Abstract

Indroduction. At present, modern telemedicine methods are being introduced, that may contribute to reducing lack of qualified stroke patient care, particularly in less populated regions. With the help of video conferencing systems, a so-called neuromedical teleconsultation is carried out. Methods. The study included a multicentered, completely standardized survey of physicians in hospitals by means of a computerized on-line questionnaire. Descriptive statistical methods were used for data analysis. Results. 119 acute hospitals without neurology departments were included in the study. The most important reasons for participating in a teleneuromedical network is seen as the improvement in the quality of treatment (82%), the ability to avoid unnecessary patient transport (76%), easier and faster access to stroke expertise (72%) as well as better competitiveness among medical services (67%). The most significant problem areas are the financing system of teleneuromedicine with regard to the acquisition costs of the technical equipment (43%) and the compensation for the stroke-unit center with the specialists' consultation service (31%) as well as legal aspects of teleneuromedicine (27%). Conclusions. This investigation showed that there is a high acceptance for teleneuromedicine among co-operating hospitals. However these facilities have goals in addition to improved quality in stroke treatment. Therefore the use of teleneuromedicine must be also associated with long term incentives for the overall health care system, particularly since the implementation of a teleneuromedicine network system is time consuming and associated with high implementation costs.

Abstract

Several scores have been devised for providing a prognosis of outcomes after kidney transplantation. This study is a comprehensive test of these scores in a cohort of deceased donors with kidneys of lower-than-average quality and procurement biopsies. In total, 15 scores were tested on a retrospective cohort consisting of 221 donors, 223 procurement biopsies, and 223 recipient records for performance on delayed graft function, graft function, or death-censored graft loss. The best-performing score for DGF was the purely clinical Chapal score (AUC 0.709), followed by the Irish score (AUC 0.684); for graft function, the Nyberg score; and for transplant loss, the Snoeijs score (AUC 0.630) and the Leuven scores (AUCs 0.637 and 0.620). The only score with an acceptable performance was the Chapal score. Its disadvantage is that knowledge of the cold ischemia time is required, which is not known at allocation. None of the other scores performed acceptably. The scores fared better in discarded kidneys than in transplanted kidneys. Our study shows an unmet need for practical prognostic scores useful at the time of a decision about discarding or accepting deceased donor kidneys of lower-than-average quality in the Eurotransplant consortium.

Abstract

Abstract Signaling pathways of regulated necrosis, such as necroptosis and ferroptosis, contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI), but the role of pyroptosis is unclear. Pyroptosis is mediated by the pore-forming protein gasdermin D (GSDMD). Here, we report a specific pattern of GSDMD-protein expression in the peritubular compartment of mice that underwent bilateral ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI). Along similar lines, the GSDMD-protein expression in whole kidney lysates increased during the first 84 h following cisplatin-induced AKI. Importantly, unlike whole kidney lysates, no GSDMD-protein expression was detectable in isolated kidney tubules. In IRI and cisplatin-induced AKI, GSDMD-deficient mice exhibited hypersensitivity to injury as assessed by tubular damage, elevated markers of serum urea, and serum creatinine. This hypersensitivity was reversed by a combined deficiency of GSDMD and the necroptosis mediator mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL). In conclusion, we demonstrate a non-cell autonomous role for GSDMD in protecting the tubular compartment from necroptosis-mediated damage in IRI.

Abstract

The largest bottleneck to the development of convolutional neural network (CNN) models in the computational pathology domain is the collection and curation of diverse training datasets. Training CNNs requires large cohorts of image data, and model generalizability is dependent on training data heterogeneity. Including data from multiple centers enhances the generalizability of CNN-based models, but this is hindered by the logistical challenges of sharing medical data. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of training our recently developed cloud-based segmentation tool (Histo-Cloud) using federated learning. Using a dataset of renal tissue biopsies we show that federated training to segment interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) using datasets from three institutions is not found to be different from a training by pooling the data on one server when tested on a fourth (holdout) institution’s data. Further, training a model to segment glomeruli for a federated dataset (split by staining) demonstrates similar performance.

