  abstract  = {Background Telemedicine improves the quality of acute stroke care in rural regions with limited access to specialized stroke care. We report the first 2 years' experience of implementing a comprehensive telemedical stroke network comprising all levels of stroke care in a defined region. Methods The TRANSIT-Stroke network covers a mainly rural region in north-western Bavaria (Germany). All hospitals providing acute stroke care in this region participate in TRANSIT-Stroke, including four hospitals with a supra-regional certified stroke unit (SU) care (level III), three of those providing teleconsultation to two hospitals with a regional certified SU (level II) and five hospitals without specialized SU care (level I). For a two-year-period (01/2015 to 12/2016), data of eight of these hospitals were available; 13 evidence-based quality indicators (QIs) related to processes during hospitalisation were evaluated quarterly and compared according to predefined target values between level-I- and level-II/III-hospitals. Results Overall, 7881 patients were included (mean age 74.6 years +/- 12.8; 48.4\% female). In level-II/III-hospitals adherence of all QIs to predefined targets was high ab initio. In level-I-hospitals, three patterns of QI-development were observed: a) high adherence ab initio (31\%), mainly in secondary stroke prevention; b) improvement over time (44\%), predominantly related to stroke specific diagnosis and in-hospital organization; c) no clear time trends (25\%). Overall, 10 out of 13 QIs reached predefined target values of quality of care at the end of the observation period. Conclusion The implementation of the comprehensive TRANSIT-Stroke network resulted in an improvement of quality of care in level-I-hospitals.},

  abstract  = {We report on the synthesis of N-heterocyclic tetrylenes ligated by the NON-donor framework 4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl-amino)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene. The molecular structures of the germylene (3), stannylene (4) and plumbylene (5) where determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Furthermore, we present quantum chemical studies on the σ-donor and π-acceptor properties of 3-5. Additionally, we report on the reactivity of the tetrylenes towards the transition metal carbonyls [Rh(CO)\(_{2}\)Cl]\(_{2}\), [W(CO)\(_{6}\)] and [Ni(CO)\(_{4}\)]. The isolated complexes (6 and 7) show the differing reactivity of NHTs compared to NHCs. Instead of just forming the anticipated complex [(NON)Sn-Rh(CO)\(_{2}\)Cl], 4 inserts into the Rh-Cl bond to afford [(NON)Sn(Cl)Rh(CO)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{6}\))] (6, additional CO/C6H6 exchange) and [(NON)Sn(Cl)Rh\(_{2}\)(CO)\(_{4}\)Cl] (7). By avoiding halogenated transition metal precursors in order to prevent insertion reactions, germylene 3 shows "classical" coordination chemistry towards {Ni(CO)3} forming the complex [(NON)Ge-Ni(CO)\(_{3}\)] (8).},

  abstract  = {Recovery of upper limb (UL) impairment after stroke is limited in stroke survivors. Since stroke can be considered as a network disorder, neuromodulation may be an approach to improve UL motor dysfunction. Here, we evaluated the effect of high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in rats on forelimb grasping using the single-pellet reaching (SPR) test after stroke and determined costimulated brain regions during STN-HFS using 2-[\(^{18}\)F]Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose-([\(^{18}\)F]FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET). After a 4-week training of SPR, photothrombotic stroke was induced in the sensorimotor cortex of the dominant hemisphere. Thereafter, an electrode was implanted in the STN ipsilateral to the infarction, followed by a continuous STN-HFS or sham stimulation for 7 days. On postinterventional day 2 and 7, an SPR test was performed during STN-HFS. Success rate of grasping was compared between these two time points. [\(^{18}\)F]FDG-PET was conducted on day 2 and 3 after stroke, without and with STN-HFS, respectively. STN-HFS resulted in a significant improvement of SPR compared to sham stimulation. During STN-HFS, a significantly higher [\(^{18}\)F]FDG-uptake was observed in the corticosubthalamic/pallidosubthalamic circuit, particularly ipsilateral to the stimulated side. Additionally, STN-HFS led to an increased glucose metabolism within the brainstem. These data demonstrate that STN-HFS supports rehabilitation of skilled forelimb movements, probably by retuning dysfunctional motor centers within the cerebral network.},
