Ischemic Type Biliary Lesions nach orthotoper Lebertransplantation - ein immunologisches Problem?

2004

Ischemic type biliary lesions (ITBL) are a major complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). In many cases re-OLT is indicated. Multiple factors have been claimed to be reasonable for ITBL; here we present a new immunological risk factor: CC-Chemokines play a key role in the recruitment of leukocytes during ischemia-reperfusion damage and acute rejection. Therefore the CC-chemokine-receptor 5 (CCR5) and its functionless CCR5-delta-32-polymorphism (CCR5Δ32) might have an influence on the grafts pathology after OLT. In 146 patients after OLT the CCR5 was analyzed with regard to the CCR5Δ32 by PCR. 120 patients (82,1%) showed a normal receptor (wildtype) whereas 26 patients …

Dual channel photoplethysmography studies of cardio-vascular response to the body position changes

2005

The dual-channel photoplethysmography studies of physiological responses during 3-stage orthostatic test were performed. Clear differences in heartbeat rate, pulse wave transit time and blood pressure variations of healthy volunteers and diabetic patients have been observed.

Sezernierter Interleukin-2-Rezeptor als Aktivitätsparameter der Sarkoidose*

2008

Serum sIL-2-R levels were measured in 28 sarcoidosis patients at multiple time points before, during, and after therapy, with a mean follow-up time of 10.2 +/- 5.2 months, and the results compared with the clinical activity of the disease. Before therapy, 20 out of 24 episodes with active disease exhibited elevated levels of sIL-2-R (918 +/- 362 U/ml). In inactive disease after tapering off corticoid therapy the sIL-2-R levels were 453 +/- 274 U/ml. Disease activity under therapy also correlated with sIL-2-R serum levels. 23 out of 29 episodes with signs of activity under therapy had elevated sIL-2-R levels (808 +/- 409 U/ml). Only three of 28 patients in whom disease activity ceased after …

EP755 Laparoscopically modified laterally extended endopelvic resection for gynecological malignancies involving pelvic side wall: a feasibility anal…

2019

Introduction/Background Lateral pelvic side wall involvement by gynecological malignancies has been considered for a long time an absolute contraindication to curative resection. Recently the surgical paradigm is challenged with the development of the Laterally Extended Endopelvic Resection, LEER. Although the LEER is perfectly standardized in open surgery, just one small experience has been published about its endoscopic feasibility.The objective of this study is to analyze the feasibility of Laparoscopically Modified Laterally Extended Endopelvic Resection, LM-LEER, in patients with gynecological malignancies involving the lateral pelvic side wall. Methodology We retrospectively evaluated…

The Orogastric Tube Guide® as a novel strategy for gastric tube insertion: a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial

2020

BACKGROUND Gastric tube insertion, either orally or nasally, is daily practice in anesthesia and intensive care. "Blind" insertion represents the common conventional method and is associated with low first-pass success and frequent complications. This trial aimed to evaluate the novel gastric tube guide as a rigid conduit in regard to insertion success rate, time required and associated complications versus the conventional "blind" insertion method. We hypothesized that the insertion success rate is higher using the Orogastric tube guide. METHODS This trial was approved by ethics committee prior to patient recruitment. In a randomized order, anesthetists performed oral insertion of a gastri…

Effects of prolonged and maintenance strength training on force production, walking, and balance in aging women and men

2012

To examine effects of 21-week twice/week strength training (ST) period followed by an additional 21-week twice or once/week ST period on force production, walking and balance in aging people. Seventy-two women (58 ± 7 years; W) and 63 (58 ± 6 years) men (M) were randomized for the first 21-week ST period: STW and STM, control (C) CW and CM. Training participants were randomized for the second 21-week ST period: once/week STWx1 and STMx1, twice/week STWx2 and STMx2. LegPress, isometric leg extension rate of force development (RFD), walking time, and balance. First 21-week ST period: leg press, RFD, balance, and walking improved significantly in STW and STM. Second 21-week ST period: leg pres…

Plantar pressure distribution during running with a self-customized foot orthosis in a home microwave.

2021

The individualization of a custom-made foot orthosis could provide improvements in plantar loading distribution regarding a prefabricated one. However, not all runners can afford it because of its high cost. A new type of low-cost prefabricated foot orthoses with self-customization could be the solution. The aim of the study was to evaluate if self-customized prefabricated foot orthoses (SCFO) could improve plantar pressure distribution with respect to generic prefabricated ones without customization, during the intense prolonged running. Thirty healthy recreational runners performed two tests of 30 min running on a treadmill, each one with a foot orthosis condition, on different days. Mean…

Children’s physical activity and sedentary time compared using assessments of accelerometry counts and muscle activity level

2018

Background This research compared accelerometry (ACC)-derived and muscle electromyography (EMG)-based estimates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time in typical PA tasks and during the daily lives of children. Methods Data was included from two exploratory studies. In Study I, 6–7-year-old children (n = 11, 64% girls) were assessed for eight PA tasks (walking, stair negotiation, climbing, crawling, swinging, balancing, trampoline jumping and a game of tag). In Study II, 7–9-year-old children (n = 14, 38% girls) were assessed for six PA tasks (walking, sitting, static squat, single leg hops, jump for height and standing long jump), and daily PA during one day with and one day without…
