Abstract:
Thyroid hormone (TH) is important for normal brain development. The TH transporter protein monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) is crucial to maintain adequate TH levels in the brain during development and throughout life. Mutations in MCT8 result in the Allan–Herndon–Dudley syndrome (AHDS), which is characterized by a severe delay in neurocognitive development, combined with abnormal serum thyroid function tests (TFTs). The combination of an increased (F)T3 and decreased (F)T4 and rT3 serum levels are characteristic for the presence of AHDS in male patients with moderate to severe delay in neurocognitive development. Here, we provide an overview of current insights, challenges and pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of patients with AHDS.

Abstract:
The 2016 American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists/American College of Endocrinology Guidelines for postmenopausal osteoporosis provides comprehensive guidance on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. A new diagnostic criterion which expands the diagnosis to patients with osteopenia and a high Fracture Risk Assessment Tool score has been added to the old diagnostic criteria. Recommendations on duration of bisphosphonate therapy are clearly outlined and are based on fracture risk stratification. The accompanying algorithm, which goes through all the steps from diagnosis to treatment and follow up is a handy guide for clinicians.

Abstract:
The development of computer systems that are capable of carrying out tasks that typically require human intelligence is known as artificial intelligence (AI). Recent and quickly rising interest in medical AI applications is a result of AI software and technology improvements, especially deep learning algorithms and the graphics processing units (GPUs) that enable their training. While other AI subtypes have started to show similar promise in different diagnostic modalities, AI-based computer vision methods are poised to change image-based diagnostics in clinical diagnostics. Large and complicated genomic datasets are processed using a particular form of AI algorithm known as deep learning in various fields, such as clinical genomics. In this review, we first provide an overview of the primary categories of issues that AI systems are best adapted to address, followed by a description of the clinical diagnostic tasks that are aided by these solutions. Then, we concentrate on recently developed techniques for certain clinical genomics applications, such as variant calling, genome annotation and variant categorization, and phenotype-to-genotype correlation. We conclude by talking about the future potential of AI in individualized medicine applications, particularly for risk prediction in common complex diseases, as well as the issues, constraints, and biases that must be carefully addressed for the successful deployment of AI in medical applications, particularly those using data from genomics and human genetics.

Abstract:
The increasing incidence of disseminated (invasive) candidiasis is probably attributable to iatrogenic factors and to improved pre and postmortem evaluation. Premortem diagnosis of such infections have seldom been made early enough for successful treatment. In order to increase the likelihood of successful antifungal chemotherapy, rapid diagnosis of such infections is vital. However, present diagnostic procedures for invasive candidiasis are insensitive and often do not reliably differentiate superficial from invasive infections. This study was undertaken to produce DNA probes and to optimize conditions for rapid and efficient detection of Candida DNA. Seven random Candida albicans DNA fragments (2-7 kbp) were cloned into plasmid pACYC 184. These recombinant plasmids were labeled with either ³²p or biotin and used as probes. Two of the four recombinant plasmids tested were genus specific. The other two were slightly cross reactive with other yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hansenula anomala). Probes labeled with ³²p were twice as sensitive as the biotin probes. One ³²p labelled recombinant (#66) detected 7 Pg of target DNA , which corresponds to approximately 2 X 10⁵ C.albicans cells. With refined simple DNA extraction procedures for C.albicans (in serum), these recombinant probes could possibly be suitable for clinical application.

Abstract:
The most abundant biological thiols, homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) have been the subject of intense research due to their association with a wide range of diseases. They play a key role in maintaining the redox status of biological systems. Selective detection methods for these thiols are challenging due to their similar structures and properties. Current commercially available detection methods use separations, fragile and expensive enzymatic or immunogenic materials and complex instrumentation. This has led to a global effort towards developing simple and inexpensive optical probes and indicators selective for specific biological thiols. Highly selective chemical probes and simple methods for detection and potential quantification of Hcy and GSH in their natural biological media have been developed. These indicators and methods are relatively simple and inexpensive for potential application at point of care. The selective detection of Hcy using novel asymmetric viologen chemical probes at room temperature is described as well as the use of commercially available materials under photochemical conditions. These probes respond linearly proportional to increasing Hcy concentrations, potentially enabling the monitoring of Hcy levels in human plasma. Additionally, new methods for the selective determination of GSH in human plasma, as well as its quantification in whole blood deposited on filter paper (dried blood spots), is also presented herein.

