Pełny tekst źródłaLa procedura per la diagnosi di patologie della motilità intestinale non può prescindere da una conoscenza appropriata dei meccanismi fisiologici che regolano il trasporto del cibo ingerito all’interno dell’intestino. Una delle regioni più studiate del tratto gastrointestinale, infatti, è l’esofago: una struttura tubolare in grado di trasportare il cibo dalla bocca allo stomaco mediante una precisa sequenza di contrazioni delle fibre muscolari longitudinali e circonferenziali chiamata peristalsi. Sfortunatamente, alcune patologie e processi degenerativi sono in grado di alterare questo meccanismo, generando dolore toracico, reflusso gastro-esofageo, difficoltà nella deglutizione e/o carcinoma dell’esofago in un numero crescente di soggetti, costituendo un grave problema socio-sanitario. Attualmente, la diagnosi di disturbi della motilità esofagea si svolge analizzando i risultati di un particolare esame clinico chiamato Manometria ad Alta Risoluzione (High Resolution Manometry – HRM), che consente di misurare l’evoluzione temporale della pressione intra-esofagea in diverse posizioni lungo esofago mediante un catetere trans-nasale appositamente progettato. In letteratura sono stati proposti diversi modelli per l’interpretazione di dati da manometria, ma con risultati spesso insoddisfacenti a causa di una valutazione impropria della distribuzione eterogenea delle proprietà fisio-meccaniche dell’esofago e di una inadeguata definizione della loro relazione con i parametri di modello utilizzati. Inoltre, l’identificazione di tali parametri è stata fatta sulla base di dataset ridotti. Oggi, le linee guida per la diagnosi di disordini motori dell’esofago sono definite dalla Classificazione di Chicago (Chicago Classification – CC): un algoritmo gerarchico che individua la patologia sulla base di parametri specifici estratti dall’analisi di dati da HRM. Il punto debole della CC consiste nella necessità di personale specializzato per il calcolo dei parametri, introducendo inevitabilmente variabilità intra- e inter-operatore nei confronti della diagnosi effettuata. In questa ricerca è stata analizzata la motilità esofagea, con l’obiettivo di sviluppare un modello fisiologico in grado di interpretare risultati da esami di HRM. Tale modello è stato definito mediante parametri collegati direttamente a proprietà fisio-meccaniche specifiche dell’esofago, considerando la loro distribuzione eterogenea. Le attività hanno previsto l’implementazione di una procedura per l’individuazione automatica di disfunzioni motorie dell’esofago, basata sull’analisi di dati da HRM. Sono stati quindi definiti alcuni criteri oggettivi per supportare la figura del clinico durante l’attività diagnostica tradizionale di disordini motori dell’esofago. Il modello fisiologico è stato sviluppato per valutare la mappa pressoria generata dal passaggio di una generica onda di pressione. Con riferimento a tale modello, sono stati individuati i set di parametri ottimali per interpretare al meglio gli esami HRM di ciascuno dei soggetti di un training set composto da 229 pazienti e 35 volontari sani. Tutti i soggetti sono stati raggruppati in diverse categorie sulla base del corrispondente stato di salute: normali (73+35 soggetti), Acalasia I (34), Acalasia II (44), Acalasia III (7), ostruzione della giunzione gastro-esofagea (39), sfintere inferiore ipertensivo (9), esofago schiaccianoci (14) e Spasmo Esofageo Diffuso (9). I parametri così identificati sono stati analizzati statisticamente per valutare la loro distribuzione in ciascuna categoria. Le distribuzioni di tali parametri costituiscono la base per lo sviluppo della procedura di diagnosi automatica. Infatti, la condizione di salute di un generico paziente può essere determinata calcolando un “indice di similarità” definito appositamente per rappresentare numericamente l’affinità tra i parametri specifici del paziente e le distribuzioni dei parametri delle diverse categorie del training set. E’ stato così costituito un set preliminare di dati da manometria ad alta risoluzione, corrispondente a soggetti sani e patologici per sviluppare e testare il software sviluppato. L’adeguatezza del modello fisiologico per quanto riguarda l’interpretazione di dati da HRM è stata accertata valutando il coefficiente di determinazione R2 tra i dati sperimentali e i risultati di modello, il quale variava tra 83% e 96% nelle diverse categorie. L’applicazione del modello a ogni soggetto del training set ha permesso inoltre di valutare la distribuzione dei parametri in diverse condizioni di salute. A ulteriore sostegno dell’adeguatezza del modello, è stato osservato che le differenze nelle distribuzioni di parametri tra soggetti sani e patologici sono state riscontrate in corrispondenza delle regioni dell’esofago colpite dalle diverse patologie. Infine, l’affidabilità della procedura di diagnosi automatica è stata valutata analizzando la performance dell’algoritmo, il quale si è dimostrato in grado di individuare la diagnosi corretta nell’86% dei casi considerati. I risultati ottenuti indicano che gli strumenti computazionali sviluppati possono rappresentare un valido sostegno per il personale medico durante l’attività diagnostica tradizionale. Per quanto riguarda gli sviluppi futuri della ricerca, dal momento