Abstract:
Cette thèse, réalisée en partenariat avec l'Institut Curie et Siemens Healthineers, explore l'utilisation de l'imagerie par tomographie par émission de positrons (TEP) pour le pronostic du cancer, en se concentrant sur les lymphomes non hodgkiniens, en particulier le lymphome folliculaire (FL) et le lymphome diffus à grandes cellules B (DLBCL). Partant de l'hypothèse que les biomarqueurs actuels calculés dans les images TEP sous-utilisent leur richesse en informations, ce travail se concentre sur la recherche de nouveaux biomarqueurs en imagerie TEP corps entier. Une première approche manuelle a permis de valider une caractéristique précédemment identifiée (fragmentation de la tumeur) et d'explorer l'importance pronostique de l'atteinte splénique dans les DLBCL, en constatant que le volume de l'atteinte splénique ne permet pas de stratifier davantage les patients présentant une telle atteinte. Pour dépasser les limites empiriques de la recherche manuelle, une méthode d'identification semi-automatique des caractéristiques a été mise au point. Elle consiste à extraire automatiquement des milliers de biomarqueurs candidats et à les tester à l'aide d'un pipeline de sélection conçu pour trouver des caractéristiques quantifiant de nouvelles informations pronostiques. Les biomarqueurs sélectionnés ont ensuite été analysés et recodés de manière plus simple et plus intuitive. Cette approche a permis d'identifier 22 nouveaux biomarqueurs basés sur l'image, qui reflètent des informations biologiques sur les tumeurs, mais aussi l'état de santé général du patient. Parmi eux, 10 caractéristiques se sont avérées pronostiques à la fois pour les patients atteints de FL que pour ceux souffrant de DLBCL. La thèse aborde également le défi que représente l'utilisation de ces caractéristiques dans la pratique clinique, en proposant le modèle ICARE (Individual Coefficient Approximation for Risk Estimation). Ce modèle d'apprentissage automatique, conçu pour réduire le surapprentissage et améliorer la généralisation, a démontré son efficacité dans le cadre du challenge HECKTOR 2022 visant à prédire le risque de rechute de patients atteints de cancer des voies aérodigestives supérieures à partir de leurs images TEP. Ce modèle s'est également avéré plus résistant au surapprentissage que d'autres méthodes d'apprentissage automatique lors d'une comparaison exhaustive sur un benchmark de 71 jeux de données médicales. Ces développements ont été implémentés dans une extension logicielle d'un prototype développé par Siemens Healthineers
This thesis in partnership with Institut Curie and Siemens Healthineers explores the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for cancer prognosis, focusing on non-Hodgkin lymphomas, especially follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Assuming that current biomarkers computed in PET images overlook significant information, this work focuses on the search for new biomarkers in whole-body PET imaging. An initial manual approach validated a previously identified feature (tumor fragmentation) and explored the prognostic significance of splenic involvement in DLBCL, finding that the volume of splenic involvement does not further stratify patients with such an involvement. To overcome the empirical limitations of the manual search, a semi-automatic feature identification method was developed. It consisted in the automatic extraction of thousands of candidate biomarkers and there subsequent testing by a selection pipeline design to identify features quantifying new prognostic information. The selected biomarkers were then analysed and re-encoded in simpler and more intuitive ways. Using this approach, 22 new image-based biomarkers were identified, reflecting biological information about the tumours, but also the overall health status of the patient. Among them, 10 features were found prognostic of both FL and DLBCL patient outcome. The thesis also addresses the challenge of using these features in clinical practice, proposing the Individual Coefficient Approximation for Risk Estimation (ICARE) model. This machine learning model, designed to reduce overfitting and improve generalizability, demonstrated effectiveness in the HECKTOR 2022 challenge for predicting outcomes from head and neck cancer patients [18F]-PET/CT scans. This model was also found to overfit less than other machine learning methods on an exhaustive comparison using a benchmark of 71 medical datasets. All these developments were implemented in a software extension of a prototype developed by Siemens Healthineers

Abstract:
