CIRCULATING tumor DNA ,TECHNOLOGICAL innovations ,POLYMERASE chain reaction ,TUMORS - Abstract
Emerging technologies focused on the detection and quantification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood show extensive potential for managing patient treatment decisions, informing risk of recurrence, and predicting response to therapy. Currently available tissue-informed approaches are often limited by the need for additional sequencing of normal tissue or peripheral mononuclear cells to identify non-tumor-derived alterations while tissue-naïve approaches are often limited in sensitivity. Here we present the analytical validation for a novel ctDNA monitoring assay, FoundationOne®Tracker. The assay utilizes somatic alterations from comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of tumor tissue. A novel algorithm identifies monitorable alterations with a high probability of being somatic and computationally filters non-tumor-derived alterations such as germline or clonal hematopoiesis variants without the need for sequencing of additional samples. Monitorable alterations identified from tissue CGP are then quantified in blood using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay based on the validated Signatera
TM assay. The analytical specificity of the plasma workflow is shown to be 99.6% at the sample level. Analytical sensitivity is shown to be >97.3% at ≥5 mean tumor molecules per mL of plasma (MTM/mL) when tested with the most conservative configuration using only two monitorable alterations. The assay also demonstrates high analytical accuracy when compared to liquid biopsy-based CGP as well as high qualitative (measured 100% PPA) and quantitative precision (<11.2% coefficient of variation).

The early detection of relapse following primary surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer and the characterization of emerging subclones, which seed metastatic sites, might offer new therapeutic approaches for limiting tumour recurrence. The ability to track the evolutionary dynamics of early-stage lung cancer non-invasively in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has not yet been demonstrated. Here we use a tumour-specific phylogenetic approach to profile the ctDNA of the first 100 TRACERx (Tracking Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Evolution Through Therapy (Rx)) study participants, including one patient who was also recruited to the PEACE (Posthumous Evaluation of Advanced Cancer Environment) post-mortem study. We identify independent predictors of ctDNA release and analyse the tumour-volume detection limit. Through blinded profiling of postoperative plasma, we observe evidence of adjuvant chemotherapy resistance and identify patients who are very likely to experience recurrence of their lung cancer. Finally, we show that phylogenetic ctDNA profiling tracks the subclonal nature of lung cancer relapse and metastasis, providing a new approach for ctDNA-driven therapeutic studies., Author(s): Christopher Abbosh [1]; Nicolai J.

GAMIFICATION ,HIGHER education administration ,STUDENT attitudes ,ONLINE education ,COVID-19 pandemic - Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many universities to move to online learning to sustain students' education. Today's Students are digital natives. They grew up with digital technologies and have different learning styles, new attitude to the learning process and higher requirements for teaching and learning. Indeed, there is a need to develop new e-learning models that transform education to sustain goals and achieve education's objectives. Modern pedagogical paradigms and trends in education, reinforced by the use of ICT, create prerequisites for use of new approaches and techniques in order to implement active learning. Gamification is one of these trends as applying gamification in a non-gaming environment motivates students and also keeps them engaged in learning. The purpose of this research is to empirically investigate gamification intention to use in E-learning through student attitude in the Egyptian Private Higher Education Institutions (HIEs). This study proposes to integrate the personal characteristics including the dimensions (computer anxiety, enjoyment, self-efficacy) which extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) including dimensions (Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use). The objectives of this research are: to examine how gamification affects intention to use in E-learning, to identify how gamification affects student's attitude, to investigate how student's attitude affects intention to use gamification. Data in this study came from a survey of 4.3 acceptable responses. the results were analysed employing by Structural Equation Modeling technique (SEM) using Analysis Moment of Structures (AMOS) software. The main conclusions drawn from this study are: the direct effect between gamifications and intention to use gamification in E-learning is statistically significant, the direct effect between gamification and student's attitude towards gamification is statistically significant, the direct effect between student's attitude towards gamification and intention to use gamification in E-learning is statistically significant, and finally, student's attitude mediates the relationship between gamification and intention to use Egyptian higher education institutions.

