- 2015 Relaunch as Open Access Pediatric Neurology Briefs
- Abstract:
- Pediatric Neurology Briefs (PNB) has been published monthly since 1987 as a continuing education service designed to expedite and facilitate review of current medical literature concerning pediatric neurology. In 2015, PNB is relaunched as an open access, peer-reviewed, journal with an expanded editorial board. PNB has a new website and content management system capable of organizing peer-review and providing improved indexing, DOI assignment, and online full-text article view. Digitization of back issues, archiving, and inclusion in PubMed are future goals. The new online open access PNB aims to reach more physicians, researchers, and other healthcare providers with highlights of the latest advances in pediatric neurology and commentaries by specialists in the field.

- Abstract:
- This 3D-printed copper salt structure can be used in many ways. Here, it floats in a jar of water. The water dissolves the copper salt, resulting in a blue color, and transforming the structure into a very porous sponge-like material. When the salt has been completely dissolved, a polymer skeleton remains. This skeleton resembles the original 3D-printed shape but is incredibly light, like air.Creating materials like these is important because the "polymer skeletons sponge" can be used to implant all kinds of potent gel and liquid biomaterials during surgery. These fragile gels are currently being used to regenerate parts of tissues and organs.

- 3D-Printed hyperelastic bone spine
- Description:
- 2016 Second Place, This is a photograph of a human spine section, but these bones were 3D printed. This printed spine is smaller than in real life, but it is made almost entirely of the same mineral found in our bones (called hydroxyapatite). While we think of our bones as hard, here the same material is flexible and even elastic. This flexibility makes it easier and safer for surgeons to implant, and easier and faster for patients to heal. This new bone material -- called Hyperelastic Bone -- can help the body rapidly repair and regenerate damaged or missing bone.

- A "Hole" New Method for Sperm Storage
- Description:
- 2019 Fifth Place, Northwestern Scientific Images Contest. Cancer treatments, while life preserving, can threaten fertility. Fertility preservation can be challenging in males with conditions of extremely low germ cell numbers or in those who have undergone testicular or epididymal biopsy where there may be limited numbers of immature germ cells. A significant clinical hurdle is the storage and recovery of small numbers of sperm. We engineered an oocyte-derived biomaterial the zona pellucida (ZP) to function as a sperm safe for storing sperm. The ZP is a glycoprotein matrix that surrounds the mammalian oocyte. Using a piezo drill, we made a small hole in the ZP and mechanically separated it from the oocyte cytoplasm and then further removed cellular material using a decellularization process. This images shows two deceullarized sperm safes imaged by scanning electron microscopy. The holes in which sperm are deposited within the sperm safes are clearly visible.

- A clade of SARS-CoV-2 viruses associated with lower viral loads in patient upper airways

- Abstract:
- Background: The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been accompanied by the emergence of distinct viral clades, though their clinical significance remains unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the phylogenetic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Chicago, Illinois, and assess their relationship to clinical parameters. Methods: We performed whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 isolates collected from COVID-19 patients in Chicago in mid-March, 2020. Using these and other publicly available sequences, we performed phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and phylodynamic analyses. Patient data was assessed for correlations between demographic or clinical characteristics and virologic features. Findings: The 88 SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences in our study separated into three distinct phylogenetic clades. Clades 1 and 3 were most closely related to viral sequences from New York and Washington state, respectively, with relatively broad distributions across the US. Clade 2 was primarily found in the Chicago area with limited distribution elsewhere. At the time of diagnosis, patients infected with Clade 1 viruses had significantly higher average viral loads in their upper airways relative to patients infected with Clade 2 viruses, independent of disease severity. Interpretation: These results show that multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2 were circulating in the Chicago area in mid-March 2020 that differed in their relative viral loads in patient upper airways. These data suggest that differences in virus genotype can impact viral load and may influence viral spread.