che le distribuzioni dei parametri costituiscono il fondamento della procedura di diagnosi automatica, le prestazioni del software possono essere migliorate considerando un training set più grande, condividendolo con altri centri di ricerca ed aggiornandolo continuamente. Inoltre, la procedura di diagnosi automatica può essere estesa e resa capace di effettuare diagnosi sulla base di ulteriori esami clinici in grado di fornire informazioni sulla conducibilità, morfometria e comportamento meccanico delle strutture biologiche coinvolte. Queste informazioni potrebbero quindi essere raccolte mediante un unico test clinico per ridurre costi di indagine e invasività per il paziente, e potrebbero essere svolti in contemporanea mediante una sonda endoscopica innovativa già in fase di sviluppo.

Pełny tekst źródłaINTRODUCTION: The aphasic discourse analysis provides important information about the phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects of the language of patients who have suffered a stroke. The evaluation of the discourse, along with other methods, can contribute to observation of the evolution of the language and communication of aphasic patients; however, manual analysis is laborious and can lead to errors. OBJECTIVES: (1) to analyze, by computerized technologies, macro and microstructural aspects of the discourse of healthy cognitive individuals, Broca\'s and anomic aphasics; (2) to explore the discourse as indicator of the evolution of aphasia; (3) to analyze the contribution of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to verify the correlation between behavioral and neuroimaging evolution data. METHOD: Two groups of patients were studied: GA1, consisting of eight individuals with Broca\'s aphasia and anomic aphasia, who were analyzed longitudinally from the sub-acute phase of the lesion and after three and six months; GA2 composed of 15 individuals with Broca\'s and anomic aphasia, with varying times of stroke installation and GC consisting of 30 cognitively healthy participants. Computerized technologies were explored for the analysis of metrics related to the micro and macrostructure of discourses uttered from Cinderela history and Cookie Theft picture. RESULTS: Comparing the GC and GA2, in relation to the discourse macrostructure, it was observed that the GA2 aphasics differed significantly from the GC in relation to the total number of propositions emitted; considering the microstructure, seven metrics differentiated both groups. There was a significant difference in the macro and microstructure between the discourses of Broca\'s aphasic subjects and anomic ones. It was possible to verify differences in macro and microstructure measurements in GA1 with the advancement of injury time. In GA1, the comparison between parameters in the sub-acute phase and after 6 months of stroke revealed differences in macrostructure - increase in the number of propositions of the orientation block and of the total propositions. Regarding the microstructure, the initial measures of syllable metrics by word content, incidence of nouns and incidence of content words differed after 6 months of intervention. The variable incidence of missing words in the dictionary showed a significantly lower value after three months of stroke. Cinderella\'s story provided more complete microstructure data than the Cookie Theft picture. There was no change in SPECT over time, without demonstration of change with the evolution of aphasia. CONCLUSION: The discourse produced from the history of Cinderella and the Cookie Theft picture generated material for macrostructure and microstructure analysis of cognitively healthy and aphasic individuals, made it possible to quantify and qualify the evolution of language in different phases of stroke recuperation and distinguished the behavior of healthy and with Broca´s and anomic aphasia, in macro and microstructure aspects. The exploration of computerized tools facilitated the analysis of the data in relation to the microstructure, but it was not applicable to the macrostructure, demonstrating that there is a need for tool adjustments for the discourse analysis of patients. SPECT data did not reflect the behavioral improvement of the language of aphasic subjects

Pełny tekst źródłaINTRODUCTION: Population aging is a social trend known in developed countries and increasingly pronounced in developing countries. Dementia is considered one of the main health problems due to the rapid population growth of the elderly, and language disorders are considered important in these settings. The discourse is important for the identification of linguistic disorders in dementias as well as in the follow-up of these patients. The discourse differences characterization can help on the differential diagnosis and contribute to the creation of future tools for clinical intervention and help prevent the evolution and/or progression of dementia. The transcription and discourse analysis are laborius, thus the use of computational methods helped in the identification and extraction of linguistic characteristics. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify changes in micro and macrolinguistic aspects that differentiate individuals with Alzheimer\'s disease, mild cognitive impairment and healthy elderly individuals during narrative of figures in sequence and to explore the computational tool (Coh-Metrix-Dementia) to analyze the subjects\' discourse. METHODS: 60 subjects were evaluated, 20 of them in each research group (mild Alzheimer\'s disease - GDA, amnestic cognitive impairment - GCCLa and control - CG). The subjects were asked to construct a narrative based on sequence of pictures, about the \"Cinderella´s Story\". The following linguistic-cognitive tests were also applied: Verbal Fluency, Boston Naming Test, and Camel and Cactus test. Coh-Metrix-Dementia was used for automatic metrics extraction. RESULTS: The values extracted by Coh-Metrix-Dementia were statistically treated and it was possible to obtain metrics capable of distinguishing the studied groups. In relation to the microlinguistic aspects, it was found the reduction in syntactic abilities, greater difficulty in verbal rescue, discourses with less cohesion and local coherence in the GDA. In the macrolinguistic level the GDA presented the less informative discourses, with greater loss in global coherence and the greater number of modalizations. The GDA also presented greater impairment on narrative structure. It was not possible to discriminate GCCLa and GC in any discourse´s metric in this study tool functioning. CONCLUSION: The GDA subjects presented discourses with greater macro and microstructural impairment. The computational tool usage proved to be an important ally for discursive analysis

The intelligent diagnosis system can obtain potential information by analyzing the equipment maintenance records to establish a diagnosis model. Therefore, an appropriate diagnosis method and complete records are the foundation of the intelligent diagnosis system. However, missing values, outliers, or redundant data in the records may result in poor data quality and decreasing the accuracy of the diagnostic results. Moreover, different diagnostic methods have their own needs for data types, formats, etc. In order to improve data quality and meet the needs of diagnosis methods, a series of data pre-processing are required. This study uses a reciprocating compressor as object, discusses the data required for intelligent diagnostic system, and proposes two-stage data pre-processing procedures for equipment maintenance records. On the other hand, an experiment was conducted using a neural network as a diagnostic method to compare the data transformation and dimensionality reduction results of the different normalization methods and principal component analysis (PCA), and the impact on the diagnostic results. The results show that different normalization methods have different characteristics, which will change the distribution of the data. In addition, PCA is a widely used method of dimensional reduction, but there are still limitations in its application. When performing equipment fault diagnosis, PCA may ignore the small changes in the fault characteristics of the equipment The intelligent diagnosis system based on equipment maintenance records seems to be feasible, but companies will face the problem of insufficient data and poor quality when promoting. This also leads to taking about 75% of the time in data processing. If the company has complete records and the research of intelligent diagnosis is developing well, it will eventually be able to achieve the purpose of intelligent diagnosis.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, tongue diagnosis is as important as pulse diagnosis, the tongue diagnosis dialectic in its objectivity and consistency is longstanding issue. In this study, we established a tongue-diagnosis-evaluation data collection system for analysis and research of tongue image, to collects massive information of tongue images and its features. With these clinical data, the basic of tongue diagnosis study could be founded, which would facilitate the later research. When applying clinical data in medical studies, the reliability of data could effects the credibility of study directly. In this study, cloud storage structure is applied. By designing the operation of human-computer interface, a consistent standard process of collecting multiple doctor’s evaluation is provided, which could avoid the incompletion of diagnostic information. For captured tongue diagnosis images, based on clinic environment and tongue image capturing environment, color correction is applied. However, studies from past decade indicated that physician only did evaluation on standard-colored images, which might cause different results when evaluating tongue features due to inability of adapting the color information in different environment. To solve the problem mentioned above, in this study we provide a consistent standard process of color correction. Furthermore, the color correction will be carry out based on clinic environment, producing a more suitable image for doctors. Hence, in this study we have provided a standard color correction and color correction based on clinic environment, which make the evaluation results more consistent and clinical data more reliable when doctor conducting feature analysis. In the experimental results, by measuring color consistency, continuity and stability, it proves the proposed color correction method is reliable.

