Abstract

© Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2019. International expanding markets and continuous development of new customer oriented products lead to an increasing product and process variety and complexity as well as shortened product lifecycles. According to these challenges, manufacturing companies have to enhance their process flexibility to remain sustainable competitive. Due to that, employees have to deal with high flexible work processes including continuous change of constellations and objectives. These in turn require a high employee’s flexibility, adaptability and occupational competence as well as new training concepts to enable them. In the academic literature and industrial practice, exists a variety of concepts for employee’s qualification and training. However, these concepts do only partially focus the employee’s occupational competence. Therefore, an innovative learning concept based on motor learning theories was developed and empirically validated. The description of the examination design as well as the result presentation and discussion are subject of the present contribution.

Abstract

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health problem, with over one million events every year in Europe. However, there is a paucity of data on the current management in real life, including factors influencing treatment pathways, patient satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), and utilization of health care resources and the corresponding costs. The PREFER in VTE registry has been designed to address this and to understand medical care and needs as well as potential gaps for improvement. Methods/design: The PREFER in VTE registry was a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in seven European countries including Austria, France Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK to assess the characteristics and the management of patients with VTE, the use of health care resources, and to provide data to estimate the costs for 12 months treatment following a first-time and/or recurrent VTE diagnosed in hospitals or specialized or primary care centers. In addition, existing anticoagulant treatment patterns, patient pathways, clinical outcomes, treatment satisfaction, and health related QoL were documented. The centers were chosen to reflect the care environment in which patients with VTE are managed in each of the participating countries. Patients were eligible to be enrolled into the registry if they were at least 18 years old, had a symptomatic, objectively confirmed first time or recurrent acute VTE defined as either distal or proximal deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or both. After the baseline visit at the time of the acute VTE event, further follow-up documentations occurred at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Follow-up data was collected by either routinely scheduled visits or by telephone calls. Results: Overall, 381 centers participated, which enrolled 3,545 patients during an observational period of 1 year. Conclusion: The PREFER in VTE registry will provide valuable insights into the characteristics of patients with VTE and their acute and mid-term management, as well as into drug utilization and the use of health care resources in acute first-time and/or recurrent VTE across Europe in clinical practice. Trial registration: Registered in DRKS register, ID number: DRKS00004795

Abstract

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health problem, with over one million events every year in Europe. However, there is a paucity of data on the current management in real life, including factors influencing treatment pathways, patient satisfaction, quality of life (QoL), and utilization of health care resources and the corresponding costs. The PREFER in VTE registry has been designed to address this and to understand medical care and needs as well as potential gaps for improvement. Methods/design: The PREFER in VTE registry was a prospective, observational, multicenter study conducted in seven European countries including Austria, France Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK to assess the characteristics and the management of patients with VTE, the use of health care resources, and to provide data to estimate the costs for 12 months treatment following a first-time and/or recurrent VTE diagnosed in hospitals or specialized or primary care centers. In addition, existing anticoagulant treatment patterns, patient pathways, clinical outcomes, treatment satisfaction, and health related QoL were documented. The centers were chosen to reflect the care environment in which patients with VTE are managed in each of the participating countries. Patients were eligible to be enrolled into the registry if they were at least 18 years old, had a symptomatic, objectively confirmed first time or recurrent acute VTE defined as either distal or proximal deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or both. After the baseline visit at the time of the acute VTE event, further follow-up documentations occurred at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Follow-up data was collected by either routinely scheduled visits or by telephone calls. Results: Overall, 381 centers participated, which enrolled 3,545 patients during an observational period of 1 year. Conclusion: The PREFER in VTE registry will provide valuable insights into the characteristics of patients with VTE and their acute

