#MIT #jenga

Jenga is a quintessential example of a contact rich task where we need to interact with the tower to learn and infer block mechanics and multi-modal behavior by combining touch and sight.

Current learning methodologies struggle with these challenges and have not exploited physics nearly as richly as we believe humans do. Most robotic learning systems still use purely visual data, without a sense of touch; this fundamentally limits how quickly and flexibly a robot can learn about the world. Learning algorithms that build on model-free reinforcement learning methods have little to no ability to exploit knowledge about the physics of objects and actions. Even the methods using model-based reinforcement learning or imitation learning have mostly used generic statistical models that do not explicitly represent any of the knowledge about physical objects, contacts, or forces that humans have from a very early age. As a consequence, these systems require far more training data than humans do to learn new models or new tasks, and they generalize much less broadly and less robustly.

#algorithmic-advances #deep-learning #machine-learning
Because the field is guided by experimental findings rather than by theory, algorithmic advances only become possible when appropriate data and hardware are available to try new ideas (or scale up old ideas, as is often the case). Machine learning isn’t mathematics or physics, where major advances can be done with a pen and a piece of paper. It’s an engineering science.

Hystéroscopie diagnostique :

  • Elle se fait en consultation.
  • Elle est à réaliser préférentiellement en 1ère partie de cycle et après s'être assuré de l'absence de grossesse.
  • On utilise préférentiellement du sérum physiologique pour la distension de la cavité, et un hystéroscope rigide de faible calibre.
  • L'hystéroscopie permet de visualiser la cavité utérine : aspect de l'endomètre, présence d'un polype ou d'un myome.
  • Elle est à pratiquer en cas d'anomalie à l'échographie ou en cas d'échec de traitement médicamenteux avec échographie normale.

Biopsie d'endomètre :

  • Elle doit être faite chez toute patiente de plus de 45 ans ou en cas de facteur de risque de cancer de l'endomètre.
  • Le prélèvement est effectué à la pipelle de Cornier ® , après éventuelle hystéroscopie diagnostique.

  • Il est également possible d'effectuer des biopsies dirigées lors d'une hystéroscopie diagnostique (grâce à une pince à travers un canal opérateur).
  • Le but de la biopsie est de diagnostiquer un cancer de l'endomètre ou une hyperplasie glandulaire atypique.

  • Attention, la biopsie est généralement faite à l'aveugle et ne peut éliminer avec certitude un cancer de l'endomètre, même si elle est normale ++

Myome

• Le traitement médical (mise en aménorrhée) repose sur les progestatifs (21 jours/mois ou en continu), l'acétate d'ulipristal ou les agonistes de la GnRH (associer une hormonothérapie de substitution œstroprogestative type add-back thérapie selon la durée du traitement).

• Le traitement chirurgical consiste en une résection hystéroscopique pour les myomes sous- muqueux de type 0, 1 ou 2 de la FIGO (fig. 4.2 et tableau 4.3), de moins de 3 ou 4 cm.

• Pour les myomes interstitiels et sous-séreux, le traitement médical est instauré en 1 re inten- tion (DIU au lévonorgestrel, progestatif ou acétate d'ulipristal). En cas d'échec, la chirurgie est discutée, à type de myomectomie par laparoscopie ou laparotomie en cas de désir de traitement conservateur. S'il n'y a plus de désir de grossesse, on peut proposer une hystérectomie interannexielle avec salpingectomie bilatérale.

• Il existe une possibilité de traitement par embolisation utérine (non recommandé en cas de désir de grossesse).

Contraception œstroprogestative (COP) - Mécanismes d'action :

  • L'effet contraceptif de la COP agit par plusieurs mécanismes :
    • action antigonadotrope du composé progestatif principalement (amplifiée par l'œstrogène), supprimant ainsi le pic ovulatoire de LH et FSH et inhibant la croissance folliculaire
    • modification de la glaire cervicale, épaisse et moins abondante (composé progestatif)
    • atrophie de l'endomètre le rendant plus ou moins inapte à la nidation (composé progestatif)

L'œstrogène et le progestatif sont administrés conjointement à différentes doses.

  • Si la dose des deux composés est fixe tout au long du cycle, on parle de pilule combinée monophasique ; on parle de pilule combinée biphasique lorsque deux séquences de dosages existent (plus forte posologie en 2 e partie de plaquette) ou de pilule combinée triphasique lorsque trois phases de dosages sont utilisées

Effets indésirables (majeurs ou mineurs) :

Ils sont essentiellement d'ordre vasculaire et métabolique :

  • Augmentation du risque thromboembolique veineux en raison des modifications de l'hémostase induites pharmacologiquement par les stéroïdes contenus dans les COP et dépendant du climat hormonal de chaque pilule.
  • Ce sont les pilules combinées de 2 ème génération contenant du lévonorgestrel qui sont le moins à risque comparativement aux COP contenant des progestatifs de 3ème génération, de la drospirénone ou de l'acétate de cyprotérone.
  • Le risque thromboembolique existe même avec les pilules de 2ème génération. Ce risque relatif est de l'ordre de 3 comparé aux femmes non utilisatrices.

