Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder commonly seen in childhood that leads to behavioural changes in social development and communication patterns, often continues into undiagnosed adulthood due to a global shortage of psychiatrists, resulting in delayed diagnoses with lasting consequences on individual’s well-being and the societal impact. Recently, machine learning methodologies have been incorporated into healthcare systems to facilitate the diagnosis and enhance the potential prediction of treatment outcomes for mental health conditions. In ADHD detection, the previous research focused on utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, which require costly equipment and trained personnel for data collection. In recent years, speech and text modalities have garnered increasing attention due to their cost-effectiveness and non-wearable sensing in data collection. In this research, conducted in collaboration with the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, we gathered audio data from both ADHD patients and normal controls based on the clinically popular Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA). Subsequently, we transformed the speech data into text modalities through the utilization of the Google Cloud Speech API. We extracted both acoustic and text features from the data, encompassing traditional acoustic features (e.g., MFCC), specialized feature sets (e.g., eGeMAPS), as well as deep-learned linguistic and semantic features derived from pre-trained deep learning models. These features are employed in conjunction with a support vector machine for ADHD classification, yielding promising outcomes in the utilization of audio and text data for effective adult ADHD screening. Clinical impact: This research introduces a transformative approach in ADHD diagnosis, employing speech and text analysis to facilitate early and more accessible detection, particularly beneficial in areas with limited psychiatric resources. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The successful application of machine learning techniques in analyzing audio and text data for ADHD screening represents a significant advancement in mental health diagnostics, paving the way for its integration into clinical settings and potentially improving patient outcomes on a broader scale.
注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)是一种常见于儿童期的神经发育障碍,会导致社交发展和沟通模式的行为改变,由于全球精神科医生短缺,这种障碍往往会持续到成年而得不到诊断,导致诊断延迟,对个人福祉和社会影响造成持久后果。最近,机器学习方法已被纳入医疗保健系统,以促进诊断并增强对精神健康状况治疗结果的潜在预测。在多动症检测方面,以往的研究侧重于利用功能磁共振成像(fMRI)或脑电图(EEG)信号,这需要昂贵的设备和训练有素的人员来收集数据。近年来,语音和文本模式因其成本效益高且在数据收集过程中不需要穿戴感应设备而受到越来越多的关注。在这项与坎布里亚、诺森伯兰、泰恩和威尔国家医疗服务系统基金会合作进行的研究中,我们根据临床上流行的成人多动症诊断访谈(DIVA),收集了多动症患者和正常对照组的音频数据。随后,我们利用谷歌云语音应用程序接口(Google Cloud Speech API)将语音数据转换为文本模式。我们从数据中提取了声学和文本特征,包括传统的声学特征(如 MFCC)、专业特征集(如 eGeMAPS),以及从预先训练的深度学习模型中提取的深度学习语言和语义特征。这些特征与支持向量机一起用于多动症分类,在利用音频和文本数据进行有效的成人多动症筛查方面取得了可喜的成果。临床影响:这项研究在多动症诊断中引入了一种变革性方法,利用语音和文本分析促进早期和更方便的检测,尤其有利于精神科资源有限的地区。临床和转化影响声明:在多动症筛查中成功应用机器学习技术分析音频和文本数据,是心理健康诊断领域的一大进步,为其融入临床环境铺平了道路,并有可能在更大范围内改善患者的治疗效果。

Wearable sensing has become a vital approach to cardiac health monitoring, and seismocardiography (SCG) is emerging as a promising technology in this field. However, the applicability of SCG is hindered by motion artifacts, including those encountered in practice of which the strongest source is walking. This holds back the translation of SCG to clinical settings. We therefore investigated techniques to enhance the quality of SCG signals in the presence of motion artifacts. To simulate ambulant recordings, we corrupted a clean SCG dataset with real-walking-vibrational noise. We decomposed the signal using several empirical-mode-decomposition methods and the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT). By combining MODWT, time-frequency masking, and nonnegative matrix factorization, we developed a novel algorithm which leveraged the vertical axis accelerometer to reduce walking vibrations in dorsoventral SCG. The accuracy and applicability of our method was verified using heart rate estimation. We used an interactive selection approach to improve estimation accuracy. The best decomposition method for reduction of motion artifact noise was the MODWT. Our algorithm improved heart rate estimation from 0.1 to 0.8 r-squared at −15 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Our method reduces motion artifacts in SCG signals up to a SNR of −19 dB without requiring any external assistance from electrocardiography (ECG). Such a standalone solution is directly applicable to the usage of SCG in daily life, as a content-rich replacement for other wearables in clinical settings, and other continuous monitoring scenarios. In applications with higher noise levels, ECG may be incorporated to further enhance SCG and extend its usable range. This work addresses the challenges posed by motion artifacts, enabling SCG to offer reliable cardiovascular insights in more difficult scenarios, and thereby facilitating wearable monitoring in daily life and the clinic.
