A 42-year-old woman presented with drooling, slurred speech, inability to walk and talk, and a recent positive COVID-19 test. She had two prior hospital admissions within the past week for similar symptoms with inconclusive evaluation. MRI of the brain demonstrated multifocal white matter hyperintense lesions on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)/diffusion with variable enhancement. These imaging findings have been described in recent literature and are associated with inflammatory demyelinating disease, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The patient subsequently underwent a brain biopsy with a final diagnosis of inflammatory demyelinating lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first radiologic-pathologic correlation of COVID-19-associated …
Prompt To Be Consistent Is Better Than Self-Consistent? Few-Shot And Zero-Shot Fact Verification With Pre-Trained Language Models, Fengzhu Zeng, Wei Gao
Prompt To Be Consistent Is Better Than Self-Consistent? Few-Shot And Zero-Shot Fact Verification With Pre-Trained Language Models, Fengzhu Zeng, Wei Gao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Few-shot or zero-shot fact verification only relies on a few or no labeled training examples. In this paper, we propose a novel method called ProToCo, to Prompt pre-trained language models (PLMs) To be Consistent, for improving the factuality assessment capability of PLMs in the few-shot and zero-shot settings. Given a claim-evidence pair, ProToCo generates multiple variants of the claim with different relations and frames a simple consistency mechanism as constraints for making compatible predictions across these variants. We update PLMs by using parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), leading to more accurate predictions in few-shot and zero-shot fact verification tasks. Our experiments on …

The 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19), with a point of origin in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly all over the world. It turned into a raging pandemic wrecking havoc on health care facilities, world economy and affecting everyone’s life to date. With every new variant, rate of transmission, spread of infections and the number of cases continues to rise at an international level and scale. There are limited reliable researches that study microdroplets spread and transmissions from human sneeze or cough in the airborne space. In this paper, we propose an intelligent technique to visualize, detect, measure the distance …

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D toxicity is rare in pediatric population. Falsely elevated levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D have been reported as a major challenge with immunoassay methods for quantifying vitamin D metabolites.
CASE PRESENTATION AND METHOD: Here, we present two pediatric cases of falsely elevated 25-hydroxyvitamin D that resulted in unnecessary further testing. We also report significant same-day variation in the measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D using the Abbott i2000SR immunoassay. Samples were spun twice and their values were confirmed with the gold standard liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for confirmation.
CONCLUSION: The addition of a centrifugation step prior to sample testing …

INTRODUCTION: Implementation of patient-centred care (PCC) practices in HIV treatment depends on healthcare workers' (HCWs) perceptions of the acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of such practices (e.g. use of intentional, metric-driven activities to improve patient experiences).
METHODS: We applied rapid, rigorous formative research methods to refine a PCC intervention for future trial. In 2018, we conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) with 46 HCWs purposefully selected from two pilot sites. We elicited HCW perceptions of HIV service delivery, HCW motivation and perceived value of patient experience measures intended to improve PCC. FGDs utilized participatory methods to understand HCW responses to patient-reported care …

The pediatric to adult healthcare transition (HCT) is a process for individuals with chronic health conditions to gradually shift from a pediatric to an adult-oriented care system. Autonomy and self-management skills required for an individual's HCT readiness can be evaluated through the transition readiness assessment questionnaire (TRAQ). Despite general HCT preparation guidelines, little is known about the HCT experience of individuals with a urea cycle disorder (UCD). This is the first study to report the parent or guardian perception of the HCT process in children with a UCD by investigating the stages of transition readiness and transition outcome. We identify …

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an impairing psychiatric condition affecting 1-2% of adults and youth. Cognitive-behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention (CBT) is an efficacious intervention but requires specialty training and access is often limited. While certain factors are associated with treatment access, one key barrier that has not been explored is the geographic availability of OCD treatment providers. Using integrated geographically-referenced data, we examined the geographic distribution of OCD CBT specialty providers across the state of Texas, with particular attention to the relationship to neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, insurance status, and rural versus urban status. We found that specialist providers are …

The Joint United Nations Program on human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) (Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS) has recommended 90-90-90 goals to increase the number of patients who are aware of their status, on antiretroviral therapy, and have undetectable viral loads. Mexico City has made several achievements to aid in prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment; however, the incidence of HIV has not decreased over the past decade. This article reviews global initiatives that were successful in achieving some or all these metrics and provide a road map for Mexico to reach the desired goals.

