Abstract

The Refeeding Syndrome (RFS) is a serious complication in patients receiving nutrition support after a period of severe malnutrition. We frequently recognize and diagnose the RFS due to increased awareness. Thus, we observe that many physicians do not know the RFS and that it is rarely diagnosed. The aim of the study was to determine whether physicians in Germany know the RFS. A questionnaire with a case vignette about an older person who developed the RFS after initiation of nutritional therapy was submitted to German physicians and fifth year medical students, who were participants of educational lectures. Of the 281 participants who answered the respective question, 40 participants (14%) correctly diagnosed the RFS of the case vignette and 21 participants (8%) gave nearly correct answers. Indeed, the majority of the participants did not diagnose the RFS. Although the RFS may lead to fatal complications, it is unknown to the majority of the queried physicians. Therefore, there is a call to implement the RFS in respective curricula and increase systematic education on this topic.

Abstract

Objectives Objective of this study was to analyse the association between impairment of Barthel Index items and hematologic parameters in geriatric inpatients. Methods Patient recruitment of the “GeriPravalenz2013” study has been described before. Inclusion criteria: in-patient aged > = 70 years; exclusion criteria: actual cancer disease or cancer associated treatment. Anemia was defined according to WHO criteria. Physical impairment was assessed by Barthel Index (BI). Association between all 10 items of the BI and hematologic parameters was statistically evaluated. Results Anemia prevalence was 55.1% (319/579) with BI impairment in 96.2% patients. T-test revealed significant lower BI in anemic patients (47.9 vs 54.3; p = 0.004). Binary logistic regression revealed that growing age, reduced MCV, reduced iron levels and reduced Hb levels were associated with increased impairment of several items of the Barthel-Index. Interestingly, increased levels of albumin and folic acid (FA) were associated with increased impairment of BI items. Conclusion Anemia and lower levels of anemia related parameters showed a negative impact on ADL and physical performance based on BI items. An impaired total BI should result in an analysis of BI subitems, particularly if anemia related laboratory parameters are deviant. Reasons for the negative impact of elevated FA and albumin levels on BI remain speculative.

Abstract

For the diagnosis, prevention and therapy of malnutrition, it is important to estimate the energy and fluid requirements of an individual patient. To our knowledge, it is unknown how accurately medical doctors can estimate the energy and fluid requirements of patients in a clinical routine situation. Hence, we conducted the following survey. A written face-to-face survey about the energy and fluid requirements of and tube feeding and fluid recommendations for a typical patient was performed with 179 medical doctors. An estimation error of >15% was defined as relevant. The results revealed substantial variations in estimating the energy and fluid needs of the patient. A total of 25% of the participants underestimated the energy requirements, and 47% of the participants underestimated the fluid requirements. In addition, 68% of the participants recommended a daily dose of tube feeding that was

Abstract

Fragestellung: Altere Menschen haben ein erhohtes Risiko fur Mangelernahrung und sind haufig von Mangelernahrung betroffen. Dabei besteht oft Unklarheit daruber, welche Masnahmen in bestimmten Situationen fur die Betroffenen von Nutzen sind. Ziel der vorliegenden Leitlinie ist es, evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zur klinischen Ernahrung alterer Menschen zu geben, um Mangelernahrung so weit wie moglich zu vermeiden bzw. zu behandeln. Material und Methodik: Die bestehenden Leitlinien der deutschen und europaischen ernahrungsmedizinischen Fachgesellschaften (DGEM, ESPEN) zur enteralen und parenteralen Ernahrung wurden zusammengefuhrt und in Einklang mit den Richtlinien der AWMF und des AZQ aktualisiert und erweitert. Ergebnisse: Die Leitlinie beinhaltet 60 konsentierte Empfehlungen zur Ernahrungsversorgung alterer Menschen hinsichtlich grundlegender Prinzipien klinischer Ernahrung, relevanter Indikationen (allgemeine Indikation, Mangelernahrung und Risiko fur Mangelernahrung, Gebrechlichkeit, Dysphagie, Huftfrakturen, Depression, Demenz, Dekubitus, Delir) sowie spezifischer Struktur- und Prozessanforderungen fur die Ernahrungsversorgung in geriatrischen Institutionen. Generell sollen Ernahrungsmasnahmen bei alteren Menschen mit einem Risiko fur Mangelernahrung oder mit Mangelernahrung ergriffen werden, um eine adaquate Zufuhr von Energie und Nahrstoffen zu ermoglichen und die gravierenden Folgen von Mangelernahrung zu vermeiden. Dabei kann die orale Ernahrung durch ursachenorientierte, pflegerische und diatetische Masnahmen gefordert werden. Enterale bzw. parenterale Ernahrung sollten initiiert werden, wenn die orale bzw. enterale Nahrungsaufnahme unzureichend oder unmoglich und die Verlaufsprognose insgesamt positiv ist (nicht in terminalen Krankheitsstadien). Schlussfolgerung: Unabhangig von der Indikation muss die Entscheidung fur oder gegen bestimmte Masnahmen immer individuell unter sorgfaltiger Nutzen-Risiko-Abwagung, Berucksichtigung des (mutmaslichen) Patientenwillens und der Prognose getroffen werden. Es wird empfohlen, Ernahrungsmasnahmen nicht erst bei schwerer Mangelernahrung zu beginnen, sondern fruhzeitig, sobald Hinweise auf Ernahrungsrisiken vorliegen.