可穿戴传感技术已成为心脏健康监测的重要方法,而地震心动图(SCG)正成为该领域一项前景广阔的技术。然而,运动伪影阻碍了地震心动图的应用,包括在实践中遇到的运动伪影,其中最主要的来源是行走。这阻碍了 SCG 在临床环境中的应用。因此,我们研究了在存在运动伪影的情况下提高 SCG 信号质量的技术。为了模拟伏卧记录,我们用真实行走振动噪声破坏了一个干净的 SCG 数据集。我们使用几种经验模式分解方法和最大重叠离散小波变换(MODWT)对信号进行分解。通过结合 MODWT、时频掩蔽和非负矩阵因式分解,我们开发出了一种新型算法,该算法利用垂直轴加速度计来减少 SCG 背腹部的行走振动。我们使用心率估算验证了该方法的准确性和适用性。我们采用交互式选择方法来提高估算的准确性。减少运动伪噪声的最佳分解方法是 MODWT。在信噪比(SNR)为-15 dB的情况下,我们的算法将心率估计值的r平方从0.1提高到0.8。我们的方法可将 SCG 信号中的运动伪影降低至信噪比为 -19 dB,而无需心电图(ECG)的任何外部辅助。这种独立的解决方案可直接应用于日常生活中的 SCG 使用,在临床环境中作为其他可穿戴设备的内容丰富的替代品,以及其他连续监测场景。在噪声水平较高的应用中,可结合心电图进一步增强 SCG 并扩大其可用范围。这项工作解决了运动伪影带来的挑战,使 SCG 能够在更困难的情况下提供可靠的心血管见解,从而促进日常生活和临床中的可穿戴监测。

Brain state classification by applying deep learning techniques on neuroimaging data has become a recent topic of research. However, unlike domains where the data is low dimensional or there are large number of available training samples, neuroimaging data is high dimensional and has few training samples. To tackle these issues, we present a sparse feedforward deep neural architecture for encoding and decoding the structural connectome of the human brain. We use a sparsely connected element-wise multiplication as the first hidden layer and a fixed transform layer as the output layer. The number of trainable parameters and the training time is significantly reduced compared to feedforward networks. We demonstrate superior performance of this architecture in encoding the structural connectome implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) from DTI brain scans. For decoding, we propose recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm based on DeepLIFT, layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP), and Integrated Gradients (IG) algorithms to remove irrelevant features and thereby identify key biomarkers associated with AD and PD. We show that the proposed architecture reduces 45.1% and 47.1% of the trainable parameters compared to a feedforward DNN with an increase in accuracy by 2.6 % and 3.1% for cognitively normal (CN) vs AD and CN vs PD classification, respectively. We also show that the proposed RFE method leads to a further increase in accuracy by 2.1% and 4% for CN vs AD and CN vs PD classification, while removing approximately 90% to 95% irrelevant features. Furthermore, we argue that the biomarkers (i.e., key brain regions and connections) identified are consistent with previous literature. We show that relevancy score-based methods can yield high discriminative power and are suitable for brain decoding. We also show that the proposed approach led to a reduction in the number of trainable network parameters, an increase in classification accuracy, and a detection of brain connections and regions that were consistent with earlier studies.