Abstract

Abstract Background Podocyte infolding glomerulopathy (PIG) is a rare histopathologic finding with global infolding of the podocytes into the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), accompanied by microstructures underneath. Described in 2002 for the first time, PIG was proposed as a new pathological entity in 2008 based on the largest case series so far. Yet all of the described cases derive from Asian countries. We report a case from Germany fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of PIG. Considering the scarcity of data on this entity especially in Western countries, collecting cases like ours and multicentric meta-analyses will be crucial to obtain a better understanding of PIG, its causes, clinical course and potential treatment options. Case presentation A 56-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), no other comorbidities and no known renal disease was admitted to the hospital with acute kidney injury (AKI) and nephrotic syndrome. Physical examination was unremarkable except for anasarca. Renal ultrasound revealed no abnormalities. Laboratory and urine analyses were consistent with the nephrotic syndrome and renal failure. Serological studies regarding ANA, ANCA, anti-PLA2R autoantibodies, complement, virus infections, immunofixation and quantitative light chain analysis were unremarkable. A renal biopsy was performed. Light microscopic examination showed flattened tubular epithelium consistent with acute tubular damage, no infiltrates and unremarkable glomeruli except diffuse and global holes in the GBM (Fig. 1a) and negative staining for immunoglobulin heavy-chains, light-chains and complement split products. Electron microscopy revealed a rare correlate for these holes: global peculiar infolding of podocyte cytoplasm into the GBM. Most of these infoldings were accompanied by condensation of the GBM underneath. No such condensation or electron dense deposits were found without these infoldings or outside the GBM. Conclusion Here we report the first case of PIG outside of Asia. Since there are only few reports about this specific finding, we feel there is a need to share information in an attempt to accumulate knowledge about this possible new entity and potential treatment options.

Abstract

Predicting outcome after transplantation of marginal kidneys is a challenging task. Donor creatinine or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are integral components of the respective risk scores. However, there is uncertainty on which of their values obtained successively during procurement is the most suitable.This is a retrospective study of 221 adult brain death donors with marginal kidneys, transplanted in 223 recipients. We applied logistic regression analysis to investigate the association between initial (at hospital admission), nadir (lowest), zenith (highest) and terminal (at recovery) donor eGFR with primary non-function (PNF), delayed graft function (DGF), 3- and 12-month graft function and 1- and 3-year patient- and death-censored graft survival.In the multivariate analysis, admission, terminal, and the lowest donor eGFR could most accurately predict DGF. The respective ORs [95% CI] were: 0.875 [0.771-0.993], 0.818 [95% CI: 0.726-0.922] and 0.793 [0.689-0.900]. Although not being significant for DGF (OR 0.931 [95% CI: 0.817-1.106]), the highest eGFR was the best predictor of 3-month graft function (adjusted b coefficient 1.161 [95% CI: 0.355-1.968]). Analysis of primary nonfunction showed that determination of initial and the highest eGFR proved to be the best predictors. The respective ORs [95% CI] were: 0.804 [0.667-0.968] and 0.750 [0.611-0.919]. There were no differences in the risk associations of each of the four eGFR recordings with patient- and graft survival.The various eGFR recordings determined during the procurement process of marginal donors can predict PNF, DGF and 3- and 12-month graft function. Regarding short-term patient- and graft survival, there appears to be impacted by recipient factors rather than donor kidney function.

