  abstract  = {Treatment of recalcitrant cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is challenging. In situations where conventional treatment approaches fail mepacrine - an antimalarial/antiinfiammatory drug that has fallen into oblivion in the last decades might still be a promising option. We retrospectively analysed medical records of 10 patients with refractory CLE that were treated with mepacrine (100-200 mg/day) as mono- or combination therapy for various time intervals between 2001 and 2013 at the University Hospital Wurzburg. Mepacrine was generally well tolerated. Side effects were mild and usually resolved after reduction or cessation. Over 50\% of the patients experienced amelioration of their symptoms despite a previously recalcitrant clinical course. Altogether, our data demonstrate that mepacrine still remains a useful and effective therapeutic option for otherwise treatment-resistant CLE.},

  abstract  = {Background: Diagnostic guidelines recommend using a variety of methods to assess and diagnose ADHD. Applying subjective measures always incorporates risks such as informant biases or large differences between ratings obtained from diverse sources. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that ratings and tests seem to assess somewhat different constructs. The use of objective measures might thus yield valuable information for diagnosing ADHD. This study aims at evaluating the role of objective measures when trying to distinguish between individuals with ADHD and controls. Our sample consisted of children (n = 60) and adults (n = 76) diagnosed with ADHD and matched controls who completed self- and observer ratings as well as objective tasks. Diagnosis was primarily based on clinical interviews. A popular pattern recognition approach, support vector machines, was used to predict the diagnosis. Results: We observed relatively high accuracy of 79\% (adults) and 78\% (children) applying solely objective measures. Predicting an ADHD diagnosis using both subjective and objective measures exceeded the accuracy of objective measures for both adults (89.5\%) and children (86.7\%), with the subjective variables proving to be the most relevant. Conclusions: We argue that objective measures are more robust against rater bias and errors inherent in subjective measures and may be more replicable. Considering the high accuracy of objective measures only, we found in our study, we think that they should be incorporated in diagnostic procedures for assessing ADHD.},

