Big Data Begins to Crack the Case of Endometriosis
Records from millions of patients at University of
California health centers found correlations between
endometriosis, one of the most common diseases in
women, and a bounty of other diseases.
By Levi Gadye
Scientists at UC San Francisco have found that
endometriosis — a painful chronic disease that often
goes undiagnosed yet is estimated to affect as many as
200 million women worldwide — frequently occurs
alongside conditions like cancer, Crohn's disease, and
migraine.
The research could improve diagnosis and, ultimately,
treatments for endometriosis, preventing women from
having to go on long diagnostic journeys in which they
are told that nothing is wrong with them.
The study, which appeared in Cell Reports Medicine on
July 31, used computational methods developed at
UCSF to analyze anonymized patient records collected at
the University of California's six health centers.
"We now have both the tools and the data to make a
difference for the huge population that suffers from
endometriosis," said Marina Sirota, PhD, the interim
director of the UCSF Bakar Computational Health
Sciences Institute (BCHSI), professor of pediatrics, and
senior author of the paper. "We hope this can spur a sea
change in how we approach this disorder."
"The impact on patients' lives is huge"
Endometriosis, often called 'endo,' occurs when the
endometrium, the blood-rich tissue that grows in the
uterus before being expelled each month during
menstruation, spreads to other nearby organs. It causes
chronic pain and infertility. It is estimated that nearly 10%
of women worldwide suffer from it.
"Endo is extremely debilitating," said Linda Giudice, MD,
PhD, MSc, a physician-scientist in the Department of
Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at
UCSF and co-author of the paper. "The impact on patients' lives is huge, from their interpersonal
relationships to being able to hold a job, have a family,
and maintain psychological wellbeing."
The gold standard to diagnose endometriosis is surgery
to find endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, and it is
mainly treated with hormones to suppress the menstrual
cycle, or surgery to remove the excess tissue.
But not everyone responds to hormonal therapy, which
can have debilitating side effects. Even after surgery, the
condition can flare up. Removal of the uterus is a
last-ditch measure that is usually reserved for older
women; but some women continue to experience pain
even after a hysterectomy.
Giudice partnered with Sirota to leverage the UC health
system's anonymized patient data against endo, which
can vary dramatically across patients. Both Giudice and
Sirota are principal investigators at the UCSF-Stanford
Endometriosis Center for Discovery, Innovation, Training
and Community Engagement (ENACT).
"This data is messy; it was not collected for research
purposes but for the real, human purpose of helping
women who need care," Sirota said. "We had the rare
chance to rigorously assess how endometriosis presents
across UCSF's patient population and then ask whether
these observations held true with patients seen at the
other UC health centers."
Data connects the dots for understanding endometriosis
Using algorithms developed for the task, Umair Khan, a
bioinformatics graduate student in Sirota's lab and first
author of the paper, hunted for connections linking
endometriosis with the rest of each patient's health
history.
He compared endo patients with patients who did not
have it, and categorized the patients with endo into
groups based on shared health histories. He mapped his
findings from the UCSF data against the rest of the UC's
health data to see if they held up across California.
"We found over 600 correlations between endometriosis
and other conditions," Khan said. "These ranged from
what we already knew or suspected, like infertility,
autoimmune disease, and acid-reflux, to the unexpected,
like certain cancers, asthma, and eye-related diseases."
Some patients had migraines, bolstering previous studies
suggesting that migraine drugs might help treat
endometriosis.
"In the past, studies like this would have been nearly
impossible," said Tomiko Oskotsky, MD, an investigator
at ENACT, associate professor in UCSF BCHSI, and
co-author of the paper. "It was only 12 years ago that
de-identified electronic health records became available
at this scale."
The study supports the growing understanding of
endometriosis as a "multi-system" disorder — a disease
arising from dysfunction throughout the body.
"This is the kind of data we need to move the needle,
which hasn't moved in decades," Giudice said. "We're finally getting closer to faster diagnosis and, eventually,
we hope, tailored treatment for the millions of women
who suffer from endometriosis."

states "We're finally getting closer to faster diagnosis
and, eventually, tailored treatment for the millions of
women who suffer from endometriosis", what does this
conclusion primarily contribute to the text's coherence?

The US may be a bitterly divided country, but I think I’ve found a topic which pretty much everyone
can unite behind: tipping culture is out of control. The US norm of tipping at least 20% on a meal, and
at (the very, very) least $1 a drink at a bar, has always confused European tourists. In recent years,
however, tipping prompts have become so ubiquitous, have spread to so many new areas of commerce,
that even Americans are confused about when and where a tip is appropriate. There is now almost no
payment transaction in the US that doesn’t involve a prompt for a tip. If you go to get a coffee or pick
up a takeout order, for example, an electronic screen will almost certainly get swivelled in your
direction, asking if you want to add a 20%, 25% or 30% tip. More confusingly, however, if you go to
the local convenience store to buy a pint of milk or a pack of crisps, chances are you’ll still see that tip
screen pointed at you. You’re even prompted to leave a tip at some self-checkouts.

Read the following news report to answer question.
Air Canada flights will resume on Sunday after the government ordered cabin crew to end a strike that caused hundreds of cancellations.
The Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) instructed staff to return to work and extended the collective agreement that had expired on 31 March until a new one is negotiated. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, imposing binding arbitration after more than 10,000 flight attendants walked out, leading to about 700 cancellations.
The union accused the government of “caving to corporate pressure” and reiterated demands for higher salaries and payment for ground duties. Air Canada said it had suspended all flights, including those operated by its budget arm Rouge, and warned that full normalization could take several days[...]
Hajdu stated that “stability and supply chains” had to be preserved, while the parties had been “unable to resolve their differences in a timely manner.”[...] The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) criticized the intervention as a violation of charter rights, claiming it would cause “incalculable damage” to workers’ interests.