Abstract:
The focus of the project has two aspects associated with tumour imaging. The primary and major focus of my thesis was to assess the potential of a radiolabelled agent, 99mTc-Hynic-Annexin V, for the in vivo imaging of apoptosis after chemotherapy and radiotherapy in nude mice bearing thymoma tumours. The second aspect of the thesis examines the potential of a glucose analog, 99mTclabelled 2-deoxyglucosamine (99mTc—ECDG), to detect tumours based on the increased glucose metabolism of tumours in an attempt to evaluate if it can substitute the PET agent, 18F— labelled fluorodeoxyglucose (lgF-FDG) for tumour detection. Apoptosis is a process whereby damaged cells undergo programmed cell death during which phosphatidylserine (PS) becomes extemalised. Annexin V is shown to have a high affinity for PS and has been demonstrated to bind in apoptotic cells. When radiolabelled, Annexin V acts as an imaging probe to detect apoptosis. Available literature revealed many modalities available for apoptosis detection but most are associated with many pitfalls. However, only nuclear medicine imaging is able to provide a non-invasive tool for the early assessment of apoptosis. Furthermore, 99mTc-Hynic-Annexin V has been the best characterised probe for detecting apoptosis to date. Several studies have reported good correlation of this agent with therapy-induced apoptosis. However none have reported on the comparisons of two modes of cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) in a thymoma mouse model.