Augmentation du risque artériel (risque d'infarctus du myocarde ou d'accident vasculaire cérébral) principalement chez les femmes à risque artériel car la COP modifie certains métabolismes et a une action synergique dans certaines situations cliniques comme suit :

  • Métabolisme glucidique par diminution de la tolérance au glucose entraînant un certain degré d'insulinorésistance
  • Métabolisme lipidique : dépendant du climat hormonal de la COP avec augmentation des triglycérides, du cholestérol total et du HDL-cholestérol
  • Apparition d'une hypertension artérielle chez environ 5 % des femmes probablement en relation avec des modifications de l'angiotensinogène
  • Tabac : ce risque artériel est majoré chez les femmes qui fument sans que la quantité de tabac ne soit clairement déterminée. Le risque est proportionnel à la quantité de tabac
  • Migraine : avec un effet synergique de la COP très significatif chez les femmes souffrant de migraines avec aura
  • Antécédents familiaux du 1 er degré chez des apparentés jeunes (< 60 ans) : action synergique de la COP
  • Obésité ou surpoids : action synergique de la COP
  • Âge > 35 ans : action synergique de la COP

Progestatifs à faibles doses (microprogestatifs) - Mécanismes d'action :

L'effet contraceptif des progestatifs à faibles doses agit par plusieurs mécanismes :

  • Principalement par modification de la glaire cervicale (épaisse et donc impropre au passage des spermatozoïdes), d'où l'importance d'une utilisation en continu
  • Par possible atrophie de l'endomètre, inapte à la nidation
  • Par diminution de la mobilité tubaire
  • Pour le désogestrel, par une discrète action antigonadotrope, variable selon les femmes (action anti-ovulatoire par écrêtement du pic de LH)

Ces petites doses de progestatif délivrées en continu peuvent être utilisées selon plusieurs voies d'administration :

• par voie orale : leur action contraceptive est essentiellement périphérique. Dénuée d'effets indésirables métaboliques et vasculaires, il s'agit de l'une des méthodes contraceptives de 1er choix pour les femmes présentant des contre-indications métaboliques et vasculaires, en post-partum immédiat ou lors de l'allaitement.

• par voie sous-cutanée : l'implant contraceptif délivre quotidiennement de faibles doses d'étonogestrel à des taux plasmatiques proches de ceux des microprogestatifs. Il est posé sous la peau à la face interne du bras non dominant après une anesthésie locale. Sa durée d'action est de 3 ans.

• par voie intra-utérine : le DIU au lévonorgestrel entraîne une atrophie de l'endomètre et un épaississement de la glaire cervicale. Sa durée d'utilisation est de 5 ans pour la forme classique et de 3 ans pour la taille plus petite. Il est spécialement indiqué en cas de dysménorrhées, de ménorragies fonctionnelles et d'adénomyose

During all the reproductive years of adult life, between about 13 and 46 years of age, only 400 to 500 of the primordial follicles develop enough to expel their ova—one each month; the remainder degenerate (i.e., become atretic). At the end of reproductive capability (at menopause), only a few primordial follicles remain in the ovaries, and even these follicles degenerate soon thereafter.

The female hormonal system, like that of the male hormonal system, consists of three hierarchies of hormones, as follows:

1. A hypothalamic releasing hormone, called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)

2. The anterior pituitary sex hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), both of which are secreted in response to the release of GnRH from the hypothalamus

3. The ovarian hormones, estrogen and progesterone, which are secreted by the ovaries in response to the two female sex hormones from the anterior pituitary gland These various hormones are secreted at drastically differing rates during different parts of the female monthly sexual cycle.

  • it is ok to use an alarm clock to cut sleep short
  • it is ok to work in shifts
  • it is ok to travel people around the world without much attention to the jet lag problem
  • it is ok to save time by sleeping less and working more
  • it is ok to pull kids out of bed in time for school
  • it is ok to skip nights before important exams, etc.

Disk and RAM metaphor

A metaphor can help understand the role of sleep and why alarm clocks are bad. We can compare the brain and its NREM-REM sleep cycles to an ordinary PC. During the day, while learning and experiencing new things, you store your new data in RAM memory. During the night, while first in NREM, you write the data down to the hard disk. During REM, which follows NREM in the night, you do the disk defragmentation, i.e. you organize data, sort them, build new connections, etc. Overnight, you repeat the write-and-defragment cycle until all RAM data is neatly written to the disk (for long-term use), and your RAM is clear and ready for a new day of learning. Upon waking up, you reboot the computer. If you reboot early with the use of an alarm clock, you often leave your disk fragmented. Your data access is slow, and your thinking is confused. Even worse, some of the data may not even get written to the disk. It is as if you have never stored it in RAM in the first place. In conclusion, if you use an alarm clock, you endanger your data

Nearly everyone has pulled an all nighter once upon a time. Even if this is often an unpleasant experience, it nearly always ends up with a 100% recovery after a single night of solid sleep. It is therefore a bit surprising to know that that a week or two of sleep deprivation can result in death! Sleep researchers constructed a cruel contraption that would wake up rats as soon as they fell asleep. This contraptions showed that it takes an average of 3 weeks to kill a rat by sleep deprivation (or some 5 months by REM sleep deprivation alone)(Rechtschaffen 1998[7]). Dr Siegel demonstrated brain damage in sleep-deprived rats (Siegel 2003[8]). Due to an increase in the level of glucocorticoids, neurogenesis in some portions of the brain is inhibited by lack of sleep[9]. In short, sleep deprivation is very bad for the health of the brain.

Electric lighting and stress are the two chief culprits that have converted the natural process of sleep into a daily struggle for millions. In the new millennium, we can rarely hope to get a good night sleep without understanding the science and the art of sleep. Currently, the societal understanding of sleep and its functions is as dismal as the understanding of the health risks of cigarettes in the 1920s. A majority of the population inflict pain, misery and mental torture on themselves and their children by trying to regulate their sleep with alarm clocks, irrational shift-work patterns, sleeping pills, alcohol, caffeine, etc.