Understanding the relationship between diet, physical activity and health in humans requires accurate measurement of body composition and daily energy expenditure. Stable isotopes provide a means of measuring total body water and daily energy expenditure under free-living conditions. While the use of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) for the analysis of 2H (Deuterium) and 18O (Oxygen-18) is well established in the field of human energy metabolism research, numerous questions remain regarding the factors which influence analytical and measurement error using this methodology. This thesis was comprised of four studies with the following emphases. The aim of Study 1 was to determine the analytical and measurement error of the IRMS with regard to sample handling under certain conditions. Study 2 involved the comparison of TEE (Total daily energy expenditure) using two commonly employed equations. Further, saliva and urine samples, collected at different times, were used to determine if clinically significant differences would occur. Study 3 was undertaken to determine the appropriate collection times for TBW estimates and derived body composition values. Finally, Study 4, a single case study to investigate if TEE measures are affected when the human condition changes due to altered exercise and water intake. The aim of Study 1 was to validate laboratory approaches to measure isotopic enrichment to ensure accurate (to international standards), precise (reproducibility of three replicate samples) and linear (isotope ratio was constant over the expected concentration range) results. This established the machine variability for the IRMS equipment in use at Queensland University for both TBW and TEE. Using either 0.4mL or 0.5mL sample volumes for both oxygen-18 and deuterium were statistically acceptable (p>0.05) and showed a within analytical variance of 5.8 Delta VSOW units for deuterium, 0.41 Delta VSOW units for oxygen-18. This variance was used as “within analytical noise” to determine sample deviations. It was also found that there was no influence of equilibration time on oxygen-18 or deuterium values when comparing the minimum (oxygen-18: 24hr; deuterium: 3 days) and maximum (oxygen-18: and deuterium: 14 days) equilibration times. With regard to preparation using the vacuum line, any order of preparation is suitable as the TEE values fall within 8% of each other regardless of preparation order. An 8% variation is acceptable for the TEE values due to biological and technical errors (Schoeller, 1988). However, for the automated line, deuterium must be assessed first followed by oxygen-18 as the automated machine line does not evacuate tubes but merely refills them with an injection of gas for a predetermined time. Any fractionation (which may occur for both isotopes), would cause a slight elevation in the values and hence a lower TEE. The purpose of the second and third study was to investigate the use of IRMS to measure the TEE and TBW of and to validate the current IRMS practices in use with regard to sample collection times of urine and saliva, the use of two TEE equations from different research centers and the body composition values derived from these TEE and TBW values. Following the collection of a fasting baseline urine and saliva sample, 10 people (8 women, 2 men) were dosed with a doubly labeled water does comprised of 1.25g 10% oxygen-18 and 0.1 g 100% deuterium/kg body weight. The samples were collected hourly for 12 hrs on the first day and then morning, midday, and evening samples were collected for the next 14 days. The samples were analyzed using an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. For the TBW, time to equilibration was determined using three commonly employed data analysis approaches. Isotopic equilibration was reached in 90% of the sample by hour 6, and in 100% of the sample by hour 7. With regard to the TBW estimations, the optimal time for urine collection was found to be between hours 4 and 10 as to where there was no significant difference between values. In contrast, statistically significant differences in TBW estimations were found between hours 1-3 and from 11-12 when compared with hours 4-10. Most of the individuals in this study were in equilibrium after 7 hours. The TEE equations of Prof Dale Scholler (Chicago, USA, IAEA) and Prof K.Westerterp were compared with that of Prof. Andrew Coward (Dunn Nutrition Centre). When comparing values derived from samples collected in the morning and evening there was no effect of time or equation on resulting TEE values. The fourth study was a pilot study (n=1) to test the variability in TEE as a result of manipulations in fluid consumption and level of physical activity; the magnitude of change which may be expected in a sedentary adult. Physical activity levels were manipulated by increasing the number of steps per day to mimic the increases that may result when a sedentary individual commences an activity program. The study was comprised of three sub-studies completed on the same individual over a period of 8 months. There were no significant changes in TBW across all studies, even though the elimination rates changed with the supplemented water intake and additional physical activity. The extra activity may not have sufficiently strenuous enough and the water intake high enough to cause a significant change in the TBW and hence the CO2 production and TEE values. The TEE values measured show good agreement based on the estimated values calculated on an RMR of 1455 kcal/day, a DIT of 10% of TEE and activity based on measured steps. The covariance values tracked when plotting the residuals were found to be representative of “well-behaved” data and are indicative of the analytical accuracy. The ratio and product plots were found to reflect the water turnover and CO2 production and thus could, with further investigation, be employed to identify the changes in physical activity.