Abstract

Background Deceased donor kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) are often discarded because of concerns about inferior transplant outcomes. A means of grading the quality of such kidneys is the performance of procurement biopsies. Methods This is a retrospective study of 221 brain death donors with marginal kidneys transplanted in 223 recipients in Germany. Marginal kidneys were defined as kidneys with procurement biopsies done exceptionally to assess suitability for transplantation in otherwise potentially discarded organs. The impact of deceased donor AKI on patient survival and death-censored graft survival at 1, 3 and 5 years and graft function at 1 and 3 years after transplantation was investigated. Results Recipients of kidneys with stage 3 AKI had a greater incidence of delayed graft function [DGF; ORStage 1: 1.435 (95% CI 0.438–0.702), ORStage 2: 2.463 (95% CI 0.656–9.245), ORStage 3: 4.784 (95% CI 1.421–16.101)] but a similar graft and patient survival compared to recipients of donors without AKI and with AKI stage 1 and 2 as well. The coexistence of recipient DGF and donor AKI was associated with the lowest graft survival and function rates. Conclusion The transplantation of deceased donor marginal kidneys with AKI confers a higher risk for DGF but is associated with acceptable graft and patient outcomes, which do not differ in comparison with marginal donor kidneys without AKI. Graft prognosis is especially poor if donor AKI and recipient DGF concur. Donor AKI was a risk factor independent of the histological lesions of procurement biopsies.

Abstract

Background. Transcriptome analysis could be an additional diagnostic parameter in diagnosing kidney transplant (KTx) rejection. Here, we assessed feasibility and potential of NanoString nCounter analysis of KTx biopsies to aid the classification of rejection in clinical practice using both the Banff-Human Organ Transplant (B-HOT) panel and a customized antibody-mediated rejection (AMR)-specific NanoString nCounter Elements (Elements) panel. Additionally, we explored the potential for the classification of KTx rejection building and testing a classifier within our dataset. Methods. Ninety-six formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded KTx biopsies were retrieved from the archives of the ErasmusMC Rotterdam and the University Hospital Cologne. Biopsies with AMR, borderline or T cell-mediated rejections (BLorTCMR), and no rejection were compared using the B-HOT and Elements panels. Results. High correlation between gene expression levels was found when comparing the 2 chemistries pairwise (r = 0.76-0.88). Differential gene expression (false discovery rate; P < 0.05) was identified in biopsies diagnosed with AMR (B-HOT: 294; Elements: 76) and BLorTCMR (B-HOT: 353; Elements: 57) compared with no rejection. Using the most predictive genes from the B-HOT analysis and the Element analysis, 2 least absolute shrinkage and selection operators-based regression models to classify biopsies as AMR versus no AMR (BLorTCMR or no rejection) were developed achieving an receiver-operating-characteristic curve of 0.994 and 0.894, sensitivity of 0.821 and 0.480, and specificity of 1.00 and 0.979, respectively, during cross-validation. Conclusions. Transcriptomic analysis is feasible on KTx biopsies previously used for diagnostic purposes. The B-HOT panel has the potential to differentiate AMR from BLorTCMR or no rejection and could prove valuable in aiding kidney transplant rejection classification.

Abstract

Background Globally, half of all years of life lost is due to emergency medical conditions, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) facing a disproportionate burden of these conditions. There is an urgent need to train the future physicians in LMICs in the identification and stabilization of patients with emergency medical conditions. Little research focuses on the development of effective emergency medicine (EM) medical education resources in LMICs and the perspectives of the students themselves. One emerging tool is the use of electronic learning (e-learning) and blended learning courses. We aimed to understand Uganda medical trainees’ use of learning materials, perception of current e-learning resources, and perceived needs regarding EM skills acquisition during participation in an app-based EM course. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups of medical students and EM residents. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling. All sessions were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The final codebook was approved by three separate investigators, transcripts were coded after reaching consensus by all members of the coding team, and coded data were thematically analyzed. Results Twenty-six medical trainees were included in the study. Analysis of the transcripts revealed three major themes: [1] medical trainees want education in EM and actively seek EM training opportunities; [2] although the e-learning course supplements knowledge acquisition, medical students are most interested in hands-on EM-related training experiences; and [3] medical students want increased time with local physician educators that blended courses provide. Conclusions Our findings show that while students lack access to structured EM education, they actively seek EM knowledge and practice experiences through self-identified, unstructured learning opportunities. Students value high quality, easily accessible EM education resources and employ e-learning resources to bridge gaps in their learning opportunities. However, students desire that these resources be complemented by in-person educational sessions and executed in collaboration with local EM experts who are able to contextualize materials, offer mentorship, and help students develop their interest in EM to continue the growth of the EM specialty.