Abstract

SummaryVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe. Data from real-world registries are necessary, as clinical trials do not represent the full spectrum of VTE patients seen in clinical practice. We aimed to document the epidemiology, management and outcomes of VTE using data from a large, observational database. PREFER in VTE was an international, non-interventional disease registry conducted between January 2013 and July 2015 in primary and secondary care across seven European countries. Consecutive patients with acute VTE were documented and followed up over 12 months. PREFER in VTE included 3,455 patients with a mean age of 60.8 ± 17.0 years. Overall, 53.0% were male. The majority of patients were assessed in the hospital setting as inpatients or outpatients (78.5%). The diagnosis was deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in 59.5% and pulmonary embolism (PE) in 40.5%. The most common comorbidities were the various types of cardiovascular disease (excluding hypertension; 45.5%), hypertension (42.3%) and dyslipidaemia (21.1%). Following the index VTE, a large proportion of patients received initial therapy with heparin (73.2%), almost half received a vitamin K antagonist (48.7%) and nearly a quarter received a DOAC (24.5%). Almost a quarter of all presentations were for recurrent VTE, with >80% of previous episodes having occurred more than 12 months prior to baseline. In conclusion, PREFER in VTE has provided contemporary insights into VTE patients and their real-world management, including their baseline characteristics, risk factors, disease history, symptoms and signs, initial therapy and outcomes.

Abstract

There are several papers suggesting that colour-coded Doppler sonography is a useful diagnostic tool for the differentiation of malignant and benign lesions of the thyroid gland. This hypothesis (hypervascularization of malignant nodules) is reconsidered by preoperative examination of 65 patients by using colour-coded Doppler sonography and scintigraphy. Among these patients 21 carcinomas and 2 malignant lymphomas of the thyroid gland were found histologically. Colour-coded Doppler sonography was true positive in 10 cases, true negative in 28 cases, false positive in 14 cases and false negative in 13 cases. Our conclusion is that colour-coded Doppler sonography cannot be used unconditionally for the detection of carcinoma of the thyroid gland.

Abstract

A piece of electrical wiring bundle running from the television camera to another part of the spacecraft was selected for microbiological examination. Sampling methods are discussed. The results presented show that no viable microorganisms were recovered from the part of the Surveyor 3 cable which was tested. Factors that could have contributed to the sterility of the cable are thermal vacuum testing, natural dieoff, change in pressure during launch, and lunar vacuum and temperature.

Abstract

Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum), and rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, were used to determine if sublethal copper exposure would increase their susceptibility to Vibrio anguillarum infection. Fish were pretreated with copper at fractional levels of the 96 h copper LC50 before exposure to the pathogen. Mortality by vibriosis was greater among fish exposed to 9% of the copper LC50 for 96 h than unexposed fish. Peak susceptibility to vibriosis depended in part on the interaction of exposure time and copper concentration. The higher copper concentrations produced peak susceptibility to infection in shorter time periods. After the peak of susceptibility, sensitivity to infection declined to near control levels in those fish where exposure was continued. Rainbow trout stressed by copper required about 50% fewer pathogens to induce a fatal infection than non-copper exposed fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Steelhead trout were exposed to sublethal concentrations of copper and inoculated with Yersinia ruckeri. Copper exposure at 7 and 10 μg/l for 96 h caused more fish to die of infection than control fish (no copper). Infection susceptibility increased with time of exposure to a single dosage of copper (10 μg/l), reaching a maximum at 48 h. Lowering the copper concentration to 5 μg/l caused the infection susceptibility to occur at 24 h. The infectious dose of Y. ruckeri was lower in fish exposed to 10 μg/l copper for 48 h than control fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The transmission of Yersinia ruckeri has been investigated in steelhead trout using asymptomatic carriers of the causative bacterium of enteric redmouth disease. It was found that unstressed carrier fish did not transmit the bacterium to recipient fish to cause either an epizootic or produce new carrier fish, However, when the carriers were stressed with heat, the bacterium was transmitted from the carrier to recipient fish producing a lower intestinal carrier state but no deaths. Examination of experimentally infected fish to determine the number of carriers among the survivors indicated that the frequency varied as a function of time following infection. When immunized fish were challenged with Y. ruckeri they became temporary carriers of the bacterium for up to 3 days; but were not able to transmit the infection to healthy recipient fish.

