Resumen
This paper provides a methodology to better understand the relationships between different aspects of vocal fold motion, which are used as features in machine learning-based approaches for detecting respiratory infections from voice recordings. The relationships are derived through a joint multivariate analysis of the vocal fold oscillations of speakers. Specifically, the multivariate setting explores the displacements and velocities of the left and right vocal folds derived from recordings of five extended vowel sounds for each speaker (/aa/, /iy/, /ey/, /uw/, and /ow/). In this multivariate setting, the differences between the bivariate and conditional interactions are analyzed by information-theoretic quantities based on transfer entropy. Incorporation of the conditional quantities reveals information regarding the confounding factors that can influence the statistical interactions among other pairs of variables. This is demonstrated on a vector autoregressive process where the analytical derivations can be carried out. As a proof of concept, the methodology is applied on a clinically curated dataset of COVID-19. The findings suggest that the interaction between the vocal fold oscillations can change according to individuals and presence of any respiratory infection, such as COVID-19. The results are important in the sense that the proposed approach can be utilized to determine the selection of appropriate features as a supplementary or early detection tool in voice-based diagnostics in future studies.

Resumen
Abstract: Acromegaly is a disorder caused by growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion resulting in excessive release of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Both GH and IGF-1 measurements are crucial in its accurate diagnosis and in differentiating it from pseudoacromegaly. Early diagnosis is frequently restricted by its subtle, unnoticeable pathological changes; hence, clinical presentation is often late. Therefore, biochemical diagnosis is critical. However, the straightforward interpretation of these markers are hindered by factors that contribute to GH – IGF-1 discordance observed both in static and in dynamic function tests. These factors include both markers biological variation and their analytical assay limitations, which lead to false positive and negative results. This review is describing the pitfalls and challenges confounding the biochemical diagnosis of acromegaly. Despite these interpretive challenges, we strongly believe that interpretation of these results could be facilitated by effective clinician-laboratory professional communications which is the highlight of this review. Keywords: Acromegaly, growth hormone (GH), insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP)

Resumen
In a previous vaccination trial, inoculation of env gene DNA failed to elicit a detectable antibody response, yet accelerated virus dissemination in most immunized cats following challenge with feline immunodeficiency virus. This result raised the possibility that cell-mediated immune responses had given rise to immune-mediated enhancement of infection. Since high-level replication of immunodeficiency viruses in lymphocytes requires cellular activation, antigen-specific responses or non-specific polyclonal activation may have increased the frequency of optimal target cells. In the present DNA vaccination trial, although designed so as to minimize non-specific polyclonal activation, immune-mediated enhancement was nonetheless observed in certain immunized cats. Moreover, rapid virus dissemination in vivo was associated with the presence of T-helper responses prior to challenge, and was linked to increased susceptibility of lymphocytes to ex vivo infection. Immune activation may thus be a confounding factor in vaccination against lentivirus infection, diminishing vaccine efficacy and giving rise to immune-mediated enhancement.

Resumen
Abstract. Variations of temperature and hydrological conditions result in the fluctuation of ecosystem respiration (ER). Temperature sensitivity is widely used to describe ER-temperature relationship, but hydrological condition with similar dynamics as temperature could cause confounding effect. Many researchers have made comparisons between long-term and short-term models to show the confounding effect. However, how temperature sensitivity is confounded by hydrological condition in different time scales remains unknown. In this study, data from two coastal wetland sites were used. By comparing the variations of temperature and tidal influence at three time scales (monthly, seasonal and half-yearly), we found that: (1) the co-variation of temperature and other environmental factors accounted for the long-term confounding effect, and (2) the small variances of temperature in short time scale explained the short-term confounding effect. As a result of the long-term confounding effect, greater system errors were introduced in long-term model than short-term did. As the temperature sensitivity derived from long-term "ignored" the alternation of main driving factor of ER, temperature influence on ER was overestimated while the tidal influence was underestimated. Tidal activities had great influences on ER when the variances of temperature were small. If short-term model without tidal effect was applied, short-term confounding effect was inevitable. Compared to the long-term model (half-yearly), short-term model (monthly without tidal effect) performed better that helped reduce the long-term confounding effect, and integrating a proper secondary factor like tide would further reduce the short-term confounding effect.

Resumen
Abstract The majority of research within reproductive and gynecologic health, or investigating ART, is observational in design. One of the most critical challenges for observational studies is confounding, while one of the most important for discovery and inference is effect modification. In this commentary, we explain what confounding and effect modification are and why they matter. We present examples illustrating how failing to adjust for a confounder leads to invalid conclusions, as well as examples where adjusting for a factor that is not a confounder also leads to invalid or imprecise conclusions. Careful consideration of which factors may act as confounders or modifiers of the association of interest is critical to conducting sound research, particularly with complex observational studies in reproductive medicine.

Resumen
Pupillometry, thanks to its strong relationship with cognitive factors and recent advancements in measuring techniques, has become popular among cognitive or neural scientists as a tool for studying the physiological processes involved in mental or neural processes. Despite this growing popularity of pupillometry, the methodological understanding of pupillometry is limited, especially regarding potential factors that may threaten pupillary measurements’ validity. Eye blinking can be a factor because it frequently occurs in a manner dependent on many cognitive components and induces a pulse-like pupillary change consisting of constriction and dilation with substantive magnitude and length. We set out to characterize the basic properties of this “blink-locked pupillary response (BPR),” including the shape and magnitude of BPR and their variability across subjects and blinks, as the first step of studying the confounding nature of eye blinking. Then, we demonstrated how the dependency of eye blinking on cognitive factors could confound, via BPR, the pupillary responses that are supposed to reflect the cognitive states of interest. By building a statistical model of how the confounding effects of eye blinking occur, we proposed a probabilistic-inference algorithm of de-confounding raw pupillary measurements and showed that the proposed algorithm selectively removed BPR and enhanced the statistical power of pupillometry experiments. Our findings call for attention to the presence and confounding nature of BPR in pupillometry. The algorithm we developed here can be used as an effective remedy for the confounding effects of BPR on pupillometry.
