Furthermore, we summarize their representative applications from molecular level to genomics, pharmaceutical and healthcare systems level. Moreover, we provide open resource platforms and libraries for implementing these graph representation learning methods and discuss the challenges and opportunities of graph representation learning in bioinformatics. This work provides a comprehensive survey of emerging graph representation learning algorithms and their applications in bioinformatics. It is anticipated that it could bring valuable insights for researchers to contribute their knowledge to graph representation learning and future-oriented bioinformatics studies.Grady's Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program works to manage outpatient health concerns that otherwise burden EDs, improve quality of care, and connect patients to the appropriate level of care and resources. This prospective study collected data from 09/01/2019-03/31/2020 to analyze Grady's MIH response to low-acuity 911 calls compared to a traditional EMS (ACLS/BLS) response. A total of 2,759 EMS calls were reviewed. These calls comprised the four most common emergency medical dispatch codes for Grady's MIH response i) "sick person other pain," ii) "diabetic alert behaving normally," iii) "back pain," and iv) "falls." Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regressions (MLR) were performed to compare disposition differences between MIH and traditional EMS services in whether calls were mitigated on-scene or transported. For MIH responses (n=300), 66.1% were mitigated on-scene. Comparatively, for traditional EMS responses (n=263), 11.4% were mitigated on-scene. The MLR model found the odds that a patient was mitigated on-scene for an MIH response were 24 times that for an ACLS/BLS response (OR=24.19, p less then 0.001) after adjusting for patient sex, ethnicity, age, blood pressure, heart rate, pain response, glucose, time of day, and EMD code. The magnitude of the odds ratio significantly differed based on the dispatch code. The results of this study indicate that utilizing Grady's current MIH model is an effective way to mitigate low-acuity 911 concerns and decrease unnecessary ED utilization, while potentially reducing hospital readmissions and healthcare costs.
Very preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of childhood psychopathology and cognitive deficits. However, the extent to which these developmental problems associated with preterm birth are amenable to environmental factors or determined by neurobiology at birth remains unclear.
We derived neonatal brain structural covariance networks using non-negative matrix factorization in 384 very preterm infants (median gestational age [range], 30.29 [23.57-32.86] weeks) who underwent magnetic resonance imaging at term-equivalent age (median postmenstrual age, 42.57 [37.86-44.86] weeks). Principal component analysis was performed on 32 behavioral and cognitive measures assessed at preschool age (
= 206; median age, 4.65 [4.19-7.17] years) to identify components of childhood psychopathology and cognition. The Cognitively Stimulating Parenting Scale assessed the level of cognitively stimulating experiences available to the child at home.
Cognitively stimulating parenting was associated with reduced exprey observed in these children is sensitive to a cognitively stimulating home environment. Very preterm children may derive meaningful mental health benefits from access to cognitively stimulating experiences during childhood.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1016/j.jdin.2021.05.008.].Protocols for efficient capture of antigen-specific B cells (ASBCs) are useful for understanding pathogen-specific B-cell responses during natural infection or vaccination. Fluorescently labeled tetramerized probes are classically used to capture ASBCs, but many occlude valuable epitopes available for B-cell receptor binding. Here, we describe a bead assay to confirm ASBC receptor accessibility on probes and a sequential staining process to capture HIV gp140-specific B cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Townsley et al. (2021).Several mouse in vivo neuronal recording techniques require head fixation. Head-fixed treadmill walking can be used to design tasks that enable the study of neural activity in the context of behavior. Here, we provide a detailed protocol for constructing a treadmill with tactile spatial cues, training mice on a rewarded behavioral task, and analyzing behavioral data. We discuss common problems and solutions we have developed to optimize training. Finally, we demonstrate how to test spatial memory performance using this task.Changes in mitochondrial size, shape, and subcellular position, a process collectively known as mitochondrial dynamics, are exploited for various cancer traits. Modulation of subcellular mitochondrial trafficking and accumulation at the cortical cytoskeleton has been linked to the machinery of cell movements, fueling cell invasion and metastatic spreading. Here, we detail a technique to track changes in mitochondrial volume using a commercial CellLight™ Mitochondria-RFP/GFP reporter and live confocal microscopy. This allows a real-time study of mitochondrial dynamics in live cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bertolini et al. (2020).Orthostatic hypotension is common and dangerous; it has neurogenic and nonneurogenic causes. We present the case of a 40-year-old man with severe neurogenic hypotension, caused by young-onset multiple system atrophy. In patients presenting with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, underlying neurodegenerative diseases should always be considered. (Level of Difficulty Advanced.).We describe the case of a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with concomitant apical aneurysm. We measured the aneurysmal cavity pressure using the pressure guidewire system. The patient underwent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator treatment successfully to reduce the pressure gradient between the aneurysmal cavity and the true left ventricle. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).We describe a zero-fluoroscopy ablation of a left atrial re-entry tachycardia in a patient with a previous atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. The critical isthmus was demonstrated to use an epicardial connection via the ligament of Marshall after failed endocardial and epicardial ablation along the mitral isthmus line. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).A pacemaker generator change for a frail woman was performed with a direct oral anticoagulant. After the procedure, a hematoma was exposed. Stopping direct oral anticoagulants in frail patients should be considered before the procedure. (Level of Difficulty Beginner.).An increasing proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation are undergoing implantation with hypoglossal nerve stimulators for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. We present a case of hypoglossal nerve stimulator-associated neurapraxia following electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. (Level of Difficulty Advanced.).Intramural septal substrate presents a challenge in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation, in terms of both accurate mapping and ablation with unipolar radiofrequency energy. We present the first use of the novel 2-F octapolar catheter in accurately defining intramural septal scar and facilitating bipolar ablation. (Level of Difficulty Advanced.).Pulmonary cement embolism is a well-described complication of cement vertebroplasty (1,2). We describe the case of a patient with acute cement embolism during catheter insertion for attempted pulmonary vein isolation 1 month after cement vertebroplasty. We discuss the mechanism of acute cement embolism, possible sequelae, and treatment considerations. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).We report a case series of 4 patients with transient marked QTc prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of inflammation with very high ferritin levels. Three patients were positive for coronavirus disease-2019. In the setting of an acute rise in inflammatory markers, electrocardiography screening for QTc prolongation is warranted. (Level of Difficulty Beginner.).A 58-year-old woman with nonischemic cardiomyopathy underwent an ablation for refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF). In addition to elimination of the premature ventricular contraction triggering VF, substrate ablation entailed elimination of dormant Purkinje potentials, which were unmasked in regions where local pacing revealed a narrow QRS with stimulus QRS latency. VF trigger and abnormal Purkinje ablation completely eliminated the refractory VF. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman presenting with heart failure, a degenerating bioprosthetic mitral valve, and severely dilated left atrium, and highlight the role of multimodality imaging in planning transseptal transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation. (Level of Difficulty Advanced.).Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital defect that leads to various hemodynamic complications if untreated. Transcatheter closure (TCC) of isolated secundum ASD is the preferred treatment. Herein we describe a unique malaligned ASD secondary to a membranous chord. With balloon sizing and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), TCC was successfully pursued. Smad3 signaling (Level of Difficulty Beginner.).A 65-year-old immunocompromised woman presented with progressive dyspnea and sacroiliac joint pain. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed abnormal right ventricular filling with septal bounce and abnormal pericardial enhancement, suggestive of constrictive pericarditis. Cultures from pericardium following pericardiectomy grew Coccidioides immitis. She was diagnosed with coccidioidomycosis and responded to pericardiectomy and amphotericin. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).Recurrent chylopericardium after cardiac surgery is a rare entity. This paper presents the case of a 69-year-old female who developed a large recurrent chylopericardium related to surgical myectomy and resection of sub-aortic membrane for hypertrophic sub-valvular aortic stenosis. Treatment required pericardiocentesis followed by lymphangiogram with glue embolization of the lymphatic leak. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is an often fatal complication of cardiac transplantation that occurs in 2% to 6% of transplant recipients. We report a case in which PTLD led to pulmonary artery external compression and multimodality imaging showed key features in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).Chest pain in young adults is not always benign, and clinical suspicion should prompt further investigations. Multimodal imaging with computed tomography coronary angiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance can be used to identify anomalous coronary arteries, determine adverse imaging features, and guide subsequent clinical decision making. (Level of Difficulty Beginner.).We present the case of a symptomatic young woman with mitral stenosis and regurgitation due to a congenital mitral arcade. Multimodality imaging with echocardiography and computed tomography were used for diagnosis and surgical planning. The patient underwent successful bioprosthetic valve replacement. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