BACKGROUND: Each year, infertility affects 15% of couples worldwide, with 50% of cases attributed to men. Globozoospermia is an uncommon cause of male factor infertility, characterized by defects in sperm acrosome formation, leading to round-headed spermatozoa.
OBJECTIVE: We generated Pdcl2 knockout mice to investigate the essential roles of PDCL2 in mammalian reproduction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to demonstrate that PDCL2 was expressed exclusively in the male reproductive tract in mice and humans. We created Pdcl2 knockout mice using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and analyzed their fertility. Pdcl2 null spermatozoa underwent further evaluation using computer-assisted sperm analysis, …

Human cases of relapsing fever (RF) in North America are caused primarily by Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae, which are spread by argasid (soft) ticks, and by Borrelia miyamotoi, which is transmitted by ixodid (hard) ticks. In some regions of the United States, the ranges of the hard and soft tick RF species are known to overlap; in many areas, recorded ranges of RF spirochetes overlap with Lyme disease (LD) group Borrelia spirochetes. Identification of RF clusters or cases detected in unusual geographic localities might prompt public health agencies to investigate environmental exposures, enabling prevention of additional cases through locally …

T cell-mediated hyperinflammatory responses, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), are now well-established toxicities of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. As the field of CAR T cells advances, however, there is increasing recognition that hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-like toxicities following CAR T cell infusion are occurring broadly across patient populations and CAR T cell constructs. Importantly, these HLH-like toxicities are often not as directly associated with CRS and/or its severity as initially described. This emergent toxicity, however ill-defined, is associated with life-threatening complications, creating an urgent need for improved identification and optimal …

Aim: Antimalarial primaquine (PQ) eliminates liver hypnozoites of Plasmodium vivax. CYP2D6 gene variation contributes to PQ therapeutic failure. Additional gene variation may contribute to PQ efficacy. Information on pharmacogenomic variation in Madagascar, with vivax malaria and a unique population admixture, is scanty. Methods: The authors performed genome-wide genotyping of 55 Malagasy samples and analyzed data with a focus on a set of 28 pharmacogenes most relevant to PQ. Results: Mainly, the study identified 110 coding or splicing variants, including those that, based on previous studies in other populations, may be implicated in PQ response and copy number variation, specifically in …

BACKGROUND: Genomic regions identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for bladder cancer risk provide new insights into etiology.
OBJECTIVE: To identify new susceptibility variants for bladder cancer in a meta-analysis of new and existing genome-wide genotype data.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Data from 32 studies that includes 13,790 bladder cancer cases and 343,502 controls of European ancestry were used for meta-analysis.
OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSES: Log-additive associations of genetic variants were assessed using logistic regression models. A fixed-effects model was used for meta-analysis of the results. Stratified analyses were conducted to evaluate effect modification by sex and smoking status. …

Caesar’S Gambit: Coherence, Justification Of Legal Rules, And The Duty Test: Towards An Interactional Theory Of Government Liability For Negligence In Disaster Management, Irehobhude O. Iyioha
Dalhousie Law Journal
This article examines barriers posed by the duty of care test for government liability for negligence in disaster management. It argues that various aspects of the test raise concerns about coherence, legitimacy of judicial decision-making, and ultimately how we justify liability in tort law. In examining the coherence of the duty test through multiple prisms, including through theoretical justifications for tort principles, this article contends that the duty test, in its framing and interpretations, fails to meet the formal and substantive demands of coherence, correctness and legitimacy. Arguing that justificatory theories offer necessary theoretical lenses through which to understand, critique, …

Persons suffering from acute upper respiratory tract viral infections (URTI) commonly use over the counter (OTC) medicines to relieve symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, cough, runny nose, sore throat and nasal congestion. At present OTC medicines are only licensed for treatment of common cold and flu symptoms and not for treatment of the same symptoms associated with COVID-19. The innate immune response responsible for the mechanisms of the symptoms of URTI is the same for all respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and these symptoms can be relieved by treatment with the same OTC medicines as available for treatment of colds …
