavioral approaches, cognitive training, neurofeedback, neurostimulation, physical exercise, nutrition and supplements, integrative medicine, parent support, school interventions, and provider or model-of-care interventions. Medication treatment was associated with improved broadband scale scores and ADHD symptoms (high SoE) as well as function (moderate SoE), but also appetite suppression and adverse events (high SoE). Psychosocial interventions also showed improvement in ADHD symptoms based on moderate SoE. Few studies have evaluated combinations of pharmacological and youth-directed psychosocial interventions, and we did not find combinations that were systematically superior to monotherapy (low SoE). Published monitoring approaches for ADHD were limited and the SoE is insufficient. Conclusion. Many diagnostic tools are available to aid the diagnosis of ADHD, but few monitoring strategies have been studied. Medication therapies remain important treatment options, although with a risk of side effects, as the evidence base for psychosocial therapies strengthens and other nondrug treatment approaches emerge.

Abstract:
Pipeline engines fitted with modem automation and control systems serve as ideal candidates for On Board Diagnostics (OBD) and Diagnostic Monitoring (DM). OBD is very effective for real time performance monitoring, pollution prevention and safety monitoring in the engine room. Diagnostic Monitoring (DM) extends the capabilities of OBD by using extensive historical data to characterize unit specific characteristics thereby dealing with engines as individuals. The work to date has focused on the development of a methodology to support real-time multiparameter analysis and crosscheck of engine data to quickly, accurately and precisely diagnose engine faults. The methodology uses a spreadsheet interface in combination with Mean Value Engine Models and an analytic table to perform the diagnosis. Field gathered data was then used Advanced Engine Technologies Corporation (AETC) then developed a playback simulator to replay data provided by PRCI members to test the methodology and confirm the ability to automatically detect engine and compressor faults.

Abstract:
Intro: Undifferentiated dyspnea can be a complicated presentation muddled by patient comorbidities and similar symptomology shared among etiologies. Some studies have shown increased mortality and length of stay in the hospital when incorrectly initially diagnosed in the ED. US has been shown more effective at differentiating these causes and improves diagnostic accuracy. This study will implement US exam upon initial exam of patient and chart time to diagnosis/treatment, length of stay in ED, length of stay in hospital admissions versus discharge rates, and 30 day mortality. ADHF and COPD/asthma patient differentiation will be the focus. Methods: Prospective cohort study of more than 18 years that present with the primary complaint of dyspnea with more than one complicating comorbid condition. Initial exam by physician will be accompanied by cardiothoracic US previously verified. Results: Study powered by previous year average of time to diagnosis of institution. Patient characteristics, distribution by diagnostic category, and characteristics found on US in correlation with diagnosis will be included for multivariate analysis. Conclusions: We expect to see a singificant difference in our time to diagnosis/treatment and mortality rate.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of digital health interventions in monitoring and improving medication adherence in Multiple Sclerosis patients. Condition being studied: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to focal lesions in the white matter, characterized by selective primary demyelination with partial preservation of axons and reactive astrocytic gliosis. The disease is thought to be due to a complex interaction between different genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of MS is rising all over the world, due on one hand to earlier diagnosis and prolonged survival, and on the other to a true increase in incidence of the disease. The diagnosis of MS remains clinical despite recent advances in diagnostics and relies on demonstrating dissemination in space and time while excluding alternative diagnoses.

Abstract:
Cystic lesions of neck containing thymic tissue are rare and usually difficult to diagnose. Postulated hypothesis for this entity is the persistence and/or degeneration of thymopharyngeal duct derived from pharyngeal pouch endoderm. We report a unique case of persistent thymopharyngeal duct which was diagnosed antenatally at 30 weeks’ gestation, and it preserved its connection with the pharynx. Postnatal radiological studies were non-specific and misleading, and diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination of the excised specimen.

Abstract:
This 2015 NSCR project continues NSCR research started in 2009 and continued in 2011 under ERLE 2c and combines it with OBD research started in 2008 and continued in 2011. The 2009 NSCR research concluded that downstream measurement of lambda, O2 and NOx are useful for understanding performance of the entire package and evaluating compliance status and diagnosing system problems. However, that research also concluded that advanced signal conditioning and algorithms are required for unambiguous diagnostics. It also concluded system diagnostics was complex and beyond the capabilities of typical technicians. The 2011 OBD project demonstrated that a model-based diagnostics approach could precisely detect and diagnose typical combustion faults on lean burn engines. This 2015 project will specifically test and demonstrate the effectiveness of model based NSCR diagnostics using upstream and downstream exhaust sensors and other typical sensor inputs.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: With the development of endoscopic techniques, several diagnostic endoscopy methods are available for the diagnosis of malignant lesions, including magnified pigmented endoscopy and narrow band imaging (NBI).The main goal of endoscopy is to achieve the real-time diagnostic evaluation of the tissue, allowing an accurate assessment comparable to histopathological diagnosis based on structural and cellular heterogeneity to significantly improve the diagnostic rate for cancerous tissues. Endocytoscopy (ECS) is based on ultrahigh magnification endoscopy and has been applied to endoscopy to achieve microscopic observation of gastrointestinal (GI) cells through tissue staining, thus allowing the differentiation of cancerous and noncancerous tissues in real time.To date, ECS observation has been applied to the diagnosis of oesophageal, gastric and colorectal tumours and has shown high sensitivity and specificity.Despite the highly accurate diagnostic capability of this method, the interpretation of the results is highly dependent on the operator's skill level, and it is difficult to train all endoscopists to master all methods quickly. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic systems have been widely recognized for their high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of GI tumours under general endoscopy. Few studies have explored on ECS for endoscopic tumour identification, and even fewer have explored ECS-based AI in the endoscopic identification of GI tumours, all of which have reached different conclusions. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the value of ECS-based AI in detecting GI tumour to provide evidence for its clinical application.

MicroRNAs as Potential Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to systematically review the clinical studies regarding miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease and assess the overall diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs. Condition being studied: The symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are highly variable. The diagnosis of IBD must be made through medical history, physical, laboratory, radiologic, endoscopic, and histological examinations. However, these diagnostic techniques are not specific and sometimes even equivocal. Therefore, reliable biomarkers are urgently needed in the diagnosis of IBD. Several clinical and preclinical researches have shown that dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in IBD development. miRNAs, as single-stranded noncoding RNAs that contain 22-24 nucleotides, can post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by blocking mRNA translation or degrading target mRNAs. miRNAs are widely involved in physiological and pathological cellular processes, such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Besides, they are stable, noninvasive, and resistant to degradation by ribonucleases, making them valuable targets in the diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis, and treatment of diseases. To date, inconsistent results have been found about miRNA expression profiling in the patients with IBD. Moreover, the diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs for IBD has not been reported in any meta-analysis.

Abstract:
It has long been known that all ultrasonic flow meters, especially those that exploit multiple paths to achieve higher accuracies, are capable of extensive self-diagnosis. However, each manufacturer of the technology has tended to develop diagnostic tools peculiar to his particular device. This has led to a confusing mix of offerings that are not transportable between meters, and whose interpretations are not always consistent. This report addresses: � Verification of the Phase 1 models against available field data; � Implementation of field-tested methods offered by PRCI users; � Trending the diagnostics with time to detect changes; � Establishing the significance of the changes (magnitude of error); � Deciding if the changes require intervention (maintenance, re-calibration); � Tuning of the Phase 1 models based on this experience; � Verification of the models using experimental testing.
