- Description:
- Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Computed tomography (CT) assessments of sarcopenia utilize measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (SMA), radiation attenuation (SMRA), intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), and skeletal muscle gauge (SMG). Unadjusted SMA is strongly correlated with both height and body mass index (BMI); therefore, SMA must be adjusted for body size to assess sarcopenic low muscle mass fairly in individuals of different heights and BMI. SMA/height (rather than SMA/height^2) provides optimal height adjustment for skeletal muscle index (SMI), and vertebra-specific relative muscle index (RMI) equations optimally adjust for both height and BMI. Since L3 measurement is not available in all CT scans, sarcopenic low muscle mass may be assessed using other levels. Both a mid-vertebral slice and an inferior slice have been used to define `L3 SMA', but the effect of vertebral slice location on SMA measurements is unexplored. Healthy reference values for skeletal muscle measures at mid- and inferior vertebra slices between T10 and L5, have not yet been reported.

- Description:
- THE DATA: Unfortunately, we are unable to share our data for this project. Since we were working with a vulnerable population (children), we were asked by Queens University Belfast’s IRB-equivalent to include language in the consent documents indicating that the data would not be shared outside of the research team. Thus, the datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are not publicly available as participants were informed that no-one outside of the research team would have access to the research data when they signed their consent forms. Thus, we provide Stata, R and Mplus scripts used to generate all tables and figures reported in the paper. Since we cannot share the raw study data, most of these files cannot be run, but in the interest of transparency we include the scripts so that our code can be checked. Since a major portion of the paper is the LTA modeling, we took an additional step there and generated simulated data that allows the R+Mplus scripts to be run. These runnable scripts and the simulated data are contained in the subfolder LTA_code_EXEC.

- Description:
- Data deposited here includes 60 image sets (30 individual participants, and 2 eyes per individual) consisting of raw fluorescence images, diffuse reflection images using ambient lighting, images used for correction, and calibration, and metadata. Images are split into two wavelength bands as described in the methodology. Raw images are stored in Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) file nodes (one file per eye) and each image node contains a tag for frame rate, exposure duration, and timestamp (stored in ImageData.zip). Summary statistics including demographic data, participant-reported diseases (e.g., diabetes, keratoconus), and pupil size are also stored in a text-based comma-separated table and as an Excel spreadsheet. Finally, 2-channel pseudocolor images and ratiometric grayscale images combining the two fully-processed image bands are stored as portable network graphics (PNG) files (stored in PseudocolorImages.zip).

- Description:
- The purpose of this research is to compare levels of unprenylated Rab proteins in CHM-/- iPSC-RPE cells with and without compactin. Compactin is a statin that inhibits prenyl synthesis and thereby reduces prenylation overall and has an unbiased inhibitory effect on all protein prenylation. So we expect that for Rabs that are already poorly prenylated at baseline in choroideremia RPE cells, compactin will have minimal effect. However, for Rabs that are efficiently prenylated at baseline, compactin should have a much greater effect. And then we used tandem mass tag spectrometry to compare the ratio of each unprenylated Rab in compactin-treated choroideremia cells vs untreated choroideremia cells. In the spreadsheet, "F8" refers to the CHM-/- iPSC-RPE cells and "WT" refers to the isogenic control iPSC-RPE cells. In the "Proteins only" tab, column M shows the ratio of each protein in "DMSO" (untreated) choroideremia cells compared to Compactin-treated choroideremia cells. Compactin-treated control cells are also included in other columns. Untreated control cells could not be used because prenylation is so efficient in these cells, there is almost no material available after doing the in vitro prenylation assay (i.e. almost no unprenylated proteins to biotinylate). The column descriptions can be found in the sheet titled "Explanations." In addition, AAs= number of amino acids in the protein, MW= molecular weight of the protein, and pI= isoelectric point. The software is set to report abundance values only when certain criteria are met (S/N of 6, unique peptide etc). A value is NOT reported when the data for a protein fall below these criteria and the cell is instead left blank.