Internet of Things (IoT) presents a new life style by developing smart homes, smart grids, smart city, smart transportation, etc., so IoT is developing rapidly. However recent researches focus on developing the IoT applications disregarding the IoT spectrum scarcity problem facing it. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs), forming Cognitive Radio Internet of Things (CRIoTs), is an economical solution for overcoming the IoT spectrum scarcity. The aim of this thesis is to solve the problem of spectrum sharing for CRIoT; the work in thesis is presented in three parts, each represents a contribution. Our first contribution is to propose two new protocols to solve the problem of channel status prediction for interweave CRNs. Both protocols use Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In the training stage of both protocols, the available data are trained to produce two HMM models, an idle HMM model and a busy one. Both models are used together to produce the 2-model HMM. In the prediction stage the first protocol uses Bayes theorem and the 2-model HMM, while the second protocol uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) employing the parameters produced from applying the 2-model HMM, named 2-model HMM-SVM. The 2-model HMM-SVM outperforms the classical HMM and 2-model HMM in terms of the true percentage, the inaccuracy and the probability of primary users’ collision (false negative prediction). In our second contribution, we proposed a centralized time slotted packet scheduling protocol for CRIoTs. It uses Discrete Permutation Particle Swarm Optimization (DP-PSO) for scheduling the IoT device packets among the free slots obtained from applying cognitive radio networks' channel estimation technique proposed in the first part. Our proposed protocol is applied to smart healthcare facility. Configuring three main building blocks for the used application architecture; the IoT devices block, the first layer fog nodes block and the central fog server. Each group of IoT devices is connected to a fog node, the entire fog nodes in the system are connected to the central fog node. The proposed protocol is named Scheduling based-on Discrete Permutation Particle Swarm Optimization (SDP-PSO). An objective fitness function is formulated with three parameters; maximizing the fairness index among fog nodes, minimizing the packets' queuing delay and minimizing the number of dropped packets that exceeded their allowed time in the network without being sent. The performance of the proposed SDP-PSO protocol overcomes an old protocol named spectrum auction in terms of the fairness between fog nodes, the average queuing delay, the number of dropped packets and the time and the space complexity. Finally, in the third contribution, we proposed a distributed packets' scheduling protocol for CRIoTs. Our proposed protocol can be applied to an urban traffic control. The configured system in this part consists of three main building blocks; the IoT devices block, the first fog layer block (Road Side Units (RSUs)) and the second fog layer block. Each group of IoT devices is connected to a RSU, each group of RSU are connected to a fog node which acts as their cluster head. The fog nodes are connected together forming a partial mesh network. The proposed distributed packets' scheduling protocol for CRIoTs is applying three distributed access strategies together with the SDP-PSO proposed in the second part to schedule the packets on the estimated free slots resulted from applying the protocol proposed in the first part. The used access strategies are the classical round robin, in addition to two proposed ones named; the vertex cover and the enhanced round robin. An objective fitness function near similar to that used in the centralized protocol, was applied but with some differences to make it suitable for distributed scheduling., L'Internet des objets (IoT) présente un nouveau style de vie en développant des maisons intelligentes, des réseaux intelligents, des villes intelligentes, des transports intelligents… etc., alors l'IoT se développe rapidement. Cependant, des recherches récentes se concentrent sur le développement des applications IoT sans tenir compte du problème de rareté du spectre IoT ont recontrant. L'intégration de la technologie de l'Internet des objets (IoT) et des réseaux radio cognitifs (CRN), formant l'Internet des objets par radio cognitive (CRIoT), est une solution économique pour battre la rareté du spectre IoT. Le but de cette thèse est de résoudre le problème du partage du spectre pour CRIoT; le travail en thèse est présenté en trois parties.Notre première contribution est de proposer deux nouveaux protocoles pour résoudre le problème de la prédiction de l'état des canaux pour les CRN entrelacés.Les deux protocoles utilisent le modèle de Markov caché (HMM). Dans la phase d'entrainement des deux protocoles, les données disponibles sont utilisées pour produire deux modèles HMM, un modèle HMM occupé et un modèle pas occupé.Les deux modèles sont utilisés ensemble pour produire le HMM à 2 modèles (2-model HMM). Dans la phase de prédiction, le premier protocole utilise le théorème de Bayes et le modèle HMM à 2 modèles, tandis que le second