在神经影像数据上应用深度学习技术进行大脑状态分类已成为近期的研究课题。然而,与数据维度低或有大量可用训练样本的领域不同,神经影像数据维度高且训练样本少。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了一种用于编码和解码人脑结构连接组的稀疏前馈深度神经架构。我们使用稀疏连接的元素相乘作为第一隐层,使用固定变换层作为输出层。与前馈网络相比,可训练参数的数量和训练时间大大减少。我们从 DTI 脑扫描中提取了与阿尔茨海默病(AD)和帕金森病(PD)有关的结构连接组,证明了这种架构在编码方面的卓越性能。在解码方面,我们提出了基于 DeepLIFT、层相关性传播(LRP)和集成梯度(IG)算法的递归特征消除(RFE)算法,以去除不相关的特征,从而识别出与 AD 和 PD 相关的关键生物标记物。我们的研究表明,与前馈 DNN 相比,所提出的架构减少了 45.1% 和 47.1% 的可训练参数,在认知正常 (CN) vs AD 和 CN vs PD 分类中的准确率分别提高了 2.6% 和 3.1%。我们还表明,在去除约 90% 到 95% 的无关特征的同时,所提出的 RFE 方法还能将 CN vs AD 和 CN vs PD 分类的准确率进一步提高 2.1% 和 4%。此外,我们还认为所识别的生物标志物(即关键脑区和连接)与之前的文献一致。我们表明,基于相关性得分的方法可以产生很高的判别能力,适用于大脑解码。我们还表明,所提出的方法减少了可训练网络参数的数量,提高了分类准确性,并发现了与先前研究一致的大脑连接和区域。

Objective: Metabolic changes have been extensively documented in neurodegenerative brain disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Mutations in the C. elegans swip-10 gene result in dopamine (DA) dependent motor dysfunction accompanied by DA neuron degeneration. Recently, the putative human ortholog of swip-10 (MBLAC1) was implicated as a risk factor in AD, a disorder that, like PD, has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, the AD risk associated with MBLAC1 arises in subjects with cardiovascular morbidity, suggesting a broader functional insult arising from reduced MBLAC1 protein expression and one possibly linked to metabolic alterations. Methods: Our current studies, utilizing Mblac1 knockout (KO) mice, seek to determine whether mitochondrial respiration is affected in the peripheral tissues of these mice. We quantified the levels of mitochondrial coenzymes, NADH, FAD, and their redox ratio (NADH/FAD, RR) in livers and kidneys of wild-type (WT) mice and their homozygous KO littermates of males and females, using 3D optical cryo-imaging. Results: Compared to WT, the RR of livers from KO mice was significantly reduced, without an apparent sex effect, driven predominantly by significantly lower NADH levels. In contrast, no genotype and sex differences were observed in kidney samples. Serum analyses of WT and KO mice revealed significantly elevated glucose levels in young and aged KO adults and diminished cholesterol levels in the aged KOs, consistent with liver dysfunction. Discussion/Conclusion: As seen with C. elegans swip-10 mutants, loss of MBLAC1 protein results in metabolic changes that are not restricted to neural cells and are consistent with the presence of peripheral comorbidities accompanying neurodegenerative disease in cases where MBLAC1 expression changes impact risk.