Abstract

This article discusses the effect of water temperature on the infection of rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri Richardson with infectious haematopoietic. Water temperature is known to be an important factor influencing bacterial infections of salmonid fish however, very little information is available as to its effect on viral disease. If the virus was demonstrable in infected fish before their shift to 18°C, the increase in temperature was ineffective and in fact the course of the disease was even heightened.

22. Effects of Hydrostatic Pressure on Steelhead Survival in Air-Supersaturated Water

Author

Knittel, M. D., Chapman, G. A., and Garton, R. R.

Abstract

Juvenile steelheads (Salmo gairdneri) were placed in cages and suspended at various depths in water supersaturated with air at levels from 120 to 140% of normal atmospheric gas pressure. Survival times of fish held at 10, 50, and 100 cm depth increased with increasing depth at a given level of supersaturation. When the hydrostatic pressure (7.4 mm Hg per 10 cm of water depth) was subtracted from the excess gas pressure (relative to surface barometric pressure), mortality curves (times to 50% mortality versus excess gas pressure) for fish at all three depths essentially coincided. The significant measure of supersaturation appears to be the pressure of dissolved gases in excess of the sum of barometric and hydrostatic pressures. Steelheads held near the surface in supersaturated water for a near-lethal period and then lowered to a depth providing total hydrostatic compensation appeared to recover completely in about 2 hours. The longer fish remained at depth, the longer their survival time when they subsequently were reexposed to surface conditions.

Abstract

Three types of transducers were mathematically modeled to gain knowledge of the potentials and limitations of alternating lead- and ceramic-staved cylinder transducers, curved bender bar transducers, and ribbed-cylinder flextensional transducers. It was determined that bandwidth of alternating lead- and ceramic-staved cylinders can be maximized through careful choice of material composition, ceramic thickness, length-to-diameter ratio, and stave geometry. Analysis of the curved bender bar transducer showed that a small, light-weight, low-power output transducer could be built with an in-air resonance frequency between 100 and 500 Hz. A ribbed-cylinder flextensional transducer is basically a low-frequency narrowband device but modifications can be made to the current design which will lower its first in-air resonance frequency and improve its reliability.

Abstract

Gene trees can differ from species trees due to a variety of biological phenomena, the most prevalent being gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, gene loss, and coalescence. To explain topological incongruence between the two trees, researchers apply reconciliation methods, often relying on a maximum parsimony framework. However, while several studies have investigated the space of maximum parsimony reconciliations (MPRs) under the duplication-loss and duplication-transfer-loss models, the space of MPRs under the duplication-loss-coalescence (DLC) model remains poorly understood. To address this problem, we present new algorithms for computing the size of MPR space under the DLC model and sampling from this space uniformly at random. Our algorithms are efficient in practice, with runtime polynomial in the size of the species and gene tree when the number of genes that map to any given species is fixed, thus proving that the MPR problem is fixed-parameter tractable. We have applied our methods to a biological data set of 16 fungal species to provide the first key insights in the space of MPRs under the DLC model. Our results show that a plurality reconciliation, and underlying events, are likely to be representative of MPR space.

