    Description / Table of Contents: This Open Access book covers the concept of umami, the unique taste imparted by the amino acid glutamate, was first described in 1908 by Dr. Kikunae Ikeda of Tokyo University. Over the past century, hundreds of studies have explored the mechanistic underpinnings of the taste, leading to the characterization of the umami taste receptor in 2002. How this fifth basic taste figures into nutrition and health, however, remains underexplored. Umami: Taste for Health provides an overview of the relationship between umami and human health. Authors explain how glutamate not only produces a characteristic oral sensation in the mouth but also functions as a signaling molecule to induce physiological responses. With the support of recent studies, the book demonstrates how the taste properties of umami make glutamate a promising substance to lower salt intake, promote satiation and support healthier aging. The text also covers practical culinary applications to increase umami flavor and practical usage of umami for promoting healthy eating.

    Description: For the purposes of this guideline, a diving accident is defined as an event that is either potentially life-threatening or hazardous to health as a result of a reduction in ambient pressure while diving or in other hyperbaric atmospheres with and without diving equipment. This national consensus-based guideline (development grade S2k) presents the current state of knowledge and recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of diving accident victims. The treatment of a breath-hold diver as well as children and adolescents does not differ in principle.In this regard only unusual tiredness and itching without visible skin changes are mild symptoms.The key action statements: on-site 100% oxygen first aid treatment, immobilization/no unnecessary movement, fluid administration and telephone consultation with a diving medicine specialist are recommended.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) remains unchanged as the established treatment in severe cases, as there are no therapeutic alternatives. The basic treatment scheme recommended for diving accidents is hyperbaric oxygenation at 280 kPa.
    Description: Ein Tauchunfall im Sinne dieser Leitlinie ist ein potenziell lebensbedrohliches oder gesundheitsschädigendes Ereignis, hervorgerufen durch Abfall des Umgebungsdruckes beim Tauchen oder aus sonstiger hyperbarer Atmosphäre mit und ohne Tauchgerät. Diese nationale S2k-Leitlinie legt den aktuellen Stand der Erkenntnisse und der konsentierten Empfehlungen in der Diagnostik und Behandlung von Patienten nach Tauchunfällen dar. Die Behandlung von Apnoetauchern sowie Kindern und Jugendlichen unterscheidet sich prinzipiell nicht.Milde Symptome sind nur die auffällige Müdigkeit und ein Hautjucken ohne sichtbare Hautveränderungen.Wesentliche Bedeutung bei der Versorgung von Tauchunfällen hat die frühzeitige Atmung von 100%igem Sauerstoff. Weiterhin werden die Ruhiglagerung/keine unnötige Bewegung, eine moderate Flüssigkeitsgabe und eine Taucherärztliche Telefonberatung empfohlen.Die hyperbare Sauerstofftherapie (HBOT) ist bei schweren Dekompressionsunfällen unverändert ohne therapeutische Alternative. Als Behandlungsschema wird grundsätzlich eine HBOT bei 280 kPa empfohlen.

    Description: Purpose: To report an occult intraocular foreign body mimicking choroidal melanoma. Methods: Medical records and imagings of the patient were retrospectively reviewed.Case description: A 76-year-old male was referred to our ocular oncology clinic with a suspicious hyperpigmented retinal lesion in the left eye. Biomicroscopy showed aphakia and peripheral iridectomy in the left eye. Fundoscopy revealed a pigmented, slightly elevated lesion on the macula of the left eye surrounded by diffuse atrophy. B-scan ultrasonography showed a preretinal hyperechoic lesion with posterior shadowing. There was no choroidal mass in B-scan or optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. On further questioning, it was disclosed that the patient had been hit by an iron fragment in the left eye forty years ago.Conclusion: Choroidal melanoma is a vision- and life-threatening intraocular malignant tumour. Various neoplastic, degenerative, and inflammatory conditions can simulate choroidal melanoma. A previous history of penetrating ocular trauma should lead the surgeon to re-evaluate a diagnosis of melanoma.