目的:在包括帕金森病和阿尔茨海默病(AD)在内的脑神经退行性疾病中,代谢变化已被广泛记录。elegans swip-10 基因突变会导致多巴胺(DA)依赖性运动功能障碍,并伴有 DA 神经元变性。最近,swip-10 的推测人类直向同源物(MBLAC1)被认为是 AD 的一个风险因素,AD 和 PD 一样,都与线粒体功能障碍有关。有趣的是,与 MBLAC1 相关的注意力缺失症风险出现在心血管疾病患者身上,这表明 MBLAC1 蛋白表达减少会导致更广泛的功能损伤,而且可能与代谢改变有关。方法:我们目前的研究利用 Mblac1 基因敲除(KO)小鼠,试图确定这些小鼠外周组织的线粒体呼吸是否受到影响。我们利用三维光学冷冻成像技术量化了野生型(WT)小鼠及其同源基因 KO 小鼠雌雄肝脏和肾脏中线粒体辅酶 NADH、FAD 的水平及其氧化还原比率(NADH/FAD,RR)。结果发现与 WT 小鼠相比,KO 小鼠肝脏的 RR 显著降低,且无明显性别效应,这主要是由于 NADH 水平显著降低所致。相比之下,肾脏样本中未观察到基因型和性别差异。对 WT 和 KO 小鼠的血清分析表明,年轻和年老的 KO 成年小鼠体内葡萄糖水平明显升高,而年老的 KO 小鼠体内胆固醇水平降低,这与肝功能异常一致。讨论/结论:正如在 C. elegans swip-10 突变体中看到的那样,MBLAC1 蛋白缺失导致的代谢变化并不局限于神经细胞,在 MBLAC1 表达变化影响风险的情况下,这与神经退行性疾病伴随的外周合并症的存在是一致的。

Compliant Intramedullary Stems for Joint Reconstruction 用于关节重建的顺应性髓内骨茎

The longevity of current joint replacements is limited by aseptic loosening, which is the primary cause of non-infectious failure for hip, knee, and ankle arthroplasty. Aseptic loosening is typically caused either by osteolysis from particulate wear, or by high shear stresses at the bone-implant interface from over-constraint. Our objective was to demonstrate feasibility of a compliant intramedullary stem that eliminates over-constraint without generating particulate wear. The compliant stem is built around a compliant mechanism that permits rotation about a single axis. We first established several models to understand the relationship between mechanism geometry and implant performance under a given angular displacement and compressive load. We then used a neural network to identify a design space of geometries that would support an expected 100-year fatigue life inside the body. We additively manufactured one representative mechanism for each of three anatomic locations, and evaluated these prototypes on a KR-210 robot. The neural network predicts maximum stress and torsional stiffness with 2.69% and 4.08% error respectively, relative to finite element analysis data. We identified feasible design spaces for all three of the anatomic locations. Simulated peak stresses for the three stem prototypes were below the fatigue limit. Benchtop performance of all three prototypes was within design specifications. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of designing patient- and joint-specific compliant stems that address the root causes of aseptic loosening. Guided by these results, we expect the use of compliant intramedullary stems in joint reconstruction technology to increase implant lifetime.
无菌性松动是髋关节、膝关节和踝关节置换术非感染性失败的主要原因,它限制了目前关节置换术的使用寿命。无菌性松动通常是由微粒磨损造成的骨溶解或过度约束造成的骨-植入物界面的高剪切应力引起的。我们的目标是证明顺应性髓内骨干的可行性,这种骨干可以在不产生微粒磨损的情况下消除过度约束。这种顺应性髓内骨干是围绕一个顺应性机制建立的,该机制允许围绕单轴旋转。我们首先建立了几个模型,以了解在给定角位移和压缩载荷下机构几何形状与植入物性能之间的关系。然后,我们利用神经网络确定了一个几何设计空间,该空间可支持预期的体内 100 年疲劳寿命。我们为三个解剖位置各加成制造了一个具有代表性的机构,并在 KR-210 机器人上对这些原型进行了评估。与有限元分析数据相比,神经网络预测的最大应力和扭转刚度误差分别为 2.69% 和 4.08%。我们为所有三个解剖位置确定了可行的设计空间。三种茎干原型的模拟峰值应力均低于疲劳极限。所有三种原型的台式性能均符合设计规范。我们的研究结果表明,设计针对患者和关节的顺应性骨干是可行的,可以解决无菌性松动的根本原因。在这些结果的指导下,我们期望在关节重建技术中使用顺应性髓内干能延长植入物的使用寿命。

Objective: Cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) demonstrates superior survival rates compared to uncemented procedures. Nevertheless, most younger patients opt for uncemented THA, as removing well-fixed bone cement in the femur during revisions is complex, particularly the distal cement plug. This removal procedure often increases the risk of femoral fracture or perforation, haemorrhage and weakening bone due to poor drill control and positioning. Aim of this study was to design a novel drill guide to improve drill positioning. Methods and procedures: A novel orthopaedic drill guide was developed, featuring a compliant centralizer activated by a drill guide actuator. Bone models were prepared to assess centralizing performance. Three conditions were tested: drilling without guidance, guided drilling with centralizer activation held, and guided drilling with centralizer activation released. Deviations from the bone centre were measured at the entry and exit point of the drill. Results: In the centralizing performance test, the drill guide significantly reduced drill hole deviations in both entry and exit points compared to the control ( $p < 0.05$ ). The absolute deviation on the exit side of the cement plug was 10.59mm (SD 1.56) for the ‘No drill guide‘ condition, 3.02mm (SD 2.09) for ‘Drill guide – hold‘ and 2.12mm (SD 1.71) for ‘Drill guide – release‘. The compliant drill guide centralizer significantly lowered the risk of cortical bone perforation during intramedullary canal drilling in the bone models due to better control of the cement drill position. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The drill guide potentially reduces perioperative risks in cemented femoral stem revision. Future research should identify optimal scenarios for its application.