Pełny tekst źródłaOver the next decade, it is estimated that the number of servers (virtual and physical) in enterprise datacenters will grow by a factor of 10, the amount of data managed by these datacenters will grow by a factor of 50, and the number of files the datacenter has to deal with will grow by a factor of 75. Meanwhile, skilled information technology (IT) staff to manage the growing number of servers and data will increase less than 1.5 times. Thus, a system administrator will face the challenging task of managing larger and larger numbers of production systems. We have developed solutions to make the system administrator more productive by automating some of the hard and time-consuming tasks in system management. In particular, we make new contributions in the Monitoring, Problem Diagnosing, and Testing phases of the system management cycle.
We start by describing our contributions in the Monitoring phase. We have developed a tool called Amulet that can continuously monitor and proactively detect problems on production systems. A notoriously hard problem that Amulet can detect is that of data corruption where bits of data in persistent storage differ from their true values. Once a problem is detected, our DiaDS tool helps in diagnosing the cause of the problem. DiaDS uses a novel combination of machine learning techniques and domain knowledge encoded in a symptoms database to guide the system administrator towards the root cause of the problem.
Before applying any change (e.g., changing a configuration parameter setting) to the production system, the system administrator needs to thoroughly understand the effect that this change can have. Well-meaning changes to production systems have led to performance or availability problems in the past. For this phase, our Flex tool enables administrators to evaluate the change hypothetically in a manner that is fairly accurate while avoiding overheads on the production system. We have conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Amulet, DiaDS, and Flex in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, integration of these contributions in the system management cycle, and how these tools bring data-intensive computing systems closer the goal of self-managing systems.

Pełny tekst źródłaPeriodontal disease (PD) affects 42% of US population resulting in compromised quality of life, the potential for tooth loss and influence on overall health. Despite significant understanding of PD etiology, limited longitudinal studies have investigated PD change in response to various treatments. A major barrier is the difficulty of conducting randomized controlled trials with adequate numbers of patients over a longer time. Electronic dental record (EDR) data offer the opportunity to study outcomes following various periodontal treatments. However, using EDR data for research has challenges including quality and missing data. In this dissertation, I studied a cohort of patients with PD from EDR to monitor their disease status over time. I studied retrospectively 28,908 patients who received comprehensive oral evaluation at the Indiana University School of Dentistry between January 1st-2009 and December 31st-2014. Using natural language processing and automated approaches, we 1) determined PD diagnoses from periodontal charting based on case definitions for surveillance studies, 2) extracted clinician-recorded diagnoses from clinical notes, 3) determined the number of patients with disease improvement or progression over time from EDR data. We found 100% completeness for age, sex; 72% for race; 80% for periodontal charting findings; and 47% for clinician-recorded diagnoses. The number of visits ranged from 1-14 with an average of two visits. From diagnoses obtained from findings, 37% of patients had gingivitis, 55% had moderate periodontitis, and 28% had severe periodontitis. In clinician-recorded diagnoses, 50% patients had gingivitis, 18% had mild, 14% had moderate, and 4% had severe periodontitis. The concordance between periodontal charting-generated and clinician-recorded diagnoses was 47%. The results indicate that case definitions for PD are underestimating gingivitis and overestimating the prevalence of periodontitis. Expert review of findings identified clinicians relying on visual assessment and radiographic findings in addition to the case definition criteria to document PD diagnosis.