    Description: When hearing fails, cochlear implants (CIs) provide most CI users with open speech understanding in quiet environments. CIs bypass the defective sensory organ and electrically stimulate the auditory nerve. The bottleneck of hearing rehabilitation with currently available CIs is their limitation in encoding spectral information resulting from the broad current spread from each electrode contact. Because light can be confined in space more conveniently, optogenetic stimulation of the auditory nerve represents a promising alternative. The development of optogenetic stimulation for future optical CIs requires efforts to design and characterize appropriate optogenetic actuators, viral gene transfer to neurons, and development of multichannel optical CIs. This review article reports the current status of optogenetic stimulation of the auditory pathway and recent breakthroughs in achieving high temporal precision and frequency resolution and in establishing multichannel optical CIs.
    Description: Wenn das Hören versagt, bieten Cochlea-Implantate (CIs) den meisten der CI-Träger ein offenes Sprachverstehen in ruhiger Umgebung. CIs umgehen das defekte Sinnesorgan und stimulieren den Hörnerv elektrisch. Der Flaschenhals der Hörrehabilitation mit aktuell verfügbaren CIs ist deren Limitierung bei der Kodierung spektraler Information, die sich aus der breiten Stromausbreitung von jedem Elektrodenkontakt ergibt. Weil Licht räumlich besser begrenzt werden kann, stellt die optische Stimulation des Hörnervs eine vielversprechende Perspektive für einen grundlegenden Fortschritt der CIs dar. Die Entwicklung der optogenetischen Stimulation für zukünftige optische CIs erfordert Anstrengungen zum Design und zur Charakterisierung geeigneter optogenetischer Aktuatoren, zum viralen Gentransfer auf die Neuronen sowie zur Entwicklung mehrkanaliger optischer CIs. Dieser Übersichtsartikel berichtet über den aktuellen Stand der optogenetischen Stimulation der Hörbahn und über die jüngsten Durchbrüche bei der Erzielung hoher zeitlicher Präzision und Frequenzauflösung sowie bei der Etablierung optischer Mehrkanal-CIs.

    Description: Due to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become essential to explore new and innovative ways to conduct art therapy interventions. Digital art therapy is a new way of therapy for both, art therapists and clients. In Spain, concepts for digital art therapy have already been developed and implemented not only by art therapists, but also by organisations and universities. These concepts are aimed at art therapists as part of clinical supervision, as well as at clients receiving art therapy. This paper looks at the rapidly growing area of digitally conducted art therapies and the requirements in relation to infrastructure and security, as well as the challenges and opportunities of this new way of working.

Aufgrund der COVID-19 Pandemie war es jedoch notwendig, neue und innovative Ansätze zur Durchführung von Kunsttherapie zu erarbeiten. In Spanien werden nicht nur von Kunsttherapeut:innen, sondern auch von Organisationen und Hochschulen Konzepte für die digitale Kunsttherapie durchgeführt. Diese richten sich sowohl an Kunsttherapeut:innen in Form von Supervision und Weiterbildung, als auch an Klient:innen in Form einer Therapiemaßnahme. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit diesem rasant wachsenden Arbeitsfeld im Bereich Künstlerischer Therapien und stellt mögliche Setting- und Rahmenbedingungen, Herausforderungen sowie Möglichkeiten für die digitale Kunsttherapie zusammenfassend dar.

    Description: Objective: The risk of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) infections in inpatients is often underestimated, even if it is lower than that for central venous catheters. Guidelines for the prevention of PVC-associated infections describe the evidence-based management of PVCs. The aims of this study were the development of standardized methods for compliance assessment regarding PVC management and the evaluation of self-reported knowledge and implementations among healthcare providers regarding PVC care.Method: We developed a checklist based on the recommendation of the Commission of Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention at the Robert Koch Institute (KRINKO) Berlin for the standardized evaluation of PVC management. The following parameters were collected and evaluated: condition of the puncture site, condition of the bandage, presence of an extension set, presence of a plug, and documentation. The checklist was applied in 14 normal wards in 2019. After feedback of the ward staff on the results, it was applied again in 2020 in the same wards. For retrospective data analysis, we used a newly developed PVC-quality index. After the second evaluation in 2020, we carried out an anonymous survey among the healthcare providers.Results: The evaluation of 627 indwelling PVCs showed a significant increase in compliance related to the presence of an extension set (p=0.049) and documentation (p〈0.001) in the 2nd year. The quality index increased in 12 out of 14 wards. The participants of the survey were aware of the in-house standard "Prevention of vascular catheter-associated infections", with a mean score of 4.98 on a Likert scale (1=not aware, 7=completely aware). The main barrier to implementation of the preventive measures was the time factor. Survey participants were more aware of PVC placement than PVC care.Conclusion: The PVC quality index is a valuable tool for the assessment of compliance regarding PVC management in daily practice. Feedback from the ward staff on the results of compliance assessment improves PVC management, but the outcome is very heterogeneous.
    Description: Zielsetzung: Das Infektionsrisiko von peripheren Venenkathetern (PVK) bei stationären Patienten wird, auch wenn es niedriger ist als das von zentralen Venenkathetern, häufig unterschätzt. Leitlinien zur Prävention von PVK-assoziierten Infektionen beinhalten Evidenz-basierte Maßnahmen zur Anlage, Pflege und Nutzung von liegenden PVK. Ziel dieser Studie war, ein Verfahren zur standardisierten Bewertung der Compliance im Umgang mit liegenden PVK zu entwickeln und zu testen. Außerdem sollte eine Selbsteinschätzung des Personals zu Kenntnis und Umsetzung der Präventionsmaßnahmen erhoben werden.Methode: Basierend auf den KRINKO-Empfehlungen wurde eine Checkliste zur standardisierten Bewertung der Umsetzung von Präventionsmaßnahmen bei liegenden PVK entwickelt. Folgende Parameter wurden erhoben und bewertet: Zustand der Punktionsstelle, Zustand des Verbands, Vorhandensein eines Extensionssets, Verschluss, Nutzung und Dokumentation der Maßnahmen. Die Checkliste wurde erstmals im Jahr 2019 auf 14 Normalstationen angewendet und nach Feedback der Ergebnisse erneut im Jahr 2020 auf denselben Stationen eingesetzt. Mithilfe eines neu entwickelten PVK-Qualitätsindex erfolgte ein retrospektiver Vergleich. Nach der 2. Bewertung wurde eine anonyme Mitarbeiterbefragung mittels Fragebogen durchgeführt.Ergebnisse: Bei der Bewertung von 627 liegenden PVK zeigte sich eine signifikante Steigerung der Compliance bezogen auf das Vorhandensein eines Extensionssets (p=0,049) und die Dokumentation (p〈0,001) im 2. Jahr. Der Qualitätsindex ist auf 12 der 14 beobachteten Stationen gestiegen. Die Bekanntheit einzelner Maßnahmen des hausinternen Standards "Prävention gefäßkatheterassoziierter Infektionen" wurde mit dem Mittelwert 4,98 von 7 auf einer Likert-Skala angegeben; als einziges Hindernis in der Umsetzung konnte der Faktor Zeit identifiziert werden. Maßnahmen bei PVK-Anlage waren zu einem höheren Anteil bekannt als Maßnahmen der PVK-Pflege. Fazit: Der PVK-Qualitätsindex ist erfolgreich angewendet worden und ist geeignet, die PVK-bezogene Compliance standardisiert zu erheben. Feedback der Compliance im Umgang mit PVK hat diese verbessert, aber der Effekt ist sehr heterogen.