目的:与非骨水泥全髋关节置换术(THA)相比,骨水泥全髋关节置换术的存活率更高。尽管如此,大多数年轻患者仍选择非骨水泥全髋关节置换术,因为在翻修过程中清除股骨中固定良好的骨水泥非常复杂,尤其是远端骨水泥塞。由于钻孔控制和定位不佳,清除过程往往会增加股骨骨折或穿孔、大出血和骨质减弱的风险。本研究旨在设计一种新型钻头导向器,以改善钻头定位。方法和程序:开发了一种新型骨科钻导向器,其特点是由钻导向器致动器激活的顺应性集中器。制备了骨骼模型以评估集中性能。测试了三种情况:无引导钻孔、保持中心器激活状态的引导钻孔和释放中心器激活状态的引导钻孔。在钻头的进入点和退出点测量了与骨中心的偏差。结果显示在集中性能测试中,与对照组相比,钻头导向器显著减少了钻孔入口和出口的偏差(p < 0.05$)。无钻杆导向器 "条件下,水泥塞出口侧的绝对偏差为 10.59 毫米(标准差 1.56),"钻杆导向器-保持 "条件下为 3.02 毫米(标准差 2.09),"钻杆导向器-释放 "条件下为 2.12 毫米(标准差 1.71)。由于更好地控制了骨水泥钻的位置,顺应性钻导集中器大大降低了骨模型髓内管钻孔过程中皮质骨穿孔的风险。临床和转化影响声明:钻导器可降低骨水泥股骨干翻修的围手术期风险。未来的研究应确定其应用的最佳方案。

The field of cancer diagnostics has been revolutionized by liquid biopsies, which offer a bridge between laboratory research and clinical settings. These tests are less invasive than traditional biopsies and more convenient than routine imaging methods. Liquid biopsies allow studying of tumor-derived markers in bodily fluids, enabling the development of more precise cancer diagnostic tests for screening, disease monitoring, and therapy personalization. This study presents a multiclass approach based on deep learning to analyze and classify diseases based on blood platelet RNA. Its primary objective is to enhance cancer-type diagnosis in clinical settings by leveraging the power of deep learning combined with high-throughput sequencing of liquid biopsy. Ultimately, the study demonstrates the potential of this approach to accurately identify the patient’s type of cancer. Methods: The developed method classifies patients using heatmap images, generated based on gene expression arranged according to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways. The images represent samples of patients with ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and sarcoma, as well as cancer patients with brain metastasis. Results: Our deep learning-based models reached 66.51% balanced accuracy when distinguishing between those 6 sites of cancer origin and 90.5% balanced accuracy on a location-specific dataset where cancer types from close locations were grouped. The developed models were further investigated with an explainable artificial intelligence-based approach (XAI) - SHAP. They returned a set of 60 genes with the highest impact on the models’ decision-making process. Conclusions: Our results show that deep-learning methods are a promising opportunity for cancer detection and could support clinicians’ decision-making process in finding the solution for the black-box problem. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement— Utilizing TEPs-based liquid biopsies and deep learning, our study offers a novel approach to early cancer detection, highlighting cancer origin. The integration of Explainable AI reinforces trust in predictive outcomes. Category: Early/Pre-Clinical Research.
