The purpose of the present study was to investigate effects of a syllable-based reading intervention on word reading fluency and reading comprehension among German-speaking poor readers in Grade 4. The 16-session intervention was based on analyzing the syllabic structure of words to strengthen the mental representations of syllables and words that consist of these syllables. The training materials were designed using the 500 most frequent syllables typically read by fourth graders. The 75 poor readers were randomly allocated to the treatment or the control group. Results indicate a significant and strong effect on the fluency of recognizing single words, whereas text-level reading comprehension was not significantly improved by the training. The specific treatment effect provides evidence that a short syllable-based approach works even in older poor readers at the end of primary school.}, language = {en} } @article{BuderMuellerBeekmannetal.2014, author = {Buder, Kristina and M{\"u}ller, Philip A. and Beekmann, Gabriele and Ugurel, Selma and Br{\"o}cker, Eva-Bettina and Becker, J{\"u}rgen C.}, title = {Denileukin Diftitox plus Total Skin Electron Beam Radiation in Patients with Treatment-refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (Mycosis Fungoides): Report of Four Cases}, series = {Acta Dermato-Venereologica}, volume = {94}, journal = {Acta Dermato-Venereologica}, doi = {10.2340/00015555-1627}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-120091}, pages = {94-96}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (1). Most patients initially respond well to standard therapy, but advanced MF is often treatment refractory. Thus, a combination of the available treatment options is an important strategy. Total skin electron beam radiation (TSEB) is effective in MF, with a complete remission rate of up to 90\% in the early stages. However, in patients with more advanced stages, remission rates are considerably lower (2, 3). Denileukin diftitox (DD) (OntakĀ®) is a recombinant fusion protein of the receptor-binding domain of interleukin (IL)-2 and the enzymatic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin (4). It targets the alpha-subunit of the IL-2-receptor (CD25). There are no reports on this combination therapy in MF.}, language = {en} }
