Virtual Dissection: Emerging as the Gold Standard of Analyzing Living Heart Anatomy.

ABSTRACT: Traditionally, gross cardiac anatomy has been described mainly based on the findings in the dissection suite. Analyses of heart specimens have contributed immensely towards building a fundamental knowledge of cardiac anatomy. However, there are limitations in analyzing the autopsied heart removed from the thorax. Three-dimensional imaging allows visualization of the blood-filled heart in vivo in attitudinally appropriate fashion. This is of paramount importance for not only demonstration of cardiac anatomy for educational purposes, but also for the detailed anatomical evaluation in patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. In this review, we discuss the advantages of three-dimensional imaging, specifically focusing on virtual dissection, a volume rendering-based reconstruction technique using computed tomographic data. We highlight examples of three-dimensional imaging in both education and guiding patient management.

Aortic arch aneurysms and dissection-open repair is the gold standard.

Project description:The aortic arch repair is one of the most complex surgeries and carries a high risk of complications as well as mortality. Since 1975, when the arch repair was first done by Randall B. Griepp using hypothermic circulatory arrest, many new technologies were introduced. But even with the use of antegrade and retrograde perfusion techniques and improvement of surgical techniques and grafts, the rate of mortality, cerebral, spinal, and visceral damage was much higher as compared to any other cardiac surgeries. With further developments aimed at less invasive approaches, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) along with de-branching of supra-aortic vessels or the frozen elephant trunk was introduced. Here, in this article, we review the myriad of approaches to the aortic arch and have come to a conclusion that while traditional open surgery is considered as the gold standard for treatment of extensive aortic arch pathologies, one school of thought suggests hybrid techniques such as the frozen elephant trunk and aortic arch vessel de-branching as more appropriate procedures for high-risk patients, where co-morbidities may contraindicate cardiopulmonary bypass and longer operative times required for traditional repair. No randomized trials are present to compare between open and hybrid or endovascular procedure in normal or high-risk patients. The meta-analysis of most of the studies defines open surgery as the gold standard for arch pathology because the hybrid procedures did not provide any proven survival benefits or decrease in stroke rate and spinal ischemia when compared to open surgery in early, mid, or long-term results.

The additional role of virtual to traditional dissection in teaching anatomy: a randomised controlled trial.

Project description:IntroductionAnatomy has traditionally been taught via dissection and didactic lectures. The rising prevalence of informatics plays an increasingly important role in medical education. It is hypothesized that virtual dissection can express added value to the traditional one.MethodsSecond-year medical students were randomised to study anatomical structures by virtual dissection (intervention) or textbooks (controls), according to the CONSORT guidelines. Subsequently, they applied to the corresponding gross dissection, with a final test on their anatomical knowledge. Univariate analysis and multivariable binary logistic regression were performed.ResultsThe rate of completed tests was 76.7%. Better overall test performance was detected for the group that applied to the virtual dissection (OR 3.75 with 95% CI 0.91-15.49; p = 0.06). A comparable performance between groups in basic anatomical knowledge (p 0.45 to 0.92) but not muscles and 2D-3D reporting of anatomical structures was found, for which the virtual dissection was of tendential benefit (p 0.08 to 0.13). Medical students who applied to the virtual dissection were over three times more likely to report a positive outcome at the post-dissection test than those who applied to textbooks of topographical anatomy. This would be of benefit with particular reference to the understanding of 2D-3D spatial relationships between anatomical structures.ConclusionThe combination of virtual to traditional gross dissection resulted in a significant improvement of second-year medical students' learning outcomes. It could be of help in maximizing the impact of practical dissection, overcoming the contraction of economic resources, and the shortage of available bodies.

Human Dissection in Medical Education: More than Just Anatomy.

Project description:The dissection course is an essential component of the medical curriculum. Nonetheless, the time expenditure and intensity of supervising the students in this course has been diminishing since the 1970s. That endangers not only the transmission of fundamental knowledge of anatomy. It also concerns key concepts such as establishing values, the concept of humans, and physician competencies, because medical education must be seen not merely as fact-directed instruction but instead should be connected with a mission for professional acculturation.

Peer-Assisted Learning in a Gross Anatomy Dissection Course.