Abstract

Anemia and malnutrition are risk factors for frailty in older people but data from multicenter studies among German geriatric inpatients are lacking. This analysis evaluated data from the multicenter study “GerAnaemie2013” commissioned by the German Geriatric Society. The study involved an analysis of the 579 geriatric inpatients recruited in the context of the German multicenter study “GeriAnaemie2013”. Study parameters: Barthel index (BI), handgrip strength, nutritional data (e.g. loss of appetite, loss of weight and decreased food intake). Inclusion criteria: in-patient age ≥70 years, exclusion criteria: current cancer disease or cancer-associated treatment. Anemia was defined according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. The mean age of patients was 81.9 years, overall prevalence of anemia 55.1 %, mean hemoglobin (Hb) level 11.9 g/dl, average BI 50.8 points and 30.3 % of all patients were at risk of malnutrition. While univariate analysis revealed a significantly lower BI in anemic patients, this association was no longer seen in multivariate analysis. Regression analysis revealed that a drug intake of > 5 drugs/day doubles the chance of suffering from anemia with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.17 (confidence interval (CI) 1.28–3.68, p = 0.004) as well as a serum albumin level below 3.5 g/dl with an adjusted OR of 2.11 (range 1.40–3.19, p < 0.001). Polymedication and low serum albumin were independent risk factors for anemia in geriatric patients, probably reflecting disease severity.

Abstract

Durchgefuhrt wurde eine retrospektive Evaluation der diagnostischen Wertigkeit der cCT-Perfusion in der Diagnostik dementer Patienten im Vergleich zum Mini-Mental-State-Test (MMSE). Datensatze von 55 Patienten wurden untersucht. Bei allen Patienten wurden eine native, eine KM-gestutzte und eine Perfusions-CT des Neurokraniums angefertigt. Die klinische Erhebung des Demenzgrades erfolgte mit dem MMSE. In den Datensatzen der cCT-Perfusion wurden 24 ROI markiert. Anschliesend wurden Blutvolumen (BV), Blutfluss (BF) und mittlere Transitzeit (MTZ) berechnet und intra- und interhemisphariell sowie mit dem Demenzgrad verglichen. Mit steigendem Demenzgrad zeigten sich eine signifikante Abnahme des BV in der Okzipital- sowie in der Temporalregion. Der BF verringerte sich signifikant im Frontallappen, in der Basalganglien- und der Okzipitalregion. Gleichzeitig konnte eine signifikante Zunahme der MTZ in der Basalganglienregion gemessen werden. Die Gruppe mit Alzheimer-Demenz zeigte eine signifikante Abnahme des BF im Vergleich zur Gruppe der normalen Kandidaten in der Frontal-, Basalganglien-, Okzipital- und Temporalregion. Es war eine Verminderung der zerebralen Durchblutung mit fortschreitender Demenz zu beobachten. Die kostengunstige und nahezu ubiquitar verfugbare cCT-Perfusion liefert Informationen uber regionale zerebrale Perfusionsunterschiede, die eine Graduierung der Demenz erlauben und bei der Differenzierung der Demenzarten hilfreich sein konnen.

