- Abstract
The study explores the common effort of social psychiatrists in Eastern and Western Germany to help people suffering from mental health issues to gain more self-determination and social participation and to make mental health care more humane from the 1960s onwards. At the same time, it provides a contrastive analysis of the social psychiatric concepts developed by the psychiatrists Karl Peter Kisker, Klaus Weise and the philosopher Achim Thom. A thorough analysis of literature reveals differences in the theoretical approaches in the East and West. Kisker, who was a representative of the West German social psychiatric movement, had a phenomenological-anthropological background. By contrast, Weise and Thom even though following the same subject orientation, established a socialist social psychiatry clearly integrating Marxist views into their concept. This contrastive also elaborates common viewpoints in understanding the social dimensions of mental health conditions in the two concepts., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.

- Abstract
Objectives: Intensive insulin therapy provides optimal glycemic control in patients with diabetes. However, intensive insulin therapy causes so-called iatrogenic hypoglycemia as a major adverse effect. The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) has been described as the primary brain area initiating the counter-regulatory response (CRR). Nevertheless, the VMH receives projections from other brain areas which could participate in the regulation of the CRR. In particular, studies suggest a potential role of the serotonin (5-HT) network. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the contribution of 5-HT neurons in CRR control., Methods: Complementary approaches have been used to test this hypothesis in quantifying the level of 5-HT in several brain areas by HPLC in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia, measuring the electrical activity of dorsal raphe (DR) 5-HT neurons in response to insulin or decreased glucose level by patch-clamp electrophysiology; and measuring the CRR hormone glucagon as an index of the CRR to the modulation of the activity of 5-HT neurons using pharmacological or pharmacogenetic approaches., Results: HPLC measurements show that the 5HIAA/5HT ratio is increased in several brain regions including the VMH in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Patch-clamp electrophysiological recordings show that insulin, but not decreased glucose level, increases the firing frequency of DR 5-HT neurons in the DR. In vivo, both the pharmacological inhibition of 5-HT neurons by intraperitoneal injection of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT or the chemogenetic inhibition of these neurons reduce glucagon secretion, suggesting an impaired CRR., Conclusion: Taken together, these data highlight a new neuronal network involved in the regulation of the CRR. In particular, this study shows that DR 5-HT neurons detect iatrogenic hypoglycemia in response to the increased insulin level and may play an important role in the regulation of CRR., (© 2023 British Society for Neuroendocrinology.)

- Abstract
Emerging RNA virus infections are a growing concern among domestic poultry industries due to the severe impact they can have on flock health and economic livelihoods. Avian paramyxoviruses (APMV; avulaviruses, AaV) are pathogenic, negative-sense RNA viruses that cause serious infections in the respiratory and central nervous systems. APMV was detected in multiple avian species during the 2017 wild bird migration season in Ukraine and studied using PCR, virus isolation, and sequencing. Of 4090 wild bird samples collected, mostly from southern Ukraine, eleven isolates were grown in ovo and identified for APMV serotype by hemagglutinin inhibition test as: APMV-1, APMV-4, APMV-6, and APMV-7. To build One Health's capacity to characterize APMV virulence and analyze the potential risks of spillover to immunologically naïve populations, we sequenced virus genomes in veterinary research labs in Ukraine using a nanopore (MinION) platform. RNA was extracted and amplified using a multiplex tiling primer approach to specifically capture full-length APMV-1 ( n = 5) and APMV-6 ( n = 2) genomes at high read depth. All APMV-1 and APMV-6 fusion (F) proteins possessed a monobasic cleavage site, suggesting these APMVs were likely low virulence, annually circulating strains. Utilization of this low-cost method will identify gaps in viral evolution and circulation in this understudied but important critical region for Eurasia.