protocole utilise la machine à vecteur de support (SVM) qui emploie les paramètres produits à partir de l'application du modèle HMM à 2 modèles. Le HMM-SVM à 2 modèles est supérieure l’ HMM classique et le HMM à 2 modèles en termes de pourcentage réel, d'imprécision et de probabilité de collision des utilisateurs principaux(prédiction de faux négatifs). Dans notre deuxième contribution, nous avons proposé un protocole central pour ordonner les de paquets pour CRIoT à créneaux temporels. On applique l'optimisation des essaims de particules à permutation discrète (DP-PSO) pour programmer les paquets IoT parmi les créneaux libres obtenus en appliquant la technique d'estimation de canal des réseaux radio cognitifs proposée dans la première partie. Notre protocole proposé est appliqué aux établissements de santé intelligents.On a compose trois blocs de construction principaux pour la construction d'application utilisée; Blocage des appareils IoT, blocage des nœuds de brouillard de première couche et serveur de brouillard central. Chaque groupe d'appareils IoT est connecté à un nœud de brouillard, tous les nœuds de brouillard du système sont connectés au nœud de brouillard central. Le protocole proposé est nommé Planification basée sur l'optimisation des essaims de particules à permutation discrète(SDP-PSO). Une fonction de fitness objective est formulée avec trois paramètres;maximiser l'indice d'équité entre les nœuds de brouillard, minimiser le délai de mise en file d'attente des paquets et minimiser le nombre de paquets abandonnés qui ont dépassé leur temps dans le réseau sans être envoyés. Les performances du protocole SDP-PSO proposé surmontent un ancien protocole appelé vente aux enchères de spectre en termes d'équité entre les nœuds de brouillard, le délai moyen de mise enfile d'attente, le nombre de paquets abandonnés et la complexité temporelle et spatiale.Enfin, dans la troisième contribution, nous avons proposé un protocole d'ordonnancement de paquets distribués pour CRIoT. Notre proposition de protocole est appliquée à un contrôle de la circulation urbaine. Le système configuré dans cette partie se compose de trois blocs de construction principaux: le bloc d'appareils IoT,le premier bloc de couche de brouillard (unités routières (RSU)) et le deuxième bloc de couche de brouillard. Chaque groupe d'appareils IoT est connecté à une RSU, chaque groupe de RSU est connecté à un noeud de brouillard qui est en de tête du groupe. Les noeuds de brouillard sont connectés ensemble pour former un réseau maillé partiel.

L'intégration de la technologie de l'Internet des objets (IoT) et des réseaux radio cognitifs (CRN), formant l'Internet des objets par radio cognitive (CRIoT), est une solution économique pour battre la rareté du spectre IoT. Le but de cette thèse est de résoudre le problème du partage du spectre pour CRIoT; le travail en thèse est présenté en trois parties.Notre première contribution est de proposer deux nouveaux protocoles pour résoudre le problème de la prédiction de l'état des canaux pour les CRN entrelacés.Les deux protocoles utilisent le modèle de Markov caché (HMM). Dans la phase d'entrainement des deux protocoles, les données disponibles sont utilisées pour produire deux modèles HMM, un modèle HMM occupé et un modèle pas occupé.Les deux modèles sont utilisés ensemble pour produire le HMM à 2 modèles (2-model HMM). Dans la phase de prédiction, le premier protocole utilise le théorème de Bayes et le modèle HMM à 2 modèles, tandis que le second protocole utilise la machine à vecteur de support (SVM) qui emploie les paramètres produits à partir de l'application du modèle HMM à 2 modèles. Le HMM-SVM à 2 modèles est supérieure l’ HMM classique et le HMM à 2 modèles en termes de pourcentage réel, d'imprécision et de probabilité de collision des utilisateurs principaux(prédiction de faux négatifs). Dans notre deuxième contribution, nous avons proposé un protocole central pour ordonner les de paquets pour CRIoT à créneaux temporels. On applique l'optimisation des essaims de particules à permutation discrète (DP-PSO) pour programmer les paquets IoT parmi les créneaux libres obtenus en appliquant la technique d'estimation de canal des réseaux radio cognitifs proposée dans la première partie. Notre protocole proposé est appliqué aux établissements de santé intelligents.On a compose trois blocs de construction principaux pour la construction d'application utilisée; Blocage des appareils IoT, blocage des nœuds de brouillard de première couche et serveur de brouillard central. Chaque groupe d'appareils IoT est connecté à un nœud de brouillard, tous les nœuds de brouillard du système sont connectés au nœud de brouillard central. Le protocole proposé est nommé Planification basée sur l'optimisation des essaims de particules à permutation discrète(SDP-PSO). Une fonction de fitness objective est formulée avec trois paramètres;maximiser l'indice d'équité entre les nœuds de brouillard, minimiser le délai de mise en file d'attente des paquets et minimiser le nombre de paquets abandonnés qui ont dépassé leur temps dans le réseau sans être envoyés. Les performances du protocole SDP-PSO proposé surmontent un ancien protocole appelé vente aux enchères de spectre en termes d'équité