Abstract

Nutritional intake is often compromised in elderly, multimorbid patients. Enteral nutrition (EN) by means of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and tube feeding (TF) offers the possibility to increase or to insure nutrient intake in case of insufficient oral food intake. The present guideline is intended to give evidence-based recommendations for the use of ONS and TF in geriatric patients. It was developed by an interdisciplinary expert group in accordance with officially accepted standards and is based on all relevant publications since 1985. The guideline was discussed and accepted in a consensus conference. EN by means of ONS is recommended for geriatric patients at nutritional risk, in case of multimorbidity and frailty, and following orthopaedic-surgical procedures. In elderly people at risk of undernutrition ONS improve nutritional status and reduce mortality. After orthopaedic-surgery ONS reduce unfavourable outcome. TF is clearly indicated in patients with neurologic dysphagia. In contrast, TF is not indicated in final disease states, including final dementia, and in order to facilitate patient care. Altogether, it is strongly recommended not to wait until severe undernutrition has developed, but to start EN therapy early, as soon as a nutritional risk becomes apparent.

Abstract

Objective: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement is an established therapy for portal hypertension that leads to variceal bleeding or refractory ascites. We present experiences of the role of TIPS at a liver transplantation center. Material and Methods: One hundred and ten patients were referred to the Radiological Department for TIPS placement. One of the 110 patients had recurrent cirrhosis after liver transplantation with refractory ascites. Function of the TIPS was controlled with Doppler US at 1 day, 1 week, 4 weeks and 4 months after TIPS placement and subsequently every 3 months. Shunt insufficiency was supposed when the blood flow velocity within the stent tract was under 50 cm/s and was an indication for TIPS revision. Results: TIPS was placed in 101 patients. After TIPS placement, 10 patients underwent liver transplantation. While waiting for the new liver, none of them developed variceal rebleeding, ascites or other complications of portal hypertension. Two of the 101 patients had episodes of rebleeding. The frequency of patients undergoing TIPS revision within the first year after TIPS placement was 67.5%, within the second year 38.0% and within the third year 24.4%. The revisions led to sufficient reduction of the portosystemic pressure gradient. Conclusion: In some liver transplant candidates, TIPS can be useful in minimizing the risk of complications of portal hypertension during the waiting time for a liver transplantation. TIPS can be monitored by Doppler US and revised if occlusion occurs.

Abstract

A 51 year old woman with a two year history of ulcerative colitis developed a wide spread gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of low grade malignancy (MALT-lymphoma) involving upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, spleen, and bone marrow. After chemotherapy, clinical symptoms improved and lymphocytic infiltrates disappeared. Thirty nine cases of ulcerative colitis and 22 cases of Crohn's disease complicated by gastrointestinal lymphomas reported in published works are reviewed. In inflammatory bowel diseases any dense lymphocytic infiltrates seen in biopsy specimens obtained from ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease should be assessed to exclude gastrointestinal lymphoma.

Abstract

This study was done to determine glucagon's effect on protein biliary excretion in anesthetized, bile duct-cannulated guinea pigs. Glucagon (1.4 nmol.min-1.kg-1) induced choleresis and increased protein biliary concentration from 0.12 +/- 0.04 to 0.20 +/- 0.6 mg/ml and protein output from 22.8 +/- 3.8 to 54.5 +/- 16.1 micrograms.kg-1.min-1. Protein biliary excretion increased during the first 10 min of glucagon infusion and progressively declined thereafter. Biochemical analysis of biliary protein revealed that the increase could be accounted for primarily by an increase in the lysosomal enzymes acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase. Biliary excretion of the canalicular membrane enzymes 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase only modestly increased, whereas that of [14C]sucrose, a marker of paracellular fluid transport, was unaffected. On the other hand, glucagon enhanced biliary entry of horseradish peroxidase in a fashion similar to that observed with total endogenous protein. These effects were mediated by the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) system, since infusion of dibutyryl-cAMP at 0.5 mumol.kg-1.min-1 increased bile flow and biliary protein excretion in a time-dependent manner, as observed with glucagon. Glucagon's failure to sustain enhanced protein biliary output was not due to declining hepatic concentrations of cAMP or to depletion of hepatocellular lysosomal enzymes. These studies provide evidence that glucagon stimulates biliary excretion of protein in guinea pigs that can be accounted for by biliary discharge of enzyme originating from the canalicular membrane and, primarily, from the lysosomal compartment. Although the precise mechanism(s) underlying these effects remains to be elucidated, it is suggested that the increase in canalicular membrane enzyme excretion is due to glucagon's effect on exocytosis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract

We present preliminary astrometric results for the closest known brown dwarf binary to the Sun: Epsilon Indi Ba, Bb at a distance of 3.626 pc. Via ongoing monitoring of the relative separation of the two brown dwarfs (spectral types T1 and T6) with the VLT NACO near-IR adaptive optics system since June 2004, we obtain a model-independent dynamical total mass for the system of 121 MJup, some 60% larger than the one obtained by McCaughrean et al. (2004), implying that the system may be as old as 5 Gyr. We have also been monitoring the absolute astrometric motions of the system using the VLT FORS2 optical imager since August 2005 to determine the individual masses. We predict a periastron passage in early 2010, by which time the system mass will be constrained to < 1 MJup and we will be able to determine the individual masses accurately in a dynamical, model-independent manner., To appear in proceedings of Cool Stars XV, 5 pages, 2 figures, slightly expanded version

Abstract

The present studies were carried out to clarify the mechanism of glucagon choleresis in guinea pigs. At the infusion rate of 1.4 nmol.min-1.kg-1, glucagon increased bile flow from 206.6 +/- 14.3 to 302.6 +/- 35.0 microliters.min-1.kg-1 and bicarbonate biliary concentration from 63.7 +/- 4.2 to 75.5 +/- 5.9 meq/l. Measurements of bile acid excretion in bile, the biliary tree volume, and of the hormone choleretic effect in guinea pigs with proliferated bile ductules/ducts induced by alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate feeding indicated that glucagon, unlike secretin, stimulated canalicular bile flow. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by indomethacin administration (5 mg.kg-1.h-1) did not modify the choleretic effect of glucagon, and infusion of a glucagon analogue (TH-glucagon, 1.4 nmol.min-1.kg-1), which did not increase hepatic formation of adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), failed to stimulate bile flow. Like the parent hormone, however, TH-glucagon augmented plasma glucose levels and stimulated formation of inositol phosphates. Colchicine pretreatment (0.5 mg/kg ip) almost entirely prevented the choleretic effect of glucagon but did not modify spontaneous and bile acid-induced bile flow and the stimulatory effect of the hormone on glucose release and on hepatic formation of cAMP and inositol phosphates. Finally, glucagon produced a large increase in the biliary entry of horseradish peroxidase, even though this effect was transient and was not coupled to the increase in bile flow. These results indicate that glucagon choleresis in the guinea pig is not secondary to prostaglandin release, is canalicular in origin, involves bicarbonate secretion, is mediated by cAMP, and requires an intact microtubular system.

Abstract

The diagnostic value of perfusion CT in dementia patients was retrospectively evaluated in comparison to the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).The perfusion CT database of 55 subjects was investigated. All patients underwent an unenhanced, contrast-enhanced, and perfusion CT of the head. The clinical evaluation of the degree of dementia was performed with the MMSE. In the perfusion CT data, 24 ROI were marked. Then blood volume (BV), blood flow (BF), and mean transit time (MTT) were calculated and compared with the ipsilateral and contralateral regions and with the degree of dementia.With increasing degree of dementia, a significant decrease of the occipital and temporal BV was found. A significant decrease of the BF in the frontal lobe, basal ganglia, and occipital region was found. Concurrently, the MTT increased significantly in the basal ganglia region. The group with Alzheimer's disease showed significant regional hypoperfusion compared with the group of cognitively normal subjects in the frontal, basal ganglia, occipital, and temporal region.The cerebral perfusion decreased with increasing degree of dementia. The inexpensive and widely available perfusion CT reveals information about regional differences of cerebral perfusion, which may be useful in differentiating severity and types of dementia.

Abstract

In view of the increasing numbers of elderly citizens in the general population, there is a need to ensure that they receive medical care within a setting of independence preservation and, wherever possible, within the domestic environment. Preventive house calls can contribute greatly to efforts made to achieve this aim. The implementation of this effective instrument should be in the hands of a team of specially trained family doctors, nurses and geriatric care-providers. During a house call, a multidimensional geriatric assessment covering such aspects as mobility, nutritional status, somatosensory status, and domestic and social environment, should be made. Of essential importance is the long-term care of the geriatric patient, which can be realized by the family doctor via repeated house calls. Current cost/benefit analyses clearly favor anchoring the preventive house calls in the public health service.