A majority of the population inflict pain, misery and mental torture on themselves and their children by trying to regulate their sleep with alarm clocks, irrational shift-work patterns, sleeping pills, alcohol, caffeine, etc. For a chance to break out from unhealthy sleep habits, you need to understand the two-component model of sleep regulation. There are two components of sleepiness that drive you to bed:




#Apprentissage #Culture #Learning #Sleep #Sommeil

There are two components of sleepiness that drive you to bed:

  • circadian component - sleepiness comes back to us in cycles which are usually about one day long
  • homeostatic component - sleepiness increases with the length of time we stay awake

Only a combination of these two components determines the optimum time for sleep. Most importantly, you should remember that even strong sleepiness resulting from the homeostatic component may not be sufficient to get good sleep if the timing goes against the greatest sleep propensity determined by the circadian component

Circadian component There are around hundred known body functions that oscillate between maximum and minimum values in a day-long cycle. Because these functions take about a day's time

Circadian component

There are around hundred known body functions that oscillate between maximum and minimum values in a day-long cycle. Because these functions take about a day's time to complete, the term circadian rhythm was coined by Dr Franz Halberg of Germany in 1959 (in Latin circadian means about a day). The overall tendency to maintain sleep is also subject to such a circadian rhythm. In an average case, the maximum sleepiness comes in the middle of the night, reaches the minimum at awakening, and again increases slightly at siesta time in the afternoon. However, the circadian sleepiness is often shifted in phase as compared with your desired sleep time. Consequently, if your maximum sleepiness comes in the morning, you may find it difficult to fall asleep late in the evening, even if you missed a lot of sleep on the preceding day. In other words, the optimum timing of your sleep should take into consideration your circadian rhythm.

Homeostatic component

Homeostasis is the term that refers to maintaining equilibrium or balance in physiological and metabolic functions. If you drink liquids containing lots of calcium, homeostatic mechanisms will make sure that you excrete calcium with urine or deposit it in the bones. This is used to make sure your blood levels of calcium remain the same. Similar mechanisms are used to regulate overall sleepiness and its multiple subcomponents. The longer you stay awake, the more you learn, the more you think, the higher your tendency to fall asleep. On the other hand, caffeine, stress, exercise and other factors may temporarily reduce your homeostatic sleepiness. The homeostatic mechanism prepares you for sleep after a long day of intellectual work. At the same time it prevents you from falling asleep in emergencies.

Clock and Hourglass metaphor A metaphor is useful in explaining the two components of sleep (for a more scientific explanation see: Borbely model). Deep in the brain, your body clock is




#Apprentissage #Culture #Learning #Sleep #Sommeil

It is important to know that sleepy potion produced by the body clock is not enough to put you to sleep. The brain also uses the hourglass of mental energy that gives you some time every day that you can devote to intellectual work. When you wake up, the hourglass is full and starts being emptied. With every waking moment, with everything your brain absorbs, with every mental effort, the hourglass is less and less full. Only when the hourglass of mental energy is empty will you able to quickly fall asleep.

To get a good night sleep, you need to combine two factors:

  • your body clock must be saying "time to sleep" (circadian component of sleep)
  • your hourglass of power must be saying "no more mental work" (homeostatic component of sleep)

If, on the other hand, you try to sleep without the sleepy potion while the hourglass of power is empty, you may succeed, but you will wake up very fast with your hourglass full again. That will make sleeping again nearly impossible. Insomniacs go to sleep before the body clock releases the sleepy potion. When you wake up early with an alarm clock, you can hardly get to your feet because your body is full of sleepy potion, which begs you to go back to sleep. When you are drowsy in the afternoon, your hourglass of mental power might be almost empty. A quick nap will then help you fill it up again and be very productive in the evening.

When good sleep might not come?

You may be surprised to find out that your internal circadian oscillation is based on a period that is closer to 25 hours than to 24 hours! To be exact, it varies between individuals, seasons, and other daily factors such as stress, timing of sleep, timing of the light period, intensity of light, exercise, and many more. Usually it falls into the range from 24.5 hours to 25.5 hours.

Most of us are able to entrain this 25 circadian rhythm into a 24-hour cycle by using factors that reset the oscillation. These factors include intense morning light, work, exercise, etc. German scientists have named these factors zeitgebers (i.e. factors that give time). As a result of the influence of zeitgebers, in a well-adjusted individual, the cycle can be set back by 30-60 minutes each day. However, the entrainment to the 24-hour cycle may come with difficulty to many individuals due to factors such as:

  • blindness (i.e. the inability to use the main zeitgeber: light)
  • short-sightedness (i.e. reduced sensitivity to light zeitgeber)
  • increased demand for sleep (e.g. as a result of intense learning, highly creative job position, exercise, etc.)
  • stress
  • endocrine disorders
  • sleep disorders
  • adolescence

In other words, in the interdependence between sleep disorders and entrainment failure, the cause-effect relationship will often be reversed! Due to the physiological function of sleep, which is the rewiring of the neural networks of the brain, we can naturally expect that the demand for sleep be associated with the amount of learning on the preceding days. This link may also explain a decreased demand for sleep in retirement due to a decrease in intellectual activity. This age-related drop in the demand for sleep is less likely to be observed in highly active individuals. For similar reasons, the entrainment failure can often be found among students during exams. It is not clear how much of this failure can be attributed to stress, or to the desire to do more on a given day, or to the actual increase in the demand for sleep.