Abstract

Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is associated with major complications such as acute or relapsing pancreatitis (AP) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Rapid elimination of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (LP) with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) without need for substitution has been found to be effective for the acute, short-term treatment of HTG-induced AP. Data on the long-term use of DFPP to prevent HTG-associated complications are scarce., Objectives: To evaluate the use and efficacy of regular DFPP treatment in clinical practice for preventing recurrence of HTG-associated complications in thera-py refractory patients., Methods: Retrospective multicenter study in patients with severe symptomatic drug and diet refractory HTG with regular DFPP treatment. Patients' incidence of HTG-associated pancreatic or cardiovascular complications was compared before treatment and with regular DFPP treatment., Results: Ten patients (3 female) were identified with baseline maximal TG concentrations of 2,587-28,090 mg/dL (median 5,487 mg/dL; interquartile range [IQR] 4,340-12,636). The mean observation period was 3.9 ± 3.4 years before and 3.8 ± 3.0 years after commencement of DFPP. In 5 patients, severe HTG was related to chylomicronemia, 2 patients had familial partial lipodystrophy Dunnigan, and 1 patient had additional LP(a)-hyperlipoproteinemia. The main HTG-associated complication was recurrent AP in 8 patients, including 1 patient treated during pregnancy. Two patients presented severe progressive ASCVD. With long-term DFPP treatment, the annual rate of HTG-associa-ted pancreatic or cardiovascular complications declined from median 1.4 (IQR 0.7-2.6) to 0 (IQR 0.0-0.4; p < 0.005). The absolute number of events was reduced by 77%. In 6 patients (60%) episodes of AP did not occur, nor was progression of ASCVD detected clinically or by routine imaging techniques. DFPP was effective in the elimination of TG-rich LP from plasma, and was safe and well-tolerated., Conclusion: Long-term, regular DFPP treatment resulted in stabilization of patients with severe HTG and related recurrent AP or progression of ASCVD, who were refractory to conventional dietary and drug therapy., (© 2020 S.

Abstract

Introduction: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition with monoclonal antibodies has complemented the armamentarium of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) before the final step of commencing chronic lipoprotein apheresis (LA). Data are scarce on patients who, after escalation of LLT with PCSK9 antibodies, have commenced chronic LA or PCSK9 antibody treatment during ongoing long-term LA., Patients and Methods: In this study, a cohort of 110 patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) due to hypercholesterolemia or concomitant lipoprotein(a)-hyperlipoproteinemia, who received PCSK9 antibodies for the first time during routine care, were consecutively identified., Results: Mean LDL-C concentration prior to initiation of LA or PCSK9 antibody treatment was 5.3 ± 2.6 mmol/L (205 ± 102 mg/dL). Due to established ASCVD, the risk-adjusted LDL-C target value was <1.8 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL) in all patients. Use of PCSK9 antibodies increased the proportion of patients attaining the LDL-C target concentration by 41.8% overall. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) associated with PCSK9 antibody medication were reported in 35 patients (31.8%). Discontinuation of PCSK9 antibody therapy due to TEAEs occurred in 25 patients (22.7%)., Conclusion: Finally, 55.5% of patients received a combination of PCSK9 antibody therapy and LA at individually optimized treatment frequencies resulting in an increase of target attainment in 54.1% of patients. About 18.1% of chronic LA patients terminated LA treatment in this real-world study. The termination of long-term LA therapy, which has hitherto prevented the progression of ASCVD, requires careful individual risk assessment and cannot be recommended by the general criteria of LDL-C reduction., (© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

We report a penile Mondor's disease after endovenous laser ablation with a 1470 nm diode laser of the great saphenous vein with additional foam sclerotherapy of distal tributaries. We administered body-weight adjusted full dose of low-molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) in a therapeutic dosage for 10 days. In addition, anti-inflammatory therapy with diclofenac-sodium 75 mg twice a day for the following five days was initiated. One month later, the patient reported no further discomfort or pain and the thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal penile vein had sonographically disappeared completely., (© The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav.)