    Description: Introduction: There is a risk of transmission of viruses and microbial pathogens during routine health care procedures due to improper injection, infusion, and medication-vial practices. Unsafe practices lead to outbreaks of infection resulting in unacceptable and devastating events in patients. The present study was undertaken to assess the compliance of nurses with safe injection and infusion practices in our hospital and to identify staff education requirements in relation to the safe-injection and infusion practices policy.Methods: Baseline data were collected and high risk areas were identified on this basis, a quality improvement project was implemented by infection control team. FOCUS PDCA methodology was used to conduct the improvement process. The study was performed from March to September 2021. An audit checklist based on the CDC guidelines was used for monitoring compliance with safe injection and infusion practices. Results: Poor compliance with safe injection and infusion practices in few clinical areas at baseline. During the pre-intervention period, non-compliance was mainly seen with the following elements: aseptic technique (79%), rubber septum disinfected with alcohol (66%), labelling of all IV lines and medications with date and time (83%), compliance with multidose-vial policy (77%), use of multidose vials for single patient (84%), safe disposal of sharps (84%), using trays instead of clothing/pockets to carry medications (81%).There was significant improvement in compliance with the following elements of safe injection and infusion practices in the post-intervention period: aseptic technique (94%), rubber septum disinfected with alcohol (83%), compliance with multidose-vial policy (96%), use of multidose vials for single patient only (98%), safe disposal of sharps (96%).Conclusion: Adherence to safe injection and infusion practices is very important to prevent outbreaks of infection in health care settings.
    Description: Einführung: Im Fall unsachgemäßer Injektion, Infusion und fehlerhaften Umgangs mit Medikamenten besteht das Risiko der Übertragung von Viren und Mikroorganismen. Fehlerhafte Praktiken können zum Ausbruch von Infektionen mit drastischen Folgen für die Patienten führen. Die vorliegende Studie wurde durchgeführt, um die Einhaltung sicherer Injektions- und Infusionspraktiken in unserem Krankenhaus durch das Pflegepersonal zu bewerten und den Schulungsbedarf des Personals zu ermitteln.Methoden: Die Analyse der Ausgangssituation ergab eine schlechte Einhaltung sicherer Injektions- und Infusionspraktiken in einigen klinischen Bereichen. In den identifizierten Bereichen mit hohem Risiko wurde vom Infektionskontrollteam ein Qualitätsverbesserungsprojekt etabliert. Zur Durchführung wurde die FOCUS PDCA-Methode verwendet. Die Studie erstreckte sich von März bis September 2021. Zur Überwachung der Einhaltung sicherer Injektions- und Infusionspraktiken wurde eine Audit-Checkliste auf der Grundlage der CDC-Richtlinien verwendet.Ergebnisse: Während der Zeit vor der Intervention wurde die Nichteinhaltung hauptsächlich in Bezug auf folgende Elemente festgestellt: Aseptische Technik (79%), mit Alkohol desinfiziertes Gummiseptum (66%), Kennzeichnung aller Infusionsleitungen und Medikamente mit Datum und Uhrzeit (83%), Einhaltung der Richtlinie für Mehrdosisfläschchen (77%), Verwendung von Mehrdosisfläschchen für einen einzelnen Patienten (84%), sichere Entsorgung von scharfen Gegenständen (84%), Tragen von Medikamenten in Kleidung/Taschen anstatt auf dem Tablett (81%).Es gab eine signifikante Verbesserung bei der Einhaltung der folgenden Elemente sicherer Injektions- und Infusionspraktiken nach der Intervention: Aseptische Technik (94%), mit Alkohol desinfiziertes Gummiseptum (83%), Einhaltung der Richtlinie für Mehrdosis-Durchstechflaschen (96%), Verwendung von Mehrdosis-Durchstechflaschen für einen einzelnen Patienten (98%), sichere Entsorgung scharfer Gegenstände (96%).Schlussfolgerung: Die Einhaltung sicherer Injektions- und Infusionspraktiken ist unerlässlich, um Ausbrüche nosokomialer Infektionen zu verhindern.