We report the detection of a possible subsolar mass companion to the triple young system TY CrA using the NACO instrument at the VLT UT4 during its commissioning. Assuming for TY CrA a distance similar to that of the close binary system HD 176386, the photometric spectral type of this fourth stellar component candidate is consistent with an ~M4 star. We discuss the dynamical stability of this possible quadruple system as well as the possible location of dusty particles inside or outside the system., 4 pages, 2 figures postscript

Abstract

We present new high angular resolution observations at near-IR wavelengths of the core of the Luminous Blue Variable Eta Carinae, using NAOS-CONICA at the VLT and VINCI at the VLT Interferometer (VLTI). The latter observations provide spatial information on a scale of 5 milli-arcsec or ~11 AU at the distance of Eta Carinae. The present-day stellar wind of Eta Carinae is resolved on a scale of several stellar radii. Assuming spherical symmetry, we find a mass loss rate of 1.6x10^{-3} M_sun/yr and a wind clumping factor of 0.26. The VLTI data taken at a baseline of 24 meter show that the object is elongated with a de-projected axis ratio of approximately 1.5; the major axis is aligned with that of the large bi-polar nebula that was ejected in the 19th century. The most likely explanation for this observation is a counter-intuitive model in which stellar rotation near the critical velocity causes enhanced mass loss along the rotation axis. This results from the large temperature difference between pole and equator in rapidly rotating stars. Eta Carinae must rotate in excess of 90 per cent of its critical velocity to account for the observed shape. The large outburst may have been shaped in a similar way. Our observations provide strong support for the existence of a theoretically predicted rotational instability, known as the Omega limit., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in A&A letters

28. Malnutrition im Alter

Author

E. Steinhagen-Thiessen and R. Lenzen-Großimlinghaus

Abstract

Im Rahmen des Alterungsprozesses kommt es zu physiologischen Veranderungen des Organismus, woraus sich funktionelle Einschrankungen ergeben, die aber noch keinen Krankheitswert per se haben. An diesen Altersveranderungen der verschiedenen Organe und des gesamten Organismus sind sowohl extrinsische (umweltbedingte) wie intrinsiche (genetisch bedingte) Faktoren beteiligt. Eine der wichtigsten extrinsischen Einflussgrosen stellt die Ernahrung des alteren Menschen dar. Diese wiederum hat direkten Einfluss auf die Lebensqualitat und die Lebenserwartung des Menschen.

Abstract

Searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson have been performed in the data collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP in the year 2000 at centre-of-mass energies between 200 and 209 GeV corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 224 pb-1. No evidence for a Higgs signal is observed in the kinematically accessible mass range, and a 95% CL lower mass limit of 114.3 GeV/c2 is set, to be compared with an expected median limit of 113.5 GeV/c2 for these data. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

A search for pair-production of neutralinos at a LEP centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV gave no evidence for a signal. This limits the neutralino production cross-section and excludes regions in the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM).

Abstract

The semileptonic branching fractions for primary and cascade b decays BR(b → l-), BR(b → c → l+) and BR(b → c̄ → l- were measured in hadronic Z decays collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP. The sample was enriched in b decays using the lifetime information and various techniques were used to separate leptons from direct or cascade b decays. By fitting the momentum spectra of di-leptons in opposite jets, the average b mixing parameter x̄ was also extracted. The following results have been obtained: (equation presented).

Abstract

An update of the search for sleptons, neutralinos and charginos in the context of scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino and the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle is a slepton, is presented, together with the update of the search for heavy stable charged particles in light gravitino scenarios and Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Models. Data collected in 1999 with the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies around 192, 196, 200 and 202 GeV were analysed. No evidence for the production of these supersymmetric particles was found. Hence, new mass limits were derived at 95% confidence level. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