Abstract

Background: Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is one of the most accepted treatment options for varicose veins. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of the new radial fiber slim (ELVeS-radial-slim kit™) for the 1470 nm diode laser in perforator veins with a 1 month follow-up., Methods: Our prospective observational cohort study comprised 69 perforating veins in 55 patients. Ninety percent of all patients were in the CEAP-stage C3-C6. The radial fiber slim was used to occlude the perforating vein and the great or small saphenous vein in the same procedure. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was ultrasonographically proven elimination of venous reflux in the perforating vein after at least one month. Secondary efficacy and further safety end points after one month were as follows: (1) sonographic exclusion of recanalization of the treated vein segments, (2) deep vein thrombosis (DVT), clinical pulmonary embolism (PE), or superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) as defined by objective testing, (3) death from any cause, (4) persistent clinical complaints such as pain and paresthesia., Results: Follow-up could be completed in all patients. In all treated perforating varicose veins, occlusion with elimination of reflux could be demonstrated immediately after the procedure. After one month 95.6% of the treated veins were still occluded (67/69). During follow-up, we did not diagnose any DVT, PE or SVT in the area related to the treated perforating vein. No patient died. One patient reported paresthesia distally of the puncture site., Conclusion: Endovenous laser treatment of varicose perforating veins with 1470 nm diode laser using the radial fiber slim is effective and safe with low recanalization rates during 1-month follow-up.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) using two different biodegradable barriers (polylactide acetyltributyl citrate; polydioxanon) in three- and two-walled infrabony defects. The polydioxanon barrier is an experimental GTR membrane that consists of a continuous occlusive barrier with a layer of slings on the side that is meant to face the mucoperiosteal flap. Fifteen patients provided 15 pairs of similar contralateral periodontal defects: 12 predominantly two-walled and 18 predominantly three-walled infrabony defects. Each defect was randomly assigned to treatment with polylactide acetyltributyl citrate (control) or polydioxanon (test) devices. At baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after surgery, clinical measurements were performed and standardized radiographs obtained (not at 18 months). Both treatments revealed a significant Gingival Index reduction, probing depth reduction, and vertical probing attachment level gain 24 months after surgery. Both treatments showed slight resorption of the crestal alveolar ridge after 24 months, which failed to reach statistical significance. A statistically significant bone gain within the infrabony pockets was measured for both treatment options 24 months postsurgical. Regarding Gingival Index and probing depth reduction as well as vertical probing attachment level and bone gain, there were neither statistically significant nor clinically relevant differences between test and control barriers. The use of both biodegradable barriers in GTR therapy may be recommended.

Abstract

The furcation involvement of 100 molars in 25 patients suffering from moderate to advanced periodontitis was investigated. The horizontal probing attachment level (PAL-H) within the furcations was assessed 2x within 2 weeks using the pressure-calibrated (0.25 N) flexible plastic universal explorer version of the TPS probe (TPS). To determine the measurement error of PAL-H assessments, the standard deviation of single measurements was calculated. The measurements were repeated using a colour-coded Nabers probe and compared to the TPS assessments. 253 furcations were evaluated (100 buccal, 47 lingual, 53 mesiolingual and 53 distolingual, respectively). For buccal, lingual, mesiolingual and distolingual furcations, the standard deviations were 0.486 mm, 0.598 mm, 0.846 mm, 1.039 mm, respectively. Measurement error was less in buccal and lingual furcations than in mesiolingual and distolingual sites (p < 0.005). The agreement of replicate measurements of furcation degrees was excellent for buccal and lingual furcations (weighted kappa [standard error] 0.824 [0.076] and 0.779 [0.107], respectively), but only moderate for mesiolingual and distolingual furcations (weighted kappa 0.688 [0.096] and 0.544 [0.101], respectively). Only in distolingual sites there was a significant (p < 0.025; paired t-test) underestimation of PAL-H by the TPS as compared to the Nabers probe. At all locations the TPS underestimated furcation degrees significantly (p < 0.1; Stuart-Maxwell's chi 2) as compared to Nabers probe. Measurement error of mesiolingual and distolingual furcations was significantly higher than of buccal or lingual sites. The reproducibility of PAL-H measurements in furcations using TPS is comparable to data published for scorings with colour-coded Nabers probes. Through and through furcations are likely to be underestimated by using the flexible plastic version of the TPS probe. Hence, it seems to be unsuitable for a proper assessment of the degree of furcation involvement.