Pełny tekst źródła到目前為止,對於膠囊內窺鏡的分析和評估,學者們都把膠囊內窺鏡圖像視為單獨的,獨立的觀測對象。事實並非如此,因為圖像之間往往有顯著的重疊。特別是當膠囊內窺鏡在被小腸蠕動緩緩推動時,它可以捕捉同一病灶的多個視圖。我們的研究目的是使用所有可用的資訊,包括多幅圖像,研究對於膠囊內窺鏡的電腦輔助診斷(CAD)系統。
在這篇論文中,我們提出了一個嵌入分類器的多類隱馬爾可夫模型(HMM)的方案,它可以融合多幅相鄰圖像的時間資訊。由於膠囊內窺鏡圖像的品質比較低,我們首先進行預處理,以加強膠囊內窺鏡圖像,增加其對比度,消除噪聲。我們調查研究了多種圖像增強的方法,並調整了它們的參數使其適用於膠囊內窺鏡圖像。
對於基於單幅圖像的有監督的分類,AdaBoost 作為一個集成分類器來融合多個分類器,即本論文中的支持向量機(SVM),k-近鄰(k-NN),貝葉斯分類。在分類之前,我們提取和融合了顏色,邊緣和紋理特徵。
對於無線膠囊內窺鏡的視頻摘要,我們提出了有監督和無監督的兩類方法。對於有監督方法,我們提出了一個基於隱馬爾可夫模型的,靈活的,可擴展的框架,用於整合膠囊內窺鏡中連續圖像的時間資訊。它可以擴展到多類別,多特徵,多狀態。我們還提出了聯合隱馬爾可夫模型和並行隱馬爾可夫(PHMM)模型對系統進行改進,它們可以被看作是決策級的資訊融合。聯合隱馬爾可夫模型通過多層次的隱馬爾可夫模型,結合不同的資訊來源,對膠囊內窺鏡視頻進行分類和視頻摘要。 並行隱馬爾可夫模型採用貝葉斯推理,在決策時融合多個不同來源的資訊。對於無監督的方法,我們首先提出了一種基於顏色的特徵提取方法。在反色顏色空間中對亮度不變的色度不變矩用來表示膠囊內窺鏡圖像的顏色特徵。接著,我們又提出了一種基於輪廓元(Contourlet)變換的局部二元模式(LBP)作為紋理特徵。在特徵空間中,我們測量了相鄰圖像的距離,並把它視為一個位於二維平面上的開放輪廓上的點。 然後,我們採用一個無參數的關鍵點檢測方法檢測在視頻片段上的突變關鍵點。基於這些突變關鍵點,我們對膠囊內窺鏡視頻進行分割。最後,在每段被分割的視頻片段上,我們通過提取有代表性的關鍵幀來實現膠囊內窺鏡視頻摘要。我們分別用模擬和真實的病人數據進行實驗,對提出的方法進行驗證,結果表明了我們所提出的方案的有效性。它在實現自動評估膠囊內窺鏡圖像上具有很大的潛力。
Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (CE) is a non-invasive technology to inspect the whole gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially the small intestine. It has dramatically changed the way of diagnosis and management of many diseases of the small intestine, such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease, small bowel tumors, polyposis syndromes, etc. Despite its promising clinical findings, it still has some limitations. The main problem is that it requires manual assessment of approximately 50,000 low quality images per examination which is highly time-consuming and labor-intense.
CE analysis and assessment so far treated CE images as individual and independent observations. It is obviously not the case as there is often significant overlap among images. In particular, CE captures multiple views of the same anatomy as the capsule is slowly propelled by peristalsis. Our broader work aims to perform computer aided diagnosis (CAD) in endoscopy using all available information, including multiple images.
