Abstract:
Technological innovations have produced large multi-modal datasets that include imaging and multi-platform genomics data. Integrative analyses of such data have the potential to reveal important biological and clinical insights into complex diseases like cancer. In this paper, we present Bayesian approaches for integrative analysis of radiological imaging and multi-platform genomic data, where-in our goals are to simultaneously identify genomic and radiomic, that is, radiology-based imaging markers, along with the latent associations between these two modalities, and to detect the overall prognostic relevance of the combined markers. For this task, we propose Radio-iBAG: Radiomics-based Integrative Bayesian Analysis of Multiplatform Genomic Data , a multi-scale Bayesian hierarchical model that involves several innovative strategies: it incorporates integrative analysis of multi-platform genomic data sets to capture fundamental biological relationships; explores the associations between radiomic markers accompanying genomic information with clinical outcomes; and detects genomic and radiomic markers associated with clinical prognosis. We also introduce the use of sparse Principal Component Analysis (sPCA) to extract a sparse set of approximately orthogonal meta-features each containing information from a set of related individual radiomic features, reducing dimensionality and combining like features. Our methods are motivated by and applied to The Cancer Genome Atlas glioblastoma multiforme data set, where-in we integrate magnetic resonance imaging-based biomarkers along with genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic data. Our model identifies important magnetic resonance imaging features and the associated genomic platforms that are related with patient survival times.

Excess tissue oxygenation should be avoided during neonatal resuscitation, especially in premature infants. Delivered oxygen concentrations when using a self-inflating bag (SIB) at oxygen flows <1 L/min remain to be established.

Low oxygen concentrations (30%– 40%) can be delivered with a SIB at an oxygen flow <1 L/min. A practical scheme has been developed correlating the oxygen flow rate and the corresponding delivered fraction of oxygen when using a neonatal SIB. (Read the full article)

Preterm neonates in resource-poor settings frequently develop hypothermia. Plastic bags or wraps are a low-cost intervention for the prevention of hypothermia in infants in developed countries.

For preterm infants born in a resource-poor health facility, placement in a plastic bag at birth can reduce the incidence of hypothermia at 1 hour after birth. (Read the full article)

Wrapping very preterm newborns in polyethylene bags in the delivery room reduces hypothermia on admission to the NICU, but many infants remain cold despite their use. Placing polyethylene-wrapped infants on exothermic mattresses may reduce hypothermia but increase hyperthermia.

Placing polyethylene-wrapped very preterm infants on exothermic mattresses in the delivery room results in more infants with abnormal temperature and more hyperthermia on admission to the NICU. (Read the full article)

Term neonates in resource-poor settings frequently develop hypothermia. Plastic bags or wraps are a low-cost intervention for the prevention of hypothermia in preterm and low birth weight infants that may also be effective in term infants.

For term neonates born in a resource-poor health facility, placement in a plastic bag at birth can reduce the incidence of hypothermia at 1 hour after birth. (Read the full article)
