    Abstract The runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) regulates the differentiation of monocytes and their response to inflammation. However, the transcriptomic context of RUNX3 expression in blood monocytes remains poorly understood. We aim to learn about RUNX3 from its relationships within transcriptomes of bulk CD14+ cells in adults. This study used immunomagnetically sorted CD14+ cell gene expression microarray data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA, n = 1202, GSE56047) and the Correlated Expression and Disease Association Research (CEDAR, n = 281, E-MTAB-6667) cohorts. The data were preprocessed, subjected to RUNX3 -focused correlation analyses and random forest modeling, followed by the gene ontology analysis. Immunity-focused differential ratio analysis with intermediary inference (DRAIMI) was used to integrate the data with protein–protein interaction network. Correlation analysis of RUNX3 expression revealed the strongest positive association for EVL (r mean = 0.75, p FDR-MESA = 5.37 × 10 −140 , p FDR-CEDAR = 5.52 × 10 −80 ), ARHGAP17 (r mean = 0.74, p FDR-MESA = 1.13 × 10 −169 , p FDR-CEDAR = 9.20 × 10 −59 ), DNMT1 (r mean = 0.74, p FDR-MESA = 1.10 × 10 −169 , p FDR-CEDAR = 1.67 × 10 −58 ), and CLEC16A (r mean = 0.72, p FDR-MESA = 3.51 × 10 −154 , p FDR-CEDAR = 2.27 × 10 −55 ), while the top negative correlates were C2ORF76 (r mean = −0.57, p FDR-MESA = 8.70 × 10 −94 , p FDR-CEDAR = 1.31 × 10 −25 ) and TBC1D7 (r mean = −0.55, p FDR-MESA = 1.36 × 10 −69 , p FDR-CEDAR = 7.81 × 10 −30 ). The RUNX3 -associated transcriptome signature was involved in mRNA metabolism, signal transduction, and the organization of cytoskeleton, chromosomes, and chromatin, which may all accompany mitosis. Transcriptomic context of RUNX3 expression in monocytes hints at its relationship with cell growth, shape maintenance, and aspects of the immune response, including tyrosine kinases.

    Abstract We evaluated the prevalence of systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related autoantibodies and their clinical significance and compared the sensitivity of two line immunoblot assays on a prospective study group of 96 Polish SSc patients (ACR-EULAR 2013 criteria) whose sera were assessed by indirect immunofluorescence (HEp-2 and monkey liver) and line immunoblot assays: ANA Profile 3 and Systemic Sclerosis Profile by EUROIMMUN (Lübeck, Germany). Organ involvement was evaluated according to the EUSTAR Minimal Essential Data Set. The following autoantibodies’ prevalence was found: Scl-70 (36%), Ro-52 (28%), CENP-B (22%), CENP-A (20%), PM-Scl-75 (20%), PM-Scl-100 (14%), fibrillarin (7%), Th/To (7%), RNA polymerase III 11 kDa (5%), RNA polymerase III 155 kDa (3%), PDGFR (3%), NOR-90 (2%), and Ku (1%). Significant associations between the autoantibodies’ presence and organ involvement were found: ATA (dcSSc > lcSSc, less prevalent muscle weakness), Ro-52 (gangrene, DLCO < 60), CENP-B and A (lcSSc > dcSSc, normal CK), CENP-B (rarer digital ulcers and joint contractures), PM-Scl-100 and 75 (PM/SSc overlap, CK increase, muscle weakness, muscle atrophy), PM-Scl-100 (dcSSc unlikely), PM-Scl-75 (lung fibrosis), fibrillarin (muscle atrophy, proteinuria, conduction blocks, palpitations), Th/To (proteinuria, arthritis, muscle weakness, and rarer esophageal symptoms), RNA Polymerase III 11 kDa (arterial hypertension, renal crisis), RNA polymerase III 155 kDa (renal crisis), and PDGFR (dcSSc, tendon friction rubs). Additionally, the Systemic Sclerosis Profile was significantly more sensitive in detecting SSc-related autoantibodies than ANA Profile 3 (p = 0.002). In conclusion, individual autoantibodies associated with specific characteristics of SSc.