  abstract  = {In der vorliegenden Dissertation wird die Entwicklung eines phylogenetischen DNA Microarrays, die Analyse von mehreren Microarray-Genexpressionsdatens{\"a}tzen und neue Ans{\"a}tze f{\"u}r die Datenanalyse und Interpretation der Ergebnisse vorgestellt. Die Entwicklung und Analyse der Daten eines phylogenetischen DNA Microarrays wird in der ersten Publikation dargestellt. Ich konnte zeigen, dass die Spezies-Detektion mit phylogenetischen Microarrays durch die Datenanalyse mit einem linearen Regressionsansatz signifikant verbessert werden kann. Standard-Methoden haben bislang nur Signalintensit{\"a}ten betrachtet und eine Spezies als an- oder abwesend bezeichnet, wenn die Signalintensit{\"a}t ihres Messpunktes oberhalb eines willk{\"u}rlich gesetzten Schwellenwertes lag. Dieses Verfahren ist allerdings aufgrund von Kreuz-Hybridisierungen nicht auf sehr nah verwandte Spezies mit hoher Sequenzidentit{\"a}t anwendbar. Durch die Modellierung des Hybridisierungs und Kreuz-Hybridisierungsverhaltens mit einem linearen Regressionsmodell konnte ich zeigen, dass Spezies mit einer Sequenz{\"a}hnlichkeit von 97\% im Markergen immer noch unterschieden werden k{\"o}nnen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Modellierung ist, dass auch Mischungen verschiedener Spezies zuverl{\"a}ssig vorhergesagt werden k{\"o}nnen. Theoretisch sind auch quantitative Vorhersagen mit diesem Modell m{\"o}glich. Um die großen Datenmengen, die in {\"o}ffentlichen Microarray-Datenbanken abgelegt sind besser nutzen zu k{\"o}nnen, bieten sich Meta-Analysen an. In der zweiten Publikation wird eine explorative Meta-Analyse auf Arabidopsis thaliana-Datens{\"a}tzen vorgestellt. Mit der Analyse verschiedener Datens{\"a}tze, die den Einfluss von Pflanzenhormonen, Pathogenen oder verschiedenen Mutationen auf die Genexpression untersucht haben, konnten die Datens{\"a}tze anhand ihrer Genexpressionsprofile in drei große Gruppen eingeordnet werden: Experimente mit Indol-3-Essigs{\"a}ure (IAA), mit Pathogenen und andere Experimente. Gene, die charakteristisch f{\"u}r die Gruppe der IAA-Datens{\"a}tze beziehungsweise f{\"u}r die Gruppe der Pathogen-Datens{\"a}tze sind, wurden n{\"a}her betrachtet. Diese Gene hatten Funktionen, die bereits mit Pathogenbefall bzw. dem Einfluss von IAA in Verbindung gebracht wurden. Außerdem wurden Hypothesen {\"u}ber die Funktionen von bislang nicht annotierten Genen aufgestellt. In dieser Arbeit werden auch Prim{\"a}ranalysen von einzelnen Arabidopsis thaliana Genexpressions-Datens{\"a}tzen vorgestellt. In der dritten Publikation wird ein Experiment beschrieben, das durchgef{\"u}hrt wurde um herauszufinden ob Mikrowellen-Strahlung einen Einfluss auf die Genexpression einer Zellkultur hat. Dazu wurden explorative Analysemethoden angewendet. Es wurden geringe aber signifikante Ver{\"a}nderungen in einer sehr kleinen Anzahl von Genen beobachtet, die experimentell best{\"a}tigt werden konnten. Die Funktionen der regulierten Gene und eine Meta-Analyse mit {\"o}ffentlich zug{\"a}nglichen Datens{\"a}tzen einer Datenbank deuten darauf hin, dass die pflanzliche Zellkultur die Strahlung als eine Art Energiequelle {\"a}hnlich dem Licht wahrnimmt. Des weiteren wird in der vierten Publikation die funktionelle Analyse eines Arabidopsis thaliana Genexpressionsdatensatzes beschrieben. Die Analyse der Genexpressions eines pflanzlichen Tumores zeigte, dass er seinen Stoffwechsel von aerob und auxotroph auf anaerob und heterotroph umstellt. Gene der Photosynthese werden im Tumorgewebe reprimiert, Gene des Aminos{\"a}ure- und Fettstoffwechsels, der Zellwand und Transportkan{\"a}le werden so reguliert, dass Wachstum und Entwicklung des Tumors gef{\"o}rdert werden. In der f{\"u}nften Publikation in dieser Arbeit wird GEPAT (Genome Expression Pathway Analysis Tool) beschrieben. Es besteht aus einer Internet- Anwendung und einer Datenbank, die das einfache Hochladen von Datens{\"a}tzen in die Datenbank und viele M{\"o}glichkeiten der Datenanalyse und die Integration anderer Datentypen erlaubt. In den folgenden zwei Publikationen (Publikation 6 und Publikation 7) wird GEPAT auf humane Microarray-Datens{\"a}tze angewendet um Genexpressionsdaten mit weiteren Datentypen zu verkn{\"u}pfen. Genexpressionsdaten und Daten aus vergleichender Genom-Hybridisierung (CGH) von prim{\"a}ren Tumoren von 71 Mantel-Zell-Lymphom (MCL) Patienten erm{\"o}glichte die Ermittlung eines Pr{\"a}diktors, der die Vorhersage der {\"U}berlebensdauer von Patienten gegen{\"u}ber herk{\"o}mmlichen Methoden verbessert. Die Analyse der CGH Daten zeigte, dass auch diese f{\"u}r die Vorhersage der {\"U}berlebensdauer geeignet sind. F{\"u}r den Datensatz von Patienten mit großzellig diffusem B-Zell-Lymphom DLBCL konnte aus den Genexpressionsdaten ebenfalls ein neuer Pr{\"a}diktor vorgeschlagen werden. Mit den zwischen lang und kurz {\"u}berlebenden Patienten differentiell exprimierten Genen der MCL Patienten und mit den Genen, die zwischen den beiden Untergruppen von DLBCL reguliert sind, wurden Interaktionsnetzwerke gebildet. Diese zeigen, dass bei beiden Krebstypen Gene des Zellzyklus und der Proliferation zwischen Patienten mit kurzer und langer {\"U}berlebensdauer unterschiedlich reguliert sind.},

Skin was immunoreacted with antibodies against protein gene product 9.5, calcitonine gene-related peptide, substance P, CD31, and neurofilament 200 for small fiber subtypes. We assessed two skin sections per patient; on each skin section, two dermal areas (150 x 700 mu m each) were investigated for dermal nerve fiber length (DNFL). Results In FMS patients we found reduced DNFL of fibers with vessel contact compared to healthy controls (p<0.05). There were no differences for the other nerve fiber subtypes. Discussion We found less dermal nerve fibers in contact with blood vessels in FMS patients than in controls. The pathophysiological relevance of this finding is unclear, but we suggest the possibility of a relationship with impaired thermal tolerance commonly reported by FMS patients.},

In particular, the PTP scaffold was conjugated at the C2 position with the 1-(3-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-1H-pyrazole, a group believed to confer potency and selectivity toward the human (h) A\(_{2B}\) adenosine receptor (AR) to the xanthine ligand 8-(1-(3-(trifluoromethyl) benzyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H, 7H)-dione (CVT 6975). Interestingly, the synthesized compounds turned out to be inactive at the hA\(_{2B}\) AR but they displayed affinity at the hA\(_3\) AR in the nanomolar range. The best compound of the series (6) shows both high affinity (hA\(_3\) AR K\(_i\) = 11 nM) and selectivity (A\(_1\)/A\(_3\) and A\(_{2A}\)/A\(_3\) > 9090; A\(_{2B}\)/A\(_3\) > 909) at the hA\(_3\) AR. To better rationalize these results, a molecular docking study on the four AR subtypes was performed for all the synthesized compounds. In addition, CTV 6975 and two close analogues have been subjected to the same molecular docking protocol to investigate the role of the 1-(3-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-1H-pyrazole on the binding at the four ARs.},

