Is the Combination of ADOS and ADI-R Necessary to Classify ASD? Rethinking the "Gold Standard" in Diagnosing ASD.

ABSTRACT: Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) requires extensive clinical expertise and training as well as a focus on differential diagnoses. The diagnostic process is particularly complex given symptom overlap with other mental disorders and high rates of co-occurring physical and mental health concerns. The aim of this study was to conduct a data-driven selection of the most relevant diagnostic information collected from a behavior observation and an anamnestic interview in two clinical samples of children/younger adolescents and adolescents/adults with suspected ASD. Via random forests, the present study discovered patterns of symptoms in the diagnostic data of 2310 participants (46% ASD, 54% non-ASD, age range 4-72 years) using data from the combined Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and ADOS data alone. Classifiers built on reduced subsets of diagnostic features yield satisfactory sensitivity and specificity values. For adolescents/adults specificity values were lower compared to those for children/younger adolescents. The models including ADOS and ADI-R data were mainly built on ADOS items and in the adolescent/adult sample the classifier including only ADOS items performed even better than the classifier including information from both instruments. Results suggest that reduced subsets of ADOS and ADI-R items may suffice to effectively differentiate ASD from other mental disorders. The imbalance of ADOS and ADI-R items included in the models leads to the assumption that, particularly in adolescents and adults, the ADI-R may play a lesser role than current behavior observations.

Patterns of autism symptoms: hidden structure in the ADOS and ADI-R instruments.

Project description:We simultaneously revisited the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) with a comprehensive data-analytics strategy. Here, the combination of pattern-analysis algorithms and extensive data resources (n?=?266 patients aged 7-49 years) allowed identifying coherent clinical constellations in and across ADI-R and ADOS assessments widespread in clinical practice. Our clustering approach revealed low- and high-severity patient groups, as well as a group scoring high only in the ADI-R domains, providing quantitative contours for the widely assumed autism subtypes. Sparse regression approaches uncovered the most clinically predictive questionnaire domains. The social and communication domains of the ADI-R showed convincing performance to predict the patients' symptom severity. Finally, we explored the relative importance of each of the ADI-R and ADOS domains conditioning on age, sex, and fluid IQ in our sample. The collective results suggest that (i) identifying autism subtypes and severity for a given individual may be most manifested in the ADI-R social and communication domains, (ii) the ADI-R might be a more appropriate tool to accurately capture symptom severity, and (iii) the ADOS domains were more relevant than the ADI-R domains to capture sex differences.

Eucapnic Voluntary Hyperpnea: Gold Standard for Diagnosing Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Athletes?

Project description:In athletes, a secure diagnos is of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is dependent on objective testing. Evaluating spirometric indices of airflow before and following an exercise bout is intuitively the optimal means for the diagnosis; however, this approach is recognized as having several key limitations. Accordingly, alternative indirect bronchoprovocation tests have been recommended as surrogate means for obtaining a diagnosis of EIB. Of these tests, it is often argued that the eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea (EVH) challenge represents the 'gold standard'. This article provides a state-of-the-art review of EVH, including an overview of the test methodology and its interpretation. We also address the performance of EVH against the other functional and clinical approaches commonly adopted for the diagnosis of EIB. The published evidence supports a key role for EVH in the diagnostic algorithm for EIB testing in athletes. However, its wide sensitivity and specificity and poor repeatability preclude EVH from being termed a 'gold standard' test for EIB.

Evaluating Sex and Age Differences in ADI-R and ADOS Scores in a Large European Multi-site Sample of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Project description:Research on sex-related differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been impeded by small samples. We pooled 28 datasets from 18 sites across nine European countries to examine sex differences in the ASD phenotype on the ADI-R (376 females, 1763 males) and ADOS (233 females, 1187 males). On the ADI-R, early childhood restricted and repetitive behaviours were lower in females than males, alongside comparable levels of social interaction and communication difficulties in females and males. Current ADI-R and ADOS scores showed no sex differences for ASD severity. There were lower socio-communicative symptoms in older compared to younger individuals. This large European ASD sample adds to the literature on sex and age variations of ASD symptomatology.

Replication and Comparison of the Newly Proposed ADOS-2, Module 4 Algorithm in ASD Without ID: A Multi-site Study.