This paper (Aronis et al. 2017) describes a Multiple Outbreak Detection System (MODS) that detects and characterizes overlapping outbreaks of influenza. MODS is part of a framework for disease surveillance developed by our group [3], [4], [5]. In this framework, a natural language processing system extracts signs and symptoms from the full text of emergency department (ED) patient care reports. These extracted features are combined with laboratory values and passed to a Case Detection System (CDS) that infers a probability distribution over the diseases each patient may have. For each patient, this distribution is expressed as a set of likelihoods of the patient’s data. MODS searches a space of outbreak models and scores each model according to the probability of the findings of each patient in the ED given the model. Models are weighted and combined to make predictions. See Fig. 1.

The work (Aronis et al. 2017) reported here differs from much of the prior work in three important ways. First, we address the problem of detecting and characterizing multiple, overlapping outbreaks. These are commonly due to separate type A and type B infections, but may also be caused by multiple introductions of the same influenza strain, the spread of an influenza strain in different demographic groups, or different strains of influenza [1], [11], [12], [13], [14]. Second, we do not rely on simple counts. Instead, for each patient, CDS produces a set of likelihoods of that patient’s evidence given the diseases he or she may have. This is more robust than a posterior probability. While the posterior probability of influenza given fever and cough in a particular patient will change if it is summer, the peak of an influenza outbreak, or the days following an anthrax attack [15], the likelihood of fever and cough given influenza is relatively stable. Finally, we explicitly account for Non-Influenza Influenza-Like Illnesses (NI-ILI) which are clinically similar to influenza and can also display outbreak activity.

This is fraught with danger since they must make a decision with huge public health, economic, and political risk based on limited evidence early in an outbreak [2]. <span>We propose a different approach: instead of picking a single outbreak model, use all of the models, project the effect of an intervention against each model in the set, and predict the interventions’ efficacy with the expected outcome based on the models’ probabilities that were computed before the intervention. 5. Conclusions We described a framework for the detection and characterization of multiple, overlapping outbreaks of influenza from ED patient care reports. We also described the implem

L'infection tuberculeuse latente est une infection au cours de laquelle la multiplication bacillaire est contrôlée efficacement par la réponse immunitaire spécifique : il n'y a ni signe radiologique ni signe clinique. La tuberculose-maladie est une infection au cours de laquelle la multiplication bacillaire se poursuit malgré la réponse immunitaire spécifique, aboutissant à des signes radiologiques, accompagnés ou non de signes cliniques. Le risque de progression immédiate de l'infection tuberculeuse vers la tuberculose-maladie est majoré chez les enfants âgés de moins de 5 ans (surtout ceux de moins de 2 ans), ainsi que chez les immunodéprimés.

The text of each patient care report is parsed to extract 79 findings (such as abdominal pain, cough, and fever) that were deemed by experts to be relevant to the diagnosis of influenza and influenza-like illnesses. Thus, each report is converted into a set of 79 features. Each feature can take the values present (the corresponding finding is explicitly mentioned, e.g. “the patient is cyanotic.”), absent (the finding is denied, e.g. “the patient denies chest pain.”), or missing (the finding is not mentioned in the text). Four pre-coded features, age, respiratory panel ordered, laboratory result available, and laboratory positive influenza are then added to the text-based 79 findings. Thus, each report is converted to a set of 83 features.

  • En France, il y a environ 5 000 nouveaux cas de tuberculose-maladie chaque année.
    L'incidence en 2015 était de 7,1/100 000.
    Plus du tiers des nouveaux cas sont déclarés en Ile-de-France. Moins de 100 souches bacillaires identifiées chaque année sont MDR.

  • Les cas pédiatriques (< 15 ans) représentent environ 5 % des cas déclarés (autour de 250 cas annuels), la moitié de ces cas étant observée chez l'enfant de moins de 5 ans.
  • Chaque année, 2 à 3 cas de méningite tuberculeuse sont déclarés chez l'enfant de moins de 5 ans.
  • Depuis l'arrêt de l'obligation vaccinale par le BCG au niveau national, on observe une légère augmentation des cas de tuberculose-maladie chez les enfants non vaccinés.
    Cette augmentation reste toutefois bien inférieure aux simulations qui avaient précédé les modifications du calendrier vaccinal

  • âge < 5 ans et surtout < 2 ans
  • Immunodépression (quelque soit la cause)

This distribution can provide the probability of that patient’s findings given their assumed disease state.

Chez l'enfant immunocompétent âgé de moins de 5 ans, une IDR à la tuberculine (Tubertest ® ) est également systématiquement réalisée lors de cette première évaluation.

Les règles d'interprétation de l'IDR dépendent de la vaccination par le BCG (tableau 61.1).

Les tests interféron gamma (IFN-γ) ne sont actuellement pas recommandés pour le dépistage des enfants d'âge < 5 ans (HAS, 2011).

En l'absence de critères d'infection, une nouvelle évaluation par IDR et radiographie de thorax sera réalisée 8 à 12 semaines après le dernier contact avec le cas index.
Durant cet intervalle, les enfants âgés de moins de 2 ans doivent bénéficier d'une prophylaxie, c'est-à-dire en pratique d'un traitement d'infection tuberculeuse latente

Chez l'enfant immunocompétent âgé de 5 ans ou plus, du fait du très faible risque de progression rapide vers la tuberculose-maladie, le test immunitaire n'est pas réalisé initialement si la radiographie de thorax est normale, mais seulement après un délai de 8 à 12 semaines après le dernier contact avec le cas index. Un test in vitro de libération d'IFN-γ (Quantiféron ® , SPOT-TB ® ) peut remplacer l'IDR. Tout test positif définit une infection tuberculeuse.

Chez l'enfant immunodéprimé, le risque de progression rapide vers la tuberculose-maladie est élevé. La stratégie de dépistage est donc superposable à celle réalisée chez l'enfant âgé de moins de 5 ans.