Histological examination of the lesion revealed a tumoral and diffuse polymorphic infiltration of the muscle by large lymphoid cells. Tumor cells displayed eccentric, lobulated "horse shoe" or "kidney-shape" nuclei. The cells showed immunohistochemical positivity for CD30, ALK-1, CD2, CD3, CD7, CD8, and Perforin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed a characteristic rearrangement of the ALK-1 gene in 2p23 leading to the diagnosis of ALK-1 positive ALCL. Chemotherapy according to the ALCL-99-NHL-BFM protocol was initiated and resulted in a complete remission after two cycles.

  abstract  = {Background: Representing 3\%-5\% of shoulder girdle injuries scapula fractures are rare. Furthermore, approximately 1\% of scapula fractures are intraarticularfractures of the glenoid fossa. Because of uncertain fracture morphology and limited experience, the treatment of glenoid fossa fractures is difficult. The glenoid fracture classification by Ideberg (1984) and Euler (1996) is still commonly used in literature. In 2013 a new glenoid fracture classification was introduced by the AO. The purpose of this study was to examine the new AO classification in clinical practice in comparison with the classifications by Ideberg and Euler. Methods: In total CT images of 84 patients with glenoid fossa fractures from 2005 to 2018 were included. Parasagittal, paracoronary and axial reconstructions were examined according to the classifications of Ideberg, Euler and the AO by 3 investigators (orthopedic surgeon, radiologist, student of medicine) at three individual time settings. Inter- and intraobserver reliability of the three classification systems were ascertained by computing Inter- and Intraclass (ICCs) correlation coefficients using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, 95\%-confidence intervals as well as F-tests for correlation coefficients. Results: Inter- and intraobserver reliability for the AO classification showed a perspicuous coherence (R = 0.74 and R = 0.79). Low to moderate intraobserver reliability for Ideberg (R = 0.46) and Euler classification (R = 0.41) was found. Furthermore, data show a low Interobserver reliability for both Ideberg and Euler classification (R < 0.2). Both the Inter- and Intraclass reliability using AO is significantly higher than those using Ideberg and Euler (p < 0.05). Using the new AO classification, it was possible to find a proper class for every glenoid fossa fracture. On average, according to Euler classification 10 of 84 fractures were not classifiable whereas to Ideberg classification 21 of 84 fractures were not classifiable. Conclusion: The new AO classification system introduced 2013 facilitates reliable grading of glenoid fossa fractures with high inter- and intraobserver reliability in 84 patients using CT images. It should possibly be applied in order to enable a valid, reliable and consistent academic description of glenoid fossa fractures. The established classifications by Euler and Ideberg are not capable of providing a similar reliability.},

  abstract  = {Background The Goutallier Classification is a semi quantitative classification system to determine the amount of fatty degeneration in rotator cuff muscles. Although initially proposed for axial computer tomography scans it is currently applied to magnet-resonance-imaging-scans. The role for its clinical use is controversial, as the reliability of the classification has been shown to be inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to compare the semi quantitative MRI-based Goutallier Classification applied by 5 different raters to experimental MR spectroscopic quantitative fat measurement in order to determine the correlation between this classification system and the true extent of fatty degeneration shown by spectroscopy. Methods MRI-scans of 42 patients with rotator cuff tears were examined by 5 shoulder surgeons and were graduated according to the MRI-based Goutallier Classification proposed by Fuchs et al. Additionally the fat/water ratio was measured with MR spectroscopy using the experimental SPLASH technique. The semi quantitative grading according to the Goutallier Classification was statistically correlated with the quantitative measured fat/water ratio using Spearman's rank correlation. Results Statistical analysis of the data revealed only fair correlation of the Goutallier Classification system and the quantitative fat/water ratio with R = 0.35 (p < 0.05). By dichotomizing the scale the correlation was 0.72. The interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities were substantial with R = 0.62 and R = 0.74 (p < 0.01). Conclusion The correlation between the semi quantitative MRI based Goutallier Classification system and MR spectroscopic fat measurement is weak. As an adequate estimation of fatty degeneration based on standard MRI may not be possible, quantitative methods need to be considered in order to increase diagnostic safety and thus provide patients with ideal care in regard to the amount of fatty degeneration. Spectroscopic MR measurement may increase the accuracy of the Goutallier classification and thus improve the prediction of clinical results after rotator cuff repair. However, these techniques are currently only available in an experimental setting.},