Abstract:
A ecocardiografia com perfusão miocárdica em tempo real (EPMTR) permite a quantificação do fluxo sangüíneo miocárdico e, quando realizada durante o estresse, da reserva de fluxo miocárdico (reserva Axß). Essa técnica tem potencial para ser uma importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico não-invasivo da doença arterial coronariana (DAC). Apesar do conhecimento atual das alterações fisiológicas que ocorrem com o uso de agentes vasodilatadores ou catecolaminas na circulação coronariana, não há dados na literatura comparando diretamente o valor da EPMTR, sob estresse pela dobutamina e pela adenosina, para a detecção de DAC em humanos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar, em um mesmo grupo de pacientes, a exeqüibilidade e a acurácia da EPMTR, sob estresse pela dobutamina e pela adenosina, para a detecção de estenose arterial coronariana angiograficamente significativa e determinar o valor adicional da análise quantitativa da perfusão miocárdica sobre o eletrocardiograma de 12 derivações, da motilidade segmentar e da análise qualitativa da perfusão miocárdica obtidas durante o estresse pela dobutamina e pela adenosina. Estudamos 54 pacientes (média etária de 60±9 anos, 33 homens) com suspeita clínica de DAC e indicação de angiografia coronariana. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à EPMTR sob estresse pela adenosina na dose de 140 g/kg/min por seis minutos e, após um intervalo de três a cinco horas, à EPMTR sob estresse pela dobutamina-atropina. O contraste ecocardiográfico utilizado foi o PESDA (Perfluorocarbon-Exposed Sonicated Dextrose and Albumin), administrado por via intravenosa periférica de forma contínua. Para ambas as EPMTR sob estresse pela dobutamina e pela adenosina, foram feitas análises do eletrocardiograma em 12 derivações (ECG), da motilidade segmentar e análise qualitativa e quantitativa da perfusão miocárdica. A quantificação da velocidade do fluxo miocárdico (ß) e do fluxo sangüíneo miocárdico (Axß) foi realizada por meio da utilização do programa computacional QLab 3.0 (Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA). Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à angiografia coronariana quantitativa (ACQ) em um intervalo de até 30 dias da EPMTR. Foi considerada DAC a presença de lesão coronariana > 50% do diâmetro luminal. Dos 54 pacientes estudados, 25 (46%) apresentaram lesão coronariana >50% e 29 (54%) não apresentaram lesão coronariana significativa. A exeqüibilidade da quantificação da reserva Axß foi semelhante para a EPMTR sob estresse pela adenosina e pela dobutamina (91% versus 90% dos territórios arteriais; p = ns). A variabilidade da quantificação interobservador para os parâmetros de reserva ß e Axß foi de 6,8% (r = 0,98) e 5,5% (r = 0,97), respectivamente. A variabilidade intra-observador para os mesmos parâmetros foi de 2,1 % (r = 0,99) e 7,4 % (r = 0,95), respectivamente. A análise quantitativa da perfusão miocárdica, obtida pela EPMTR sob estresse pela dobutamina, apresentou sensibilidade de 84%, especificidade de 76% e acurácia de 80% para a detecção de DAC, enquanto que a EPMTR sob estresse pela adenosina apresentou sensibilidade de 88%, especificidade de 72% e acurácia de 80%. O valor incremental das modalidades estudadas para o diagnóstico de DAC foi analisado em modelo que incluiu o ECG, ECG e motilidade segmentar, ECG e motilidade segmentar e perfusão qualitativa e, por último, ECG e motilidade segmentar e perfusão qualitativa e quantitava, tanto para a EPMTR sob estresse pela dobutamina como pela adenosina (2 de 4,9 versus 20,1 versus 23,7 versus 38,4) e (2 de 9,9 versus 20,1 versus 26,7 versus 59,4), respectivamente. Concluímos que a avaliação quantitativa da EPMTR apresenta boa exeqüibilidade. A EPMTR sob estresse pela dobutamina e a pela adenosina apresentam acurácias diagnósticas similares para a detecção de lesão angiograficamente significativa. A análise quantitativa da perfusão miocárdica apresenta valor diagnóstico adicional aos outros parâmetros obtidos durante o estresse pela dobutamina e adenosina.
Real time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) has allowed for the quantification of myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR). This technique is a valuable tool for the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Both adenosine and dobutamine are currently used stressor agents during RTMCE. Although it has already been shown the effects of these drugs on the coronary physiology, no study has directly compared both agents during RTMCE. The aims of this study were to determine the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of adenosine versus dobutamine stress RTMCE for the detection of angiographically significant CAD. In addition, we sought to determine the additional value of quantitative RTMCE over the electrocardiogram, wall motion, and qualitative analysis of myocardial perfusion. The study involved 54 patients (60±9 years, 33 men) with suspected CAD. Patients underwent RTMCE at rest and during continuous infusion of 140g/kg/min of adenosine for six minutes, and dobutamine stress. The contrast agent used in the study was PESDA (Perfluorocarbon-Exposed Sonicated Dextrose and Albumin) administered in continuous intravenous infusion. Quantification of plateau of acoustic intensity (A) and microbubble velocity () was performed off line using a specific software (QLab 3.0, Philips Medical Systems, Bothell, WA, USA). Myocardial blood flow was determined as Ax. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed in all patients within 30 days of RTMCE, and CAD was defined as >50% luminal diameter coronary stenosis. There were 25 (46%) patients with CAD and 29 (54%) patients without obstructive lesion. The feasibility of quantitative MBFR was the same for adenosine and dobutamine stress RTMCE (91% versus 90% in all arterial territories; p=ns). The intraobserver variabilities for the measurements of ß and Axß reserve were 2.1% (r = 0.99) and 7.4% (r = 0.95), respectively. The interobserver variabilities for the same parameters were 6.8% (r = 0.98) and 5.5% (r = 0.97), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of ß reserve obtained during dobutamine stress RTMCE for detecting CAD were 84%, 76%, and 80%, respectively, and during adenosine stress RTMCE they were 88%, 72% and 80%. The incremental value for the diagnosis of CAD was analyzed in a model that included the EKG, EKG and wall motion, EKG and wall motion and qualitative perfusion analysis and finally, EKG and wall motion and qualitative and quantitative perfusion analysis, for dobutamine and adenosine RTMCE (2= 4,9 versus 20,1 versus 23,7 versus s 38,4) and (2= 9,9 versus 20,1 versus 26,7 versus 59,4), respectively. In conclusion, quantitative RTMCE is a feasible technique in patients with suspected CAD. Dobutamine and adenosine stress RTMCE had similar diagnostic accuracy for the detection of angiographically significant lesion. Quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion had incremental diagnostic value over the other parameters obtained during both dobutamine and adenosine stress RTMCE.

Abstract:
After reviewing currently available diagnostic assessment instruments for substance use disorders this paper describes the format and structure of the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (M-CIDI) substance disorder section. In addition, the test-retest reliability of diagnoses and criteria for nicotine, alcohol, illegal and prescription drugs, is reported. Findings obtained in community sample of adolescents and young adults indicate that the substance section is acceptable for almost all types of respondents, efficient in terms of time and ease of administration as well as reliable in terms of consistency of findings over time. The test-retest reliability over a period of an average of 1 month, as examined by two independent interviewers indicates good-to-excellent kappa values for all substance disorders assessed, with significant kappa values ranging between 0.55 for drug abuse and 0.83 for alcohol abuse. There was also fairly consistently high agreement for the assessment of single DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for abuse and dependence as well as the M-CIDI quantity-frequency and time-related questions. To conclude, although – unlike previous studies – this study was conducted in a community sample and not in patients and used considerably longer time intervals of more than a month between investigations, our M-CIDI reliability findings are at least as high as those from previous studies.