A measurement of the W mass and width has been performed by the DELPHI Collaboration using the data collected during 1998. The data sample has an integrated luminosity of 155 pb-1 and an average centre-of-mass energy of 188.6 GeV. Results are obtained by applying the method of direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the W+W- → lvlqq′ and W+W- → qq′qq′ channels. The W mass result for the 1998 data set is MW = 80.387 ± 0.087(stat) ± 0.034(syst) ± 0.017(LEP) ± 0.035(FSI) GeV/c2, where FSI represents the uncertainty due to final state interaction effects in the qq′qq′ channel, and LEP represents that arising from the knowledge of the beam energy of the accelerator. Combining this result with those previously published by the DELPHI Collaboration gives the result MW = 80.359 ± 0.074(stat) ± 0.032(syst) ± 0.017(LEP) ± 0.033(FSI) GeV/c2. The combined value for the W width is λW = 2.266 ± 0.176(stat)± 0.056(syst)± 0.052(FSI) GeV/c2. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Data taken by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 183 GeV and 189 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 212 pb-1 have been used to search for the supersymmetric partners of the electrons, muons, and taus in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The decay topologies searched for were the direct decay (ℓ̃ → ℓx̃), producing acoplanar lepton pairs plus missing energy, and the cascade decay (ℓ → ℓx̃02 → ℓγx̃01), producing acoplanar lepton and photon pairs plus missing energy. The observed number of events is in agreement with Standard Model predictions. The 95% CL excluded mass limits for selectrons, smuons and staus are mẽ ≤ 87 GeV/c2, mμ̃ ≤ 80 GeV/c2 and mτ̃ 75 GeV/c2, respectively, for values of μ=-200 GeV/c2 and tanβ=1.5.

Abstract

A new precise measurement of |Vcb| and of the branching ratio BR(B̄0 → D*+ℓ-v̄ℓ) has been performed using a sample of about 5000 semileptonic decays B̄0 → D*+ℓ-v̄ℓ, selected by the DELPHI detector at LEP I by tagging the soft pion from D*+ → D0π+. The results are: Vcb = (39.0 ± 1.5 (stat.)-2.6 +2.5 (syst. exp.) ± 1.3 (syst. th.)) × 10-3, BR(B̄0 → D*+ℓ-v̄ℓ) = (4.70 ± 0.13 (stat.)-0.31 +0.36 (syst. exp.))%. The analytic dependencies of the differential cross-section and of the Isgur-Wise form factor as functions of the variable w = vB0 · vD* have also been obtained by unfolding the experimental resolution. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

Progressive cerebrovascular atherosclerosis and consecutive stroke are among the most common causes of dementia. However, specific risk factors for vascular dementia are still not known. Human telomeres shorten with each cell division in vitro and with donor age in vivo. In human fibroblasts in vitro, the telomere shortening rate decreased with increasing antioxidative capacity. There was a good intra-individual correlation between the age-corrected telomere lengths in fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In 186 individuals including 149 geriatric patients (age range, 55-98 yr), leukocyte telomeres in patients with probable or possible vascular dementia were significantly shorter than in three age-matched control groups, namely in cognitively competent patients suffering from cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease alone, in patients with probable Alzheimer's dementia, and in apparently healthy control subjects. No correlation was found to polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein E and glutathione-S-transferase genes. Telomere length may be an independent predictor for the risk of vascular dementia.

Abstract

A search for stable and long-lived heavy charged particles was performed using the data taken by the DELPHI experiment at an energy of 189 GeV. The Cherenkov light detected in the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector and the ionisation loss measured in the Time Projection Chamber were used to identify heavy particles passing through the detector. No evidence for the production of such particles has been found, therefore exclusion limits at 95% confidence level were derived on the masses of left and right handed smuons and staus. The results were combined with previous DELPHI searches in this channel. Including previous DELPHI results, masses of left (right) handed stable smuons and staus can be excluded between 2 GeV/c(2) and 88 (87.5) GeV/c(2) at 95% CL. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

The τ polarisation has been studied with the e+e- → τ+τ- data collected by the DELPHI detector at LEP in 1993, 1994 and 1995 around the Z resonance firstly through the exclusive decay channels evv̄, μvvμ, πv, ρv, and a1v and secondly with an inclusive hadronic analysis which benefits from a higher efficiency and a better systematic precision. The results have been combined with those previously published on 1990 to 1992 DELPHI data, to produce results which reflect the full LEP-1 statistics. The fit of the τ polarisation dependence on the production angle yielded the polarisation parameters Aτ = 0.1359 ± 0.0096 and Ae = 0.1382 ± 0.0116. From these results the ratio of the vector and axial-vector effective couplings v̄τ/āτ = 0.0683 ± 0.0048 and v̄e/āe = 0.0694 ± 0.0058 have been derived, compatible with e-τ universality. With the assumption of lepton universality, the ratio of vector to axial-vector effective couplings for leptons v̄ι/āι = 0.0687 ± 0.0037 was obtained, implying a value of the effective weak mixing angle sin2 θlepteff= 0.23282 ± 0.00092.