Only a small fraction of the members of the genus Hieracium has been illustrated or photo-documented in the literature. Since many of these publications are difficult to obtain, only a few specialists are familiar with most of the species and subspecies described in the literature. In order to overcome this problem and encourage geobotanical research on the genus Hieracium, we decided to edit an iconography of central and southern European Hieracia in an electronical journal (Forum geobotanicum) with free international access through the internet. Part I of this endeavour contains descriptions and photographs of the morphological spectrum of the genus Hieracium. Here, we categorize the genus into 15 basic morphotypes. These types conform partly to the sections and subsections of the genus Hieracium, but are in some cases informal and may even include members of different sections. Classification of morphotypes is considered helpful to obtain a first rough picture of an unknown species that then can be traced to the species and subspecies level by using keys or, after completion of this iconography, simply by screening the relevant images. One particularly novel aspect of the present endeavour will be the regular inclusion of magnified images and scanning electron micrographs.},

Von diesen ist die suprakondyl{\"a}re Humerusfraktur mit ca. 60 Prozent (50 Prozent - 70 Prozent) die h{\"a}ufigste Fraktur. Bedeutend ist sie, weil es sich um eine gelenknahe Fraktur handelt, deren exakte Reposition und Fixation schwierig ist und Wachstumsfugen nicht tangiert werden d{\"u}rfen. Es treten auch relativ h{\"a}ufig Nerven- und Gef{\"a}ßl{\"a}sionen, Gelenkfehlstellungen und Bewegungseinschr{\"a}nkungen sowie der Cubitus varus auf, die immer wieder erneut Anlaß zu Diskussionen {\"u}ber neue, verbesserte Therapiemaßnahmen geben. Das Bestreben, Komplikationen zu vermindern, hat in der Vergangenheit zu einer Vielzahl von Therapiemaßnahmen gef{\"u}hrt. Erst 1998 einigte sich die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kindertraumatologie der Deutschen Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Unfallchirurgie auf eine einheitliche Klassifikation der Frakturen, die im Vergleich zu den fr{\"u}her gebr{\"a}uchlichen Klassifikationen, die Rotationsstellung, den wichtigsten Grund f{\"u}r die Entstehung f{\"u}r Fehlstellungen, mit ber{\"u}cksichtigt. Es wurden auch, nach der Auswertung einer retrospektiven deutschlandweiten Sammelstudie, Therapieempfehlungen nach Dislokations- und Rotationsgrad der neuen Klassifikation herausgegeben. Leider konnte man sich immer noch nicht auf einheitliche Bewertungskriterien einigen. In der Universit{\"a}tsklinik W{\"u}rzburg wurde bereits in den Jahren 1986 bis 1996 im weitesten Sinne nach diesen Richtlinien therapiert, da man fr{\"u}hzeitig die Bedeutung des Rotationsfehlers erkannt hatte. Im Allgemeinen Teil wird auf die speziellen Grundlagen eingegangen, die Besonderheiten der Ellenbogenregion und des wachsenden Skeletts erl{\"a}utert, um das Entstehen der verschiedenen Komplikationen zu verdeutlichen. Der Spezielle Teil stellt die Auswertung der nachuntersuchten 80 von 136 Patienten, die von 1986 bis 1996 in der kinderchirurgischen Abteilung der Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg behandelt wurden, von den allgemeinen Daten {\"u}ber die Klassifikationen, Therapiemethoden und Komplikationen detailliert dar. An Behandlungsmethoden kamen zwei konservative (Blount und Gips), die perkutane gekreuzte Kirschner-Draht-Osteosynsthese und die offene Reposition als Therapiemethoden zum Einsatz. Die perkutane Kirschner-Draht-Osteosynthese erzielte mit 94 Prozent Ideale und Gute Ergebnisse in der Bewertung nach Morger. Bei den konservativen Therapien wurden 80 Prozent mit ideal und gut bewertet. Das Ergebnis der offenen Repositionen lag mit 83 Prozent auch noch weit {\"u}ber dem deutschlandweiten Durchschnitt von 56 Prozent der Idealen Ergebnissen. Die gr{\"o}ßere Anzahl an schwierigen F{\"a}llen f{\"u}hrten auch zu dem Auftreten einer relativ hohen Anzahl prim{\"a}rer Komplikationen wie Nerven- (22,5 Prozent) und Gef{\"a}ßl{\"a}sionen (5 Prozent), die jedoch fast alle innerhalb kurzer Zeit folgenlos ausheilten. In unserem Patientengut hatten f{\"u}nf Patienten (6,25 Prozent) einen Cubitus varus. Schwerwiegende Komplikationen wie die Volkmann´sche Kontraktur traten nicht auf. In der Diskussion werden die eigenen Ergebnisse in Bezug zur deutschland-weiten Sammelstudie, zu Vorg{\"a}ngerarbeiten (F{\"a}lle von 1975 - 1985 und 1964 - 1974) und weiteren aktuellen Ver{\"o}ffentlichungen gebracht.},

