Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) data debriefing and clinical research often require the retrospective analysis of large datasets containing defibrillator files from different vendors and clinical annotations by the emergency medical services. AIM To introduce and evaluate a methodology to automatically extract cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality data in a uniform and systematic way from OHCA datasets from multiple heterogeneous sources. METHODS A dataset of 2236 OHCA cases from multiple defibrillator models and manufacturers was analyzed. Chest compressions were automatically identified using the thoracic impedance and compression depth signals. Device event time-stamps and clinical annotations were used to set the start and end of the analysis interval, and to identify periods with spontaneous circulation. A manual audit of the automatic annotations was conducted and used as gold standard. Chest compression fraction (CCF), rate (CCR) and interruption ratio were computed as CPR quality variables. The unsigned error between the automated procedure and the gold standard was calculated. RESULTS Full-episode median errors below 2% in CCF, 1 min-1 in CCR, and 1.5% in interruption ratio, were measured for all signals and devices. The proportion of cases with large errors (>10% in CCF and interruption ratio, and >10 min-1 in CCR) was below 10%. Errors were lower for shorter sub-intervals of interest, like the airway insertion interval. CONCLUSIONS An automated methodology was validated to accurately compute CPR metrics in large and heterogeneous OHCA datasets. Automated processing of defibrillator files and the associated clinical annotations enables the aggregation and analysis of CPR data from multiple sources.

Abstract
RATIONALE Colonic high-resolution manometry (cHRM) is an emerging clinical tool for defining colonic function in health and disease. Current analysis methods are conducted manually, thus being inefficient and open to interpretation bias. OBJECTIVE The main objective of the study was to build an automated system to identify propagating contractions and compare the performance to manual marking analysis. METHODS cHRM recordings were performed on 5 healthy subjects, 3 subjects with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, and 3 subjects with slow transit constipation. Two experts manually identified propagating contractions, from five randomly selected 10-min segments from each of the 11 subjects (72 channels per dataset, total duration 550 min). An automated signal processing and detection platform was developed to compare its effectiveness to manually identified propagating contractions. In the algorithm, individual pressure events over a threshold were identified and were then grouped into a propagating contraction. The detection platform allowed user-selectable thresholds, and a range of pressure thresholds was evaluated (2 to 20 mmHg). KEY RESULTS The automated system was found to be reliable and accurate for analyzing cHRM with a threshold of 15 mmHg, resulting in a positive predictive value of 75%. For 5-h cHRM recordings, the automated method takes 22 ± 2 s for analysis, while manual identification would take many hours. CONCLUSIONS An automated framework was developed to filter, detect, quantify, and visualize propagating contractions in cHRM recordings in an efficient manner that is reliable and consistent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of the current study is to systematically review the literature addressing the use of automated methods to evaluate technical skills in surgery. BACKGROUND The classic apprenticeship model of surgical training includes subjective assessments of technical skill. However, automated methods to evaluate surgical technical skill have been recently studied. These automated methods are a more objective, versatile, and analytical way to evaluate a surgical trainee's technical skill. STUDY DESIGN A literature search of the Ovid Medline, Web of Science, and EMBASE Classic databases was performed. Articles evaluating automated methods for surgical technical skill assessment were abstracted. The quality of all included studies was assessed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument. RESULTS A total of 1715 articles were identified, 76 of which were selected for final analysis. An automated methods pathway was defined that included kinetics and computer vision data extraction methods. Automated methods included tool motion tracking, hand motion tracking, eye motion tracking, and muscle contraction analysis. Finally, machine learning, deep learning, and performance classification were used to analyse these methods. These methods of surgical skill assessment were used in the operating room and simulated environments. The average Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument score across all studies was 10.86 (maximum score of 18). CONCLUSIONS Automated methods for technical skill assessment is a growing field in surgical education. We found quality studies evaluating these techniques across many environments and surgeries. More research must be done to ensure these techniques are further verified and implemented in surgical curricula.