Abstract

{The ratio of the CKM quark-mixing matrix elements \textbackslash{}V-ub\textbackslash{}/\textbackslash{}V-cb\textbackslash{ } has been measured using B hadron semileptonic decays. The analysis uses the reconstructed mass M-X of the secondary hadronic system produced in association with an identified lepton. Since B --> X(u)l (v) over bar transitions are characterised by hadronic masses below those of the D mesons produced in B --> X(c)l (v) over bar transitions, events with a reconstructed value of M-X significantly below the D mass are selected. Further signal enrichments are obtained using the topology of reconstructed decays and hadron identification. A fit to the numbers of decays in the b --> u enriched and depleted samples with M-X above and below 1.6 GeV/c(2) and to the shapes of the lepton energy distribution in the B rest frame gives \textbackslash{}V-ub\textbackslash{}/\textbackslash{}V-cb\textbackslash{ } = 0.103 (+0.011)(-0.012) (stat.) +/- 0.016(syst.) +/- 0.010(model) and, correspondingly, a charmless semileptonic B decay branching fraction of BR(B --> X(u)l (v) over bar)= (1.57 +/- 0.35 (stat.) +/- 0.48(syst.) +/- 0.27(model)) x 10(-3).

Abstract

The data collected by DELPHI in 1998 at the centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV have been used to update the search for charginos nearly mass-degenerate with the lightest supersymmetric particle, which is assumed to be the lightest neutralino. Mass differences below Delta M = 3 GeV/c(2) are considered. No excess of events with respect to the Standard Model expectation has been observed, and exclusions in the plane of Delta M versus chargino mass are given. The new Delta M independent lower limit on the mass of the chargino is 62.4 GeV/c(2) in the higgsino scenario (which includes the gaugino mass unification scenario), if all sfermions are heavier than the lightest chargino. In the approximation of large sfermion masses the limit is 59.8 GeV/c(2), independently of the field content. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

The longitudinal polarization of the Lambda(b) baryon is measured at the LEP e(+)e(-) collider by DELPHI. It is determined from the charged lepton and neutrino energy spectra in 249 +/- 19 Lambda(b) semileptonic decays reconstructed in approximate to 3.5 million hadronic Z(0) decays using Lambda(0)-lepton correlations. The measured polarization is: P-Lambda b = -0.49(-0.30)(+0.32)(stat.) +/- 0.17(syst.). (C) Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Searches for pair production of supersymmctric particles in e+e- collision at centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV have been performed on DELPHI data under the assumption that R-parity is not conserved. Only one R-parity violating coupling of λ type, which couples the sleptous to the leptons (LLĒ erm), is considered to be dominant at a time. Since in models with R-parity violation any supersymmetic particlr can be the lightest one, searches for charginos, neutralinos, sleptons and squarks have been perfomed both for direct R-parity violating decays and for indirect cascade decays. Morever, it is assumed that the strength of the R-parity violating couplings is such that the lifetimes can be neglected. The present study of supersymmetric particle pair production is used to exclude domains of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model parameter space previously explored under the assumption of R-parity conservation.

Abstract

Production of Sigma(-) and Lambda(1520) in hadronic Z decays has been measured using the DELPHI detector at LEP. The Sigma(-) is directly reconstructed as a charged track in the DELPHI microvertex detector and is identified by its Sigma –> n pi decay leading to a kink between the Sigma(-) and pi-track. The reconstruction of the Lambda(1520) resonance relies strongly on the particle identification capabilities of the barrel Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector and on the ionisation loss measurement of the TPC. Inclusive production spectra are measured for both particles. The production rates are measured to be [NSigma-/N-Z(had)] = 0.081 +/- 0.002 +/- 0.010, [N-Lambda(1520)/N-Z(had)] = 0.029 +/- 0.005 +/- 0.005. The production rate of the Lambda(1520) suggests that a large fraction of the stable baryons descend from orbitally excited baryonic states. It is shown that the baryon production rates in Z decays follow a universal phenomenological law related to isospin, strangeness and mass of the particles. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

Lifetime and oscillations of B0s mesons have been studied in events with a large transverse momentum lepton and a Ds of opposite electric charge in the same hemisphere, selected from about, 3.6 million hadronic Z0 decays accumulated by DELPHI between 1992 and 1995. The B0s lifetime and the fractional width difference between the two physical B0s states have been found to be: τB0s = (1.42+0.14-0.13(stat.) ± 0.03(syst.)) ps ΔΓB0s/ΓB0s < 0.46 at the 95% C.L. In the latter result it has been assumed that τB0s = τB0d. Using the same sample, a limit on the mass difference between the physical B0s states has been set: ΔmB0s > 7.4 ps-1 at the 95% C.L. with a corresponding sensitivity equal to 8.1 ps-1.