  abstract  = {Background Morphology and glenoid involvement determine the necessity of surgical management in scapula fractures. While being present in only a small share of patients with shoulder trauma, numerous classification systems have been in use over the years for categorization of scapula fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the established AO/OTA classification in comparison to the classification system of Euler and R{\"u}edi (ER) with regard to interobserver reliability and confidence in clinical practice. Methods Based on CT imaging, 149 patients with scapula fractures were retrospectively categorized by two trauma surgeons and two radiologists using the classification systems of ER and AO/OTA. To measure the interrater reliability, Fleiss kappa (κ) was calculated independently for both fracture classifications. Rater confidence was stated subjectively on a five-point scale and compared with Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Additionally, we computed the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) based on absolute agreement in a two-way random effects model to assess the diagnostic confidence agreement between observers. Results In scapula fractures involving the glenoid fossa, interrater reliability was substantial (κ = 0.722; 95\% confidence interval [CI] 0.676-0.769) for the AO/OTA classification in contrast to moderate agreement (κ = 0.579; 95\% CI 0.525-0.634) for the ER classification system. Diagnostic confidence for intra-articular fracture patterns was superior using the AO/OTA classification compared to ER (p < 0.001) with higher confidence agreement (ICC: 0.882 versus 0.831). For extra-articular fractures, ER (κ = 0.817; 95\% CI 0.771-0.863) provided better interrater reliability compared to AO/OTA (κ = 0.734; 95\% CI 0.692-0.776) with higher diagnostic confidence (p < 0.001) and superior agreement between confidence ratings (ICC: 0.881 versus 0.912). Conclusions The AO/OTA classification is most suitable to categorize intra-articular scapula fractures with glenoid involvement, whereas the classification system of Euler and R{\"u}edi appears to be superior in extra-articular injury patterns with fractures involving only the scapula body, spine, acromion and coracoid process.},

Dies f{\"u}hrte in der Vergangenheit zur Etablierung zahlreicher pathohistologischer Klassifikationssysteme mit dem Ziel, das Risiko einer malignen Transformation in ein invasives Carcinom und die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Lokalrezidivs nach Tumorektomie anhand histologischer Kriterien abzusch{\"a}tzen. Zur Untersuchung solcher Klassifikationsparameter auf ihre Wichtigkeit sollte der genetische Hintergrund am Beispiel der chromosomalen Trisomie untersucht werden und mit diesen korreliert werden. Die Ergebnisse einer DNA-in situ-Hybridisierung an Paraffin-Material mit spezifischen Proben f{\"u}r die Chromosomen 1, 7, 8 und 18 zeigen, daß Trisomien in dieser Neoplasie ein h{\"a}ufiges Ereignis darstellen (56 Prozent aller F{\"a}lle) und daß diese mit den histologischen Parametern der Nekrose und einem hohen Kernatypiegrad korrelieren. Dieser Befund wird durch die Tatsache untermauert, daß solche Beziehungen sogar im gleichen Tumor gefunden werden, wenn dieser eine heterogene Morphologie aufwies. So l{\"a}ßt sich die große Bedeutung der Klassifikationsparameter Nekrose und Kern-Atypie auch durch die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit unterstreichen. Eine Trisomie des Chromosoms 18 konnte nur in F{\"a}llen von einer Koinzidenz mit mikroinvasiven Herden detektiert werden. Dies deckt sich mit s{\"a}mtlichen Angaben der Literatur, bei denen eine Trisomie 18 nie bei streng intraduktalem DCIS, sondern nur bei mikroinvasiven oder invasiven Mamma-Karzinomen gefunden wurde. Folglich w{\"a}re es wichtig, mit weiteren Untersuchungen die Bedeutung dieser Aberration im Invasionsgeschehen und in der Diagnosestellung einer Mikroinvasion des DCIS zu analysieren.},

  abstract  = {Background: During the last decade, cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was a current research focus without a standardized classification in digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This study was performed to investigate a device-independent visual cerebral vasospasm classification for endovascular treatment. Methods: The analyses are DSA based rather than multimodal. Ten defined points of intracranial arteries were measured in 45 patients suffering from cerebral vasospasm after SAH at three time points (hospitalization, before spasmolysis, control after six months). Mathematical clustering of vessel diameters was performed to generate four objective grades for comparison. Six interventional neuroradiologists in two groups scored 237 DSAs after a new visual classification (grade 0-3) developed on a segmental pattern of vessel contraction. For the second group, a threshold-based criterion was amended. Results: The raters had a reproducibility of 68.4\% in the first group and 75.2\% in the second group. The complementary threshold-based criterion increased the reproducibility by about 6.8\%, while the rating deviated more from the mathematical clustering in all grades. Conclusions: The proposed visual classification scheme of cerebral vasospasm is suitable as a standard grading procedure for endovascular treatment. There is no advantage of a threshold-based criterion that compensates for the effort involved. Automated vessel analysis is superior to compare inter-group results in research settings.},