entre les nœuds de brouillard, le délai moyen de mise enfile d'attente, le nombre de paquets abandonnés et la complexité temporelle et spatiale.Enfin, dans la troisième contribution, nous avons proposé un protocole d'ordonnancement de paquets distribués pour CRIoT. Notre proposition de protocole est appliquée à un contrôle de la circulation urbaine. Le système configuré dans cette partie se compose de trois blocs de construction principaux: le bloc d'appareils IoT,le premier bloc de couche de brouillard (unités routières (RSU)) et le deuxième bloc de couche de brouillard. Chaque groupe d'appareils IoT est connecté à une RSU, chaque groupe de RSU est connecté à un noeud de brouillard qui est en de tête du groupe. Les noeuds de brouillard sont connectés ensemble pour former un réseau maillé partiel.

Transcriptional enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression. While genomic assays can identify putative enhancers en masse, assigning target genes is a complex challenge. We devised a machine learning approach, McEnhancer, which links target genes to putative enhancers via a semi-supervised learning algorithm that predicts gene expression patterns based on enriched sequence features. Predicted expression patterns were 73–98% accurate, predicted assignments showed strong Hi-C interaction enrichment, enhancer-associated histone modifications were evident, and known functional motifs were recovered. Our model provides a general framework to link globally identified enhancers to targets and contributes to deciphering the regulatory genome.

Next generation sequencing technologies have provided us with a wealth of data profiling a diverse range of biological processes. In an effort to better understand the process of gene regulation, two predictive machine learning models specifically tailored for analyzing gene transcription and polyadenylation are presented.Transcriptional enhancers are specific DNA sequences that act as ``information integration hubs" to confer regulatory requirements on a given cell. These non-coding DNA sequences can regulate genes from long distances, or across chromosomes, and their relationships with their target genes are not limited to one-to-one. With thousands of putative enhancers and less than 14,000 protein-coding genes, detecting enhancer-gene pairs becomes a very complex machine learning and data analysis challenge. In order to predict these specific-sequences and link them to genes they regulate, we developed McEnhancer. Using DNAseI sensitivity data and annotated in-situ hybridization gene expression clusters, McEnhancer builds interpolated Markov models to learn enriched sequence content of known enhancer-gene pairs and predicts unknown interactions in a semi-supervised learning algorithm. Classification of predicted relationships were 73-98% accurate for gene sets with varying levels of initial known examples. Predicted interactions showed a great overlap when compared to Hi-C identified interactions. Enrichment of known functionally related TF binding motifs, enhancer-associated histone modification marks, along with corresponding developmental time point was highly evident.On the other hand, pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation is an essential step for 3'-end maturation and subsequent stability and degradation of mRNAs. This process is highly controlled by cis-regulatory elements surrounding the cleavage site (polyA site), which are frequently constrained by sequence content and position. More than 50\% of human transcripts have multiple functional polyA sites, and the specific use of alternative polyA sites (APA) results in isoforms with variable 3'-UTRs, thus potentially affecting gene regulation. Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms underlying differential polyA preferences in multiple cell types has been hindered by the lack of appropriate tests for determining APAs with significant differences across multiple libraries. We specified a linear effects regression model to identify tissue-specific biases indicating regulated APA; the significance of differences between tissue types was assessed by an appropriately designed permutation test. This combination allowed us to identify highly specific subsets of APA events in the individual tissue types. Predictive kernel-based SVM models successfully classified constitutive polyA sites from a biologically relevant background (auROC = 99.6%), as well as tissue-specific regulated sets from each other. The main cis-regulatory elements described for polyadenylation were found to be a strong, and highly informative, hallmark for constitutive sites only. Tissue-specific regulated sites were found to contain other regulatory motifs, with the canonical PAS signal being nearly absent at brain-specific sites. We applied this model on SRp20 data, an RNA binding protein that might be involved in oncogene activation and obtained interesting insights. Together, these two models contribute to the understanding of enhancers and the key role they play in regulating tissue-specific expression patterns during development, as well as provide a better understanding of the diversity of post-transcriptional gene regulation in multiple tissue types.