    Abstract Twitter has considerable capacity for health education and proves to be an efficient and accessible communication tool in the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Although many stakeholders saturate Twitter with COVID-19-related information, it remains unknown who disseminates information most efficaciously. COVID-19-related tweets were obtained from Twitter accounts of health agencies, governmental authorities, universities, scientific journals, medical associations, and celebrities. Posts' impact was measured with the nominal and relative (%followers) number of likes and retweets. A sentiment analysis was conducted.We have identified 17,331 COVID-19-related tweets posted by 338 accounts in >4 months since the virus began to spread. The largest number of likes was received by tweets of celebrities (median nominal, relative likes; 14,918, 0.036 percent), politicians (259, 0.174 percent), and health agencies (231, 0.007 percent). Most retweeted messages were also posted by celebrities (2,366, 0.005 percent), health agencies (130, 0.004 percent), and politicians (55, 0.041 percent). Retweets and likes peaked in March 2020, and the overall sentiment of the tweets was growing steadily. Whereas celebrities and politicians posted positive messages, the scientific and health authorities often employed a negative vocabulary. The posts with positive sentiment gained more likes and relative likes than nonpositive. During the pandemic, the tweets of celebrities and politicians related to COVID-19 outperform those coming from health and scientific institutions. Active engagement of Twitter influencers may help key messages go viral.

    Abstract Due to the difficulties in retrieving both the time-dependent shapes of the vessels and the generation of numerical meshes for such cases, most of the simulations of blood flow in the cardiac arteries use static geometry. The article describes a methodology for generating a sequence of time-dependent 3D shapes based on images of different resolutions and qualities acquired from ECG-gated coronary artery CT angiography. The precision of the shape restoration method has been validated using an independent technique. The original proposed approach also generates for each of the retrieved vessel shapes a numerical mesh of the same topology (connectivity matrix), greatly simplifying the CFD blood flow simulations. This feature is of significant importance in practical CFD simulations, as it gives the possibility of using the mesh-morphing utility, minimizing the computation time and the need of interpolation between boundary meshes at subsequent time instants. The developed technique can be applied to generate numerical meshes in arteries and other organs whose shapes change over time. It is applicable to medical images produced by other than angio-CT modalities.

    Abstract Despite technological progress, we lack a consensus on the method of conducting automated bowel sound (BS) analysis and, consequently, BS tools have not become available to doctors. We aimed to briefly review the literature on BS recording and analysis, with an emphasis on the broad range of analytical approaches. Scientific journals and conference materials were researched with a specific set of terms (Scopus, MEDLINE, IEEE) to find reports on BS. The research articles identified were analyzed in the context of main research directions at a number of centers globally. Automated BS analysis methods were already well developed by the early 2000s. Accuracy of 90% and higher had been achieved with various analytical approaches, including wavelet transformations, multi-layer perceptrons, independent component analysis and autoregressive-moving-average models. Clinical research on BS has exposed their important potential in the non-invasive diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, in surgery, and for the investigation of gastrointestinal motility. The most recent advances are linked to the application of artificial intelligence and the development of dedicated BS devices. BS research is technologically mature, but lacks uniform methodology, an international forum for discussion and an open platform for data exchange. A common ground is needed as a starting point. The next key development will be the release of freely available benchmark datasets with labels confirmed by human experts.

    Abstract Automated bowel sound (BS) analysis methods were already well developed by the early 2000s. Accuracy of ~90% had been achieved by several teams using various analytical approaches. Clinical research on BS had revealed their high potential in the non-invasive investigation of irritable bowel syndrome to study gastrointestinal motility and in a surgical setting. This article proposes a novel methodology for the analysis of BS using hybrid convolutional and recursive neural networks. It is one of the first methods of using deep learning to be widely explored. We have developed an experimental pipeline and evaluated our results with a new dataset collected using a device with a dedicated contact microphone. Data have been collected at night-time, which is the most interesting period from a neurogastroenterological point of view. Previous works had ignored this period and instead kept brief records only during the day. Our algorithm can detect bowel sounds with an accuracy >93%. Moreover, we have achieved a very high specificity (>97%), crucial in diagnosis. The results have been checked with a medical professional, and they successfully support clinical diagnosis. We have developed a client-server system allowing medical practitioners to upload the recordings from their patients and have them analyzed online. This system is available online. Although BS research is technologically mature, it still lacks a uniform methodology, an international forum for discussion, and an open platform for data exchange, and therefore it is not commonly used. Our server could provide a starting point for establishing a common framework in BS research.