液体活检为癌症诊断领域带来了一场革命,它在实验室研究和临床环境之间架起了一座桥梁。与传统活检相比,液体活检创伤更小,比常规成像方法更方便。通过液体活检可以研究体液中的肿瘤标记物,从而开发出更精确的癌症诊断测试,用于筛查、疾病监测和个性化治疗。本研究提出了一种基于深度学习的多类别方法,可根据血小板 RNA 对疾病进行分析和分类。其主要目的是利用深度学习的力量,结合液体活检的高通量测序,加强临床环境中的癌症类型诊断。最终,该研究证明了这种方法在准确识别患者癌症类型方面的潜力。方法:所开发的方法利用热图图像对患者进行分类,热图图像是根据《京都基因和基因组百科全书》的通路排列的基因表达生成的。这些图像代表了卵巢癌、子宫内膜癌、胶质母细胞瘤、非小细胞肺癌和肉瘤患者以及脑转移癌症患者的样本。结果我们基于深度学习的模型在区分这6种癌症起源部位时达到了66.51%的均衡准确率,而在对来自相近地点的癌症类型进行分组的特定地点数据集上达到了90.5%的均衡准确率。利用基于可解释人工智能的方法(XAI)--SHAP,对所开发的模型进行了进一步研究。结果显示,有 60 个基因对模型的决策过程影响最大。结论我们的研究结果表明,深度学习方法在癌症检测方面大有可为,可以帮助临床医生在决策过程中找到黑盒子问题的解决方案。临床和转化影响声明--利用基于 TEPs 的液体活检和深度学习,我们的研究为早期癌症检测提供了一种新方法,突出了癌症的起源。可解释人工智能的整合增强了人们对预测结果的信任。类别:早期/临床前研究早期/临床前研究。

Executive functions (EFs) are neurocognitive processes planning and regulating daily life actions. Performance of two simultaneous tasks, requiring the same cognitive resources, lead to a cognitive fatigue. Several studies investigated cognitive-motor task and the interference during walking, highlighting an increasing risk of falls especially in elderly and people with neurological diseases. A few studies instrumentally explored relationship between activation-no-activation of two EFs (working memory and inhibition) and spatial-temporal gait parameters. Aim of our study was to detect activation of inhibition and working memory during progressive difficulty levels of cognitive tasks and spontaneous walking using, respectively, wireless electroencephalography (EEG) and 3D-gait analysis. Thirteen healthy subjects were recruited. Two cognitive tasks were performed, activating inhibition (Go-NoGo) and working memory (N-back). EEG features (absolute and relative power in different bands) and kinematic parameters (7 spatial-temporal ones and Gait Variable Score for 9 range of motion of lower limbs) were analyzed. A significant decrease of stride length and an increase of external-rotation of foot progression were found during dual task with Go-NoGo. Moreover, a significant correlation was found between the relative power in the delta band at channels Fz, C4 and progressive difficulty levels of Go-NoGo (activating inhibition) during walking, whereas working memory showed no correlation. This study reinforces the hypothesis of the prevalent involvement of inhibition with respect to working memory during dual task walking and reveals specific kinematic adaptations. The foundations for EEG-based monitoring of cognitive processes involved in gait are laid. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: Clinical and instrumental evaluation and training of executive functions (as inhibition), during cognitive-motor task, could be useful for rehabilitation treatment of gait disorder in elderly and people with neurological disease.