Abstract:
Introdução: O hermafroditismo verdadeiro, caracterizado pela demonstração histológica de tecido ovariano e testicular no mesmo indivíduo, responde por cerca de 5% dos casos de anomalia da diferenciação sexual. Como a variabilidade fenotípica é muito grande, desde mulheres com genitália externa normal até homens com genitália externa normal, passando por toda uma gama de apresentações intermediárias, torna-se impossível o diagnóstico baseado apenas em dados clínicos. A avaliação da presença de tecido testicular é bem estabelecida, mas não há teste para a demontração de tecido ovariano. A inibina A é produzida exclusivamente no ovário e é estimulada pelas gonadotrofinas. Objetivos: 1. Avaliar a efetividade do método de estimulação gonadal com a associação LH/FSH na demonstração de tecido ovariano; 2. Avaliar a eventual presença de tecido ovariano em pacientes com anomalias da diferenciação sexual através da dosagem sérica de Inibina A e de estradiol após estímulo gonadotrófico e; 3. Facilitar o diagnóstico de hermafroditismo verdadeiro antes da fase de exploração cirúrgica das gônadas. Métodos: Foram incluídos no estudo, dez pacientes com hiperplasia congênita de supra-renal, dez pacientes com criptorquidia unilateral isolada, treze pacientes com anomalia da diferenciação sexual sem etiologia definida e sete pacientes com hermafroditismo verdadeiro com diagnóstico histológico. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a um teste de estímulo gonadotrófico, representado pela administração de gonadotrofina humana da menopausa (menotropina), que tem em sua composição LH e FSH, na dose de 150 UI de cada gonadotrofina, por via intramuscular, durante três dias subseqüentes. Dosagens de LH, FSH, estradiol, testosterora e inibina A foram realizadas antes (B), 24h após a primeira dose (A1) e 24 horas após a terceira dose (A2). Resultados: O LH não apresentou elevação significativa nos quatro grupos. O FSH elevou-se nos quatro grupos de forma progressiva e semelhante. O estradiol elevou-se significativamente nos grupos de pacientes com hiperplasia congênita das supra-renais (p=0,005) e de pacientes com hermafroditismo verdadeiro (p=0,031), enquanto a testosterona elevou-se nos grupos com criptorquidia isolada (p=0,027) e de pacientes com ambigüidade genital sem etiologia definida (p=0,028). A inibina A elevou-se significativamente nos grupos de pacientes com hiperplasia congênita das supra-renais (p=0,005) e com hermafroditismo verdadeiro (p=0,043). Conclusão: O teste de estímulo com LH e FSH mostrou-se útil para o diagnóstico da presença de tecido ovariano tanto em pacientes com hiperplasia congênita das supra-renais, como naqueles com hermafroditismo verdadeiro.
Introduction: True hermaphrodism (TH) is characterized by the presence of ovarian and testicular tissue in the same patient comprises 5% of the intersex cases. A large spectrum of phenotypical variation is observed, ranging from normal female genitalia to normal male genitalia, covering a wide range of intermediary presentations, it becomes very difficult to make the diagnosis of TH on clinical basis. The detection of testicular tissue is well stablished but there is no available test to demonstrate the presence of ovarian tissue. Objectives: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the LH/FSH gonadal stimulation in demonstrating ovarian functiom 2. To evaluate the presence of ovarian tissue in intersex patients under gonadotropic stimulation and 3. To make the TH diagnosis before the surgical procedure. Patients and Methods: Ten patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), 10 with unilateral cryptorchidism, 13 intersex patients with no defined etiology, and seven TH patients have been included in the study. All the patients had a gonadotropic stimulation test with human menopausal gonadotropin (menotropin-hMG),150 IU, intramuscular, for three consecutive days. LH, FSH, estradiol, testosterone, and Inhibin A were measured before (0 time), 24h after the first gonadotropin dose, and 24h after the third gonadotropin dose. Results: LH did not show any significant increase in the four groups studied. FSH increased in the four groups in a similar way. Estradiol increased in CAH pacients (p=0.005) and in TH patients (p=0,031), while testosterone increased in patients whit unilateral cryptorchidism (p=0.027) as well as in the intersex patients without defined etiology. Inhibin A levels increased in CAH patients (p=0.005) and in the TH patients (p=0.043). Conclusion: The LH/FSH stimulation test demonstrated to be a useful method to diagnose the presence of ovarian tissue in CAH patients as well as in TH patients, becoming an important tool to diagnose TH even before the surgical procedure and histologic studies of the gonads.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Microgrids are a topic of interest in recent years, largely due to their compatibility with the integration of distributed renewable resources, capability for bidirectional power flow, and ability to reconfigure to mitigate the effects of faults. Fault diagnosis algorithms are a foundational technology for microgrids. These algorithms must have two primary capabilities. First, faults must be detectable; it is known when the fault occurs. Second, faults must be isolable; the type and location of detected faults can be determined. However, most fault handling research considering microgrids has focused on the protection algorithm. Protection algorithms seek to quickly extinguish dangerous faults which can damage components. However, these algorithms may not sufficiently capture less severe faults, or provide comprehensive monitoring for the microgrid. This is particularly relevant when considering applications involving fault tolerant control or dynamic grid reconfiguration. Although well-accepted in the automotive and aviation field, model-based diagnostics have not been extensively applied to microgrid or power grid systems. Therefore, this work proposed a diagnostic concept relying on model-based diagnostics. Structural analysis is used to develop model-based residuals, and data from a Simulink microgrid model is used to define and calibrate diagnostic tests. It is shown that the use of model-based diagnostics yields better detection and isolation performance compared to overcurrent protection or differential current protection alone.</div></div>

