Abstract:

Abstract Prediction of disease risk is an essential part of preventative medicine, often guiding clinical management. Risk prediction typically includes risk factors such as age, sex, family history of disease and lifestyle (e.g. smoking status); however, in recent years, there has been increasing interest to include genomic information into risk models. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) aggregate the effects of many genetic variants across the human genome into a single score and have recently been shown to have predictive value for multiple common diseases. In this review, we summarize the potenti

Measures of epistemic utility are used by formal epistemologists to make determinations of epistemic betterness among cognitive states. The Brier rule is the most popular choice (by far) among formal epistemologists for such a measure. In this paper, however, we show that the Brier rule is sometimes seriously wrong about whether one cognitive state is epistemically better than another. In particular, there are cases where an agent gets evidence that definitively eliminates a false hypothesis (and the probabilities assigned to the other hypotheses stay in the same ratios), but where the Brier r

The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) consists of eight common symptoms presented as visual analog scales ranging from 0 to 100mm. Patients score the ESAS independently where possible; the scores are summed to form an overall distress score and graphed to create a longitudinal visual representation of symptom burden. This study describes the use of the ESAS for patients with advanced cancer (n = 101) admitted to a palliative care unit in Edmonton, Canada. The ESAS was completed twice daily.

Abstract:

AbstractImmune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the standard of care for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). However, only a minority of patients respond, hence the search for predictive biomarkers. Potential predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitors discussed in this chapter include (1) Immune checkpoint ligand expression e.g., PD-L1, (2) biomarkers of a T-cell inflamed tumour microenvironment (TME) such as gene expression profiles of activated T cells, (3) biomarkers of tumour neoepitope burden such as tumour mutation burden (TMB) and (4) multidimensional quantitative techniques. At present only PD-L1 expression has been shown to have clinical utility in head and neck cancer. It enriches for populations more likely to respond, but the false positive predictive value remains high. In the pivotal Keynote−048 trial that established a role for pembrolizumab (anti-PD1) monotherapy and pembrolizumab + chemotherapy as treatment options in first-line R/M HNSCC, primary endpoints included overall survival in defined subgroups based on PD-L1 expression. In this trial the combined positive score (CPS) was used which takes into account PD-L1 expression in tumour and immune cells. Based on this trial regulatory approvals for first-line pembrolizumab in R/M HNSCC require assessment of PD-L1 expression using the CPS. Finally we discuss emerging evidence that locoregionally advanced HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers that have high expression of CD103 positive CD8 T cells have an excellent prognosis and features that suggest increased probability of responding to anti-PD1/PD-L1, raising the possibility of incorporating these immune therapies as part of a de-escalation trial strategy.

Abstract:

AbstractThe clinical utility of precision medicine through molecular characterization of tumors has been demonstrated in some malignancies, especially in cases where oncogenic driver alterations are identified. Next generation sequencing data from thousands of patients with head and neck cancers have provided vast amounts of information about the genomic landscape of this disease. Thus far, only a limited number of genomic alterations have been druggable, such as NTRK gene rearrangements in salivary gland cancers (mainly mammary analogue secretory carcinoma), NOTCH mutations in adenoid cystic cancers, HRAS mutations in head and neck squamous cell cancers, and even a smaller number of these have reached regulatory approval status. In order to expand the scope of precision medicine in head and neck cancer, additional evaluation beyond genomics is necessary. For instance, there is increasing interest to perform transcriptomic profiling for target identification. Another advance is in the area of functional testing such as small interfering RNA and drug libraries on patient derived cell cultures. Liquid biopsies to detect specific tumor clones or subclones, or viral sequences such as HPV, are of great interest to enable non-invasive tracking of response or resistance to treatment. In addition, precision immuno-oncology is a tangible goal, with a growing body of knowledge on the interactions between the host immunity, the tumor and its microenvironment. Immuno-oncology combinations that are tailored to immunophenotypes of the host-tumor-microenvironment triad, personalized cancer vaccines, and adoptive cell therapies, among others, are in active development. Many therapeutic possibilities and opportunities lie ahead that ultimately will increase the reality of precision medicine in head and neck cancer.

Abstract:

The clinical utility of a measure involves its ability to support a wide range of decisions that enhance its pragmatism and use. Although several statistics are part of this feature, one centerpiece of this concept is the ability of an instrument to provide cutoff scores that can accurately discriminate between groups that consist of patients and non-patients. This latter aspect leads to such concepts as sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios, accuracy, and receiver operating characteristic curves. This chapter addresses these topics from two perspectives. First, because these features of clinical utility are encompassed as a subfield of statistical decision theory, the authors provide a historical review that links null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), signal detection theory (SDT), and psychological testing. Second, a real-data approach is used to demonstrate these concepts. Additionally, a free software program was developed to present these concepts.

Abstract:

The decision to amputate rather than reconstruct a severely injured limb (‘mangled extremity’) has historically been one of the most difficult choices faced by a trauma surgeon. The surgeon’s responsibility is heightened by the knowledge that delayed or incorrect decision-making may lead to worse outcomes. Unfortunately, hard data upon which to base reliable decisions remain elusive. A prospective analysis of the use of scoring systems including the Limb Salvage Index, the Predictive Salvage Index, the Hanover Fracture Scale, and the NISSSA (Nerve injury, Ischaemia, Soft-tissue contamination, Skeletal damage, Shock, Age) and MESS (Mangled Extremity Severity Score) scores did not validate the clinical utility of any of the scoring algorithms.

Abstract:

This paper describes the implementation of a risk-based inspection program for process and utility steam lines in a large chemical process facility. The paper addresses the development of an RBI matrix, the likelihood attributes, the consequence scores, and the overall risk in terms of personnel safety and costs. The likelihood of failure considers prior experience, degradation mechanisms, novelty of process, abnormal loads and age. The consequence of failure considers public health and safety, worker health and safety, environmental impact, operations impact, and recovery costs. Once assigned

Abstract:

Methods: We used a Pareto chart to identify priority areas for our project based on magnitude of incidence of BBF exposures. A driver diagram was developed with four main primary drivers including risk awareness, attitudes and practice, staff experience, and leadership engagement. Intervention ramps and changes were implemented using multiple PDSA cycles addressing staff knowledge and awareness about BBF exposure prevention and management using surveys and learning brochures and assessment of staff compliance with safe practice. The project included the following measures (i) outcome measure:

Abstract:

Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased recently in Qatar. Body mass index (BMI) is a predictor of T2D in many populations. However, BMI is based on height and weight measurements and not on body adiposity. Therefore, the utility of BMI for predicting the risk of T2D has been questioned, and visceral adiposity (VAI) appears to be a better predictor of T2D. Objective: This study is aimed to assess the relative effectiveness of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and body adiposity index (BAI), in comparison with body mass index (BMI), for T2D among Qatari adults.

Abstract:

Background: Major depressive disorder is a common mental disorder. Many pressing questions regarding depression treatment and outcomes exist, and new, efficient research approaches are necessary to address them. The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and value of capturing the harmonized depression outcome measures in the clinical workflow and submitting these data to different registries. Secondary objectives include demonstrating the feasibility of using these data for patient-centered outcomes research and developing a toolkit to support registries intereste

Abstract:

In this report, we have evaluated the performance of nearly 40 global climate models (GCMs) participating in Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The focus is on the northern European area, but the ability to simulate southern European and global climate is discussed as well. Model evaluation was started with a technical control; completely unrealistic values in the GCM output files were identified by seeking the absolute minimum and maximum values. In this stage, one GCM was rejected totally, and furthermore individual output files from two other GCMs. In evaluating t