Les tests immunitaires ont souvent une sensibilité diminuée dans ces situations, mais doivent néanmoins être réalisés.

Une prophylaxie est indiquée pour tous ces enfants, entre les deux évaluations.

Toute radiographie anormale doit faire considérer le diagnostic de tuberculose-maladie, quel que soit le résultat des tests immunitaires.

Quel que soit l'âge de l'enfant, toute infection tuberculeuse latente (ITL) à bacille supposé sensible doit être traitée

Généralités Le diagnostic de tuberculose-maladie peut être difficile chez l'enfant, particulièrement chez le nourrisson. La tuberculose-maladie de l'enfant étant le plus souvent pauvre en bacilles, la preuve microbiologique fait souvent défaut, contrairement à la tuberculose de l'adulte. Le diagnostic est donc le plus souvent posé sur un faisceau d'arguments intégrant la notion de contage, la présence de signes cliniques, une réponse immunitaire spécifique positive (IDR ou test interféron gamma), et des anomalies radiologiques évocatrices

Imagerie thoracique

  • La radiographie de thorax peut être d'emblée très évocatrice, en montrant :
    • Des adénopathies latérotrachéales droites
    • Médiastinales et hilaires, typiques de la tuberculose de l'enfant (voir fig. 60.5 au chapitre 60).
      • Ces adénopathies peuvent comprimer les voies aériennes adjacentes avec éventuellement atélectasie ou emphysème obstructif.
    • Des opacités parenchymateuses alvéolaires sont également fréquentes.
    • Le classique complexe primaire, associant nodule parenchymateux d'un sommet et adénopathie satellite, est en fait rarement objectivé.

A hyperparameter is a property of a learning algorithm, usually (but not always) having a numerical value. That value influences the way the algorithm works. Hyperparameters aren’t learned by the algorithm itself from data. They have to be set by the data analyst before running the algorithm.

Épidémiologie (données de l'INCa) :

  • Le cancer du sein est le cancer le plus fréquent chez la femme, devant le cancer colorectal et le cancer du poumon.
  • Son incidence augmente avec la généralisation du dépistage et le vieillissement de la population. En 2017, on estimait le nombre de nouveaux cas de cancers du sein en France métropolitaine à environ 59 000 et le nombre de décès à environ 11900.
  • Il représente plus du tiers de l'ensemble des nouveaux cas de cancer chez la femme.
  • Dans plus de 8 cas sur 10, il touche des femmes âgées de 50 ans et plus.
  • Dans plus de 99 % des cas, le cancer du sein touche les femmes mais il peut aussi concerner les hommes (chez qui une mutation constitutionnelle délétère doit être évoquée).
  • Son dépistage à un stade précoce permet un pronostic plus favorable avec un taux de survie nette standardisée sur l'âge à 5 ans de 87 % et à 10 ans de 76 %.
  • Le taux de mortalité a diminué de 1,5 % par an en moyenne entre 2005 et 2012.
  • Cependant, il reste la 1ère cause de décès par cancer chez la femme devant le cancer du poumon

journals.plos.org Assessing the performance of real-time epidemic forecasts: A case study of Ebola in the Western Area region of Sierra Leone, 2014-15 Sebastian Funk , 57-72 minutes Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Sebastian Funk, Anton Camacho, Adam J. Kucharski, Rachel Lowe, Rosalind M. Eggo, W. John Edmunds x Published: February 11, 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006785 Abstract Real-time forecasts based on mathematical models can inform critical decision-making during infectious disease outbreaks. Yet, epidemic forecasts are rarely evaluated during or after the event, and there is little guidance on the best metrics for assessment. Here, we propose an evaluation approach that disentangles different components of forecasting ability using metrics that separately assess the calibration, sharpness and bias of forecasts. This ma

Marr et al 2019: Effect of humidity on flu

royalsocietypublishing.org Mechanistic insights into the effect of humidity on airborne influenza virus survival, transmission and incidence 54-68 minutes Linsey C. Marr , Julian W. Tang , Jennifer Van Mullekom and Seema S. Lakdawala Published:16 January 2019https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2018.0298 Abstract Influenza incidence and seasonality, along with virus survival and transmission, appear to depend at least partly on humidity, and recent studies have suggested that absolute humidity (AH) is more important than relative humidity (RH) in modulating observed patterns. In this perspective article, we re-evaluate studies of influenza virus survival in aerosols, transmission in animal models and influenza incidence to show that the combination of temperature and RH is equally valid as AH as a predictor. Collinearity must be considered, as higher levels of AH are only possible at higher temperatures, where it i

Palpation

  • Elle est effectuée mains à plat, par une pression douce par mouvements rotatifs faisant rouler la glande sur le grill costal, quadrant par quadrant, en insistant sur le quadrant supéroexterne (environ 60 % des cancers se localisent dans ce quadrant ou à la jonction des quadrants adjacents) et évalue :
    • La localisation (quadrant)
    • La taille (en mm)
    • La consistance et la sensibilité
    • La netteté des contours
    • La mobilité par rapport à la peau (par le pincement de la peau en regard de la tumeur, à la recherche d'une adhérence voire d'un envahissement) et aux plans profonds par la manœuvre de Tillaux (adduction contrariée du bras, permettant la contraction du muscle grand pectoral), uniquement pour les tumeurs situées en regard du muscle grand pectoral

