Objective: There have been case reports of adverse events of hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) implantation not seen in previous clinical trials, including pneumothorax and pleural effusion. The purpose of this study was to determine the rates of these complications and potential risk factors. Study Design: Retrospective case-control study during 2014 to 2021. Setting: Twenty-five health care organizations across the United States. Methods: The TriNetX Research Network was queried by using disease codes to retrospectively identify patients with obstructive sleep apnea who underwent HNS implantation. Rates of pneumothorax, pleural effusion, other complications, and need for revision/replacement or explant were determined. Results: We identified 1813 patients from 25 health care organizations who underwent HNS implantation. The average age was 60 years, and there were 68% males and 32% females. Of the cohort, 2.4% (n = 44 from 7 implant centers) experienced a pneumothorax, and 0.6% (n = 11) were diagnosed with a pleural effusion on the day of surgery. Patients who experienced pneumothorax were more likely to have a history of chronic lower respiratory diseases when compared with those who did not (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.1–4.1; P =.02).

The Proveana database for provenance research is a new service of the German Lost Art Foundation in Magdeburg. Complementing the Lost Art database for the documentation of cultural assets which were displaced or relocated as a result of the events of World War II, the centre has released the new database in 2020 to support provenance research through documenting historical information from four different provenance research areas on cultural assets seized due to national socialist persecution (Nazi-looted art), cultural assets displaced during wartime (war booty), cultural assets seized in the Soviet-occupied zone and the GDR, as well as cultural assets and collections from colonial contexts, thereby making it more transparent and contributing to the solution of unresolved cases.

Film costumes as diegetic design elements are only rudimentarily explored. There is especially a lack of an overarching concept to make costumes describable in a systematic way and thus analysable beyond individual film analyses. The MUSE dataset aims to fill this gap by providing detailed data on film costumes embedded in a comprehensive ontology. The costume data set contains both, data on the pieces of clothes that compose the costume, their arrangement, and their attributes such as colour, materials, and condition, as well as contextualizing data on the occurrence of the costumes in the film and the role wearing the costume.

Research information systems (CRIS) evaluate research achievements and should contribute to the continuous improvement of research. Based on an online survey and interviews with experts from the euroCRIS organization, this research paper gives an overview of the ethical aspects in the field of research information management and shows how CRIS represent ethical dimensions of scientific research and how their development, implementation and functioning should comply with common ethical standards.

Statistical evaluation of compressive strength of ultra‐high strength concrete Compared to normal strength concrete, ultra‐high strength concrete has many advantageous properties such as extreme compact microstructure, very high compressive strength and enhanced properties with regard to durability. For a reliable design of ultra‐high strength concrete components in ultimate and serviceability limit states, the characteristic compressive strength and the scattering of the compressive strength must be known. For this aim, compressive tests have been compiled in a database and analysed statistically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Methodological issues (e.g., ignoring missing data, irrelevant outcomes, flawed subgroup analyses) often limit the value of health research. One reason is that health researchers cannot easily find relevant methods guidance. To improve the findability of methods guidance, we initiated the development of the Library of Guidance for Health Scientists (LIGHTS, https://lights.science/). LIGHTS is a new open access database to effectively support health researchers, statisticians, methods consultants, methods developers, ethics boards, peer reviewers, journal editors, funding bodies, and others who are searching for optimal methods guidance in clinical research.

Fibre amounts and strength classes How are residual tensile strengths related to fibre contents and fibre types? The contribution treats this question by means of database evaluations. The aim is to provide aids for structural design and cost estimations in order to compare fibre additions – i.e. an increase of materials and costs – to savings in bar reinforcement and simplifications in reinforcing works on site. In the sub‐committee "Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete" of the German Committee for Reinforced Concrete (DAfStb) a comprehensive database on flexural beam tests with currently over 1100 test series was compiled that covers the wide range of common fibre concretes relevant for today's construction practice. The findings of this database are part of several contributions in this special issue. This contribution presents the database in its basic structure, deals with its evaluation with regard to typical steel fibre mixtures, scatterings in the tensile behaviour as well as the frequently discussed correlation between fibre content and material characteristics. For this purpose, the test data are summarised in individual categories based on the characteristic parameters of concrete compressive strength, fibre slenderness, fibre's tensile strength and content. For each of these categories, the upper (95 % quantile) and lower limit (5 % quantile) as well as the average achieved flexural residual tensile strength are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Database for punching shear resistance of steel fibre reinforced concrete flat slabs without shear reinforcement – Verification of design approaches according to DAfStb guideline and Model Code 2010 The punching shear design of steel fibre‐reinforced flat slabs is currently carried out in Germany based on the DAfStb Guideline "Steel fibre reinforced concrete". The addition of steel fibres to the concrete allows an effective transfer of tensile forces across the crack and limits the progressive crack opening, which proves to be particularly favourable for the punching shear strength. Numerous investigations since the mid‐1970s have confirmed this and have enabled the derivation of empirical and partly mechanically based approaches for the calculation of the steel fibre contribution in the punching shear capacity of steel fibre reinforced flat slabs without punching shear reinforcement. For the evaluation and further development of these approaches, a critically reviewed database of punching shear tests on steel fibre reinforced flat slabs without punching shear reinforcement was created. Considering the practical construction requirements regarding the slab thickness, the degree of longitudinal reinforcement as well as the concrete compressive strength and the post‐cracking tensile strength, about 116 tests could be included in the punching shear database "Steel fibre reinforced concrete". This paper presents the database and discusses its evaluation about the prediction accuracy and the safety level of the design approaches according to the DAfStb guideline "Steel fibre reinforced concrete" as well as according to the Model Code 2010.