  abstract  = {The study aimed to develop a consensus classification system for the reporting of sound localization testing results, especially in the field of cochlear implantation. Against the background of an overview of the wide variations present in localization testing procedures and reporting metrics, a novel classification system was proposed to report localization errors according to the widely accepted International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. The obtained HEARRING_LOC_ICF scale includes the ICF graded scale: 0 (no impairment), 1 (mild impairment), 2 (moderate impairment), 3 (severe impairment), and 4 (complete impairment). Improvement of comparability of localization results across institutes, localization testing setups, and listeners was demonstrated by applying the classification system retrospectively to data obtained from cohorts of normal-hearing and cochlear implant listeners at our institutes. The application of our classification system will help to facilitate multi-center studies, as well as allowing better meta-analyses of data, resulting in improved evidence-based practice in the field.},

  abstract  = {Converging evidence from controlled experiments suggests that the mere processing of a number and its attributes such as value or parity might affect free choice decisions between different actions. For example the spatial numerical associations of response codes (SNARC) effect indicates the magnitude of a digit to be associated with a spatial representation and might therefore affect spatial response choices (i.e., decisions between a "left" and a "right" option). At the same time, other (linguistic) features of a number such as parity are embedded into space and might likewise prime left or right responses through feature words [odd or even, respectively; markedness association of response codes (MARC) effect]. In this experiment we aimed at documenting such influences in a natural setting. We therefore assessed number space and parity space association effects by exposing participants to a fair distribution task in a card playing scenario. Participants drew cards, read out loud their number values, and announced their response choice, i.e., dealing it to a left vs. right player, indicated by Playmobil characters. Not only did participants prefer to deal more cards to the right player, the card's digits also affected response choices and led to a slightly but systematically unfair distribution, supported by a regular SNARC effect and counteracted by a reversed MARC effect. The experiment demonstrates the impact of SNARC- and MARC-like biases in free choice behavior through verbal and visual numerical information processing even in a setting with high external validity.},

  abstract  = {Recently, several classifiers that combine primary tumor data, like gene expression data, and secondary data sources, such as protein-protein interaction networks, have been proposed for predicting outcome in breast cancer. In these approaches, new composite features are typically constructed by aggregating the expression levels of several genes. The secondary data sources are employed to guide this aggregation. Although many studies claim that these approaches improve classification performance over single genes classifiers, the gain in performance is difficult to assess. This stems mainly from the fact that different breast cancer data sets and validation procedures are employed to assess the performance. Here we address these issues by employing a large cohort of six breast cancer data sets as benchmark set and by performing an unbiased evaluation of the classification accuracies of the different approaches. Contrary to previous claims, we find that composite feature classifiers do not outperform simple single genes classifiers. We investigate the effect of (1) the number of selected features; (2) the specific gene set from which features are selected; (3) the size of the training set and (4) the heterogeneity of the data set on the performance of composite feature and single genes classifiers. Strikingly, we find that randomization of secondary data sources, which destroys all biological information in these sources, does not result in a deterioration in performance of composite feature classifiers. Finally, we show that when a proper correction for gene set size is performed, the stability of single genes sets is similar to the stability of composite feature sets. Based on these results there is currently no reason to prefer prognostic classifiers based on composite features over single genes classifiers for predicting outcome in breast cancer.},

The classification accuracies as well as the backscatter and reflectance characteristics were analyzed using reference data collected during three field work campaigns and include in situ data and high resolution airborne photography. The optical data offered an acceptable initial accuracy for the land cover classification. The overall accuracy was increased by the combination of PolSAR and optical data and was up to 71\% for unsupervised (Landsat 8 and TerraSAR-X) and up to 87\% for supervised classification (Landsat 8 and Radarsat-2) for five tundra land cover types. The decomposition features of the dual and quad-polarized data showed a high sensitivity for the non-vegetated substrate (dominant surface scattering) and wetland vegetation (dominant double bounce and volume scattering).

