Thereby, a heterozygous CDH13 knockout (CDH13\(^{+/-}\)) and a CDH13 null mutant (CDH13\(^{-/-}\)) iPSC line was obtained. All three lines showed expression of pluripotency-associated markers, the ability to differentiate into cells of the three germ layers in vitro, and a normal female karyotype.}, language = {en} } @article{SperlichWallmannSperlichZinneretal.2017, author = {Sperlich, Billy and Wallmann-Sperlich, Birgit and Zinner, Christoph and Von Stauffenberg, Valerie and Losert, Helena and Holmberg, Hans-Christer}, title = {Functional High-intensity Circuit Training Improves Body Composition,Peak Oxygen Uptake, Strength, and Alters Certain Dimensions of Quality of Life in Overweight Women}, series = {Frontiers in Physiology}, volume = {8}, journal = {Frontiers in Physiology}, number = {172}, doi = {10.3389/fphys.2017.00172}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-171015}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The effects of circuit-like functional high-intensity training (Circuit\(_{HIIT}\)) alone or in combination with high-volume low-intensity exercise (Circuit\(_{combined}\)) on selected cardio-respiratory and metabolic parameters, body composition, functional strength and the quality of life of overweight women were compared. In this single-center, two-armed randomized, controlled study, overweight women performed 9-weeks (3 sessions·wk\(^{-1}\)) of either Circuit\(_{HIIT}\) (n = 11), or Circuit\(_{combined}\) (n = 8). Peak oxygen uptake and perception of physical pain were increased to a greater extent (p < 0.05) by Circuit\(_{HIIT}\), whereas Circuit\(_{combined}\) improved perception of general health more (p < 0.05). Both interventions lowered body mass, body-mass-index, waist-to-hip ratio, fat mass, and enhanced fat-free mass; decreased ratings of perceived exertion during submaximal treadmill running; improved the numbers of push-ups, burpees, one-legged squats, and 30-s skipping performed, as well as the height of counter-movement jumps; and improved physical and social functioning, role of physical limitations, vitality, role of emotional limitations, and mental health to a similar extent (all p < 0.05). Either forms of these multi-stimulating, circuit-like, multiple-joint training can be employed to improve body composition, selected variables of functional strength, and certain dimensions of quality of life in overweight women. However, Circuit\(_{HIIT}\) improves peak oxygen uptake to a greater extent, but with more perception of pain, whereas Circuit\(_{Combined}\) results in better perception of general health.}, language = {en} } @article{JoukhadarWoeckelHerretal.2016, author = {Joukhadar, R. and W{\"o}ckel, A. and Herr, D. and Paulus, V. and Radosa, J. and Hamza, A. and Solomayer, E. and Baum, S.}, title = {Challenges of Longevity: Safety of Vaginal and Laparoscopic Urogynecological Procedures in Septuagenarians and Older Patients}, series = {BioMed Research International}, volume = {2016}, journal = {BioMed Research International}, number = {Article ID 5184595}, doi = {10.1155/2016/5184595}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-161005}, pages = {9}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Introduction. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) have increasing prevalence in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to compare the comorbidities of these procedures between <70 y/o and ≥70 y/o patients. Materials and Methods. In our retrospective study over a period of 2.5 years, 407 patients had received an urogynecological procedure. All patients with POP were treated by reconstructive surgery. Complications were reported using the standardized classification of Clavien-Dindo (CD). The study can be assigned to stage 2b Exploration IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term study)-system of surgical innovation. Results. Operation time, blood loss, and intraoperative complications have not been more frequent in the elderly, whereas hospital stay was significantly longer in ≥70 y/o patients. Regarding postoperative complications, we noticed that ≥70 y/o patients had an almost threefold risk to develop mild early postoperative complications compared to younger patients (OR: 2.86; 95\% CI: 1.76-4.66). On the contrary, major complications were not more frequent. No case of life-threatening complication or the need for blood transfusion was reported. Conclusion. After urogynecological procedures, septuagenarians and older patients are more likely to develop mild postoperative complications but not more intraoperative or severe postoperative complications compared to younger patients.}, language = {en} }