260. A Crystal of Bubbles
- Title:
- A Crystal of Bubbles
- Description:
- 2019 Second Place, Northwestern Scientific Images Contest. We have all made bubbles by blowing air on a bubble wand dipped in a soap solution. Here, we make many small bubbles of uniform size by slowly injecting air into soapy water. The bubbles then arrange themselves in a uniform pattern-this is exactly how atoms arrange to form crystals. In fact, such bubble rafts were first used in 1940 to understand how crystals form. In this image, we see a single layer of bubbles arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The peculiar patterns are locations with two layers of bubbles sitting atop each other. Atomic crystals also show such irregular patterns, known as crystal defects.

- A Framework for Maintaining a Fully Operational Autopsy Service at a Large Academic Teaching Institution During a Global Pandemic
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Fu L, Zak T, Shanes E. A Framework for Maintaining a Fully Operational Autopsy Service at a Large Academic Teaching Institution During a Global Pandemic. Academic Pathology. 2021;8:8.
- Abstract:
- The COVID-19 pandemic created new challenges in health care, and pathology departments have led with innovations in testing and education. While the medical community and public showed great interest in gross and histologic findings in COVID-affected patients, paradoxically many autopsy services nationwide closed due to uncertainties surrounding the proximity to infected patient tissue, shortages in personal protective equipment, and pressures to discontinue perceived nonessential hospital operations. These disruptions furthermore negatively impacted pathology trainee education. The autopsy division at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, with the belief that a fully functioning autopsy service is especially crucial at this time, adopted a framework for continuing at full capacity for both clinical care and education. New operations were modeled on national protocols by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the College of American Pathologists, and the service continually adjusted policies to reflect rapidly changing guidelines and feedback from trainees and staff. Between January and December 2020, we performed 182 adult autopsies including 45 COVID-19 autopsies. Twelve residents, 4 staff, and 5 attendings rotated through the service. In exit interviews, participants expressed: (1) improved comfort managing both COVID-related and general autopsies; (2) sense of personal safety on service (despite the increased risk of exposure); (3) belief that both COVID-related and general autopsies contributed to their personal education and to the medical community. There have been zero known autopsy-related COVID-19 infections to date. We hope that our innovative autopsy service restructuring can serve as a framework for other academic programs during the current and in future pandemics.

- A genuine layer 4 in motor cortex with prototypical synaptic circuit connectivity

- Abstract:
- The motor cortex (M1) is classically considered an agranular area, lacking a distinct layer 4 (L4). Here, we tested the idea that M1, despite lacking a cytoarchitecturally visible L4, nevertheless possesses its equivalent in the form of excitatory neurons with inputoutput circuits like those of the L4 neurons in sensory areas. Consistent with this idea, we found that neurons located in a thin laminar zone at the L3/5A border in the forelimb area of mouse M1 have multiple L4-like synaptic connections: excitatory input from thalamus, largely unidirectional excitatory outputs to L2/3 pyramidal neurons, and relatively weak long-range corticocortical inputs and outputs. M1-L4 neurons were electrophysiologically diverse but morphologically uniform, with pyramidal-type dendritic arbors and locally ramifying axons, including branches extending into L2/3. Our findings therefore identify pyramidal neurons in M1 with the expected prototypical circuit properties of excitatory L4 neurons, and question the traditional assumption that motor cortex lacks this layer.

- A journal article tag suite (JATS) extension to support NISO's recommended practices for online supplemental journal article materials
- Description:
- This presentation was given on 04/01/2014 at JATSCon in Bethesda, Maryland.
- Abstract:
- This paper discusses our experience of creating an extension for JATS that incorporates the NISO "Recommended Practices for Online Supplemental Journal Article Materials" (NISO RP-2013). We will discuss our analysis of the recommendations and our comparison of the recommendations with JATS, as well as our thrashing over language and terminology associated with supplementary materials and our eventual creation of the extension. The extension is not part of the official JATS specification; it is a local extension that will be made publicly available for community use and discussion.