Abstract:
The objective of this investigation was to identify the appropriate isotopic fractionation factor for total body water (TBW) from ²H₂O enrichment in respiratory water vapor (RW) compared to serum (S), then to use the RW technique to estimate absolute TBW volumes and TBW relative to fat-free body mass (FFB) in three age groups (prepubescent, PP, age = 5-10 y; young adult, YA, age = 22-39 y; older adult, OA age = 65-84 y) of healthy white males and females. The effects of analytical technique (infrared spectrophotometry, IR versus isotope-ratio mass spectrometry, IRMS) and ambient relative humidity on estimates of TBW were also investigated. The composition of the FFB was estimated using a multi-component statistical model (body density, TBW and bone mineral density), and the errors associated with the traditional two-component formula for percent fat from body density were calculated. Our results demonstrated a significant (p < 0.0001) ²H₂O fractionation effect of 0.971 ± 0.005 (mean ± SEM, n = 36) for TBW from RW compared to S. Analysis by IR and IRMS were highly correlated (R² =.999) but IR values were significantly (p < 0.001) higher than IRMS. Deuterium enrichment in RW samples collected at ambient RH (∼20%) was significantly higher (Δ = 20.2 ± 4.5 ppm, mean ± SEM, p < 0.0005) than in RW samples collected at 100% RH, roughly equivalent to a 1.2 L (3.2%) difference in TBW. Total body water relative to FFB mass (W/FFB) was lower (p < 0.01) in YA males (71.0 ± 1.0%) and females (70.2 ± 1.3%) than in PP (boys = 73.1 ± 1.6%; girls = 72.2 ± 1.4%, mean ± SD). In OA, W/FFB was higher (p < 0.05) than in YA (OAM = 72.6 ± 1.1%; OAF = 72.2 ± 1.4%). The density of the FFB was 1.0996 and 1.0839 g/ml in OAM and OAF, respectively. Percent fat from density plus TBW and BMD was lower than from density alone in all groups but YA males, where it was 2.4 percent fat higher. In PP, the Siri density formula resulted in an overestimate of 5.8 ± 2.6 percent fat (mean ± SD, range = 1.4 to 13.6%). In OA females, the density formula overestimated percent fat by 4.4 ± 2.8% (range = 0 to 10.4%). In conclusion, RW corrected for isotopic fractionation will provide acceptable estimates of TBW, although the effects of analytical technique and RH should be controlled. The existence of age-related differences in FFB composition causes errors when the two-component model is used to estimate percent fat in PP and OA females.

Abstract:
This thesis contains work carried out in two separate fields of medical physics. Firstly, an instrument is described which enable orthopaedic surgeons to measure the in vivo sarcomere length in muscle fibre. The technique relies on the diffraction of laser light as it passes through the periodic structure of striated muscle. The resulting instrument is a modification of one described by other workers. Various refinements to the instrument were carried out and tested during several tendon-transfer operations. A precision of 3% in the sarcomere length may be achieved which is adequate for the surgeons needs. Secondly, simulations and experiments were performed to investigate an arcing Total Body Irradiation technique to be used in radiotherapy. The technique was first proposed by workers at Christchurch Hospital and this work continues that study. Computer code was written to simulate the treatment using Monte Carlo methods for radiation transport. Various characteristics of the treatment were examined such as dose rates, dose uniformity and dose compensation. These properties must be known if the treatment is to be implemented in a clinical situation. An anthropomorphic model was used which demonstrates the dose uniformity achievable with this method.

Abstract:
Following a departmental expansion, an isocentric cobalt-60 external beam teletheraphy unit was modified to produce a large fixed field for total body irradiation. The sourcehead was separated from the gantry and installed at a distance of 251.2 cm from the floor. The collimator was removed and replaced with a custom built secondary collimator projecting a 277 x 132.6 cm 2 radiation field at floor level. The work presented in this thesis describes the measurements performed to bring the unit into clinical use for total body irradiation. A custom flattening filter was placed below the secondary collimator to flatten the beam to within +/-3% of the central axis dose as measured at 10 cm in water. Percent depth dose, tissue-phantom-ratios, surface dose and absolute output were measured in the radiation field. The effects of inhomogeneities were studied and the thickness of lead used for lung attenuators was determined. Verification of treatment planning and delivery was performed with an Alderson-Rando anthropomorphic phantom and showed dose uniformity within +/-10% of the prescribed dose when a lead attenuator was used over the lung.