Abstract

Over the past 2 decades, scoring systems for multiple glomerular diseases have emerged, as have consortia of pathologists and nephrologists for the study of glomerular diseases, including correlation of pathologic findings with clinical features and outcomes. However, one important limitation faced by members of these consortia and other renal pathologists and nephrologists in both investigative work and routine practice remains a lack of uniformity and precision in clearly defining the morphologic lesions on which the scoring systems are based. In response to this issue, the Renal Pathology Society organized a working group to identify the most frequently identified glomerular lesions observed by light microscopy and electron microscopy, review the literature to capture the published definitions most often used for each, and determine consensus terms and definitions for each lesion in a series of online and in-person meetings. The defined lesions or abnormal findings are not specific for any individual disease or subset of diseases, but rather can be applied across the full spectrum of glomerular diseases and within the context of the different scoring systems used for evaluating and reporting these diseases. In addition to facilitating glomerular disease research, standardized terms and definitions should help harmonize reporting of medical kidney diseases worldwide and lead to more-precise diagnoses and improved patient care.

35. Impact of Proactive Postsales Service and Cross-Selling Activities on Customer Churn and Service Calls

Abstract

In recent years, service providers have identified the proactive postsales service (PPS) as a viable measure for preempting service failures and their negative consequences. Due to the high costs associated with PPSs, companies are looking for ways to increase their efficiency. To understand how companies can increase their revenues and lower their costs, this study investigates how cross-selling activities and different media types affect the impact of a PPS on inbound service calls and customer churn. Based on a large-scale field experiment in the telecommunications industry, as well as a controlled lab experiment, the results demonstrate the overall effectiveness of the PPS and indicate two mediating effects. While the effect of cross-selling on customer churn and service calls is mediated by the customers’ uncertainty regarding the company’s motives, it is the customers’ perception of privacy invasion that mediates the influence of the contact medium on the effectiveness of the PPS. Our finding that PPS contacts have to be clear in their message and should not be perceived as invasive is an indication of the importance of service-(post)sales ambidexterity.

Abstract

This conceptual paper addresses the role the individual plays in sustainability against the backdrop of the ethical dimensions of sustainability. We discuss the relevance of moral personhood as a basis for sustainability and develop a model of personhood for sustainability. The paper outlines the ethical dimensions of sustainability and discusses the role of individual morality for sustainability from a virtue ethics perspective. We employ a Buddhist virtue ethical approach for conceptualizing a model of the sustainable person that is characterized by sustainability virtues, interdependent personhood, and an inherent concern for the wellbeing of others, nature, and future beings. In contrast to many Western-based conceptions of the individual actor, our model of sustainable personhood conceptualizes and explains a coherent and inherent individual motivation for sustainability. The paper contributes to the methodological question of how to best consider the individual in sustainability research and sustainability approaches and suggests a conceptual basis for integrating individual, institutional, and systemic aspects of sustainability.

Abstract

Wir berichten uber den Fall einer 73-jahrigen Patientin bosnischer Herkunft, die mit einem akuten Nierenversagen aufgenommen wurde. Die Nierenbiopsie erbrachte die Diagnose einer infektassoziierten nekrotisierenden sowie extrakapillar proliferativen Glomerulonephritis. Die Patientin berichtete, etwa zwei Wochen zuvor einen fieberhaften Infekt gehabt zu haben. Unsere Diagnostik ergab keinen Hinweis auf einen aktuellen floriden Infekt. Es erfolgte eine systemische Steroidtherapie mit gutem Ansprechen. Sechs Wochen spater erfolgte die erneute stationare Aufnahme der Patientin in einem schwer kranken Zustand. Wir konnten bioptisch in der Magenschleimhaut eine Strongyloides-stercoralis-Infestation nachweisen. Unter der Steroidtherapie hatte sich ein sogenanntes Hyperinfektionssyndrom entwickelt, an dem die Patientin trotz intensivmedizinischer Bemuhungen verstarb. Dieser Fall illustriert, dass insbesondere bei Patienten aus Endemiegebieten auch hierzulande an diese Parasitose gedacht werden muss. Wir diskutieren eine wahrscheinliche kausale Verknupfung mit der Glomerulonephritis und geben eine Ubersicht uber die Diagnostik, den Krankheitsverlauf und die Therapie dieser Parasitose.

