Title: Quantification of Vascular Permeability in the Retina Using Fluorescein Videoangiography Data as a Biomarker for Early Diabetic Retinopathy

Show moreDiabetic retinopathy, which is the most common reason for blindness in the working-age population, affects over one-third of those who have had diabetes for over ten years. High blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) in the blood damages blood vessels and tight junction at the blood-retinal barrier (BRB). Chronic inflammation leads to changes in vascular health, and over time blood vessels tend to get damaged and exhibit higher “leakage” or permeability. In the late stage of DR, hemorrhages can occur, leading to irreversible damage of neuronal tissue in the retina and vision loss. In the clinic, there are some biomarkers and imaging modalities used to diagnose DR based on some of the more severe products of DR (e.g., hemorrhage), but there is no non-invasive, highly sensitive method to detect diabetic retinopathy before clinical signs occur, when mitigating therapies could be more effective. In this thesis, indicator dilution theory was explored to modeling the temporal dynamics of fluorescein in the retina after intravenous injection, with an aim to quantitatively map subtle changes in retinal blood flow and vascular permeability that could preempt subsequent irreversible damage. Specifically, a simplified version of indicator dilution theory—namely the “adiabatic approximation in tissue homogeneity” (AATH) model—was used to estimate physiological parameters such as the blood flow (F) and the extraction fraction (E: a parameter coupled with vascular permeability) from retinal fluorescein videoangiography data. The AATH fitting protocol was optimized through simulations using a more complex model (the AATH-vascular heterogeneity model, AATH-VH). It was determined that a two-step least square fitting method was more sensitive than a single-step least square fitting of AATH to simulated data to evaluate vascular permeability in early diabetic retinopathy. The optimized data analysis protocol was then evaluated in an initial clinical study comparing healthy control subjects to those with moderate non-proliferative DR. Volumetric blood flow and retinal vascular permeability maps were compared between patient groups with clear increases in extraction fraction observed in the mild NPDR patients compared to control. These promising early data have been the foundation to an ongoing 5 year study tracking 100 Diabetic patients with no DR so see if early changes in vascular permeability can predict which patients are more likely to progress to DR.

Show moreUncertainty arises naturally in many application domains. It can be caused by an uncertain data source (sensor errors, noise, etc.). Data preprocessing techniques (data curation, data integration, etc.) can also results in uncertainty to the data. Analyzing uncertain data without accounting for its uncertainty can create hard to trace errors, with severe real world implications. Certain answers are a principled method for coping with the uncertainty that arises in many practical data management tasks. Unfortunately, this method is expensive and may exclude useful (if uncertain) answers. Other techniques from incomplete database record and propagate more detailed uncertainty information. However, most of these approaches are either too expensive to be practical, or only focus on a narrow class of queries and only work for a specific representation. In this thesis, we investigate models and query semantics for uncertain data management and present a framework that is general and practically efficient, backed up by fundamental theoretical foundations and with formally proven correctness guarantees. We first propose Uncertainty Annotated Databases (UA-DB), which combine an under- and over-approximation of certain answers to combine the reliability of certain answers with the performance of a classical database system. We then introduce attribute-annotated uncertain databases (AU-DB), which extend the UA-DB model with attribute-level annotations that record bounds on the values of an attribute across all possible worlds. AU-DB extends UA-DBs to encode a compact over-approximation of possible answers which is necessary to support non-monotone queries including aggregation and set difference. With a further extension to AU-DB that supports ranking and windowed aggregation queries using native implementation on modern DBMS, our approaches scale to complex queries and large datasets, and produces accurate results. Furthermore, they significantly outperforms alternative methods for uncertain data management.

Show moreLiterature shows that the Nature of Mathematics Knowledge (NOMK) dates back to the era of Plato and Aristotle (Dossey, 1992). It suggests that mathematics teachers’ beliefs, views, conceptions, and preferences about NOM influence the way in which they teach mathematics. It is important to understand how these conceptions are formed, which may evolve consciously or unconsciously from their experiences. Teachers’ experiences as students of mathematics, their family, school environment, cultural, and social experiences influence their behavior including their decisions, actions, class organization, learning activities, and students’ achievement (Beswick, 2012; Ernest, 2008; Thompson1984). Yet, there is no NCTM standard on NOM (Gfeller, 1999).The purpose of the present study was to assess high school mathematics teachers’ NOMK conceptions, and to explore how these conceptions have been influenced by their personal and educational experiences as students in learning mathematics. Another objective of this study was to explore whether the teachers’ years of mathematics teaching experience, and their level of education have any influence on their NOMK beliefs. The sample consisted of 52 high school mathematics teachers, who were certified to teach secondary mathematics, and who had at least three years of mathematics teaching experience. Two instruments were used to collect the data, 1) the VNOM D instrument to assess the teachers’ beliefs regarding the NOMK aspects, and 2) the demographics instrument to collect information on the teachers’ demographics, and on their experiences as students of mathematics. Interviews were also used to enhance the findings. Results showed that participants had strong beliefs regarding their NOMK, and that their years of experience, and level of education influenced their NOMK beliefs.