Nsoesie et al. 2014: Systematic review of flu outbreak forecasts

onlinelibrary.wiley.com A systematic review of studies on forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks Elaine O. Nsoesie 35-44 minutes Abstract Forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks could be useful for decision‐making regarding the allocation of public health resources. Reliable forecasts could also aid in the selection and implementation of interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality due to influenza illness. This paper reviews methods for influenza forecasting proposed during previous influenza outbreaks and those evaluated in hindsight. We discuss the various approaches, in addition to the variability in measures of accuracy and precision of predicted measures. PubMed and Google Scholar searches for articles on influenza forecasting retrieved sixteen studies that matched the study criteria. We focused on studies that aimed at forecasting influenza outbreaks at the local, regional, national, or global level. The selected studies s

Schon et al. 2018: SMC for nonlinear dynamic systems
#has-images

sciencedirect.com Probabilistic learning of nonlinear dynamical systems using sequential Monte Carlo Abstract Probabilistic modeling provides the capability to represent and manipulate uncertainty in data, models, predictions and decisions. We are concerned with the problem of learning probabilistic models of dynamical systems from measured data. Specifically, we consider learning of probabilistic nonlinear state-space models. There is no closed-form solution available for this problem, implying that we are forced to use approximations. In this tutorial we will provide a self-contained introduction to one of the state-of-the-art methods—the particle Metropolis-Hastings algorithm—which has proven to offer a practical approximation. This is a Monte Carlo based method, where the particle filter is used to guide a Markov chain Monte Carlo method through the parameter space. One of the key merits of the particle Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is that it is guaranteed to converge to the “

Prise en charge d'un cancer du sein

  • Le cancer du sein est un cancer le plus souvent hormonodépendant.
  • Deux types de cancers infiltrants sont distingués selon le siège initial des lésions :
    • Canalaire (ou carcinome non spécifique) : 90 % des cancers

    • Lobulaire : 10 % des cancers particuliers dans leur forme commune par leur bon histopronostic et par le manque de cohésion des cellules qui infiltrent les tissus « en file indienne » (du fait de la perte de la e-cadhérine qui permet aux cellules de s'agréger les unes aux autres).

    • Il existe de même deux types de cancer du sein non infiltrants, beaucoup moins fréquents : les carcinomes canalaires in situ ou intracanalaires (fig. 20.12), et les très rares carcinomes lobulaires in situ (LIN 3)

When a female child is born, each ovum is surrounded by a single layer of granulosa cells; the ovum, with this granulosa cell sheath, is called a primordial follicle, as shown in the figure.

Throughout childhood, the granulosa cells are believed to provide nourishment for the ovum and to secrete an oocyte maturation inhibiting factor that keeps the ovum suspended in its primordial state in the prophase stage of meiotic division.

Then, after puberty, when FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary gland begin to be secreted in significant quantities, the ovaries (together with some of the follicles within them) begin to grow.

The first stage of follicular growth is moderate enlargement of the ovum, which increases in diameter twofold to threefold. That stage is followed by growth of additional layers of granulosa cells in some of the follicles. These follicles are known as primary follicles

The theca is divided into two layers.

  • In the theca interna, the cells take on epithelioid characteristics similar to those of the granulosa cells and develop the ability to secrete additional steroid sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone).
  • The outer layer, the theca externa, develops into a highly vascular connective tissue capsule that becomes the capsule of the developing follicle.

After the early proliferative phase of growth, which lasts for a few days, the mass of granulosa cells secretes a follicular fluid that contains a high concentration of estrogen, one of the important female sex hormones (discussed later).

Accumulation of this fluid causes an antrum to appear within the mass of granulosa cells

The early growth of the primary follicle up to the antral stage is stimulated mainly by FSH alone.

Greatly accelerated growth then occurs, leading to still larger follicles called vesicular follicles.

This accelerated growth is caused by the following mechanisms:
1. Estrogen is secreted into the follicle and causes the granulosa cells to form increasing numbers of FSH receptors, which causes a positive feedback effect because it makes the granulosa cells even more sensitive to FSH.
2. The pituitary FSH and the estrogens combine to promote LH receptors on the original granulosa cells, thus allowing LH stimulation to occur in addition to FSH stimulation and creating an even more rapid increase in follicular secretion.

3. The increasing estrogens from the follicle plus the increasing LH from the anterior pituitary gland act together to cause proliferation of the follicular thecal cells and increase their secretion as well.

Once the antral follicles begin to grow, their growth occurs almost explosively.

The ovum also enlarges in diameter another threefold to fourfold, giving a total ovum diameter increase up to 10-fold, or a mass increase of 1000-fold.

As the follicle enlarges, the ovum remains embedded in a mass of granulosa cells located at one pole of the follicle

Only One Follicle Fully Matures Each Month, and the Remainder Undergo Atresia.

After a week or more of growth—but before ovulation occurs—one of the follicles begins to outgrow all the others, and the remaining 5 to 11 developing follicles involute (a process called atresia); these follicles are said to become atretic.

The cause of the atresia is unclear, but it has been postulated to be the following:

  • The large amounts of estrogen from the most rapidly growing follicle act on the hypothalamus to depress further enhancement of FSH secretion by the anterior pituitary gland, in this way blocking further growth of the less well-developed follicles.
  • Therefore, the largest follicle continues to grow because of its intrinsic positive feedback effects, while all the other follicles stop growing and actually involute

Ovulation

  • Ovulation in a woman who has a normal 28-day female sexual cycle occurs 14 days after the onset of menstruation.

  • Shortly before ovulation the protruding outer wall of the follicle swells rapidly, and a small area in the center of the follicular capsule, called the stigma, protrudes like a nipple.
  • In another 30 minutes or so, fluid begins to ooze from the follicle through the stigma, and about 2 minutes later, the stigma ruptures widely, allowing a more viscous fluid, which has occupied the central portion of the follicle, to evaginate outward.
  • This viscous fluid carries with it the ovum surrounded by a mass of several thousand small granulosa cells, called the corona radiata

A Surge of Luteinizing Hormone Is Necessary for Ovulation.