Abstract

Background Podocyte infolding glomerulopathy (PIG) is a rare histopathologic finding with global infolding of the podocytes into the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), accompanied by microstructures underneath. Described in 2002 for the first time, PIG was proposed as a new pathological entity in 2008 based on the largest case series so far. Yet all of the described cases derive from Asian countries. We report a case from Germany fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of PIG. Considering the scarcity of data on this entity especially in Western countries, collecting cases like ours and multicentric meta-analyses will be crucial to obtain a better understanding of PIG, its causes, clinical course and potential treatment options. Case presentation A 56-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), no other comorbidities and no known renal disease was admitted to the hospital with acute kidney injury (AKI) and nephrotic syndrome. Physical examination was unremarkable except for anasarca. Renal ultrasound revealed no abnormalities. Laboratory and urine analyses were consistent with the nephrotic syndrome and renal failure. Serological studies regarding ANA, ANCA, anti-PLA2R autoantibodies, complement, virus infections, immunofixation and quantitative light chain analysis were unremarkable. A renal biopsy was performed. Light microscopic examination showed flattened tubular epithelium consistent with acute tubular damage, no infiltrates and unremarkable glomeruli except diffuse and global holes in the GBM (Fig. 1a) and negative staining for immunoglobulin heavy-chains, light-chains and complement split products. Electron microscopy revealed a rare correlate for these holes: global peculiar infolding of podocyte cytoplasm into the GBM. Most of these infoldings were accompanied by condensation of the GBM underneath. No such condensation or electron dense deposits were found without these infoldings or outside the GBM. Conclusion Here we report the first case of PIG outside of Asia. Since there are only few reports about this specific finding, we feel there is a need to share information in an attempt to accumulate knowledge about this possible new entity and potential treatment options.

Abstract

Die Ladedruckregelung ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Steuerung moderner Ottomotoren. Die Umsetzung moderner Regelungsverfahren fur diese nichtlineare Strecke ist seit Jahren Gegenstand wissenschaftlicher Publikationen. Stand der Technik fur den Serienbetrieb ist dagegen eine verhaltnismasig einfache Gain-Scheduling-Struktur basierend auf PID-Reglern und stationarer Vorsteuerung. Diese Arbeit prasentiert ein serientaugliches Konzept zur Regelung des Ladedrucks und dessen experimentelle Erprobung an einem Prufstand. Die verwendete Reglerstruktur entspricht weitgehend dem Stand der Technik, wobei die Vorsteuerung signifikant vereinfacht und ein Anti-Windup-Konzept zur systematischen Berucksichtigung von Stellgrosenbeschrankungen erganzt wurden. Hervorzuheben ist das verwendete systematische modellbasierte Vorgehen zur $$\text{H}_{\infty}$$-optimalen Auslegung der strukturierten Arbeitspunktregler. Der Einsatz $$\text{H}_{\infty}$$-optimaler Regler erlaubt die a priori Einbeziehung quantitativer Forderungen an das Verhalten der resultierenden lokalen Regelkreise in den Entwurfsprozess. Das zugrundeliegende Reglerentwurfsverfahren erlaubt lineare Regler beliebiger Struktur. Damit eroffnet sich die Moglichkeit im Einsatz befindliche, von anwendungsorientierten Ingenieuren akzeptierte Reglerstrukturen $$\text{H}_{\infty}$$-optimal zu parametrieren. Die Berechnung der Parameter erfolgt zuverlassig durch die Losung nichtkonvexer und nichtglatter Optimierungsprobleme unter Verwendung veroffentlichter Verfahren. Die Gewinnung der fur den modellbasierten Reglerentwurf erforderlichen mathematischen Systembeschreibungen geschieht durch Identifikation linearer zeitinvarianter Arbeitspunktsysteme. Die experimentell erzielten Resultate zeigen im Vergleich zu einer konventionell parametrierten Ladedruckregelung deutlich die Leistungsfahigkeit des vorgeschlagenen Regelungskonzeptes. Gegenuber dem konventionellen Vorgehen zur Parametrierung auf Basis von Expertenwissen und Fahrversuchen zeichnet sich der aufgezeigte Entwurfsprozess durch das strukturierte, methodische und theoretisch fundierte Vorgehen aus. Der resultierende Entwurfsprozess ist weitestgehend automatisiert und weist einen signifikant reduzierten Ressourcen- und Zeitbedarf auf.