    Description: Purpose: Vicarious menstruation is cyclical bleeding in extra-uterine locations that occurs during menstruation or within 48 h of its onset. We aim to present a 43-year-old female with ocular vicarious menstruation, its treatment, and a review of other published cases of ocular vicarious menstruation. Case presentation: A 43-year-old Caucasian female presented with a 15-year history of recurrent monthly unilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage. The episodes were cyclical and coincided with the onset of menses, lasting for approximately 10 to 14 days. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye showed nasally located subconjunctival hemorrhage. Detailed laboratory findings, including parameters for various hematological disorders, were normal. A follow-up examination 2 weeks later showed that the subconjunctival hemorrhage in the right eye was completely resolved. The patient was prescribed the oral contraceptive levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol and marked improvement at the recurrences of subconjunctival hemorrhage was noted during subsequent menses.Conclusion: Ocular vicarious menstruation is among the rarest causes of recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhage. A therapeutic trial of oral contraceptive should be considered in patients that present with ocular vicarious menstruation.

    Description: The present study investigated whether direct bilateral streaming on cochlea implant (CI) and hearing aid provides bimodal hearing instrument users with an advantage when making phone calls via smartphone compared with previously used methods.In two laboratory tests, 22 experienced CI listeners (mean age 50.8±18.6 years), fitted bimodally with a Cochlear N7 processor, as well as a GN ReSound hearing aid, were tested with their own previously used, mostly unilateral phone use (reference condition) and with MFi technology (test condition). In the test condition, signals were directly streamed from a smartphone to both hearing instruments. Speech intelligibility, subjectively perceived listening effort, each in interfering noise, and subjective ratings (including sound, usability via System Usability Scale, SUS) were obtained as key measures of benefit. The results showed a trend towards improved speech intelligibility, as well as a significantly lower listening effort with bilateral streaming compared to conventional telephone use in both the measurement and the questionnaire data. In terms of usability, bilateral streaming also resulted in better ratings compared to the reference.
    Description: In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, ob das direkte bilaterale Streamen in Cochlea-Implantat (CI) und Hörgerät (HG) bimodalen Hörsystemnutzern einen Vorteil beim Telefonieren mit dem Smartphone im Vergleich zu bisher genutzten Verfahren bringt. In zwei Labortests wurden 22 erfahrene CI-Träger (Durchschnittsalter 50,8±18,6 Jahre), die bimodal mit einem N7 Prozessor der Firma Cochlear sowie einem GN ReSound Hörgerät versorgt waren, mit ihrer eigenen bisher genutzten, meist unilateralen Telefonnutzung (Referenz-Kondition) sowie mit MFi-Technologie (Test-Kondition) getestet. In der Test-Kondition wurde direkt von einem Smartphone auf beide Hörsysteme gestreamt. Als wesentliche Messgrößen des Benefits wurden die Sprachverständlichkeit, die subjektiv empfundene Höranstrengung, jeweils im Störgeräusch, und subjektive Bewertungen (u.a. zu Klang, Gebrauchstauglichkeit über System Usability Scale, SUS) erfasst. Die Ergebnisse ergaben eine tendenziell verbesserte Sprachverständlichkeit, sowie eine signifikant geringere Höranstrengung bei beidseitigem Streaming im Vergleich zur herkömmlichen Telefonnutzung in sowohl den Mess-, als auch den Fragebogendaten. Im Hinblick auf Gebrauchstauglichkeit führte das beidseitige Streaming, verglichen mit der Referenz, ebenfalls zu besseren Bewertungen.

    Description: Gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD) is a rare autosomal recessive corneal dystrophy that has been associated with mutations in the TACSTD2 (M1S1) gene, which is normally expressed in corneal epithelial cells. GDLD is characterized by progressive deposition of amyloid in the corneal stroma with rapid recurrence in grafts after penetrating keratoplasty. We report of case of a patient with GDLD treated bilaterally with staged limbal stem cell transplantation and penetrating keratoplasty that resulted in long-term control of his disease. This case demonstrates that staged allogenic limbal stem cell transplantation, before or after penetrating keratoplasty, can be used to restore vision long-term in GDLD patients.