Project description:Recent updates have been proposed to the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 Module 4 diagnostic algorithm. This new algorithm, however, has not yet been validated in an independent sample without intellectual disability (ID). This multi-site study compared the original and revised algorithms in individuals with ASD without ID. The revised algorithm demonstrated increased sensitivity, but lower specificity in the overall sample. Estimates were highest for females, individuals with a verbal IQ below 85 or above 115, and ages 16 and older. Best practice diagnostic procedures should include the Module 4 in conjunction with other assessment tools. Balancing needs for sensitivity and specificity depending on the purpose of assessment (e.g., clinical vs. research) and demographic characteristics mentioned above will enhance its utility.

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).

Rethinking the Combination of Proton Exchanger Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy.

Project description:Microenvironmental acidity is becoming a key target for the new age of cancer treatment. In fact, while cancer is characterized by genetic heterogeneity, extracellular acidity is a common phenotype of almost all cancers. To survive and proliferate under acidic conditions, tumor cells up-regulate proton exchangers and transporters (mainly V-ATPase, Na?/H? exchanger (NHE), monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), and carbonic anhydrases (CAs)), that actively extrude excess protons, avoiding intracellular accumulation of toxic molecules, thus becoming a sort of survival option with many similarities compared with unicellular microorganisms. These systems are also involved in the unresponsiveness or resistance to chemotherapy, leading to the protection of cancer cells from the vast majority of drugs, that when protonated in the acidic tumor microenvironment, do not enter into cancer cells. Indeed, as usually occurs in the progression versus malignancy, resistant tumor clones emerge and proliferate, following a transient initial response to a therapy, thus giving rise to more malignant behavior and rapid tumor progression. Recent studies are supporting the use of a cocktail of proton exchanger inhibitors as a new strategy against cancer.

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.

Gold Standard for macromolecular crystallography diffraction data.

Project description:Macromolecular crystallography (MX) is the dominant means of determining the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules. Over the last few decades, most MX data have been collected at synchrotron beamlines using a large number of different detectors produced by various manufacturers and taking advantage of various protocols and goniometries. These data came in their own formats: sometimes proprietary, sometimes open. The associated metadata rarely reached the degree of completeness required for data management according to Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) principles. Efforts to reuse old data by other investigators or even by the original investigators some time later were often frustrated. In the culmination of an effort dating back more than two decades, a large portion of the research community concerned with high data-rate macromolecular crystallography (HDRMX) has now agreed to an updated specification of data and metadata for diffraction images produced at synchrotron light sources and X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). This 'Gold Standard' will facilitate the processing of data sets independent of the facility at which they were collected and enable data archiving according to FAIR principles, with a particular focus on interoperability and reusability. This agreed standard builds on the NeXus/HDF5 NXmx application definition and the International Union of Crystallo-graphy (IUCr) imgCIF/CBF dictionary, and it is compatible with major data-processing programs and pipelines. Just as with the IUCr CBF/imgCIF standard from which it arose and to which it is tied, the NeXus/HDF5 NXmx Gold Standard application definition is intended to be applicable to all detectors used for crystallography, and all hardware and software developers in the field are encouraged to adopt and contribute to the standard.

Submandibular schwannoma: is excision a 'gold standard treatment'?

Project description:A 58-year-old man was referred to ear, nose and throat (ENT) with an 8-week history of painless right submandibular swelling with no history of weight loss, dysphagia or difficulty with mastication. On examination, there was enlargement of the right submandibular gland, which was diffuse, nodular and firm; but no calcification of the duct or cervical lymphadenopathy. ENT examination including fibreoptic laryngoscopy was normal. Fine-needle aspiration of the lump was inconclusive. Neck ultrasound scan showed a well-defined 3 cm × 3.8 cm × 4.3 cm heterogeneous mass with significant internal vascularity, anterior to the right submandibular gland. MRI (T2-weighted MRI) revealed a neurogenic tumour or a non-sarcomatous soft tissue lesion. Complete excision of the lump was performed by intracapsular dissection and the specimen was submitted for histology, which confirmed the diagnosis of 'Ancient schwannoma' of the submandibular gland. The management resulted in complete resolution of symptoms with no cranial nerve deficits.