- Abstract
Microbes influence the surrounding environment and contribute to human health. Metagenomics can be used as a tool to explore the interactions between microbes. Metagenomic assemblies built using long read nanopore data depend on the read level accuracy. The read level accuracy of nanopore sequencing has made dramatic improvements over the past several years. However, we do not know if the increased read level accuracy allows for faster assemblers to make as accurate metagenomic assemblies as slower assemblers. Here, we present the results of a benchmarking study comparing three commonly used long read assemblers, Flye, Raven, and Redbean. We used a prepared DNA standard of seven bacteria as our input community. We prepared a sequencing library using a VolTRAX V2 and sequenced using a MinION mk1b. We basecalled with Guppy v5.0.7 using the super-accuracy model. We found that increasing read depth benefited each of the assemblers, and nearly complete community member chromosomes were assembled with as little as 10× read depth. Polishing assemblies using Medaka had a predictable improvement in quality. We found Flye to be the most robust across taxa and was the most effective assembler for recovering plasmids. Based on Flye's consistency for chromosomes and increased effectiveness at assembling plasmids, we would recommend using Flye in future metagenomic studies.

- Abstract
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is responsible for a number of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVAD) that can severely impact domestic pig herds. For a non-enveloped virus with a small genome (1.7 kb ssDNA), PCV2 is remarkably diverse, with eight genotypes (a-h). New genotypes of PCV2 can spread through the migration of wild boar, which are thought to infect domestic pigs and spread further through the domestic pig trade. Despite a large swine population, the diversity of PCV2 genotypes in Ukraine has been under-sampled, with few PCV2 genome sequences reported in the past decade. To gain a deeper understanding of PCV2 genotype diversity in Ukraine, samples of blood serum were collected from wild boars ( n = 107) that were hunted in Ukraine during the November-December 2012 hunting season. We found 34/107 (31.8%) prevalence of PCV2 by diagnostic PCR. For domestic pigs, liver samples ( n = 16) were collected from a commercial market near Kharkiv in 2019, of which 6 out of 16 (37%) samples were positive for PCV2. We sequenced the genotyping locus ORF2 , a gene encoding the PCV2 viral capsid (Cap), for 11 wild boar and six domestic pig samples in Ukraine using an Oxford Nanopore MinION device. Of 17 samples with resolved genotypes, the PCV2 genotype b was the most common in wild boar samples (10 out of 11, 91%), while the domestic pigs were infected with genotypes b and d. We also detected genotype b/d and b/a co-infections in wild boars and domestic pigs, respectively, and for the first time in Ukraine we detected genotype f in a wild boar from Poltava. Building a maximum-likelihood phylogeny, we identified a sublineage of PCV2 genotype b infections in both wild and domestic swine, suggesting a possible epizootic cluster and an ecological interaction between wild boar and domestic pig populations in northeastern Ukraine.

- Abstract
Background and Purpose- Delayed cerebral infarction (DCI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Stereotactic catheter ventriculocisternostomy (STX-VCS) and fibrinolytic/spasmolytic lavage is a new method for DCI prevention. Here, we assess the effects of implementing STX-VCS in an unselected aSAH patient population of a tertiary referral center. Methods- Retrospective cohort study of all consecutive aSAH patients admitted to a neurosurgical referral center during a 7-year period (April 2012 to April 2019). Midterm STX-VCS was introduced and offered to patients at high risk for DCI. We compared the incidence and burden of DCI, neurological outcome, and the use of induced hypertension and endovascular rescue therapy in this consecutive aSAH population 3.5 years before versus 3.5 years after STX-VCS became available. Results- Four hundred thirty-six consecutive patients were included: 222 BEFORE and 214 AFTER. Fifty-seven of 214 (27%) patients received STX-VCS. Stereotactic procedures resulted in one (2%) subdural hematoma. Favorable neurological outcome at 6 months occurred in 118 (53%) patients BEFORE and 139 (65%) patients AFTER (relative risk, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.66-0.95]). DCI occurred in 40 (18.0%) patients BEFORE and 17 (7.9%) patients AFTER (relative risk, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.57-0.86]), and total DCI volumes were 8933 (100%) and 3329 mL (36%), respectively. Induced hypertension was used in 97 (44%) and 30 (15%) patients, respectively (relative risk, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.46-0.65]). Thirty (13.5%) patients BEFORE versus 5 (2.3%) patients AFTER underwent endovascular rescue therapies (relative risk, 0.17 [95% CI, 0.07-0.42]). Conclusions- Selecting high-risk patients for STX-VCS reduced the DCI incidence, burden, and related mortality in a consecutive aSAH patient population. This was associated with an improved neurological outcome.

- Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of an intervention to reduce the duration of antibiotic treatment for pneumonia in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU). The usage of antibiotics and the resultant costs were examined using interrupted time series analysis while resistance and device-associated infection rates are also described., Methods: In January 2004, revised guidelines for the use of antibiotics were implemented. As a consequence of this, the duration of antibiotic therapy for nosocomial pneumonia was reduced from 14 to 7 days, while for community-acquired pneumonia the period fell from 10 to 5 days. The effect on the antibiotic use density [AD; expressed as defined daily doses (DDD) per 1000 patient days (pd)] was calculated by segmented regression analysis of interrupted time series for the 24 months prior to (2002 and 2003) and after the intervention (2004 and 2005)., Results: The intervention was associated with a significant decrease in total AD from 949.8 to 626.7 DDD/1000 pd after the intervention. This was mainly due to reduced consumption of second-generation cephalosporins (-100.6 DDD/1000 pd), imidazoles (- 100.3 DDD/1000 pd), carbapenems (-33.3 DDD/1000 pd), penicillins with beta-lactamase inhibitor (-33.5 DDD/1000 pd) and glycopeptides (-30.2 DDD/1000 pd). Glycopeptide reduction might be associated with a significant decrease in the proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (8.4% before and 2.9% after the intervention). Similarly, total antibiotic costs/pd (Euro) showed a significant decrease from 13.16 Euro/pd before to 7.31 euro/pd after the intervention. This is a saving of 5.85 Euro/pd. The incidence of patients dying with pneumonia did not change significantly., Conclusions: The most conservative estimate of segmented regression analysis over a 48 month period showed that halving the duration of treatment for pneumonia results in a reduction of over 30% in antibiotic consumption and costs. Because respiratory infections are most common in ICU patients, interventions targeting a reduction in the duration of treatment of pneumonia might be extremely worthwhile.

- Abstract
Objective: In bacterial shunt infection, CNS inflammation is a frequently observed complication that may cause vascular complications including vasospasms. Here, we describe the first patient with shunt infection-induced cerebral vasospasms., Methods: A 35 year old woman with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt that was implanted years before developed facial nerve palsy and somnolence one week before admission to the hospital., Results: After admission, the shunt was removed, and an external ventricular drainage was inserted. Microbiological analyses revealed coagulase-negative Staphylococcus on abdominal and cranial catheters. Follow-up NMR showed infarctions. Transcranial doppler sonography and cerebral arteriography revealed severe generalized cerebral vasospasms. Inspite of triple-H therapy and intraarterial spasmolysis, bilateral anterior and media artery infarction evolved. The patient was dismissed in a vegetative state., Conclusions: This case shows that severe cerebral vasospasms are a serious complication in patients with bacterial shunt infection that should be considered in patients, that don't improve following adequate antibiotic treatment.

- Abstract
In patients with intracerebal hemorrhage, cardiac dysfunction is a common phenomenon. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by complete reversibility and therefore may constitute an entity with a favorable outcome. In this case report the authors describe a previously healthy 23-year-old man with no history of cardiac disease who suffered a severe fourth ventricular hemorrhage due to an angioma of the vermis cerebelli. After emergency surgery, progressive tachycardia, fibrillation, and electromechanical decoupling developed in the patient. An echocardiogram revealed left ventricular apical akinesia and basal hyperkinesis characteristic of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. One week after admission, cardiac function was normal. Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy differs from common cardiac dysfunction in its reversible nature. This characteristic must be taken into consideration when treating patients with intracerebral hemorrhage to avoid misclassification of the disease.

- Abstract
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a supportive therapy used for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We present outcome, clinical parameters, and complications in a cohort of 245 ARDS patients of whom 62 were treated with ECMO., Methods: Data of all ARDS patients were prospectively collected between 1991 and 1999. Outcome and clinical parameters of patients treated with and without ECMO were evaluated., Results: Hundred-thirty-eight patients were referred from other hospitals, 107 were primarily located in our hospital. About one fourth of these patients was treated with ECMO. The survival rate was 55% in ECMO patients and 61% in non-ECMO patients. ECMO resulted in very few complications, one of them was fatal. No parameter before or during ECMO could be used to predict the individual prognosis., Conclusion: ECMO is a therapeutic option for patients with severe ARDS, likely to increase survival. However, a randomized controlled study proving its benefit is still awaited. Until the development of a causal or otherwise superior therapy ECMO should be used in selected patients.