Abstract:
The boundaries of human space exploration continue to expand with new technology and discoveries making it even more important to investigate the effects of space on biological systems. Although humans have explored space in small increments, reproductive studies must be conducted to determine if stable short- or long-term residences for humans can exist in space. This study explored the effects of whole-body proton radiation on uterine smooth muscle known as the myometrium. Two types of mice utilized in this study were C57BL/6 and B6.129S6Cybbtm1Din/J NOX2 knockout mice. C57BL/6 mice are standard laboratory mice that were used to represent the wildtype treatment group (N=18). The B6.129S6Cybbtm1Din/J NOX2 knockout mice have the NADPH Oxidase 2 gene shut off and represented the NOX2 Knockout treatment group (N=18). A third treatment group was made up of half of the C57BL/6 mice and were fed apocynin (N=18). Apocynin has been shown to inhibit NAPDH oxidase production in mice. NADPH Oxidase 2 is involved in the production of deleterious Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS); thus, apocynin should reduce the production of ROS in mice exposed to radiation. Different doses of radiation (0Gy, 0.5Gy, and 2.0Gy) were applied to the myometrium creating three different treatment subgroups within each mouse strain. The mice received 250 MeV protons at an approximate dose rate of 70cGy/ minute. Myometrium tissue was obtained one week following the radiation treatment. The uteri were removed, embedded, sectioned, and stained in hematoxylin and eosin solution. Thickness was determined by taking five measurements each of the outer longitudinal layer length, the inner circular layer length and the total length of both layers of the myometrium for three individual pieces of tissue for each animal. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine statistical differences between the groups and subgroups. Wildtype control mice exposed to 2.0Gy (N=5) of radiation had the thickest outer longitudinal layers compared to wildtype mice exposed to 0Gy (N=5) and 0.5Gy (N=6) (p=0.005, p=0). In the apocynin fed and Knockout treatment groups, the subgroups exposed to 0Gy had the thickest layers compared to their respective subgroups exposed to 0.5Gy and 2.0Gy. The apocynin fed mice exposed to 0Gy (N=6) outer longitudinal layer was statistically significantly thicker than the apocynin-fed mice exposed to 0.5Gy (p=0.004; N=6). The inner circular layer of the apocynin-fed mice exposed to 0.5Gy was statistically significantly thicker than the apocynin-fed mice exposed to 2.0Gy (p=0.001; N=6). Amongst the treatment groups, the wildtype control versus the apocynin fed mice exposed to 0Gy showed the apocynin-fed group to have the thicker outer longitudinal layer (p=0.003) and combined layers (p=0.001). Overall, the knockout group showed no statistical difference when compared to the wildtype control group. Further studies are necessary to reduce the possible confounding effect of the estrous cycle in the mice. The different phases of the mice estrus cycle may inadvertently affect the mouse uterine thickness due to the fluctuations in hormones. This study will add to the limited research regarding the female reproductive system in hopes of expanding the knowledge needed to actualize space colonization.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite the clear benefits that resistance training might have in weight management the effects of resistance training on adiposity in sedentary individuals are unsubstantiated. As such, the aim of the study was to determine the effect of resistance training on anthropometric measures of total, central and abdominal adiposity. Twenty-five healthy, sedentary males not on an energy-restricted diet were assigned to a non-exercising control group (CON) (n = 12) or a resistance training group (RES) (n = 13) to determine the effect of 16 weeks of resistance training on anthropometric measures of total, centrally located and abdominal adiposity. Resistance training was prescribed three times weekly using eight exercises for three sets of 15 repetitions at 60% of one-repetition maximum. Resistance training decreased three of the six anthropometric measures of total adiposity and increased body mass and body mass index (BMI). Resistance training had no impact on the measures of centrally located and abdominal adiposity. Body mass and BMI should be used with caution in risk calculations and measures of total adiposity in individuals engaging in resistance training due to this mode of training increasing lean mass (and thus body mass and BMI). Resistance training reduced total adiposity but did not provide an effective stimulus to lower centrally located and abdominal adiposity.

