Aims: There are currently no evidence-based guidelines for exercise after thoracic aortic dissection (TAD), leading to highly variable recommendations that frequently lead patients to restrict their physical activities. This multicenter randomized controlled trial was intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a moderate intensity guided exercise program for TAD survivors.

Methods: Participants were eligible if they had a Type A or Type B dissection at least 90 days before enrollment and could attend two in-person study visits. The guided exercise circuit consisted of six aerobic, isotonic, or isometric exercises that participants continued at home with virtual follow-up sessions. The …

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is the most common form of brain injury. While most individuals recover from mTBI, roughly 20% experience persistent symptoms, potentially including reduced fine motor control. We investigate relationships between regional white matter organization and subcortical volumes associated with performance on the Grooved Pegboard (GPB) test in a large cohort of military Service Members and Veterans (SM&Vs) with and without a history of mTBI(s). Participants were enrolled in the Long-term Impact of Military-relevant Brain Injury Consortium-Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium. SM&Vs with a history of mTBI(s) (n = 847) and without mTBI (n = …

Deep Filtered Back Projection For Ct Reconstruction, X I Tan, Xuan Liu, Kai Xiang, Jing Wang, Shan Tan

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Filtered back projection (FBP) is a classic analytical algorithm for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, with high computational efficiency. However, images reconstructed by FBP often suffer from excessive noise and artifacts. The original FBP algorithm uses a window function to smooth signals and a linear interpolation to estimate projection values at un-sampled locations. In this study, we propose a novel framework named DeepFBP in which an optimized filter and an optimized nonlinear interpolation operator are learned with neural networks. Specifically, the learned filter can be considered as the product of an optimized window function and the ramp filter, and the learned …

Registration Of Hyperspectral Images And Mass Spectrometry Data For The Correlation Of Tissue Optical Spectra And Molecular Profiles, Angie T Fei, Douglas W Strand, Jing Wang

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a label-free imaging modality that is emerging for non-invasive detection of various diseases including cancers. HSI provides high-resolution spatial images where each pixel has a spectral curve with numerous wavelength bands from the visible to infrared ranges. The rich spatial and spectral information can be used to discriminate various types of tissues and pathophysiological conditions. However, it can be difficult to explain spectral data with respect to the underline cellular and molecular mechanism. In this study, we developed an approach that registers hyperspectral images and mass spectrometry (MS) data where MS provides tissue molecular profiles. Human …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background and objectives: Advance care planning (ACP) conversations are important to provide goal-concordant care (i.e., the care that matches the patient's previously stated goals) near end of life. While 31% of older adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) have dementia, only 39% have previously had ACP conversations. We refined and piloted an ED-based, motivational interview designed to stimulate ACP conversations (ED GOAL) for patients living with cognitive impairment and their caregivers.

Research design and methods: We systematically refined ED GOAL and then conducted an acceptability study in an urban, academic medical center. We prospectively enrolled adults aged 50+ with …

Unicentric Castleman Disease: Illustration Of Its Morphologic Spectrum And Review Of The Differential Diagnosis, Siba El Hussein, Andrew G Evans, Hong Fang, Wei Wang, L Jeffrey Medeiros

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Context: Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is a dynamic entity with a wide spectrum of morphologic findings. UCD can be further subdivided into hyaline-vascular and mixed/plasmacytic variants. Hyaline-vascular UCD has both follicular and interfollicular (stromal) changes, and occasionally these lesions show a skewed representation of either the follicular or stromal compartments. Plasmacytosis is usually minimal in the hyaline-vascular variant. The mixed/plasmacytic variant of UCD is composed of sheets of plasma cells often associated with a variable number of follicles with regressive changes.