    Description: Astrocytic hamartoma is a benign glial tumor. It may be associated with tuberous sclerosis and can also be found incidentally on retinal examination as an isolated presentation. Here, we describe multimodal imaging characteristics of astrocytic hamartoma in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography of both eyes showed moth-eaten optically empty spaces and hyperreflective dots along with foveal thinning. Multicolor image highlighted mulberry appearance of the lesion with green shift signifying elevated lesion. In infrared reflectance, lesion was hyporeflective with its margins well delineated. Green reflectance and blue reflectance highlighted calcification as multiple hyperreflective dots. Autofluorescence showed typical hyperautofluorescence.

    Description: The definition of a therapeutic discipline provides an important position-fixing and offers orientation for patients, interested parties and professional actors in health care. The definition of music therapy (MT) serves both the self-portrayal of music therapists and the professional classification in the institutions of the public health care system. Thus it contributes decisively to the professional political profiling. There is currently no definition of music therapy in Germany that fits well into the German health system.In this article, different definitions are presented and critically questioned. Against the background of new developments within MT, the necessity for a new definition is shown. This is presented and explained in its conceptual components.
    Description: Die Definition einer therapeutischen Disziplin leistet eine wichtige Standortbestimmung und bietet Orientierung für Patient:innen, Interessent:innen und professionelle Akteure der Gesundheitsversorgung. Die Definition von Musiktherapie (MT) dient sowohl der Selbstdarstellung von Musiktherapeut:innen, als auch der fachlichen Einordnung in die Institutionen des öffentlichen Gesundheitswesens. Damit trägt sie entscheidend zur berufspolitischen Profilierung bei. Es gibt aktuell in Deutschland keine im deutschen Gesundheitssystem gut anschlussfähige Definition von Musiktherapie. In diesem Artikel werden verschiedene Definitionen dargestellt und kritisch hinterfragt. Vor dem Hintergrund von Neuentwicklungen innerhalb der MT wird die Notwendigkeit für eine neue Definition aufgezeigt. Diese wird vorgestellt und in ihren Begriffsbausteinen erläutert.

    Description: Health kiosks are basically a low-threshold opportunity for communication between citizens and other actors in the healthcare system as well as for information on health-related issues. The aim of the study was to record the use of health kiosks in pharmacies by means of a quantitative long-term survey and to determine the reasons for (non-)use by means of a qualitative in-depth analysis. Overall, usage parameters were recorded over 25 months in log files of up to 145 pharmacies. In addition, 92 customers of four high-usage pharmacies were interviewed in qualitative short interviews regarding the reasons for use or non-use. The results of the long-term study showed that the health kiosks were used 1-2 times a day at best, but more likely only 1-2 times a week. The reasons for non-use were due to the interaction of different factors, including accessibility and usefulness, but also the social environment. It can be concluded that identifying the reasons for (non-)use is an important step towards allowing the potential of health kiosks to unfold if they are to be used in a targeted manner within the framework of the digitalisation strategy of the Federal Ministry of Health.
    Description: Gesundheitskioske stellen grundsätzlich eine niedrigschwellige Möglichkeit für die Kommunikation zwischen Bürgern und weiteren Akteuren im Gesundheitswesen sowie für die Information zu gesundheitsrelevanten Fragestellungen dar. Ziel der Studie war es, über eine quantitative Langzeiterhebung die Nutzung von Gesundheitskiosken in Apotheken zu erfassen und über eine qualitative Tiefenanalyse die Gründe für die (Nicht)-Nutzung zu ermitteln. Insgesamt wurden Nutzungsparameter über 25 Monate in Logdateien von bis zu 145 Apotheken festgehalten. Darüber hinaus wurden 92 Kunden von vier nutzungsstarken Apotheken in qualitativen Kurzinterviews hinsichtlich der Gründe der Nutzung bzw. Nichtnutzung befragt. Die Ergebnisse der Langzeitstudie zeigen, dass die Gesundheitskioske im besten Falle 1-2 mal pro Tag, eher aber nur 1-2 mal pro Woche genutzt wurden. Die Gründe für die Nicht-Nutzung wurden durch das Zusammenspiel unterschiedlicher Faktoren bedingt, hierzu zählten u.a. die Zugänglichkeit und die Nützlichkeit, aber auch das soziale Umfeld. Zusammenfassend lässt sich feststellen, dass die Identifizierung der Gründe für die (Nicht-)Nutzung ein wichtiger Schritt ist, damit sich das Potential von Gesundheitskiosks entfalten kann, wenn sie im Rahmen der Digitalisierungsstrategie des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit zum gezielten Einsatz kommen sollen.