  abstract  = {Background and Objectives: Cycloid psychoses are characterized by polymorphic symptomatology with intraphasic bipolarity, a remitting and recurrent course and favourable prognosis. Perris and Brocicington (P\&B) described the first set of operational criteria that were partly incorporated in ICD-10. The present study investigates psychopathological profiles according to the P\&B criteria and the original descriptions by Leonhard, both against the background of the criteria from the prevailing international classification systems. Methods: Eighty patients with psychotic disorders were recruited and assessed with various psychometric instruments at baseline and after six weeks of antipsychotic treatment in order to investigate the presence of cycloid psychoses according to Leonhard (LCP) and the effect of treatment with antipsychotics. The overlap between LCP and DSM-IV Brief Psychotic Disorder (BPD), ICD Acute Polymorphic Psychotic Disorder (APP) and P\&B criteria was calculated. Results: Using P\&B criteria and a symptom checklist adapted from the original descriptions by Leonhard, 14 and 12 cases of cycloid psychosis were identified respectively reflecting a prevalence of 15-18\%. Small though significant concordance rates were found between LCP and both DSM-BPD and ICD-APP. Concordance between LCP and P\&B criteria was also significant, but modest. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that LCP can be identified in a substantial number of patients with psychotic disorders. Cycloid psychoses are not adequately covered in current classification systems and criteria. Since they are demonstrated to have a specific psychopathological profile, relapsing course and favourable prognosis, it is advocated to include these psychoses in daily differential diagnostic procedures.},

  abstract  = {Background: Oro-antral communication (OAC) is a common complication following the extraction of upper molar teeth. The Archer and the Root Sinus (RS) systems can be used to classify impacted teeth in panoramic radiographs. The Archer classes B-D and the Root Sinus classes III, IV have been associated with an increased risk of OAC following tooth extraction in the upper molar region. In our previous study, we found that panoramic radiographs are not reliable for predicting OAC. This study aimed to (1) determine the feasibility of automating the classification (Archer/RS classes) of impacted teeth from panoramic radiographs, (2) determine the distribution of OAC stratified by classification system classes for the purposes of decision tree construction, and (3) determine the feasibility of automating the prediction of OAC utilizing the mentioned classification systems. Methods: We utilized multiple supervised pre-trained machine learning models (VGG16, ResNet50, Inceptionv3, EfficientNet, MobileNetV2), one custom-made convolutional neural network (CNN) model, and a Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) technique to evaluate the performance to predict the clinical classification systems RS and Archer from panoramic radiographs (Aim 1). We then used Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detectors (CHAID) to determine the distribution of OAC stratified by the Archer/RS classes to introduce a decision tree for simple use in clinics (Aim 2). Lastly, we tested the ability of a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP) and a radial basis function neural network (RBNN) to predict OAC based on the high-risk classes RS III, IV, and Archer B-D (Aim 3). Results: We achieved accuracies of up to 0.771 for EfficientNet and MobileNetV2 when examining the Archer classification. For the AUC, we obtained values of up to 0.902 for our custom-made CNN. In comparison, the detection of the RS classification achieved accuracies of up to 0.792 for the BoVW and an AUC of up to 0.716 for our custom-made CNN. Overall, the Archer classification was detected more reliably than the RS classification when considering all algorithms. CHAID predicted 77.4\% correctness for the Archer classification and 81.4\% for the RS classification. MLP (AUC: 0.590) and RBNN (AUC: 0.590) for the Archer classification as well as MLP 0.638) and RBNN (0.630) for the RS classification did not show sufficient predictive capability for OAC. Conclusions: The results reveal that impacted teeth can be classified using panoramic radiographs (best AUC: 0.902), and the classification systems can be stratified according to their relationship to OAC (81.4\% correct for RS classification). However, the Archer and RS classes did not achieve satisfactory AUCs for predicting OAC (best AUC: 0.638). Additional research is needed to validate the results externally and to develop a reliable risk stratification tool based on the present findings.},

  abstract  = {Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The degree of radiographic bone loss can be used to assess the course of therapy or the severity of the disease. Since automated bone loss detection has many benefits, our goal was to develop a multi-object detection algorithm based on artificial intelligence that would be able to detect and quantify radiographic bone loss using standard two-dimensional radiographic images in the maxillary posterior region. This study was conducted by combining three recent online databases and validating the results using an external validation dataset from our organization. There were 1414 images for training and testing and 341 for external validation in the final dataset. We applied a Keypoint RCNN with a ResNet-50-FPN backbone network for both boundary box and keypoint detection. The intersection over union (IoU) and the object keypoint similarity (OKS) were used for model evaluation. The evaluation of the boundary box metrics showed a moderate overlapping with the ground truth, revealing an average precision of up to 0.758. The average precision and recall over all five folds were 0.694 and 0.611, respectively. Mean average precision and recall for the keypoint detection were 0.632 and 0.579, respectively. Despite only using a small and heterogeneous set of images for training, our results indicate that the algorithm is able to learn the objects of interest, although without sufficient accuracy due to the limited number of images and a large amount of information available in panoramic radiographs. Considering the widespread availability of panoramic radiographs as well as the increasing use of online databases, the presented model can be further improved in the future to facilitate its implementation in clinics.},

