Chronisch thromboembolische pulmonale Hypertonie: Empfehlungen der Kölner Konsensus Konferenz 2016

2016

The 2015 European Guidelines on Pulmonary Hypertension did not cover only pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but also other significant subgroups of pulmonary hypertension (PH). In June 2016, a Consensus Conference organized by the PH working groups of the German Society of Cardiology (DGK), the German Society of Respiratory Medicine (DGP) and the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology (DGPK) was held in Cologne, Germany to discuss open and controversial issues surrounding the practical implementation of the European Guidelines. Several working groups were initiated, one of which was dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). In ev…

Macroscopic persistent currents in laser ablated YBa2Cu3O7-x films

2011

AbstractThin films of YBa2Cu3O7-x have been produced in situ by laser ablation. As the condensation of the superconducting film is done onto hot substrates (600 - 780°C) at high oxygen pressures (~ 1 mbar), this techniques does not require any special postannealing step. Thus the total process time amounts to less than 10 min. Films were found to be polycrystalline with the c-axis preferentially oriented normal to the substrate plane on single crystalline (001) SrTiO3 and (random) ZrO2, as measured by ion channeling (Xmin = 5.5 % on SrTiO3), x-ray scattering and TEM. Complete superconducting transitions above 90 K with transition widths of about 1 K have been observed even on YSZ substrates…