    Description: Introduction: According to the Master Plan 2020, science education will play a critical role in future medical curricula. Science modules have already been implemented at many locations. Other medical faculties will follow in the next few years, as legislation is expected to make recommendations of the national competence-based learning objectives curriculum for medicine (NKLM) mandatory. This article aims to present an implementation example from epidemiology and biometry as a contribution to the didactic discussions within the data sciences in medicine. Project description: We report on our experiences with a data analysis project for second-year medical students, which has been compulsory at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences since 2019. The project is intended to train the scientific skills required from the subjects of epidemiology and biometry for student research projects. Emphasis is placed on responsible data handling, transparency, and reproducibility. For example, the writing of a statistical analysis plan is required prior to data access. Improved standardization of materials, optional use of the English language, and digital support will be implemented to help manage the project when student numbers increase. Discussion: The experience from five years is very positive, although a formal evaluation of the learning success is still pending. Current challenges concern staffing, additional time and supervision requirements for those students who do statistical programming with R, and improved integration into the medical curriculum.
    Description: Einleitung: Wissenschaftsausbildung wird im Medizinstudium gemäß Masterplan 2020 künftig einen höheren Stellenwert einnehmen. An vielen Standorten sind wissenschaftliche Curricula bereits umgesetzt. Andere Fakultäten werden voraussichtlich in den nächsten Jahren nachziehen und dabei auch die Empfehlungen des Nationalen Kompetenzbasierten Lernzielkatalogs Medizin (NKLM) zu berücksichtigen haben. Ziel dieses Artikels ist die Darstellung eines Umsetzungsbeispiels aus den Fächern Epidemiologie und Biometrie als Beitrag zur fachlich-didaktischen Diskussion. Projektbeschreibung: Wir berichten von unseren Erfahrungen mit einem seit 2019 an der Fakultät für Medizin und Gesundheitswissenschaften verpflichtenden Datenanalyseprojekt für Medizinstudenten im zweiten Studienjahr. Das Projekt soll die aus den Fächern Epidemiologie und Biometrie benötigten wissenschaftlichen Kompetenzen für spätere eigene Forschungsprojekte trainieren. Dabei wird besonderer Wert auf verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Daten, Transparenz und Reproduzierbarkeit gelegt. Beispielsweise stellt ein von den Studenten zu erstellender statistischer Analyseplan eine notwendige Voraussetzung des Datenzugangs dar. Parallel werden eine zunehmende Standardisierung der Betreuung, wahlweise Nutzung von Englisch und digitale Unterstützung umgesetzt, damit das Projekt perspektivisch auch bei ansteigenden Studentenzahlen zu bewältigen ist. Diskussion: Die Erfahrungen aus bisher 5 Jahren sind sehr positiv, wobei eine formale Evaluation des Lernerfolgs noch aussteht. Das Projekt ist sowohl für die Studenten als auch für Betreuer und Dozenten aufwändiger als derzeit abgebildet werden kann. Aktuelle Herausforderungen bestehen vor allem hinsichtlich personeller Ausstattung, zusätzlichen Zeit- und Betreuungsbedarfs derjenigen Studenten, die sich für eigene statistische Programmierung mit R entscheiden, und einer Optimierung der curricularen Einbindung.

    Description: The German guideline for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) describes the recommended diagnosis and treatment procedures for OSCC and ensures the highest quality patient care. However, the current German guideline for OSCC is indistinct and therapy planning is not standardized in detail between centers. To address this, the current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in different oral and maxillofacial surgery departments in Germany were summarized using a uniform questionnaire. The results revealed high standards in oncologic maxillofacial care, but non-uniform standards exist between centers. Moreover, an increasing use of diagnostic and treatment methods that are not included in the German guideline for OSCC, such as positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT) and tumor biomarkers, were used by different centers. These results support the updated German guideline for OSCC but highlight the need to consider other additive methods to improve patient care and outcomes. Furthermore, a recommendation to introduce tumor passports to simplify OSCC diagnosis and treatment should be discussed. These changes will improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients with OSCC.
    Description: Die deutsche Leitlinie zum oralen Plattenepithelkarzinom beschreibt die empfohlenen Diagnose- und Behandlungsverfahren und gewährleistet eine qualitativ hochwertige Patientenversorgung. Allerdings ist die aktuelle Leitlinie zum oralen Plattenepithelkarzinom unklar und die Therapieplanung nicht im Detail zwischen den Zentren standardisiert. Um diesem Problem Rechnung zu tragen, wurden die aktuellen Diagnose- und Therapiestrategien in verschiedenen Abteilungen der Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie in Deutschland anhand eines einheitlichen Fragebogens zusammengefasst. Die Ergebnisse zeigten hohe Standards in der onkologischen Betreuung, es bestehen jedoch uneinheitliche Standards zwischen den Zentren. Darüber hinaus wurden in verschiedenen Zentren zunehmend Diagnose- und Behandlungsmethoden eingesetzt, die nicht in der Leitlinie für orale Plattenepithelkarzinome enthalten sind, wie z.B. die Positronenemissionstomographie in Kombination mit der Computertomographie (PET-CT) und Tumorbiomarker. Diese Ergebnisse unterstützen die aktualisierte Leitlinie für orale Plattenepithelkarzinome, unterstreichen jedoch die Notwendigkeit, andere additive Methoden in Betracht zu ziehen, um die Patientenversorgung und die Ergebnisse zu verbessern. Darüber hinaus sollte eine Empfehlung zur Einführung von Tumorpässen zur Vereinfachung der oralen Plattenepithelkarzinom-Diagnose und -Behandlung diskutiert werden. Diese Änderungen werden die Prognose und Lebensqualität von Patienten mit oralen Plattenepithelkarzinom verbessern.