Project description:Peer-assisted learning encourages students to participate more actively in the dissection process and promotes thoughtful dissection. We implemented peer-assisted dissection in 2012 and compared its effects on students' self-assessments of learning and their academic achievement with those of faculty-led dissection. All subjects performed dissections after a lecture about upper-limb gross anatomy. Experimental group (n = 134) dissected a cadaver while guided by peer tutors who had prepared for the dissection in advance, and control group (n = 71) dissected a cadaver after the introduction by a faculty via prosection. Self-assessment scores regarding the learning objectives related to upper limbs were significantly higher in experimental group than in control group. Additionally, experimental group received significantly higher academic scores than did control group. The students in peer-assisted learning perceived themselves as having a better understanding of course content and achieved better academic results compared with those who participated in faculty-led dissection. Peer-assisted dissection contributed to self-perception and to the ability to retain and explain anatomical knowledge.

pyQms - partial labeled proteome gold standard

Project description:" The novel mass spectrometry quantitation tool pyQms can calculate isotope patterns for molecules that have any isotope enrichment or combinations of, e.g. 13C or 15N and allows partially labeled molecules to be quantified as well, as observed in pulse or pulse-chase experiments where enrichment levels change dynamically. In order to test how pyQms performs on such a task, we created a gold standard (GS) data set of partially labeled proteomes, which allows evaluation of algorithms detecting partial labeld isotopologues against the ground truth against 5 mixed samples. Cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were grown on medium containing 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% 15N. Since partially labeled peptides will not produce interpretable fragmentation spectra, each of the partially labeled proteomes were mixed with an unlabeled (14N) or fully labeled (15N) proteome, yielding 5 mixed samples (0|100, 20|100, 40|100, 0|60 and 0|80).

GOLD standard dataset for Alzheimer genes.

Project description:Alzheimer disease is a genetically complex multigenic neurodegenerative disorder, resulting from the interaction between multiple genes. Most of the earlier studies reported only few specific genes that have involvement in Alzheimer. However more than hundreds of susceptible genes have been observed, that have significant role in the development and progression of Alzheimer. Among all the existing data resources, Genetic association database is the most popular data source that contains information about genes, their association classes into positive, negative and neutral class and supporting reference. However, it contains lot of false positives and negatives associations. We have taken this data as reference and performed the double fold cross validation to compile the comprehensive list of Alzheimer genes, their association class viz, positive, negative or ambiguous with the disease and reference sentence confirming the association. The data generated will be used as a GOLD standard reference data set for the training of machine learning classifier to predict the classification of published literature not only in Alzheimer but in other diseases as well. In addition, positive associated genes data can also be used for the system level modelling or meta analysis of Alzheimer.

Silver: Forging almost Gold Standard Datasets.

Project description:Gene set analysis has been widely used to gain insight from high-throughput expression studies. Although various tools and methods have been developed for gene set analysis, there is no consensus among researchers regarding best practice(s). Most often, evaluation studies have reported contradictory recommendations of which methods are superior. Therefore, an unbiased quantitative framework for evaluations of gene set analysis methods will be valuable. Such a framework requires gene expression datasets where enrichment status of gene sets is known a priori. In the absence of such gold standard datasets, artificial datasets are commonly used for evaluations of gene set analysis methods; however, they often rely on oversimplifying assumptions that make them biased in favor of or against a given method. In this paper, we propose a quantitative framework for evaluation of gene set analysis methods by synthesizing expression datasets using real data, without relying on oversimplifying or unrealistic assumptions, while preserving complex gene-gene correlations and retaining the distribution of expression values. The utility of the quantitative approach is shown by evaluating ten widely used gene set analysis methods. An implementation of the proposed method is publicly available. We suggest using Silver to evaluate existing and new gene set analysis methods. Evaluation using Silver provides a better understanding of current methods and can aid in the development of gene set analysis methods to achieve higher specificity without sacrificing sensitivity.

Smartwatch-derived heart rate variability: a head-to-head comparison with the gold standard in cardiovascular disease.

Project description:AimsWe aimed to investigate the concordance between heart rate variability (HRV) derived from the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal of a commercially available smartwatch compared with the gold-standard high-resolution electrocardiogram (ECG)-derived HRV in patients with cardiovascular disease.Methods and resultsWe prospectively enrolled 104 survivors of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, 129 patients after an ischaemic stroke, and 30 controls. All subjects underwent simultaneous recording of a smartwatch (Garmin vivoactive 4; Garmin Ltd, Olathe, KS, USA)-derived PPG signal and a high-resolution (1000 Hz) ECG for 30 min under standardized conditions. HRV measures in time and frequency domain, non-linear measures, as well as deceleration capacity (DC) were calculated according to previously published technologies from both signals. Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (ρc) between smartwatch-derived and ECG-based HRV markers was used as a measure of diagnostic accuracy. A very high concordance within the whole study cohort was observed for the mean heart rate (ρc = 0.9998), standard deviation of the averages of normal-to-normal (NN) intervals in all 5min segments (SDANN; ρc = 0.9617), and very low frequency power (VLF power; ρc = 0.9613). In contrast, detrended fluctuation analysis (DF-α1; ρc = 0.5919) and the square mean root of the sum of squares of adjacent NN-interval differences (rMSSD; ρc = 0.6617) showed only moderate concordance.ConclusionSmartwatch-derived HRV provides a practical alternative with excellent accuracy compared with ECG-based HRV for global markers and those characterizing lower frequency components. However, caution is warranted with HRV markers that predominantly assess short-term variability.