Abstract:
A method for solving the gas path analysis problem of jet engine diagnostics based on a probabilistic approach is presented. The method is materialized through the use of a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). Building a BBN for gas turbine performance fault diagnosis requires information of a stochastic nature expressing the probability of whether a series of events occurred or not. This information can be extracted by a deterministic model and does not depend on hard to find flight data of different faulty operations of the engine. The diagnostic problem and the overall diagnostic procedure are first described. A detailed description of the way the diagnostic procedure is set-up, with focus on building the BBN from an engine performance model, follows. The case of a turbofan engine is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the method. Several simulated and benchmark fault case scenarios have been considered for this reason. The examined cases demonstrate that the proposed BBN-based diagnostic method composes a powerful tool. This work also shows that building a diagnostic tool, based on information provided by an engine performance model, is feasible and can be efficient as well.

Abstract:
After five years of national programmatic use of Norplant® contraceptive implants, in 1992 the National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) plans to implement a follow-up Use-Dynamics Study of implant users in West Java and West Sumatra Provinces, Indonesia. A Diagnostic Study was implemented in 1991 to prepare for that study prior to final approval, and to get some early insights into implant program operations in advance of final results from the main study. This report is a summary of findings from the Diagnostic Study. The Diagnostic Study had two broad objectives: to obtain information to guide development of the larger Use-Dynamics Study, and to supplement existing information on implant service delivery with a field-based observation study to help BKKBN make necessary decisions for its implant program. The Diagnostic Study helped in sharpening the original questionnaire draft, which has been appropriately revised.

Abstract:
Diagnostic and contact tracing apps are an important weapon against contagion during a pandemic. We study how the content of the messages used to promote the apps influences adoption by conducting a survey experiment on approximately 23,000 Mexican adults. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of three different prompts, or a control condition, before stating their willingness to adopt a diagnostic app and contact-tracing app. The prompt emphasizing government efforts to ensure data privacy, which has been one of the most common strategies, reduced willingness to adopt the diagnostic app by about 4 percentage points and the contact tracing app by 3 percentage points. An effective app promotion policy must understand individuals' reservations and be wary of unintended reactions to naive reassurances.

The tool’s methodology is rooted in a feminist and youth-led participatory action research approach to diagnosing social norms. It uses participatory and transformative methods to engage young people and other community members not just as research participants, but as agents of change identifying solutions to arising issues. The exercises recognize and examine unequal power inequalities through questions around who makes key decisions, whose opinions matter the most, who the most influential people are and the nature of their influence. hese exercises were developed for Oxfam’s Empower Youth for Work (EYW) programme for primary research from 2017-2019. This version of the tool was originally developed for use in the EYW programme in Bangladesh.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: What is the overall diagnostic yield and complication rate of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions? Condition being studied: Many of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) may represent early-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality globally. Early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer are crucial for a better prognosis. With the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), the detection rate of PPLs is increasing. As a result, the number of PPLs requiring biopsy is progressively increasing. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) are the main modalities of non-surgical biopsy for PPLs. TTNA has a diagnostic yield of 90%, however, it also has a pneumothorax rate of 25%. Since TBLB avoids destroying the structure of normal pleura and lung tissue, the incidence of complications is lower. Unfortunately, traditional flexible bronchoscopy has a modest sensitivity of 34% and 63% for lesions 2 cm, respectively. The advent of guided bronchoscopy has increased the diagnostic yield to 70%. However, there is still a gap in diagnostic yield compared with TTNA. The advent of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) is expected to further improve the diagnostic yield of TBLB for PPLs. However, the diagnostic performance of RAB for PPLs has not reached a consensus.