Abstract
Chemical shifts are highly sensitive probes harnessed by NMR spectroscopists and structural biologists as conformational parameters to characterize a range of biological molecules. Traditionally, assignment of chemical shifts has been a labor-intensive process requiring numerous samples and a suite of multidimensional experiments. Over the past two decades, the development of complementary computational approaches has bolstered the analysis, interpretation and utilization of chemical shifts for elucidation of high resolution protein and nucleic acid structures. Here, we review the development and application of chemical shift-based methods for structure determination with a focus on ab initio fragment assembly, comparative modeling, oligomeric systems, and automated assignment methods. Throughout our discussion, we point out practical uses, as well as advantages and caveats, of using chemical shifts in structure modeling. We additionally highlight (i) hybrid methods that employ chemical shifts with other types of NMR restraints (residual dipolar couplings, paramagnetic relaxation enhancements and pseudocontact shifts) that allow for improved accuracy and resolution of generated 3D structures, (ii) the utilization of chemical shifts to model the structures of sparsely populated excited states, and (iii) modeling of sidechain conformations. Finally, we briefly discuss the advantages of contemporary methods that employ sparse NMR data recorded using site-specific isotope labeling schemes for chemical shift-driven structure determination of larger molecules. With this review, we aim to emphasize the accessibility and versatility of chemical shifts for structure determination of challenging biological systems, and to point out emerging areas of development that lead us towards the next generation of tools.

Abstract
An automated multi-plug filtration cleanup (m-PFC) method on modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) extracts was developed. The automatic device was aimed to reduce labor-consuming manual operation workload in the cleanup steps. It could control the volume and the speed of pulling and pushing cycles accurately. In this work, m-PFC was based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed with other sorbents and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in a packed tip for analysis of pesticide multi-residues in crop commodities followed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) detection. It was validated by analyzing 25 pesticides in six representative matrices spiked at two concentration levels of 10 and 100μg/kg. Salts, sorbents, m-PFC procedure, automated pulling and pushing volume, automated pulling speed, and pushing speed for each matrix were optimized. After optimization, two general automated m-PFC methods were introduced to relatively simple (apple, citrus fruit, peanut) and relatively complex (spinach, leek, green tea) matrices. Spike recoveries were within 83 and 108% and 1-14% RSD for most analytes in the tested matrices. Matrix-matched calibrations were performed with the coefficients of determination >0.997 between concentration levels of 10 and 1000μg/kg. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of pesticide residues in market samples.

Abstract
Passive acoustic monitoring is emerging as a promising non-invasive proxy for ecological complexity with potential as a tool for remote assessment and monitoring (Sueur & Farina, 2015). Rather than attempting to recognise species-specific calls, either manually or automatically, there is a growing interest in evaluating the global acoustic environment. Positioned within the conceptual framework of ecoacoustics, a growing number of indices have been proposed which aim to capture community-level dynamics by (e.g., Pieretti, Farina & Morri, 2011; Farina, 2014; Sueur et al., 2008b) by providing statistical summaries of the frequency or time domain signal. Although promising, the ecological relevance and efficacy as a monitoring tool of these indices is still unclear. In this paper we suggest that by virtue of operating in the time or frequency domain, existing indices are limited in their ability to access key structural information in the spectro-temporal domain. Alternative methods in which time-frequency dynamics are preserved are considered. Sparse-coding and source separation algorithms (specifically, shift-invariant probabilistic latent component analysis in 2D) are proposed as a means to access and summarise time-frequency dynamics which may be more ecologically-meaningful.

Abstract
Accurate spot detection and quantification is a challenging task that must be performed effectively in order to properly extract the proteomic information from two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis images. In Morris et al., Bioinformatics 24:529-536, 2008, we introduced Pinnacle, an automatic, fast, effective noncommercial package for spot detection and quantification for 2-D gel images, and subsequently we have developed a freely available gui-based interface for applying the method to a set of gels. In this chapter, we overview Pinnacle, and in a step-by-step manner we describe how to use the software to obtain spot lists and quantifications, to be used for comparative proteomic analysis.