  • LH is necessary for final follicular growth and ovulation.
    Without this hormone, even when large quantities of FSH are available, the follicle will not progress to the stage of ovulation.

  • About 2 days before ovulation, the rate of secretion of LH by the anterior pituitary gland increases markedly, rising 6- to 10-fold and peaking about 16 hours before ovulation

FSH also increases about twofold to threefold at the same time, and the FSH and LH act synergistically to cause rapid swelling of the follicle during the last few days before ovulation.

The LH also has a specific effect on the granulosa and theca cells, converting them mainly to progesterone-secreting cells.
Therefore, the rate of secretion of estrogen begins to fall about 1 day before ovulation, while increas-ing amounts of progesterone begin to be secreted

This LH causes rapid secretion of follicular steroid hormones that contain progesterone.

Within a few hours, two events occur, both of which are necessary for ovulation:

  • 1. The theca externa (i.e., the capsule of the follicle) begins to release proteolytic enzymes from lysosomes, and these enzymes cause dissolution of the follicular capsular wall and consequent weakening of the wall, resulting in further swelling of the entire follicle and degeneration of the stigma.
  • 2. Simultaneously there is rapid growth of new blood vessels into the follicle wall, and at the same time, prostaglandins (local hormones that cause vasodilation) are secreted into the follicular tissues

These two effects cause plasma transudation into the follicle, which contributes to follicle swelling

They enlarge in diameter two or more times and become filled with lipid inclusions that give them a yellowish appearance. This process is called luteinization, and the total mass of cells together is called the corpus luteum, which is shown in Figure 82-5.

Luteinizing Function of Luteinizing Hormone. The change of granulosa and theca interna cells into lutein cells is dependent mainly on LH secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. In fact, this function gives LH its name— “luteinizing,” for “yellowing.” Luteinization also depends on extrusion of the ovum from the follicle. A yet unchar- acterized local hormone in the follicular fluid, called luteinization-inhibiting factor, seems to hold the lutein- ization process in check until after ovulation

Once LH (mainly that secreted during the ovulatory surge) has acted on the granulosa and theca cells to cause luteinization, the newly formed lutein cells seem to be programmed to go through a preordained sequence of (1) proliferation, (2) enlarge- ment, and (3) secretion, followed by (4) degeneration. All this occurs in about 12 days

Involution of the Corpus Luteum and Onset of the Next Ovarian Cycle. Estrogen in particular and proges- terone to a lesser extent, secreted by the corpus luteum during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle, have strong feedback effects on the anterior pituitary gland to main- tain low secretory rates of both FSH and LH. In addition, the lutein cells secrete small amounts of the hormone inhibin, the same as the inhibin secreted by the Sertoli cells of the male testes. This hormone inhibits FSH secretion by the anterior pituitary gland. Low blood concentrations of both FSH and LH result, and loss of these hormones finally causes the corpus luteum to degenerate completely, a process called involution of the corpus luteum.

Final involution normally occurs at the end of almost exactly 12 days of corpus luteum life, which is around the 26th day of the normal female sexual cycle, 2 days before menstruation begins. At this time, the sudden cessation of secretion of estrogen, progesterone, and inhibin by the corpus luteum removes the feedback inhibition of the anterior pituitary gland, allowing it to begin secreting increasing amounts of FSH and LH again. FSH and LH initiate the growth of new follicles, beginning a new ovarian cycle. The paucity of secretion of progesterone and estrogen at this time also leads to menstruation by the uterus, which will be explained later

During synthesis, mainly progesterone and androgens (testosterone and androstenedione) are synthesized first; then, during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle, before these two initial hormones can leave the ovaries, almost all the androgens and much of the progesterone are converted into estrogens by the enzyme aromatase in the granulosa cells. Because the theca cells lack aro- matase, they cannot convert androgens to estrogens. However, androgens diffuse out of the theca cells into the adjacent granulosa cells, where they are converted to estrogens by aromatase, the activity of which is stimulated by FSH (

Functions of the Liver in Estrogen Degradation. The liver conjugates the estrogens to form glucuronides and sulfates, and about one fifth of these conjugated products is excreted in the bile; most of the remainder is excreted in the urine. Also, the liver converts the potent estrogens estradiol and estrone into the almost totally impotent estrogen estriol. Therefore, diminished liver function actually increases the activity of estrogens in the body, sometimes causing hyperestrinism.

Fate of Progesterone. Within a few minutes after secre- tion, almost all the progesterone is degraded to other steroids that have no progestational effect. As with the estrogens, the liver is especially important for this meta- bolic degradation. The major end product of progesterone degradation is pregnanediol. About 10 percent of the original progester- one is excreted in the urine in this form. Therefore, one can estimate the rate of progesterone formation in the body from the rate of this excretion

Effect of Estrogens on the Uterus and External

Female Sex Organs. During childhood, estrogens are secreted only in minute quantities, but at puberty, the quantity secreted in the female under the influence of the pituitary gonadotropic hormones increases 20-fold or more. At this time, the female sex organs change from those of a child to those of an adult. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina all increase several times in size. Also, the external genitalia enlarge, with deposition of fat in the mons pubis and labia majora and enlargement of the labia minora

In addition, estrogens change the vaginal epithelium from a cuboidal into a stratified type, which is consider- ably more resistant to trauma and infection than is the prepubertal cuboidal cell epithelium. Vaginal infections in children can often be cured by the administration of estrogens simply because of the resulting increased resis- tance of the vaginal epithelium