Abstract

Lumbar spine radiographs in 47 patients with manifest or clinically suspected osteoporosis were evaluated, using a staging system, and correlated to quantitative computed tomography (QCT) of lumbar vertebrae. The accuracy of osteoporosis assessment, obtained with plain film analysis, was 60%, the sensitivity 67%, the specificity 56%. Statistical correlation showed high standard deviation of each of the QCT-mean values according to the respective stage groups, and altogether poor linear correlation between increasing morphological stages of osteoporosis and decreasing QCT-values. As our results show plain film differentiation of normal from reduced trabecular bone mineral content is unreliable, even by use of a staging system. The diagnostic value of spine radiographs therefore remains limited to demonstration of advanced osteoporotic changes.

Abstract

The phenotypic and nucleic acid properties of Klebsiella pneumoniae have been studied on cultures obtained from six different habitats (humans, vegetables, seeds, trees, rivers, and pulp mills). The 19 cultural reactions of 107 isolates varied significantly only in tryptophanase activity and dulcitol fermentation. The percentage of guanine plus cytosine base composition of 41 isolates varied from 53.9 to 59.2%. The range of percentage of guanine plus cytosine base composition for environmental klebsiellas was broader than that for the cultures of human origin. The range of deoxyribonucleic acid relative reassociation (homology) to the human K. pneumoniae reference strain extended from 5% to 100% and the chromosome molecular weights ranged from 2,200 x 10(6) to 3,000 x 10(6). The species of K. pneumoniae is thus molecularly more heterogeneous than previously thought and most isolates of human, pulp mill, and river origin are genetically indistinguishable. The presence of K. pneumoniae therefore represents a deterioration of the microbiological quality of the environment and should be considered of public health significance. At the present time the health significance of the molecularly more divergent strains, primarily of vegetable and seed origin, their relationship to klebsiellas of human origin, or to other genera of the Enterobacteriaceae is unclear.

48. Increased susceptibility of rainbow trout to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus after exposure to copper.

Author

Hetrick FM, Knittel MD, and Fryer JL

Abstract

Exposure of rainbow trout to sublethal levels of copper in water increased their susceptibility to infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. In most instances, the percent mortality was twice as great in the stressed groups compared with those groups which were not stressed but received the same virus dose. Although the level of copper in the water influenced the mortality rates, the length of exposure did not prove to be critical, as similar results were obtained after 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 days of exposure. When different virus challenges were employed, the percent mortalities were again greater in the stressed fish at all virus doses tested, and at one dose level mortalities were noted in the stressed group but not in the untreated group.

Abstract

Growth, survival, and pathogenicity of Klebsiella growing in and on environmental foci were examined. Total coliforms present in raw wastes from pulp mills were in excess of 10(5)/ml, and 60 to 80% were Klebsiella. Fecal coliform counts ranged from 10(1) to 10(5)/ml. Klebsiella isolates from industrial effluents and a variety of human and bovine mastitis origins multiplied in pulp waste and commonly exceeded 10(6) cells per ml. Pathogenic isolates also multiplied in dilute aqueous extracts of sawdust to comparable levels. Klebsiella strains from vegetable surfaces and human infections grew rapidly on the surfaces of potatoes and lettuce and exceeded 10(3) organisms per g of surface peel and leaf after a 24h incubation at room temperature. After 7 weeks on potatoes stored at 5 degrees C, some 10 to 30% of the day 1 Klebsiella counts were recoverable. Three Klebsiella isolates of pathogenic origin were passed 45 times through sterile pulp effluent (270 generations), and mean lethal dose levels in mice were periodically monitored. In two instances, a significant decrease in virulence was noted after 15 to 26 passes (90 to 156 generations). The third culture, of bovine mastitis origin, retained its original mean lethal dose value. Botanical milieu provided suitable habitats for the multiplication and colonization of Klebsiella isolates of disease origins in the same manner as indigenous isolates. Aquatic environments polluted with botanical material served as potential reservoirs for perpetuating the growth and spread of opportunistic Klebsiella pathogens that may ultimately colonize animals, humans, and aquatic organisms.