- A Library Evolving: providing research impact and evaluation services
- Description:
- Poster presented at the American Evaluation Association Annual International Conference, Chicago, IL 2015. Presented on 11/11/2015.
- Abstract:
- In early 2014, Northwestern University’s Galter Library began implementing a cohesive set of services around research evaluation and impact assessment, formally structured in the library as the Metrics and Impact Core (MIC). Many of the MIC services utilize the library’s expertise in bibliographic data, which can be mined, analyzed and visualized using a variety of techniques to gain a better understanding research impact. This poster will discuss the operationalization of these services from the standpoint of a modern medical library and present the partnerships, resources and tools needed to make this vision a reality. We will discuss the types of reports and activities we’ve developed to suit the needs of our stakeholders using bibliographic data, and the challenges and successes we’ve found along the way.

- We are developing an end-to-end training program that introduces clinician researchers to clinical database architecture and clinical coding standards, teaches them how to translate their research questions into queries that will allow them to extract data properly, and how to do so in a way that supports transparency and reproducibility while still respecting guidelines for proper data sharing. This work builds on longstanding partnerships with the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse (NMEDW) through which we promote improved communication and collaboration between data analysts and clinical researchers to make them better partners in research projects. We also provide workflows for preservation and reusability of research reports through our next-generation research data management (RDM) system. Our ultimate goal is to bolster support for our local research community to use clinical research data from the NMEDW and also parlay this experience to develop a blueprint of best practice workflows that could be applied in libraries at other institutions.

A method for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in healthy human stool: a validation study. Lancet Microbe. 2021;2(6):E259-E266.
- Abstract:
- Background Faecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 has raised concerns about transmission through faecal microbiota transplantation procedures. Validation parameters of authorised tests for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in respiratory samples are described in product labelling, whereas the published methods for SARS-CoV-2 detection from faecal samples have not permitted a robust description of the assay parameters. We aimed to develop and validate a test specifically for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in human stool. Methods In this validation study, we evaluated performance characteristics of a reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (RT-rtPCR) test for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in human stool specimens by spiking stool with inactivated SARS-CoV-2 material. A modified version of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention RT-rtPCR SARS-CoV-2 test was used for detection of viral RNA. Analytical sensitivity was evaluated in freshly spiked stool by testing two-fold dilutions in replicates of 20. Masked samples were tested by a second laboratory to evaluate interlaboratory reproducibility. Short-term (7-day) stability of viral RNA in stool samples was assessed with four different stool storage buffers (phosphate-buffered saline, Cary-Blair medium, Stool Transport and Recovery [STAR] buffer, and DNA/RNA Shield) kept at -80 degrees C, 4 degrees C, and ambient temperature (approximately 21 degrees C). We also tested clinical stool and anal swab specimens from patients who were SARS-CoV-2 positive by nasopharyngeal testing. Findings The lower limit of detection of the assay was found to be 3000 viral RNA copies per g of original stool sample, with 100% detection across 20 replicates assessed at this concentration. Analytical sensitivity was diminished by approximately two times after a single freeze-thaw cycle at -80 degrees C. At 100 times the limit of detection, spiked samples were generally stable in all four stool storage buffers tested for up to 7 days, with maximum changes in mean threshold cycle values observed at -80 degrees C storage in Cary-Blair medium (from 29.4 [SD 0.27] at baseline to 30.8 [0.17] at day 7; p<0.0001), at 4 degrees C storage in DNA/RNA Shield (from 28.5 [0.15] to 29.8 [0.09]; p=0.0019), and at ambient temperature in STAR buffer (from 30.4 [0.24] to 32.4 [0.62]; p=0.0083). 30 contrived SARS-CoV-2 samples were tested by a second laboratory and were correctly identified as positive or negative in at least one of two rounds of testing. Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected using this assay in the stool and anal swab specimens of 11 of 23 individuals known to be positive for SARS-CoV-2. Interpretation This is a sensitive and reproducible assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in human stool, with potential uses in faecal microbiota transplantation donor screening, sewage monitoring, and further research into the effects of faecal shedding on the epidemiology of the COVID-19 pandemic.