In this dissertation, a framework of multi-class Hidden Markov Models (HMM) embedded with statistical classifiers for combining information from multiple CE images is proposed. Due to the low quality of CE image, pre-processing is performed to enhance CE images by increasing the contrast and removing noises. Several image enhancement methods are investigated and customized for CE images. For frame-based supervised classification, AdaBoost is used as the ensemble classifier to combine multiple classifiers, i.e. support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), and Bayes classifier. Before classification, color, edge and texture features are extracted and fused. Finally, both supervised and unsupervised methods are proposed for CE study synopsis. For supervised method, a flexible and extensible framework based on HMM is developed to integrate temporal information in CE images. It can be extended to multi-class, multi-features, and multi-states. Improvements can be made by combined HMM and Parallel HMM (PHMM) which are introduced as decision-level fusion schemes. Combined HMM considers different sources via a multi-layer HMM model to perform classification and video synopsis. PHMM employs Bayesian inference to combine the recognition results at decision level. For unsupervised method, illumination-independent opponent color moment invariants and local binary pattern (LBP) based on Contourlet transform are explored as color and texture features, respectively. Pair-wise image dissimilarity is measured in the feature space and treated as points on an open contour in a 2-D plane. CE video is segmented based on sudden change points which are detected using a non-parametric key-point detection method. From each segment, representative frames are extracted to summarize the CE video. Validation results on simulated and real patient data show promising performance of the proposed framework. It has great potential to achieve automatic assessment for CE images.

Pełny tekst źródłaPURPOSE: To investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the aqueduct of Sylvius (AoS) in chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI)-positive and -negative healthy individuals using cine phase contrast imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-one healthy individuals (32 CCSVI-negative and 19 age-matched CCSVI-positive subjects) were examined using Doppler sonography (DS). Diagnosis of CCSVI was established if subjects fulfilled >/=2 venous hemodynamic criteria on DS. CSF flow and velocity measures were quantified using a semiautomated method and compared with clinical and routine 3T MRI outcomes. RESULTS: CCSVI was associated with increased CSF pulsatility in the AoS. Net positive CSF flow was 32% greater in the CCSVI-positive group compared with the CCSVI-negative group (P = 0.008). This was accompanied by a 28% increase in the mean aqueductal characteristic signal (ie, the AoS cross-sectional area over the cardiac cycle) in the CCSVI-positive group compared with the CCSVI-negative group (P = 0.021). CONCLUSION: CSF dynamics are altered in CCSVI-positive healthy individuals, as demonstrated by increased pulsatility. This is accompanied by enlargement of the AoS, suggesting that structural changes may be occurring in the brain parenchyma of CCSVI-positive healthy individuals.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe rapid innovations in biotechnology have led to an exponential growth of data and electronically accessible scientific literature. In this enormous scientific data, knowledge can be exploited, and novel discoveries can be made. In my dissertation, I have focused on the novel molecular mechanism and therapeutic discoveries from big data for complex diseases. It is very evident today that complex diseases have many factors including genetics and environmental effects. The discovery of these factors is challenging and critical in personalized medicine. The increasing cost and time to develop new drugs poses a new challenge in effectively treating complex diseases. In this dissertation, we want to demonstrate that the use of existing data and literature as a potential resource for discovering novel therapies and in repositioning existing drugs. The key to identifying novel knowledge is in integrating information from decades of research across the different scientific disciplines to uncover interactions that are not explicitly stated. This puts critical information at the fingertips of researchers and clinicians who can take advantage of this newly acquired knowledge to make informed decisions. This dissertation utilizes computational biology methods to identify and integrate existing scientific data and literature resources in the discovery of novel molecular targets and drugs that can be repurposed. In chapters 1 of my dissertation, I extensively sifted through scientific literature and identified a novel interaction between Vitamin A and CYP19A1 that could lead to a potential increase in the production of estrogens. Further in chapter 2 by exploring a microarray dataset from an estradiol gene sensitivity study I was able to identify a potential novel anti-estrogenic indication for the commonly used urinary analgesic, phenazopyridine. Both discoveries were experimentally validated in the laboratory. In chapter 3 of my dissertation, through the use of a manually curated corpus and machine learning algorithms, I identified and extracted genes that are essential for cell survival. These results brighten the reality that novel knowledge with potential clinical applications can be discovered from existing data and literature by integrating information across various scientific disciplines.