Wer die Beschluss-Empfehlungen des G-BA bezüglich der Übertragung oder Weiterführung der beendeten (Stand: 23.7.21) Innovationsfonds-Projekte – 6 bei Neuen Versorgungsformen, 29 bei Versorgungsforschung – liest, muss anerkennen, dass sich der Bundesausschuss viel Arbeit macht. Insbesondere bei dem Versuch, zwischen den einzelnen Förderprojekten sinnige Querverbindungen zu schaffen. Doch bleibt aufgrund der – vorsichtig formuliert – ausbaufähigen Datenhaltung sicher einiges an Wissen ungehoben, weil Querverbindungen durchaus – wohl eher zufällig – zwischen Projekten des Innovationsfonds möglich sind, nicht aber mit vielleicht ebenso wichtigen Detailergebnissen vieler anderer Projekte; und schon gar nicht mit solchen aus anderen Fördertöpfen (BMBF, DFG, BMG, EU etc.). Das möchte „Monitor Versorgungsforschung“ mit einem gemeinsam mit dem IT-Unternehmen metaphacts entwickelten Vorschlag ändern: einer agilen Datenbanklösung für alle Innovations-Projekte.

High tech (HT) trace elements such as germanium, gallium and indium gain rising importance in the development of innovative technologies. The database "HTMET" forms the first nationwide metal-ore database for Germany, created to visualise HT metal characteristics of base metal ores from important mining districts. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations on 478 samples and ore concentrates from 109 Pb-Zn-Cu occurrences were carried out using analytical methods with high spatial resolution and bulk sample methods. The database provides aggregated data based on 17,000 geochemical data sets, compiled information on regional infrastructure and environmental risks as well as data on innovative raw material- efficient processing techniques. Evaluation of combined data provides interactive maps revealing new potentials for specific HT metals in Germany. Differences in regional distribution of these trace elements and dependency of their concentration levels in the ore on the genetic deposit type became apparent. Sphalerite from the sediment-hosted massive sulphide (SHMS) deposit "Rammelsberg" and skarn deposits in the Erzgebirge contain elevated indium contents (median 14-119 ppm), whereas the SHMS deposit "Meggen" is poor in HT metals. Germanium forms the predominant HT trace element in colloform sphalerite of Mississippi-Valley-Type (MVT) deposits (median 29-147 ppm); in contrast, crystalline sphalerite is low in germanium in this deposit type. Sphalerite in all hydrothermal vein deposits shares a distinct enrichment in gallium (median 6-81 ppm); however, germanium and indium concentrations vary significantly depending on the metal source and fluid conditions. The Ruhrgebiet and the Schwarzwald ore veins show an enrichment in germanium (median 55-73 ppm), whilst vein sphalerite from the Erzgebirge is specialised in indium (median 33 ppm). The data demonstrate that the HT trace element inventory of the studied base metal sulphides is not only a function of the genetic ore deposit type, but is also triggered by locally variable geology such as source rock and fluid composition and organic content of the rock. Gallium seems to derive from adjacent lithologies, whereas indium and germanium may have more distant sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ALFABET 2.0: data basis of DIN EN 1999‐1‐3 Within an AiF research project (IGF‐18629) about low cycle fatigue of aluminum structures, the Chair of Metal Structures at the Technical University of Munich reconstructed parts of the data base of DIN EN 1999‐1‐3. The objective was, to get a compendium of fatigue tests for statistic evaluation of the experimental background of structural details and design lines. The original data base from 1990 did not run any more on contemporary hardware and respectively wasn't maintained any more. However, the original test data sheets were still available in exported forms from the data base. On that basis the new databank ALFABET 2.0 was built, completed with new data and currently provides approximately 2 500 fatigue tests on basic material, joints and full‐beam tests from the period 1960–2018. In the foreground of the former and present structure of the database is the evaluation of the influence of notches and the mean stress on the fatigue strength, which is to serve by a broad test basis for the derivation of fail‐safe design lines.

The Swedish vascular registry, Swedvasc, was created in 1987 as a regional registry and achieved national coverage in 1994. This article describes how the registry developed during those 31 years. The aims of the registry were to enhance quality improvement and research within the field of vascular surgery. The registry was validated on several occasions and in 2015 an independent international validation took place, showing both excellent external (no missing cases) and internal validity (comparing the variables in the registry with case records). The Swedvasc was instrumental in the creation of Vascunet in 1997, the international collaboration of vascular registries in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Enabling international comparisons of indications, techniques and outcomes has proven to be a great force in quality improvement. This collaboration is now turning global, including the North American registry the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative (SVS-VQI) and hopefully soon also including the Japanese registry. The Swedvasc is used as an integral part of routine healthcare and over 10,000 procedures are registered annually. This provides clinicians, clinics, health authorities and researchers with real-world data from an unselected nationwide population. Registry data have been used to describe patterns of treatment and outcomes over time and for monitoring quality of care locally, nationally and internationally and for quality improvement projects. The clinical data available in Swedvasc provide an important source not only for assessment and development of healthcare but also for research and over 100 original articles based on Swedvasc data have been published. A randomization module has been included in the registry since 2014 and opens up a new clinical trial paradigm; registry-based randomized clinical trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