    Description: Objective: To analyze the effects of Argireline on skin surface wrinkles using the Visia® camera system developed by Canfield Scientific Inc., U.S.A., for facial image capture. Method: Nineteen female participants were recruited from a plastic surgery clinic. Initial facial images captured the left, front, and right sides of the participants' faces, which were documented as timepoint one. Following this, the participants immediately began to apply a facial skin serum containing triple hyaluronic acids produced by CNC cosmetic GmbH, Philippsburg, Germany. The serum was applied once in the morning and once in the evening. Participants received two identical containers labeled L for left and R for right, with each container to be used on the corresponding facial side, particularly around the eye area. One container contained Argireline, a synthetic hexapeptide, which previously was deemed to be a biosafe alternative to botulinum neurotoxin. The study was conducted as double-blind; neither the participants nor researchers knew which of the two containers contained Argireline. Participants were allowed to use their own cosmetic products throughout the study. After four weeks, the participants returned to have their faces recaptured using the Visia® camera, which was documented as timepoint two. The absolute scores of the wrinkles were noted, and results on both sides of the face were calculated and compared. The "TruSkinAge®" measurement provided by the Visia® camera was reviewed for each face side. Results between both time points and both sides of the face were compared. After the data analysis was complete, the company was contacted to determine which container contained Argireline.Results: Nineteen participants returned for facial image capture. There were no significant adverse events, allergic reactions, or skin irritations. The investigation revealed that the wrinkle score slightly decreased for the right and left side of the face following four weeks of serum application. However, this decrease was not significant (p〉0.05) based on the Wilcoxon matched pairs tests for the wrinkle scores (right side p=0.060 and left side p=0.176) and Truskin Ages® results (right side p=0.096 and left side p=0.489).Comparing the data from the right side with that from the left side of the face revealed that neither demonstrated a significant reduction in wrinkle score (p=0.829) or Truskin Ages® results (p=0.804). Argireline was included in the serum applied to the right side of the face. However, no statistical significance was seen in the results on this side of the face indicating any possible effects. Conclusion: Wrinkle scores and Truskin Ages® results were observed to decrease non-significantly following the application of a skin serum involving hyaluronic acid. The Visia® imaging method was used to analyze the data objectively. Differences between both sides of the face that were treated with and without Argireline were not statistically significant. Therefore, the effect of Argireline was not proven. While Argireline presented with low toxicity, its efficacy was found not to be significant. Therefore, it is not deemed to be an alternative treatment to botulinum toxin.
    Description: Ziel: Objektive Analyse der Effekte von Argireline auf Falten der Hautoberfläche durch Anwendung der Visia® Kamera der Firma Canfield Scientific Inc., U.S.A., für Bildaufnahmen des Gesichtes. Methode: Neunzehn weibliche Freiwillige wurden aus einer Plastisch-Chirurgischen Klinik rekrutiert. Initiale Bildaufnahmen der Gesichter von links, vorne und rechts wurden aufgenommen, was als Zeitpunkt Eins dokumentiert wurde. Danach starteten die Freiwilligen umgehend mit der Anwendung eines Hautpflegeserums, welches dreifache Hyaluronsäuren für das Gesicht enthielt, produziert durch die CNC cosmetic GmbH, Philippsburg, Deutschland. Das Serum wurde einmal morgens und einmal abends angewendet. Die Teilnehmer erhielten zwei identische Töpfchen, die mit L für links und R für rechts bezeichnet wurden; entsprechend sollten sie auf der jeweiligen Seite des gereinigten Gesichtes, besonders rund um die Augenpartie, angewendet werden. Ein Töpfchen enthielt Argireline, ein synthetisches Hexapeptid, welches zuvor als biologisch sichere Alternative zu Botulinum Neurotoxin beurteilt worden war. Die Studie wurde doppelt blind durchgeführt, wobei weder die Freiwilligen noch die Forscher wussten, welches der beiden Töpfchen das Argireline enthielt. Die Freiwilligen durften zusätzlich ihre eigenen kosmetischen Produkte während der Studie benutzen. Nach vier Wochen kamen die Teilnehmer zurück, um das Gesicht erneut mittels der Visia® Kamera fotografiert zu bekommen, was als Zeitpunkt Zwei vermerkt wurde. Die absoluten Scores der Falten wurden notiert und die Ergebnisse der beiden Seiten des Gesichtes berechnet und verglichen. Ebenfalls wurde das gemessene "TruskinAge®", das von der Visia® Kamera herausgegeben wurde, für jede Gesichtshälfte untersucht. Die Ergebnisse für beide Zeitpunkte und beide Seiten des Gesichtes wurden verglichen. Nachdem die Datenanalyse vollständig war, wurde die Firma kontaktiert, um zu bestimmen, welches Töpfchen das Argireline enthielt. Ergebnisse: Neunzehn Freiwillige kamen für die Gesichtsaufnahmen zurück. Es gab keine signifikanten Nebenwirkungen, keine allergischen Reaktionen oder Hautirritationen. Die Untersuchung ergab, dass der Faltenscore für die rechte und linke Seite des Gesichtes nach vier Wochen der Anwendung der Produkte leicht abnahm. Allerdings war die Abnahme nicht signifikant (p〉0.05) gemäß des Wilcoxon-Testes für zwei abhängige Stichproben für die Faltenscores (rechte Seite p=0,060 und linke Seite p=0,176) und für die TruskinAge® Ergebnisse (rechte Seite p=0,096 und linke Seite p=0,489). Beim Vergleich der Daten der rechten mit denen der linken Seite des Gesichtes ergab sich, dass keine der Gesichtshälften signifikant besser abschnitt als die andere in Hinblick auf die Reduzierung der Faltenscores (p=0,829) und der TruskinAge® Ergebnisse (p=0,804). Argireline war im Serum enthalten, das auf der rechten Seite des Gesichtes angewendet wurde. Allerdings wurde keine statistische Signifikanz der Ergebnisse auf dieser Seite des Gesichtes im Hinblick auf mögliche Effekte erreicht. Schlussfolgerung: Die Scores der Falten sowie die Ergebnisse der Truskin Ages® zeigten eine nicht signifikante Tendenz, nach Anwendung des Hautpflegeserums basierend auf Hyaluronsäuren zurückzugehen. Die Visia® Bildgebungsmethode wurde für die objektive Datenanalyse eingesetzt. Die Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Gesichtshälften, die mit und ohne Argireline behandelt wurden, waren nicht statistisch signifikant. Daher wurde die Wirkung von Argireline nicht nachgewiesen. Während sich Argireline mit niedriger Toxizität darstellte, wurden seine Effekte als nicht signifikant ermittelt. Daher wird es nicht als alternative Behandlung zu Botulinumtoxin eingestuft.

