Intensive Care Management of Head-Injured Patient
2019
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) plays an important role for the prognosis of multiple injured patients. Severely injured patients require intensive care treatment to support organ function and to maintain normal brain physiology. Optimal treatment is a cornerstone for good outcome. Therefore, in addition to general principles and concepts of modern intensive care medicine, special brain-specific aspects need to be addressed in these patients. Essential aspects of physiological regulation of cerebral perfusion and intracranial pressure as well as recent publications are reviewed as basis for current trends in the management of TBI patients. Focusing on single parameters such as intracranial pre…
Das Plattenepithelkarzinom des Ösophagus – Stellenwert der Chirurgie im therapeutischen Konzept
2010
Squamous cell carcinomas of the oesophagus are a completely different entity from adenocarcinomas in regard to their aetiopathology, tumour biology, co-morbidity, operative risk, and prognosis. For superficial squamous cell carcinomas, the risk of a relevant lymph node metastatisation already exists from the mucosal infiltration level m3 onward, and thus oncological resection is indicated. Neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy is the international standard for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma. The early-response should be determined. Non-responders must be identified early, and a salvage operation with a justifiable operative risk should be carried out. Due to its high complete response rat…
Recommendations for Multimodal Noninvasive and Invasive Screening for Detection of Extracranial Venous Abnormalities Indicative of Chronic Cerebrospi…
2014
Under the auspices of the International Society for Neurovascular Disease (ISNVD), four expert panel committees were created from the ISNVD membership between 2011 and 2012 to determine and standardize noninvasive and invasive imaging protocols for detection of extracranial venous abnormalities indicative of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). The committees created working groups on color Doppler ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, catheter venography (CV), and intravascular US. Each group organized a workshop focused on its assigned imaging modality. Non-ISNVD members from other societies were invited to contribute to the various workshops. More than 60 neuro…

Single-institution experience with primary tumours of the male urethra
2007
OBJECTIVE To assess primary tumours of the urethra in males. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our database from 1986 to 2006 for primary tumours of the male urethra; nine patients with primary tumours of the urethra were analysed and follow-up information was obtained. RESULTS Three patients had tumours of the prostatic urethra, two of which had proliferating focal inflammation and one a low-grade, superficial urothelial cancer. All patients were treated successfully with transurethral resection. Six patients had carcinoma of the bulbar or penile urethra, including two with previous local percutaneous radiotherapy for prostate cancer. All had primary surgical excision that w…
A Multimodal Speech-Gesture Training Intervention for Patients With Schizophrenia and Its Neural Underpinnings – the Study Protocol of a Randomized C…
2020
Dysfunctional social communication is one of the most stable characteristics in patients with schizophrenia that also affects quality of life. Interpreting abstract speech and integrating nonverbal modalities is particularly affected. Considering the impact of communication on social life but failure to treat communication dysfunctions with usual treatment, we will investigate the possibility to improve verbal and non-verbal communication in schizophrenia by applying a multimodal speech-gesture training (MSG training). Here we describe the newly developed MSG training program and the study design for the first clinical investigation. The intervention contains perceptive rating (match/mismat…
Non-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy: Insights from multimodality imaging and electrocardiography. A brief review
2016
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a successful strategy for heart failure (HF) patients. The pre-requisite for the response is the evidence of electrical dyssynchrony on the surface electrocardiogram usually as left bundle branch block (LBBB). Non-response to CRT is a significant problem in clinical practice. Patient selection, inadequate delivery and sub-optimal left ventricle lead position may be important causes. Objectives In an effort to improve CRT response multimodality imaging (especially echocardiography, computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance) could play a decisive role and extensive literature has been published on the matter. However, we are so fa…
Toimijuus ja asiantuntijaksi kasvaminen monimediaisessa kielenopettamisessa
2011
This case study investigates the role of agency in the development of two students’ expertise during their participation in the year-long KOO-KIT program (Language Technology for Language Teachers) for pre-service language teachers at the Centre for Applied Language Studies of the University of Jyväskylä in the 2000s. The curriculum of the program was organized around project-based learning, with theoretical and pedagogical lessons and hands-on technology courses alternating with practical team work in web-based design. The data consist of the teachers’ observations and narrative assessments of the students’ performance, and the students’ self-reports during the one-year course. The finding…
The patterned ways of interlinking linguistic and multimodal elements in visually oriented communities
2019
This paper attends to languaging in the context of visually oriented communities of sign language users through the concept of chaining. I define chaining as the patterned, routine ways of interlin...
"What is the color of English?" : representation of English in the language portraits of Sámi children
2010
Tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston kielten laitoksen Pohjoinen monikielisyys - hanketta, jonka tavoitteena on tutkia monikielisyyttä Pohjoiskalotin alueella. Projektissa hyödynnetään sosiolingvistiikkaa, kriittistä diskurs-sintutkimusta ja etnografiaa. Tässä tutkimuksessa esiin nousevat mm. kielentäminen, heteroglossia ja kieli-politiikka. Lähtökohtana ovat henkilökohtaiset kielikokemukset, resurssit ja repertuaarit, ja niiden tutkiminen multimodaalisen aineiston avulla. Erityisen kiinnostuksen kohteena on yksittäisen kielen, englannin, esiin-tyminen aineistossa. Vastaavaa näkökulmaa samantyyppiseen aineistoon ei ole aiemmin hyödynnetty. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu neljäntoista 6-12 vuo…