Lu-177 DOTATATE Anonymized Patient Datasets
User Collection
- Creator:
- Dewaraja, Yuni K and Van, Benjamin J
- Description:
- This collection is comprised of a number of works that collectively represent the imaging studies and information necessary for dosimetric analysis of a patient treated with Lutathera. All works may be used as standalone datasets or in conjunction with the others in this collection depending on the analysis performed. Files are stored using the DICOM standard widely accepted for storage and transmission of medical images and related information. All patient private information has been anonymized using MIM commercial software (MIM Software Inc.). Data from 2 patients, referred to as patient 4 and patient 6, has been provided in this collection and is divided among 6 works as outlined below:, 1) Pre-Therapy Diagnostic Images. Description: Patient diagnostic scans performed prior to Lutathera treatment. Used for identifying lesions and measuring progression. Note that the date of the baseline scan may be several months before the Lutathera treatment and changes in the anatomy are possible. Files: (1) Ga68 Dotatate PET/CT, Either: (1) MRI, (1) standalone diagnostic CT, 2) Planar Whole Body Scans. Description: Planar whole body Lu-177 scans taken at 4 time points within a week after treatment. Two views (Anterior and Posterior) and 3 energy windows (one main window at 208 keV and 2 adjacent scatter windows) are available for each time point. The units of this image is counts. Energy window information, acquisition data/time and duration can be found in DICOM header. Files: (6) individual images at each time point (24 total images per patient) , 3) SPECT/CT Scans. Description: Lu-177 SPECT/CT scans at 4 time points within a week after treatment (same time points as the planar scans). Images were acquired on a Siemens Intevo system and reconstructed using xSPECT Quant. The units of this image is Bq/mL. Information on the reconstruction, acquisition date/time, duration, Lu-177 administration time and activity can be found in the DICOM header. Files: (1) Folder with reconstructed SPECT slices per time point (4 folders total per patient), (1) Folder containing co-registered CT slices per time point (4 folders total per patient), 4) Lesion and Organ Volumes of Interest. Description: DICOM RT structure files containing organ and lesion volumes of interest (VOI) that were defined on the CT of the scan1 SPECT/CT in 3). Organs were defined using semi-automatic tools (atlas based and CNN-based) while lesions were defined manually by a radiologist guided by baseline scans. Only lesions >2 cc were defined. Files: (1) File containing organ contours, (1) File containing lesion contours, 5) Time Integrated Activity Maps. Description: A DICOM file containing the time-integrated activity map over all 4 time points within a week after treatment. This combines the SPECT/CT scans provided in 3) into a single integrated activity map. This map was generated via the MIM MRT Dosimetry package: The 4 time points were registered to the reference SPECT scan (time point 1) using a contour intensity based SPECT alignment and the voxel-level time-activity data was fit using exponential functions. Voxel-level integration was performed to generate the TIA map. The units of this image is Bq/mL * sec. Files: (1) Folder with Time-integrated activity image per patient, and 6) Projection Data and CT based Attenuation Coefficient Maps. Description: SPECT projection data for each of the 4 Lutathera scans taken within a week after treatment is provided in 3 forms: unaltered, Siemens [Reformatted], and Siemens [Advanced]. The difference between the Projections and the [Advanced] Projections is that the [Advanced] consists of uncorrected raw projection data and the other the corrected projection data (e.g. camera uniformity corrections). The [Advanced] projections are used in xSPECT reconstruction (where all corrections are done during the reconstruction), while the other is used in Flash 3D reconstruction. CT-based attenuation coefficient maps (mumaps) are provided for each of the 4 scans taken within a week after treatment. Two methods are provided for each mumap: xSPECT and F3D as the matrix size is different for the 2 cases (256 x 256 for xSPECT and 128 x 128 for Flash3D). Files: (3) Folders containing raw SPECT projections, (2) Folders containing CT attenuation coefficient maps (mumaps)

- Description:
- Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of cranial bones. The goal of this study was to determine if delivery of recombinant tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) could prevent or diminish the severity of craniosynostosis in a C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ model of neonatal onset craniosynostosis or a BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ model of postnatal onset craniosynostosis. Mice were injected with a lentivirus encoding a mineral targeted form of TNAP immediately after birth. Cranial bone fusion as well as cranial bone volume, mineral content and density were assessed by micro computed tomography. Craniofacial shape was measured with calipers., Alkaline phosphatase, alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) activity levels were measured in serum. Neonatal delivery of TNAP diminished craniosynostosis severity from 94% suture obliteration in vehicle treated mice to 67% suture obliteration in treated mice, p<0.02) and the incidence of malocclusion from 82.4% to 34.7% (p<0.03), with no effect on cranial bone in C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ mice. In contrast, treatment with TNAP improved cranial bone volume (p< 0.01), density (p< 0.01) and mineral content (p< 0.01) but had no effect on craniosynostosis or malocclusion in BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ mice. , These results indicate that post-natal recombinant TNAP enzyme therapy diminishes craniosynostosis severity in the C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ neonatal onset mouse model of Crouzon syndrome, and that effects of exogenous TNAP are genetic background dependent., and Included in this collection is one set of images representing the C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ model of neonatal onset craniosynostosis, and one for the BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ model of postnatal onset craniosynostosis