Estrogens cause marked proliferation of the endometrial stroma and greatly increased development of the endometrial glands, which will later aid in providing nutrition to the implanted ovum. These effects are dis- cussed later in the chapter in connection with the endo- metrial cycle

Effect of Estrogens on the Fallopian Tubes. The estrogens’ effects on the mucosal lining of the fallopian tubes are similar to their effects on the uterine endome- trium. They cause the glandular tissues of this lining to proliferate, and especially important, they cause the number of ciliated epithelial cells that line the fallo- pian tubes to increase. Also, activity of the cilia is con- siderably enhanced. These cilia always beat toward the uterus, which helps propel the fertilized ovum in that direction

Effect of Estrogens on the Breasts. The primordial breasts of females and males are exactly alike. In fact, under the influence of appropriate hormones, the mascu- line breast during the first 2 decades of life can develop sufficiently to produce milk in the same manner as the female breast. Estrogens cause (1) development of the stromal tissues of the breasts, (2) growth of an extensive ductile system, and (3) deposition of fat in the breasts. The lobules and alveoli of the breast develop to a slight extent under the influence of estrogens alone, but it is progesterone and prolactin that cause the ultimate determinative growth and function of these structures. In summary, the estrogens initiate growth of the breasts and of the milk-producing apparatus. They are also responsible for the characteristic growth and external appearance of the mature female breast. However, they do not complete the job of converting the breasts into milk-producing organs

Effect of Estrogens on the Skeleton. Estrogens inhibit osteoclastic activity in the bones and therefore stimulate bone growth. As discussed in Chapter 80, at least part of this effect is due to stimulation of osteoprotegerin, which is also called osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor, a cyto- kine that inhibits bone resorption. At puberty, when the female enters her reproductive years, her growth in height becomes rapid for several years. However, estrogens have another potent effect on skeletal growth: They cause uniting of the epiphyses with the shafts of the long bones. This effect of estrogen in the female is much stronger than the similar effect of testos- terone in the male. As a result, growth of the female usually ceases several years earlier than growth of the male. A female eunuch who is devoid of estrogen produc- tion usually grows several inches taller than a normal mature female because her epiphyses do not unite at the normal time

Osteoporosis of the Bones Caused by Estrogen Deficiency in Old Age. After menopause, almost no estrogens are secreted by the ovaries. This estrogen defi- ciency leads to (1) increased osteoclastic activity in the bones, (2) decreased bone matrix, and (3) decreased deposition of bone calcium and phosphate. In some women this effect is extremely severe, and the resulting condition is osteoporosis, described in Chapter 80. Because osteoporosis can greatly weaken the bones and lead to bone fracture, especially fracture of the vertebrae, many postmenopausal women are treated prophylactically with estrogen replacement to prevent the osteoporotic effects

Estrogens Slightly Increase Protein Deposition. Estro- gens cause a slight increase in total body protein, which is evidenced by a slight positive nitrogen balance when estrogens are administered. This effect mainly results from the growth-promoting effect of estrogen on the sexual organs, the bones, and a few other tissues of the body. The enhanced protein deposition caused by testos- terone is much more general and much more powerful than that caused by estrogens

Estrogens Increase Body Metabolism and Fat Depo- sition. Estrogens increase the whole-body metabolic rate slightly, but only about one third as much as the increase caused by the male sex hormone testosterone. Estrogens also cause deposition of increased quantities of fat in the subcutaneous tissues. As a result, the percentage of body fat in the female body is considerably greater than that in the male body, which contains more protein. In addition to deposition of fat in the breasts and subcutaneous tissues, estrogens cause the deposition of fat in the but- tocks and thighs, which is characteristic of the feminine figure.

Estrogens Have Little Effect on Hair Distribution.

Estrogens do not greatly affect hair distribution. However, hair does develop in the pubic region and in the axillae after puberty. Androgens formed in increased quantities by the female adrenal glands after puberty are mainly responsible for this development of hair

Effect of Estrogens on the Skin. Estrogens cause the skin to develop a texture that is soft and usually smooth, but even so, the skin of a woman is thicker than that of a child or a castrated female. Estrogens also cause the skin to become more vascular, which is often associated with increased warmth of the skin and also promotes greater bleeding of cut surfaces than is observed in men

Effect of Estrogens on Electrolyte Balance. The chemical similarity of estrogenic hormones to adrenocor- tical hormones has been pointed out. Estrogens, like aldo- sterone and some other adrenocortical hormones, cause sodium and water retention by the kidney tubules. This effect of estrogens is normally slight and rarely of signifi- cance, but during pregnancy the tremendous formation of estrogens by the placenta may contribute to body fluid retention

FUNCTIONS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone Promotes Secretory Changes in the Uterus. A major function of progesterone is to promote secretory changes in the uterine endometrium during the latter half of the monthly female sexual cycle, thus prepar- ing the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum. This function is discussed later in connection with the endometrial cycle of the uterus. In addition to this effect on the endometrium, proges- terone decreases the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, thereby helping to prevent expulsion of the implanted ovum

Progesterone Promotes Development of the Breasts. Progesterone promotes development of the lobules and alveoli of the breasts, causing the alveolar cells to prolifer- ate, enlarge, and become secretory. However, progester- one does not cause the alveoli to secrete milk; as discussed in Chapter 83, milk is secreted only after the prepared breast is further stimulated by prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland. Progesterone also causes the breasts to swell. Part of this swelling is due to the secretory development in the lobules and alveoli, but part also results from increased fluid in the tissue