Abstract

Background Serum oxalate levels suddenly increase with certain dietary exposures or ethylene glycol poisoning and are a well known cause of AKI. Established contributors to oxalate crystal–induced renal necroinflammation include the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein–dependent tubule necroptosis. These studies examined the role of a novel form of necrosis triggered by altered mitochondrial function. Methods To better understand the molecular pathophysiology of oxalate-induced AIK, we conducted in vitro studies in mouse and human kidney cells and in vivo studies in mice, including wild-type mice and knockout mice deficient in peptidylprolyl isomerase F (Ppif) or deficient in both Ppif and Mlkl. Results Crystals of calcium oxalate, monosodium urate, or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, as well as silica microparticles, triggered cell necrosis involving PPIF–dependent mitochondrial permeability transition. This process involves crystal phagocytosis, lysosomal cathepsin leakage, and increased release of reactive oxygen species. Mice with acute oxalosis displayed calcium oxalate crystals inside distal tubular epithelial cells associated with mitochondrial changes characteristic of mitochondrial permeability transition. Mice lacking Ppif or Mlkl or given an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition displayed attenuated oxalate-induced AKI. Dual genetic deletion of Ppif and Mlkl or pharmaceutical inhibition of necroptosis was partially redundant, implying interlinked roles of these two pathways of regulated necrosis in acute oxalosis. Similarly, inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition suppressed crystal-induced cell death in primary human tubular epithelial cells. PPIF and phosphorylated MLKL localized to injured tubules in diagnostic human kidney biopsies of oxalosis-related AKI. Conclusions Mitochondrial permeability transition–related regulated necrosis and necroptosis both contribute to oxalate-induced AKI, identifying PPIF as a potential molecular target for renoprotective intervention.

Abstract

Necrosis of a cell is defined by the loss of its plasma membrane integrity. Morphologically, necrosis occurs in several forms such as coagulative necrosis, colliquative necrosis, caseating necrosis, fibrinoid necrosis, and others. Biochemically, necrosis was demonstrated to represent a number of genetically determined signalling pathways. These include (i) kinase-mediated necroptosis, which depends on receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)-mediated phosphorylation of the pseudokinase mixed lineage kinase domain like (MLKL); (ii) gasdermin-mediated necrosis downstream of inflammasomes, also referred to as pyroptosis; and (iii) an iron-catalysed mechanism of highly specific lipid peroxidation named ferroptosis. Given the molecular understanding of the nature of these pathways, specific antibodies may allow direct detection of regulated necrosis and correlation with morphological features. Necroptosis can be specifically detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence employing antibodies to phosphorylated MLKL. Likewise, it is possible to generate cleavage-specific antibodies against epitopes in gasdermin protein family members. In ferroptosis, however, specific detection requires quantification of oxidative lipids by mass spectrometry (oxylipidomics). Together with classical cell death markers, such as TUNEL staining and detection of cleaved caspase-3 in apoptotic cells, the extension of the arsenal of necrosis markers will allow pathological detection of specific molecular pathways rather than isolated morphological descriptions. These novel pieces of information will be extraordinarily helpful for clinicians as inhibitors of necroptosis (necrostatins), ferroptosis (ferrostatins), and inflammasomes have emerged in clinical trials. Anatomical pathologists should embrace these novel ancillary tests and the concepts behind them and test their impact on diagnostic precision, prognostication, and the prediction of response to the upcoming anti-necrotic therapies.