执行功能(EFs)是规划和调节日常生活行为的神经认知过程。同时执行两项任务,需要相同的认知资源,会导致认知疲劳。有几项研究调查了认知-运动任务以及行走过程中的干扰,结果表明,尤其是老年人和患有神经系统疾病的人,跌倒的风险越来越大。少数研究用工具探索了两种 EF(工作记忆和抑制)的激活与否与空间-时间步态参数之间的关系。我们的研究旨在通过无线脑电图(EEG)和三维步态分析,分别检测在认知任务和自发行走的渐进难度过程中抑制和工作记忆的激活情况。我们招募了 13 名健康受试者。他们完成了两项认知任务,即激活抑制(Go-NoGo)和工作记忆(N-back)。对脑电图特征(不同波段的绝对和相对功率)和运动学参数(7 个空间-时间参数和下肢 9 个运动范围的步态变量评分)进行了分析。结果发现,在进行 Go-NoGo 双重任务时,步长明显缩短,脚外旋率明显增加。此外,研究还发现,在行走过程中,Fz、C4 频道三角波段的相对功率与 Go-NoGo 的渐进难度水平(激活抑制)之间存在明显的相关性,而工作记忆则没有相关性。这项研究加强了在双重任务步行过程中抑制与工作记忆普遍相关的假设,并揭示了特定的运动适应性。为基于脑电图监测步态中的认知过程奠定了基础。临床和转化影响声明:在认知运动任务过程中,对执行功能(如抑制)进行临床和工具评估与训练,有助于老年人和神经系统疾病患者步态障碍的康复治疗。

Objective: A change in handwriting is an early sign of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, significant inter-person differences in handwriting make it difficult to identify pathological handwriting, especially in the early stages. This paper reports the testing of NeuroDiag, a software-based medical device, for the automated detection of PD using handwriting patterns. NeuroDiag is designed to direct the user to perform six drawing and writing tasks, and the recordings are then uploaded onto a server for analysis. Kinematic information and pen pressure of handwriting are extracted and used as baseline parameters. NeuroDiag was trained based on 26 PD patients in the early stage of the disease and 26 matching controls. Methods: Twenty-three people with PD (PPD) in their early stage of the disease, 25 age-matched healthy controls (AMC), and 7 young healthy controls were recruited for this study. Under the supervision of a consultant neurologist or their nurse, the participants used NeuroDiag. The reports were generated in real-time and tabulated by an independent observer. Results: The participants were able to use NeuroDiag without assistance. The handwriting data was successfully uploaded to the server where the report was automatically generated in real-time. There were significant differences in the writing speed between PPD and AMC (P<0.001). NeuroDiag showed 86.96% sensitivity and 76.92% specificity in differentiating PPD from those without PD. Conclusion: In this work, we tested the reliability of NeuroDiag in differentiating between PPD and AMC for real-time applications. The results show that NeuroDiag has the potential to be used to assist neurologists and for telehealth applications. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement — This pre-clinical study shows the feasibility of developing a community-wide screening program for Parkinson’s disease using automated handwriting analysis software, NeuroDiag.
目的:笔迹改变是帕金森病(PD)的早期征兆。然而,由于人与人之间的笔迹差异很大,因此很难识别病态笔迹,尤其是在早期阶段。本文报告了对基于软件的医疗设备 NeuroDiag 的测试,该设备可利用笔迹模式自动检测帕金森病。NeuroDiag 设计用于指导用户执行六项绘画和书写任务,然后将记录上传到服务器进行分析。提取笔迹的运动学信息和笔压作为基线参数。NeuroDiag 基于 26 名早期帕金森病患者和 26 名匹配对照组进行训练。训练方法本研究招募了 23 名早期帕金森病(PPD)患者、25 名年龄匹配的健康对照者(AMC)和 7 名年轻健康对照者。在神经科顾问或其护士的监督下,参与者使用 NeuroDiag。报告由一名独立观察员实时生成并制表。结果参与者无需协助即可使用 NeuroDiag。手写数据被成功上传到服务器,并在服务器上实时自动生成报告。PPD和AMC的书写速度存在明显差异(P<0.001)。NeuroDiag 在区分 PPD 和无 PD 患者方面显示出 86.96% 的灵敏度和 76.92% 的特异性。结论在这项工作中,我们测试了 NeuroDiag 在实时应用中区分 PPD 和 AMC 的可靠性。结果表明,NeuroDiag 有潜力用于协助神经科医生和远程医疗应用。临床和转化影响声明--这项临床前研究表明,利用自动笔迹分析软件 NeuroDiag 开发全社区帕金森病筛查计划是可行的。

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess how the photoplethysmogram frequency and amplitude responses to arousals from sleep differ between arousals caused by apneas and hypopneas with and without blood oxygen desaturations, and spontaneous arousals. Stronger arousal causes were hypothesized to lead to larger and faster responses. Methods and procedures: Photoplethysmogram signal segments during and around respiratory and spontaneous arousals of 876 suspected obstructive sleep apnea patients were analyzed. Logistic functions were fit to the mean instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude of the signal to detect the responses. Response