  abstract  = {Die Immunthrombozytopenie (ITP) ist eine erworbene Autoimmunerkrankung, bei der sich Autoantik{\"o}rper gegen Thrombozyten bilden. Dadurch werden diese, unter anderem in der Milz, vermehrt abgebaut und es treten Blutungskomplikationen auf. Der fehlgeleiteten Immunabwehr wird versucht mit medikament{\"o}sen Therapien wie z. B. mit Glucocorticoiden und Rituximab bis hin zur Splenektomie entgegenzuwirken. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit untersuchte ich durchflusszytometrisch die Verteilung der B-Zell-Subpopulationen bei Patienten mit chronischer, prim{\"a}rer ITP und Gesunden hinsichtlich einer m{\"o}glichen St{\"o}rung in der B-Zell-Entwicklung und -Differenzierung. Dabei wurden 7 Knochenmark-, 28 Blut- und 12 Milzproben von ITP-Patienten sowie 5 Knochenmark- und 10 Milzproben von Gesunden aufbereitet. Anschließend wurden die B-Zell-Subpopulationen mittels immunph{\"a}notypischer Marker gef{\"a}rbt um die Proben danach durchflusszytometrisch zu vermessen und zu charakterisieren. Zus{\"a}tzlich erfolgte der Vergleich zu laboreigenen, bereits etablierten Referenzwerten von 220 Blutproben von Gesunden. Bei den Knochenmarkproben konnten keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Verteilung von Vorl{\"a}ufer-B-Zellen zwischen den ITP-Patienten und den Gesunden beobachtet werden, d. h. die fr{\"u}he B-Zell-Entwicklung im Knochenmark erscheint bei der ITP auf zellul{\"a}rer Ebene nicht beeintr{\"a}chtigt. Die Analyse der Blutproben zeigte, dass auch keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Verteilung von naiven B-Zellen zwischen den ITP-Patienten und den Gesunden vorzufinden sind. Dies bekr{\"a}ftigt, dass bei der ITP auf zellul{\"a}rer Ebene keine Abweichungen in der fr{\"u}hen pre-immunen B-Zell-Entwicklung vorzuliegen scheinen und eine intakte B-Zell-Reifung bis hin zur naiven B-Zelle stattfindet. Es zeigte sich jedoch bei den ITP-Patienten ein erh{\"o}hter Anteil an anergen B-Zellen und atypischen Ged{\"a}chtnis-B-Zellen, von denen allgemein angenommen wird, dass sie aus einer chronischen bzw. dysregulierten antigen-abh{\"a}ngigen B-Zell-Aktivierung entstammen. Aus der Untersuchung der Milzproben zeigte sich zudem, dass bei den ITP-Patienten der Anteil der antik{\"o}rperproduzierenden Plasmablasten im Vergleich zu den Gesunden erh{\"o}ht ist. Folglich lassen sich bei der ITP auf zellul{\"a}rer Ebene vor allem Abweichungen in der sp{\"a}ten Phase der B-Zell-Differenzierung nachweisen. Es kann somit angenommen werden, dass St{\"o}rungen der B-Zell-Entwicklung, wie sie auf zellul{\"a}rer Ebene bei verschiedenen mit sekund{\"a}rer ITP einhergehenden Erkrankungen (systemischer Lupus erythematodes, variables Immundefektsyndrom) beschrieben wurden, bei der prim{\"a}ren ITP nicht f{\"u}r die Produktion von antithrombozyt{\"a}ren Antik{\"o}rpern notwendig sind. Eine weitere detaillierte Aufarbeitung, auf welcher Ebene der B-Zell-Differenzierung der Toleranzverlust gegen{\"u}ber thrombozyt{\"a}ren Antigenen auftritt, ist entscheidend f{\"u}r die zuk{\"u}nftige Entwicklung spezifischer, zellgerichteter Therapien.},

  abstract  = {Background Malignant hyperthermia (MH), a metabolic myopathy triggered by volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants, is a potentially lethal complication of general anesthesia in susceptible patients. The implementation of modern inhalation anesthetics that research indicates as less potent trigger substances and the recommended limitations of succinylcholine use, suggests there may be considerable decline of fulminant MH cases. In the presented study, the authors analyzed suspected MH episodes during general anesthesia of patients that were referred to the Wuerzburg MH unit between 2007 and 2011, assuming that MH is still a relevant anesthetic problem in our days. Methods With approval of the local ethics committee data of patients that underwent muscle biopsy and in vitro contracture test (IVCT) between 2007 and 2011 were analyzed. Only patients with a history of suspected MH crisis were included in the study. The incidents were evaluated retrospectively using anesthetic documentation and medical records. Results Between 2007 and 2011 a total of 124 patients were tested. 19 of them were referred because of suspected MH events; 7 patients were diagnosed MH-susceptible, 4 MH-equivocal and 8 MH-non-susceptible by IVCT. In a majority of cases masseter spasm after succinylcholine had been the primary symptom. Cardiac arrhythmias and hypercapnia frequently occurred early in the course of events. Interestingly, dantrolene treatment was initiated in a few cases only. Conclusions MH is still an important anesthetic complication. Every anesthetist must be aware of this life-threatening syndrome at any time. The rapid onset of adequate therapy is crucial to avoid major harm and possibly lethal outcome. Dantrolene must be readily available wherever MH triggering agents are used for anesthesia.},

  abstract  = {Given its non-invasive nature, there is increasing interest in the use of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) across basic, translational and clinical research. Contemporaneously, tVNS can be achieved by stimulating either the auricular branch or the cervical bundle of the vagus nerve, referred to as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation(VNS) and transcutaneous cervical VNS, respectively. In order to advance the field in a systematic manner, studies using these technologies need to adequately report sufficient methodological detail to enable comparison of results between studies, replication of studies, as well as enhancing study participant safety. We systematically reviewed the existing tVNS literature to evaluate current reporting practices. Based on this review, and consensus among participating authors, we propose a set of minimal reporting items to guide future tVNS studies. The suggested items address specific technical aspects of the device and stimulation parameters. We also cover general recommendations including inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants, outcome parameters and the detailed reporting of side effects. Furthermore, we review strategies used to identify the optimal stimulation parameters for a given research setting and summarize ongoing developments in animal research with potential implications for the application of tVNS in humans. Finally, we discuss the potential of tVNS in future research as well as the associated challenges across several disciplines in research and clinical practice.},

  abstract  = {Background: Proportions of patients dying from the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) vary between different countries. We report the characteristics; clinical course and outcome of patients requiring intensive care due to COVID-19 induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: This is a retrospective, observational multicentre study in five German secondary or tertiary care hospitals. All patients consecutively admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in any of the participating hospitals between March 12 and May 4, 2020 with a COVID-19 induced ARDS were included. Results: A total of 106 ICU patients were treated for COVID-19 induced ARDS, whereas severe ARDS was present in the majority of cases. Survival of ICU treatment was 65.0\%. Median duration of ICU treatment was 11 days; median duration of mechanical ventilation was 9 days. The majority of ICU treated patients (75.5\%) did not receive any antiviral or anti-inflammatory therapies. Venovenous (vv) ECMO was utilized in 16.3\%. ICU triage with population-level decision making was not necessary at any time. Univariate analysis associated older age, diabetes mellitus or a higher SOFA score on admission with non-survival during ICU stay. Conclusions: A high level of care adhering to standard ARDS treatments lead to a good outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients.},