Abstract:
Total body irradiation is the irradiation of the entire patient as a conditioning for bone marrow transplants. The conditioning process involves destroying the bone marrow allowing for repopulation of the donor bone marrow cells, suppression of the immune system to allow stop graft rejection, and to eliminate the cancer cell population within the patient. Studies have been done demonstrating the importance of TBI conditioning for BMT5. A range of TBI treatment techniques exist, this department uses a bi-lateral technique which requires bolus packed around the patient to simplify the geometry of the treatment. This investigation will focus on one technique which involves using a translating bed. This technique effectively scans a radiation beam over the patient as the bed moves through the beam. Other investigations on translating beds concentrated on varying the scan speed to achieve a dose uniformity to within ±5%. The recommendations quote a dose uniformity of +5% and -10% as acceptable⁹. The dose uniformity in these investigations was along the midline in the longitudinal direction only. This investigation varied field size to achieve dose uniformity to within ±2.5% along the midline of an anthropomorphic phantom. The goal was to determine if a dynamic multi-leaf collimator could be used to give a uniform in the transverse direction as well as the longitudinal direction. An advantage of utilizing the DMLC for this treatment is the ability to shield organs at risk, i.e. lungs and kidneys, without requiring resources to produce shielding blocks14. Gafchromic-EBT film18 was used as a dosimeter but gave unreliable results due to the lack of film scanning equipment with an appropriate sensitivity for reading the dose to the film. Scans were simulated using Xio treatment planning software. The results from the simulations gave a more reliable indication of the absorbed dose to the midline of the phantom. The disadvantage of this varying field size technique was the time and complexity involved in creating a treatment plan. Within the Xio software exists a limit on the number of beams allowed to be applied in a single plan. There is a maximum of 99 beams allowed which is not enough for complete coverage of a patient. A way around this is to increase the field sizes and decrease the scan speed. This option was not investigated. The advantage of this technique was the increased dose uniformity (±2.5%) in comparison to the varying scan speed techniques (±5%). This technique also allows the patient to be unencumbered during the treatment making the process more comfortable for them.

Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST) and added dietary rumen undegradable protein (RUP) on organ and tissue weights and body composition in growing dairy heifers. A total of 32 Holstein heifers, 3 months of age at the beginning of the study were used in the experiment. Eight heifers were slaughtered at 3 mo of age to determine pre- treatment body composition. The remaining heifers were randomly assigned to treatments (n=6) consisting of 0.1 mg/kg body weight per day of bST and 2% added dietary RUP (dry matter basis) applied in a 2X2 factorial design. A total of six heifers per treatment group (3 each at 5 and 10 mo of age), were slaughtered to determine body composition an organ masses. There was a trend for increased live and empty body weights (EB:W), carcass and non-carcass components for heifers treated with bST or fed RUP. Added RUP increased rumen and reticulum weights whereas administration of bST tended to increase the weights of small and large intestine at 10 months of age by 22 % and 26%, respectively. Spleen, heart, and kidney weights at 10 months of age were increased 36%, 28% and 23% for bST treatments respectively, compared with controls. Rates of ash and protein deposition between 3 and 10 months of age were increased by bST by 7.2 g/d and 28.9 g/d, respectively, while no treatment differences were observed for rates of fat and energy deposition. Bovine somatotropin significantly altered the metabolism of growing heifers in a manner that led to increased protein and ash deposition, and tended to reduce fat percentage, and there was a similar tendency observed with added RUP. This suggests that nutritional and endocrine manipulations could increase growth rates of skeletal and lean tissues without increasing fat deposition in prepubertal dairy heifers.

Abstract:
Wind energy can be harnessed for various commercial and transportation-related applications. This study assessed experimentally the potential of capturing wind energy from the passage of vehicles for electric power generation. Both wind tunnel experiments and field tests were performed. The wind tunnel experiments were performed in an open-circuit low-speed wind tunnel at a free-stream mean velocity of 23 m/s. Five PVC pipes placed adjacent to the wind-blowing domain were used to simulate the columns under a freeway overpass. A scaled Ahmad body (simplified car body model) was used as the vehicle. The spanwise distance between the Ahmad body and the tubes was 0.75 W where W is the width of the vehicle. The middle tube was used as a reference tube for circumferential and vertical pressure measurements. The streamwise locations of the vehicle were according to our previous transient numerical simulations as the vehicle approached and passed the columns at 0.1–0.5 sec. Results showed a significant potential of the transient wind generated from passing vehicles and identified optimized locations for harnessing this wind for electric power generation. Field tests were performed using a moving scaled Ahmad body. The vehicle speed was approximately 22 miles/hr (10 m/s.). Wind measurements were made up to 0.75 W adjacent to a vertical wall with static and total pressure taps. Results verified the corresponding wind tunnel results and showed a maximum transient wind of 10 m/s from the passing of the vehicle. These results were in agreement with our previous simulation results. The experiment results suggest great potential for harnessing the wind from vehicles to generate electric power, benefiting California's renewable energy goals.