intensities and timings were compared between arousals of different causes. Results: The majority of the studied arousals induced photoplethysmogram responses. The frequency response was more intense ( ${p} < 0.001$ ) after respiratory than spontaneous arousals, and after arousals caused by apneas compared to those caused by hypopneas. The amplitude response was stronger ( ${p} < 0.001$ ) following hypopneas associated with blood oxygen desaturations compared to those that were not. The delays of these responses relative to the electroencephalogram arousal start times were the longest ( ${p} < 0.001$ ) after arousals caused by apneas and the shortest after spontaneous arousals and arousals caused by hypopneas without blood oxygen desaturations. Conclusion: The presence and type of an airway obstruction and the presence of a blood oxygen desaturation affect the intensity and the timing of photoplethysmogram responses to arousals from sleep. Clinical impact: The photoplethysmogram responses could be used for detecting arousals and assessing their intensity, and the individual variation in the response intensity and timing may hold diagnostically significant information.
研究目的本研究旨在评估由呼吸暂停和呼吸减弱引起的睡眠唤醒(伴有或不伴有血氧饱和度降低)与自发唤醒之间的光速图频率和振幅反应有何不同。假设唤醒原因越强,反应越大、越快。方法和程序:分析了 876 名疑似阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者在呼吸和自发唤醒时及其前后的光电血流图信号片段。拟合信号的平均瞬时频率和瞬时振幅的 Logistic 函数来检测反应。比较了不同原因引起的唤醒的反应强度和时间。研究结果所研究的大多数唤醒都引起了光电生理图反应。呼吸唤醒后的频率响应比自发唤醒后的频率响应更强(${p} < 0.001$),呼吸暂停引起的唤醒后的频率响应比呼吸减弱引起的唤醒后的频率响应更强(${p} < 0.001$)。与血氧饱和度低的呼吸暂停相比,血氧饱和度低的呼吸暂停引起的振幅反应更强(${p} <0.001$)。这些反应相对于脑电图唤醒开始时间的延迟在呼吸暂停引起的唤醒后最长(${p} <0.001$),在自发唤醒和无血氧饱和的低通气引起的唤醒后最短。结论气道阻塞的存在和类型以及血氧饱和度的存在会影响从睡眠中唤醒时的光速图反应的强度和时间。临床影响:光敏血流图反应可用于检测唤醒并评估其强度,反应强度和时间的个体差异可能蕴含着重要的诊断信息。

Stronger arousal causes were hypothesized to lead to larger and faster responses. Methods and procedures: Photoplethysmogram signal segments during and around respiratory and spontaneous arousals of 876 suspected obstructive sleep apnea patients were analyzed. Logistic functions were fit to the mean instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude of the signal to detect the responses. Response intensities and timings were compared between arousals of different causes. Results: The majority of the studied arousals induced photoplethysmogram responses. The frequency response was more intense (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>${p} &lt; 0.001$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) after respiratory than spontaneous arousals, and after arousals caused by apneas compared to those caused by hypopneas. The amplitude response was stronger (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>${p} &lt; 0.001$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) following hypopneas associated with blood oxygen desaturations compared to those that were not. The delays of these responses relative to the electroencephalogram arousal start times were the longest (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>${p} &lt; 0.001$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) after arousals caused by apneas and the shortest after spontaneous arousals and arousals caused by hypopneas without blood oxygen desaturations. Conclusion: The presence and type of an airway obstruction and the presence of a blood oxygen desaturation affect the intensity and the timing of photoplethysmogram responses to arousals from sleep. Clinical impact: The photoplethysmogram responses could be used for detecting arousals and assessing their intensity, and the individual variation in the response intensity and timing may hold diagnostically significant information.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"328-339"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10380637","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