Um diese M{\"a}ngel zu {\"u}berwinden, wurden in dieser Arbeit zwei Ziele verfolgt, die zu der Entwicklung und Etablierung neuer in vitro Methoden zur Pr{\"u}fung auf Genotoxizit{\"a}t in der Arzneimittelentwicklung beitragen. 1. Etablierung und Bewertung einer neuen in vitro Genotoxizit{\"a}tsmethode (MultiFlow Methode) Die MultiFlow Methode basiert auf DNA-schadensassoziierten Proteinantworten von γH2AX (DNA-Doppelstrangbr{\"u}che), phosphorylierten H3 (S10) (mitotische Zellen), nukle{\"a}ren Protein p53 (Genotoxizit{\"a}t) und cleaved PARP1 (Apoptose) in TK6-Zellen. Insgesamt wurden 31 Modellsubstanzen mit dem MultiFlow Assay und erg{\"a}nzend mit dem etablierten Mikrokerntest (MicroFlow MNT), auf ihre F{\"a}higkeit verschiedene MoA-Gruppen (Aneugene/Klastogene/Nicht-Genotoxine) zu differenzieren, untersucht. Die Performance der „neuen" gegen{\"u}ber der „alten" Methode f{\"u}hrte zu einer verbesserten Sensitivit{\"a}t von 95\% gegen{\"u}ber 90\%, Spezifit{\"a}t von 90\% gegen{\"u}ber 72\% und einer MoA-Klassifizierungsrate von 85\% gegen{\"u}ber 45\% (Aneugen vs. Klastogen). 2. Identifizierung mechanistischer Biomarker zur Klassifizierung genotoxischer Substanzen Die Analyse 67 ausgew{\"a}hlter DNA-schadensassoziierter Gene in der QuantiGene Plex Methode zeigte, dass mehrere Gene gleichzeitig zur MoA-Klassifizierung beitragen k{\"o}nnen. Die Kombination der h{\"o}chstrangierten Marker BIK, KIF20A, TP53I3, DDB2 und OGG1 erm{\"o}glichte die beste Identifizierungsrate der Modellsubstanzen. Das synergetische Modell kategorisierte 16 von 16 Substanzen korrekt in Aneugene, Klastogene und Nicht-Genotoxine. Unter Verwendung der Leave-One-Out-Kreuzvalidierung wurde das Modell evaluiert und erreichte eine Sensitivit{\"a}t, Spezifit{\"a}t und Pr{\"a}diktivit{\"a}t von 86\%, 83\% und 85\%. Ergebnisse der traditionellen qPCR Methode zeigten, dass Genotoxizit{\"a}t mit TP53I3, Klastogenit{\"a}t mit ATR und RAD17 und oxidativer Stress mit NFE2L2 detektiert werden kann. Durch die Untersuchungen von posttranslationalen Modifikationen unter Verwendung der High-Content-Imaging-Technologie wurden mechanistische Assoziationen f{\"u}r BubR1 (S670) und pH3 (S28) mit Aneugenit{\"a}t, 53BP1 (S1778) und FANCD2 (S1404) mit Klastogenit{\"a}t, p53 (K373) mit Genotoxizit{\"a}t und Nrf2 (S40) mit oxidativem Stress identifiziert. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass (Geno)toxine unterschiedliche Gen- und Proteinver{\"a}nderungen in TK6-Zellen induzieren, die zur Erfassung mechanistischer Aktivit{\"a}ten und Einteilung (geno)toxischer MoA-Gruppen (Aneugen/Klastogen/ Reaktive Sauerstoffspezies) eingesetzt werden k{\"o}nnen und daher eine bessere Risikobewertung von Wirkstoffkandidaten erm{\"o}glichen.},

  abstract  = {Human growth has an estimated heritability of about 80\%-90\%. Nevertheless, the underlying cause of shortness of stature remains unknown in the majority of individuals. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) showed that both common single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants (CNVs) contribute to height variation under a polygenic model, although explaining only a small fraction of overall genetic variability in the general population. Under the hypothesis that severe forms of growth retardation might also be caused by major gene effects, we searched for rare CNVs in 200 families, 92 sporadic and 108 familial, with idiopathic short stature compared to 820 control individuals. Although similar in number, patients had overall significantly larger CNVs \((p-value <1 x 10^{-7})\). In a gene-based analysis of all non-polymorphic CNVs >50 kb for gene function, tissue expression, and murine knock-out phenotypes, we identified 10 duplications and 10 deletions ranging in size from 109 kb to 14 Mb, of which 7 were de novo (p < 0.03) and 13 inherited from the likewise affected parent but absent in controls. Patients with these likely disease causing 20 CNVs were smaller than the remaining group (p < 0.01). Eleven (55\%) of these CNVs either overlapped with known microaberration syndromes associated with short stature or contained GWAS loci for height. Haploinsufficiency (HI) score and further expression profiling suggested dosage sensitivity of major growth-related genes at these loci. Overall 10\% of patients carried a disease-causing CNV indicating that, like in neurodevelopmental disorders, rare CNVs are a frequent cause of severe growth retardation.},