Objective: To illustrate the differential diagnosis of UCD, as it is quite broad and includes lymphomas, plasma cell neoplasms, …

Highly Variable Timing Renders Immunotherapy Efficacy And Toxicity Impractical Biomarkers Of One Another In Clinical Practice, Mitchell S Von Itzstein, Yuqiu Yang, Yiqing Wang, David Hsiehchen, Thomas Y Sheffield, Farjana Fattah, Vinita Popat, Murtaza Ahmed, Jade Homsi, Jonathan E Dowell, Sawsan Rashdan, Jay Lohrey, Hans J Hammers, Randall S Hughes, Tao Wang, Yang Xie, David E Gerber

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: A useful clinical biomarker requires not only association but also a consistent temporal relationship. For instance, chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and epidermal growth-factor inhibitor-related acneiform rash both occur within weeks of treatment initiation, thereby providing information prior to efficacy assessment. Although immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-associated immune-related adverse events (irAE) have been associated with therapeutic benefit, irAE may have delayed and highly variable onset. To determine whether ICI efficacy and irAE could serve as clinically useful biomarkers for predicting each other, we determined the temporal relationship between initial efficacy assessment and irAE onset in a diverse population treated with ICI.

Methods: Using …

During cancers and infections, self-renewing stem-like CD8+ T cells mediate the response of immunotherapies and replenish terminally exhausted T cells and effector-like T cells. However, the programs governing the lineage choice in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are unclear. Here, by simultaneously profiling single-cell chromatin accessibility and transcriptome in the same CAR T cells, we identified heterogeneous chromatin states within CD8+ T cell subsets that foreshadowed transcriptional changes and were primed for regulation by distinct transcription factors. Transcription factors that controlled each CD8+ T cell subset were regulated by high numbers of enhancers and positioned as hubs of gene …

An Image-Driven Micromechanical Approach To Characterize Multiscale Remodeling In Infarcted Myocardium, Emilio A Mendiola, Sunder Neelakantan, Qian Xiang, Shuda Xia, Jianyi Zhang, Vahid Serpooshan, Peter Vanderslice, Reza Avazmohammadi

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Myocardial infarction (MI) is accompanied by the formation of a fibrotic scar in the left ventricle (LV) and initiates significant alterations in the architecture and constituents of the LV free wall (LVFW). Previous studies have shown that LV adaptation is highly individual, indicating that the identification of remodeling mechanisms post-MI demands a fully subject-specific approach that can integrate a host of structural alterations at the fiber-level to changes in bulk biomechanical adaptation at the tissue-level. We present an image-driven micromechanical approach to characterize remodeling, assimilating new biaxial mechanical data, histological studies, and digital image correlation data within an in-silico framework …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a regulatory plan to reduce the nicotine content of cigarettes. This study examines the association of exposure to industry-sponsored corrective statements on perceptions of the addictiveness of low-nicotine cigarettes relative to typical cigarettes within the general US population.

Methods: The study comprised 4975 US adult respondents of the 2019 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5, Cycle 3). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine associations between exposure to tobacco industry corrective messages and perceptions of the addictiveness of low-nicotine cigarettes relative to typical cigarettes.

Results: In the …

Explainable Suicide Phenotyping From Initial Psychiatric Evaluation Notes Using Reasoning Large Language Models, Zehan Li, Wanjing Wang, Lokesh Shahani, Rodrigo M Vieira, Salih Selek, Jair Soares, Hongfang Liu, Ming Huang

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Clinical phenotyping is the process of extracting patient's observable symptoms and traits to better understand their disease condition. Suicide phenotyping focuses more on behavioral and cognitive characteristics, such as suicide ideation, attempt, and self-injury, to identify suicide risks and improve interventions. In this study, we leveraged the latest reasoning models, namely 4o, o1, and o3-mini, to perform note-level multi-label classification and reasoning generation tasks using previously annotated psychiatric evaluation notes from a safety-net psychiatric inpatient hospital in Harris County, Texas. Compared with the previously finetuned GPT-3.5 model, the out-of-box reasoning models prompted with in-context learning achieved comparable and better performance, …

Monet: A Database For Prediction Of Neoantigens Derived From Microsatellite Loci, Nan Deng, Krishna M Sinha, Eduardo Vilar

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) secondary to mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is characterized by insertions and deletions (indels) in short DNA sequences across the genome. These indels can generate neoantigens, which are ideal targets for precision immune interception. However, current neoantigen databases lack information on neoantigens arising from coding microsatellites. To address this gap, we introduce The MicrOsatellite Neoantigen Discovery Tool (MONET).

METHOD: MONET identifies potential mutated tumor-specific neoantigens (neoAgs) by predicting frameshift mutations in coding microsatellite sequences of the human genome. Then MONET annotates these neoAgs with key features such as binding affinity, stability, expression, frequency, and potential pathogenicity using …