- A qualitative synthesis of narrative research in spinal cord injury rehabilitation

- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Haywood, C. (2015). A qualitative synthesis of narrative research in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. Explorer, 7, 55.
- Abstract:
- Background: A ubiquitous challenge in rehabilitation and disability research is rooted in the methods by which experiences are defined. With quantitative measures dominating the gold standards of rehabilitation research, individuals feelings, functions, and experiences are typically outlined in uniform surveys or assessment scales. By default, this means that a personis limited to reporting only within the range of values provided. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to examine narrative research on the lived experiences of individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) in order to determine how the existing body of qualitative research can inform rehabilitation practices for thispopulation. Methods: A qualitative synthesis was performed using modified versions of the methods outlined by Thomas and Harden (2008) and Walsh and Downe (2005). The methods were divided into four stages: (1) framing and initiating the literaturesearch with ongoing appraisal of findings, (2) categorical and thematic analysis of individual studies, (3) translation of themesamong studies, and (4) development of meta themes. Thirty-eight articles with an analysis of narrative data from SCI survivors were reviewed. Results: The synthesis of these publications generated strong evidence for implications of SCIs, which extended beyondtraditional models of rehabilitative care to affect identity and engagement in daily life. Though individual experiences after a SCI vary, this synthesis revealed the potential of a SCI to significantly shift ones position, perspectives, and priorities in life. Conclusion: The collection of narratives and overarching themes illustrate the value of narrative data for research and intervention development for individuals with a SCI.

- A retrospective look at the predictions and recommendations from the 2009 AMIA Policy Meeting: Slides and Data
- Description:
- Slides and raw data for paper discussing whether current burnout crisis could have been predicted.
- Abstract:
- Clinicians often attribute much of their burnout experience to use of the electronic health record (EHR), the adoption of which was greatly accelerated by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) of 2009. That same year AMIAs Policy Meeting focused on possible unintended consequences associated with rapid implementation of EHRs, generating 17 potential consequences and 15 recommendations to address them. At the 2020 annual meeting of the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI), ACMI fellows participated in a modified Delphi process to assess the accuracy of the 2009 predictions and the response to the recommendations. Among the findings, the fellows concluded that the degree of clinician burnout and its contributing factors such as increased documentation requirements were significantly underestimated. Conversely, problems related to identify theft and fraud were overestimated. Only three of the 15 recommendations were adjudged more than half addressed.

- A SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System in Sub-Saharan Africa: Modeling Study for Persistence and Transmission to Inform Policy

A SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System in Sub-Saharan Africa: Modeling Study for Persistence and Transmission to Inform Policy. Journal of Medical Internet Research. 2020;22(11):18.
- Abstract:
- Background: Since the novel coronavirus emerged in late 2019, the scientific and public health community around the world have sought to better understand, surveil, treat, and prevent the disease, COVID-19. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), many countries responded aggressively and decisively with lockdown measures and border closures. Such actions may have helped prevent large outbreaks throughout much of the region, though there is substantial variation in caseloads and mortality between nations. Additionally, the health system infrastructure remains a concern throughout much of SSA, and the lockdown measures threaten to increase poverty and food insecurity for the subcontinent's poorest residents. The lack of sufficient testing, asymptomatic infections, and poor reporting practices in many countries limit our understanding of the virus's impact, creating a need for better and more accurate surveillance metrics that account for under-reporting and data contamination. Objective: The goal of this study is to improve infectious disease surveillance by complementing standardized metrics with new and decomposable surveillance metrics of COVID-19 that overcome data limitations and contamination inherent in public health surveillance systems. In addition to prevalence of observed daily and cumulative testing, testing positivity rates, morbidity, and mortality, we derived COVID-19 transmission in terms of speed, acceleration or deceleration, change in acceleration or deceleration (jerk), and 7-day transmission rate persistence, which explains where and how rapidly COVID-19 is transmitting and quantifies shifts in the rate of acceleration or deceleration to inform policies to mitigate and prevent COVID-19 and food insecurity in SSA. Methods: We extracted 60 days of COVID-19 data from public health registries and employed an empirical difference equation to measure daily case numbers in 47 sub-Saharan countries as a function of the prior number of cases, the level of testing, and weekly shift variables based on a dynamic panel model that was estimated using the generalized method of moments approach by implementing the Arellano-Bond estimator in R. Results: Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and South Africa have the most observed cases of COVID-19, and the Seychelles, Eritrea, Mauritius, Comoros, and Burundi have the fewest. In contrast, the speed, acceleration, jerk, and 7-day persistence indicate rates of COVID-19 transmissions differ from observed cases. In September 2020, Cape Verde, Namibia, Eswatini, and South Africa had the highest speed of COVID-19 transmissions at 13.1, 7.1, 3.6, and 3 infections per 100,0000, respectively; Zimbabwe had an acceleration rate of transmission, while Zambia had the largest rate of deceleration this week compared to last week, referred to as ajerk. Finally, the 7-day persistence rate indicates the number of cases on September 15, 2020, which are a function of new infections from September 8, 2020, decreased in South Africa from 216.7 to 173.2 and Ethiopia from 136.7 to 106.3 per 100,000. The statistical approach was validated based on the regression results; they determined recent changes in the pattern of infection, and during the weeks of September 1-8 and September 9-15, there were substantial country differences in the evolution of the SSA pandemic. This change represents a decrease in the transmission model R value for that week and is consistent with a de-escalation in the pandemic for the sub-Saharan African continent in general. Conclusions: Standard surveillance metrics such as daily observed new COVID-19 cases or deaths are necessary but insufficient to mitigate and prevent COVID-19 transmission. Public health leaders also need to know where COVID-19 transmission rates are accelerating or decelerating, whether those rates increase or decrease over short time frames because the pandemic can quickly escalate, and how many cases today are a function of new infections 7 days ago. Even though SSA is home to some of the poorest countries in the world, development and population size are not necessarily predictive of COVID-19 transmission, meaning higher income countries like the United States can learn from African countries on how best to implement mitigation and prevention efforts.

- 2016 Fourth Place, This image shows shrublands in Somalia from high above. Two images from 1952 (purple) and 2006 (green) are overlaid here for comparison. The colors highlight the large communities of shrubs and grasses which grow in bands along this sloping landscape. Over the fifty years shown here, all the vegetation has moved uphill - the green bands of modern plant growth are further up the hillside than the purple bands from 1952. This is clear visual evidence that ecosystems like this change over time. Mathematician Karna Gowda measures and models these changes to understand how these dynamic ecosystems function and change.

- Title:
- A SWOT Analysis of Oncofertility: Overcoming Resource Limitation to Fill an Ongoing Urgent Unmet Need
- Abstract:
- Resource wealth or absence defines access to many fields of science and medicine; the emerging field of oncofertility is one prime example of this resource and access dilemma. At the intersection of life and death, where life-limiting and life-producing events cross paths, the implicit contradictions of cancer and fertility have left men and women with limited choices, until recently. As the field of oncofertility expands, it was realized that many intellectual and practice based resource issues have equal or greater impact on access to care as insurance and reimbursement. Indeed, the contrasting emotions and expectations of practitioners and patients, together with a continued paucity of scientific knowledge about fertility in the cancer setting and the lack of clinical assessment of reproductive outcomes for adolescents and young adults, represent some of the boundary conditions to increase access to oncofertility. When these barriers are scaled up to the global setting, the need for advocacy and leadership from multiple organizations and individuals becomes urgent. To better understand this uniquely defined resource landscape, we conducted an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) faced by global oncofertility a SWOT analysis to better understand the current state of the field and to create multimodal interventions that may provide a roadmap for the future of this discipline.

- Abstract:
- We currently find ourselves in the midst of a global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the highly infectious novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Here, we discuss aspects of SARS-CoV-2 biology and pathology and how these might interact with the circadian clock of the host. We further focus on the severe manifestation of the illness, leading to hospitalization in an intensive care unit. The most common severe complications of COVID-19 relate to clock-regulated human physiology. We speculate on how the pandemic might be used to gain insights on the circadian clock but, more importantly, on how knowledge of the circadian clock might be used to mitigate the disease expression and the clinical course of COVID-19.