    Description / Table of Contents: Additives have been used in the food sector for centuries, aiming to maintain or improve food quality in terms of freshness, appearance, texture and taste. Most food additives are synthetic chemical compounds classified as antioxidants, antimicrobials, colorants and sweeteners. In the last decades, several synthetic food additives have been correlated with adverse reactions in humans, which has caused the safety of synthetic food additives to be reviewed and discussed by international organizations. At the same time, there is increasing consumer demand for more natural and environmentally friendly food products and additives. Therefore, synthetic food additives have been replaced with natural food additives. Although the use of natural additives is a hot topic in food science, to date no book has systematically reviewed the application of natural additives in food products. Natural additives in foods presents an exhaustive analysis of the most recent advances in the application of natural additives in the food sector. Covering natural antioxidants, antimicrobials, colorants and sweeteners, this text also focuses on unconventional sources of natural additives, valorization and toxicological aspects, consumer attitudes and regulatory aspects. The main applications of natural antioxidants are fully covered, including polyphenols, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, tocopherols and proteins. Natural antimicrobial applications from polyphenols and essential oils to poly-L-Lysine are analyzed, as are natural colorants like anthocyanins, annatto, betalains and paprika. The encapsulation, trapping, and adsorption of natural additives are studied, and consumer perceptions and preferences are major focuses. Researchers will find up-to-date regulatory specifics for the United States and European Union. For any researcher in need of an expansive single source containing all relevant and updated information for the use of natural additives in foods, this book is a much needed addition to the field. .

    Description / Table of Contents: In an age of antibiotic resistant infections, the study of biofilms is increasingly important. Microbes more than often exist in complex multi-species or polymicrobial communities, making infections difficult to detect, diagnose and treat. Given the increased focus on studying biofilms in research and laboratory settings, particularly under conditions that closely mimic the clinical state, it is important to get an overview of the recent methods, model systems and tools being developed and employed in this context. This book offers readers the opportunity to learn more about current methods being used in the investigation of multi-species biofilms, both in vivo and in vitro. For this, the book highlights new technologies built and designed for the study of multiple species within biofilm communities, including those that can be leveraged for the evaluation of antimicrobial treatment approaches. The application of these state-of-the-art techniques to further our understanding of multi-species biofilms will be discussed and the reader will learn how the clinical microenvironment and the development of biofilm communities are considered when developing such tools. With cutting-edge contributions from experts in the respective domains, this book will benefit translational and basic research scientists, as well as clinicians, and is an informative resource for educators and their students. .
