The past, present, and future of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS)
The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is a community-driven standard for the organization of
data and metadata from a growing range of neuroscience modalities. This paper is meant as a
history of how the standard has developed and grown over time. We outline the principles
behind the project, the mechanisms by which it has been extended, and some of the challenges
being addressed as it evolves. We also discuss the lessons learned through the project, with the
aim of enabling researchers in other domains to learn from the success of BIDS
Platelet-T cell aggregates in lung cancer patients: Implications for thrombosis.
Platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) are associated with increased thrombosis risk. The influence of PLA formation is especially important for cancer patients, since thrombosis accounts for approximately 10% of cancer-associated deaths. Our objective was to characterize and quantify PLAs in whole blood samples from lung cancer patients compared to healthy volunteers with the intent to analyze PLA formation in the context of lung cancer-associated thrombosis. Consenting lung cancer patients (57) and healthy volunteers (56) were enrolled at the Dana Cancer Center at the University of Toledo Health Science Campus. Peripheral blood samples were analyzed by flow cytometry. Patient medical history was reviewed through electronic medical records. Most importantly, we found lung cancer patients to have higher percentages of platelet-T cell aggregates (PTCAs) than healthy volunteers among both CD4+ T lymphocyte and CD8+ T lymphocyte populations. Our findings demonstrate that characterization of PTCAs may have clinical utility in differentiating lung cancer patients from healthy volunteers and stratifying lung cancer patients by history of thrombosis