- Abstract
Purpose: Sensitive methods for risk stratification, monitoring therapeutic efficacy, and early relapse detection may have a major impact on treatment decisions and patient management for stage III colorectal cancer patients. Beyond assessing the predictive power of postoperative ctDNA detection, we explored the added benefits of serial analysis: assessing adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) efficacy, early relapse detection, and ctDNA growth rates., Experimental Design: We recruited 168 patients with stage III colorectal cancer treated with curative intent at Danish and Spanish hospitals between 2014 and 2019. To quantify ctDNA in plasma samples ( n = 1,204), 16 patient-specific somatic single-nucleotide variants were profiled using multiplex-PCR, next-generation sequencing., Results: Detection of ctDNA was a strong recurrence predictor postoperatively [HR = 7.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.7-13.5; P < 0.001] and directly after ACT (HR = 50.76; 95% CI, 15.4-167; P < 0.001). The recurrence rate of postoperative ctDNA-positive patients treated with ACT was 80% (16/20). Only patients who cleared ctDNA permanently during ACT did not relapse. Serial ctDNA assessment after the end of treatment was similarly predictive of recurrence (HR = 50.80; 95% CI, 14.9-172; P < 0.001), and revealed two distinct rates of exponential ctDNA growth, slow (25% ctDNA-increase/month) and fast (143% ctDNA-increase/month; P < 0.001). The ctDNA growth rate was prognostic of survival (HR = 2.7; 95% CI, 1.1-6.7; P = 0.039). Serial ctDNA analysis every 3 months detected recurrence with a median lead-time of 9.8 months compared with standard-of-care computed tomography., Conclusions: Serial postoperative ctDNA analysis has a strong prognostic value and enables tumor growth rate assessment. The novel combination of ctDNA detection and growth rate assessment provides unique opportunities for guiding decision-making.

- Abstract
Objectives: To characterize patterns of emergency department (ED) utilization for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs) among patients with established care within a patient-centered medical home., Study Design: Retrospective chart review using Michigan Medicine's (formerly University of Michigan Health System) electronic health record., Methods: Ten general medicine (GM) physicians reviewed 256 ambulatory care-sensitive ED encounters that occurred between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014, among patients of a GM medical home. Physician reviewers abstracted from the medical record the day and time of ED presentation and the source of ED referral (eg, patient self-referral vs physician referral). Physicians assessed the appropriateness of the care location (eg, ED vs primary care). Interrater reliability was assessed using the kappa statistic, and the χ2 test was used to assess differences in the appropriateness of the care location according to ED referral source., Results: Compared with all other days of the week, the fewest number of ED visits occurred on weekend days, and nearly half of patients (48%) presented to the ED after daytime hours, which were defined as 8 am to 3:59 pm. The majority (n = 185; 72%) of patients were self-referred to the ED. The ED was considered the appropriate care location in more than half (53%) of the reviewed cases. Among the 119 cases considered appropriate for GM management, the majority (86%) were self-referred to the ED., Conclusions: Patients with ACSCs often presented to the ED without contacting their medical home. Frequently, the ED is the most appropriate location given symptoms at presentation.