94 different primate species, including fossils and living
animals, to understand how our ancestors developed
their abilities. They found that species with relatively
longer thumbs, which help with gripping small objects
precisely, consistently had larger brains. The research,
published today (Tuesday, 26 August) in
Communications Biology, provides the first direct
evidence that manual dexterity and brain evolution are
connected across the entire primate lineage, from lemurs
to humans. Humans and our extinct relatives boast both
extraordinarily long thumbs and exceptionally large
brains. However, the link remains strong across all
primates: when scientists removed human data from their
analysis, the connection between thumb length and brain
size remained.
Dr Joanna Baker, lead author from the University of
Reading, said: "We've always known that our big brains
and nimble fingers set us apart, but now we can see they
didn't evolve separately. As our ancestors got better at
picking up and manipulating objects, their brains had to
grow to handle these new skills. These abilities have
been fine-tuned through millions of years of brain
evolution."
Thumbs linked to thinking, not movement
The scientists made a surprising discovery about which
part of the brain grows alongside longer thumbs. They
expected longer thumbs to be linked to the cerebellum
because it is the region of the brain that controls
movement and coordination. Instead, longer thumbs
were connected to the neocortex (a complex layered
region comprising approximately half the volume of the
human brain), which processes sensory information and
handles cognition and consciousness.
It was a surprise that only one of the two major brain
regions they thought would be involved actually was. The
findings suggest that as primates developed better
manual skills for handling objects, their brains had to
grow to process and use these new abilities effectively −
but further work is needed to establish exactly how the
neocortex supports manipulative abilities.

Brattleboro archeology project adds to historical
narrative of mill workers
BRATTLEBORO — Archeology along the recently
restored floodplain on Birge Street helps illustrate the rich
industrial history of Brattleboro.
"This research conducted has proven to be a valuable
dataset that contributes, in many ways, to shaping the
historical narrative of mill workers in Vermont," said
Danielle Duguid, project manager and principal
investigator with Hartgen Archeological Associates. "Most
importantly, it's added direct ties to the families who toiled
and prospered living in the lumber yard of the Holden &
Martin sawmill."
In a virtual event Thursday, Duguid presented information
about her group's discoveries. Hartgen was hired for
archeological work of the floodplain restoration project
now known as Kikitta Ahki, with funding from the town,
Vermont River Conservancy and Vermont Emergency
Management. The Brattleboro Historical Society provided
information.
Duguid said the archeological site was initially identified
during test excavations in 2018 during archeological
permitting for the floodplain restoration project.
"The plans for the larger project involve removing many
feet of modern and historic fill across the 12 acres of the
floodplain to allow natural flooding of the area and
prevent catastrophic flooding from overflowing into the
rest of downtown Brattleboro, which had occurred in
2011 following Hurricane Irene," she said. "Large scale
archeological excavations and research are conducted to
preserve as much of the information as possible before
the site gets destroyed by the planned development or
construction. The information and knowledge that's
gained from this effort is then gathered into a large
report, discussed with community and given to museums
to preserve the history for future generations."
Duguid said indigenous peoples began to set up
permanent settlements and built villages in the study
area. Her group found a few small fragments of stone
tools they used.
Brooks traveling the Connecticut River "provided ease of
transportation and more importantly hydropower for the
18th and 19th century settlers along the Whetstone
Brook," Duguid said.
"Dozens of saw mills, woolen factories, tanneries and
other water powered industries began to pop up during
the 18th and 19th century," she said. "Subsequent mill
operations ran adjacent to the study area from the 1830s
to the 1960s as well as in many more other locations."
John Birge, who the street was named for, constructed a
woolen mill in 1838. It changed hands over the years.
In the 19th century, David and Catherine Leahy bought 8
acres of the meadow right next to a mill to build their
home. The Irish immigrant couple ended up splitting up,
and their land and house were sold to the up-and-coming
Holden & Martin Milling Company in 1904. The home
housed families employed at the mill.
"With a reputation of investing in their employees,"
Duguid said of Holden & Martin, "they applauded
themselves on providing reasonable priced worker
housing throughout Brattleboro, utilizing a rent-to-own
model for any of their housing and never defaulting on a
loan."
Duguid counted a total of 5,968 architectural artifacts
found by her group during excavations. They included
wooden beams, slate shingles, window glass, nails,
hardware and bricks. These materials "vastly
outnumbered the domestic and personal assemblages,"
Duguid said.
A total of 4,300 nails were catalogued. They're "actually
particularly useful for historic archeologists as the shapes
and sizes are diagnostic," Duguid said.
Slate discovered by her group was "definitely local to the
area," Duguid said. They made the determination based
off its color.
"Faunal remains were found throughout the site as well,
helping archeologists understand what the families at the
Leahy home were consuming," she said. "Through
looking at the bones, researchers can determine the
species and also examine cut marks and butcher marks
for information about how animals were processed."
Duguid said bones from cattle, pig, sheep, goat and
horse bones were identified in the approximately 300
final remains analyzed.
Personal items discovered included tobacco pipe stems,
leather shoes, children's toys, burnt vinyl records and a
rosary. Duguid suggested the large number of toys at the
site may indicate they were used to distract families from
the dangers of the nearby mill.

The excavation conducted by Hartgen Archeological Associates is said to contribute to the "historical narrative
of mill workers." In this context, which of the following
best explains how archeological evidence can shape
such a narrative?