Abstract

Sleptons, neutralinos and charginos were searched for in the context of scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino. It was assumed that the stau is the next-to-ligntest supersymmetric particle. Data collected with the DELPHI detector at a centre-of-mass energy near 189 GeV were analysed combining the methods developed in previous searches at lower energies. No evidence for the production of these supersymmetric particles was found. Hence, limits were derived at 95% confidence level.

Abstract

The DELPHI detector at LEP has collected 54 pb(-1) of data at a centre-of-mass energy around 183 GeV during 1997, 158 pb(-1) around 189 GeV during 1998, and 187 pb(-1) between 192 and 200 GeV during 1999. These data were used to measure the average charged particle multiplicity in e(+)e(-)->b (b) over bar events: (n)(b (b) over bar), and the difference delta(hl) between (n)(b (b) over bar) and the multiplicity, (n)(l (l) over bar), in generic light quark (u,d,s) events: delta(hl)(183 GeV) = 4.55 +/- 1.31(stat) +/- 0.73(syst), delta(hl)(189 GeV) = 4.43 +/- 0.85(stat) +/- 0.61(syst), delta(hl)(200 GeV) = 3.39 +/- 0.89(stat) +/- 1.01 (syst). This result is consistent with QCD predictions, while it is inconsistent with calculations assuming that the multiplicity accompanying the decay of a heavy quark is independent of the: mass of the quark itself.

Abstract

Searches for charginos, neutralinos and sleptons at LEP2 centre-of-mass energies from 130 GeV to 189 GeV have been used to set lower limits on the mass of the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and other supersymmetric particles within the MSSM framework. R-parity conservation has been assumed. The lightest neutralino was found to be heavier than GeV/c(2) independent of the m(0) value. The Lightest chargino, the second-to-lightest neutralino, the next-to-heaviest neutralino, the heaviest neutralino, the sneutrino and the right-handed selectron were found to be heavier than 62.4 GeV/c2, 62.4 GeV/c(2), 99.9 GeV/c(2), 116.0 GeV/c(2), 61.0 GeV/c(2), and 87.0 GeV/c(2), respectively. These limits do not depend on m(0) or M-2 and are Valid for 1 less than or equal to tan beta less than or equal to 40, in the mu region where the lightest neutralino is the LSP. If the sneutrino is heavier than the chargino the lightest neutralino has to be heavier than 32.4 GeV/c(2). The effects of mixings in the third family of sfermions on these limits are discussed. The confidence level of all limits given is 95%. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

The probability P(c → D*+) that a charm quark fragments into a D*+ meson and the c → l+ semileptonic branching fraction were measured in Z0 decay into cc̄ events. From the analysis of 3.5 Million Z0 events collected from 1992 to 1995, a sample of charm meson decays with 81% cc̄ purity was selected. The product of the c → D*+ fragmentation probability times the D*+ → D0π+ branching fraction was measured to be: P(c → D*+) · BR(D*+ → D0π+) = 0.174 ± 0.010(stat) ± 0.004(syst). Using the world averaged value for BR(D*+ → D0π+), the fragmentation probability is inferred: P(c → D*+) = 0.255 ± 0.015(stat) ± 0.006(syst) ± 0.005(syst.BR). From the same sample, 1828 ± 51 identified leptons in the opposite hemisphere were selected. From this sample, the charm semileptonic branching fraction was measured to be: BR(c → l+) = 0.0958 ± 0.0042(stat) ± 0.0028(syst).

Abstract

{The cross-section for the process e(+)e(-) --> W+ W- has been measured with the data sample collected by DELPHI at an average centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 155 pb(-1). Based on the 2392 events selected as WW candidates, the cross-section for the doubly resonant process e(+)e(-) --> W+W- has been measured to be 15.83 +/- 0.38 (stat) +/- 0.20(syst)pb. The branching fractions of the W decay were also measured and found to be in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation. From these a value of the CKM mixing matrix element \textbackslash{} V-cs\textbackslash{} = 1.001 +/- 0.040 (stat) +/- 0.020(syst) was derived. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.}
