  abstract  = {This expert opinion paper on cardiac imaging after acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) includes a statement of the "Heart and Brain" consortium of the German Cardiac Society and the German Stroke Society. The Stroke Unit-Commission of the German Stroke Society and the German Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) endorsed this paper. Cardiac imaging is a key component of etiological work-up after stroke. Enhanced echocardiographic tools, constantly improving cardiac computer tomography (CT) as well as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer comprehensive non- or less-invasive cardiac evaluation at the expense of increased costs and/or radiation exposure. Certain imaging findings usually lead to a change in medical secondary stroke prevention or may influence medical treatment. However, there is no proof from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that the choice of the imaging method influences the prognosis of stroke patients. Summarizing present knowledge, the German Heart and Brain consortium proposes an interdisciplinary, staged standard diagnostic scheme for the detection of risk factors of cardio-embolic stroke. This expert opinion paper aims to give practical advice to physicians who are involved in stroke care. In line with the nature of an expert opinion paper, labeling of classes of recommendations is not provided, since many statements are based on expert opinion, reported case series, and clinical experience.},

  abstract  = {Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology that can involve virtually all organ systems. Whereas most patients present without symptoms, progressive and disabling organ failure can occur in up to 10\% of subjects. Somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-directed peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has recently received market authorization for treatment of SSTR-positive neuroendocrine tumors. Methods: We describe the first case series comprising two patients with refractory multi-organ involvement of sarcoidosis who received 4 cycles of PRRT. Results: PRRT was well-tolerated without any acute adverse effects. No relevant toxicities could be recorded during follow-up. Therapy resulted in partial response accompanied by a pronounced reduction in pain (patient \#1) and stable disease regarding morphology as well as disease activity (patient \#2), respectively. Conclusion: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in sarcoidosis is feasible and might be a new valuable tool in patients with otherwise treatment-refractory disease. Given the long experience with and good tolerability of PRRT, further evaluation of this new treatment option for otherwise treatment-refractory sarcoidosis in larger patient cohorts is warranted.},

  abstract  = {Background: Dose requirements of erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) can vary considerably over time and may be associated with cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to longitudinally assess ESA responsiveness over time and to investigate its association with specific clinical end points in a time-dependent approach. Methods: The German Diabetes and Dialysis study (4D study) included 1,255 diabetic dialysis patients, of whom 1,161 were receiving ESA treatment. In those patients, the erythropoietin resistance index (ERI) was assessed every 6 months during a median follow-up of 4 years. The association between the ERI and cardiovascular end points was analyzed by time-dependent Cox regression analyses with repeated ERI measures. Results: Patients had a mean age of 66 ± 8.2 years; 53\% were male. During follow-up, a total of 495 patients died, of whom 136 died of sudden death and 102 of infectious death. The adjusted and time-dependent risk for sudden death was increased by 19\% per 5-unit increase in the ERI (hazard ratio, HR = 1.19, 95\% confidence interval, CI = 1.07-1.33). Similarly, mortality increased by 25\% (HR = 1.25, 95\% CI = 1.18-1.32) and infectious death increased by 27\% (HR = 1.27, 95\% CI = 1.13-1.42). Further analysis revealed that lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were associated with lower ESA responsiveness (p = 0.046). Conclusions: In diabetic dialysis patients, we observed that time-varying erythropoietin resistance is associated with sudden death, infectious complications and all-cause mortality. Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels may contribute to a lower ESA responsiveness.},

  abstract  = {Schlagw{\"o}rter: Salmonella , Salmonella enterica , Salmonella typhimurium , Salmonellose , Escherichia coli , Shigella , Infektion , Bakterielle Infektion , Zellkultur , HeLa-Zelle , Apoptosis , Metabolismus , Stoffwechsel , Glucose , Glucosetransport , Glucosestoffwechsel , Katabolismus , Kohlenstoff , Kohlenstoffbedarf , Kohlenstoffhaushalt , Kohlenstoffstoffwechsel , Kohlenstoff-13 , Kohlenstoffisotop Salmonella Typhimurium und enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) sind fakultativ intrazellul{\"a}re Bakterien aus der Familie der Enterobacteriaceae. W{\"a}hrend erstere sich nach der Internalisierung durch eukaryotische Zellen normalerweise in einem spezialisierten Phagosom, der Salmonella-enthaltenden Vakuole (SCV), vermehren, replizieren EIEC im Zytoplasma der Wirtszellen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde zun{\"a}chst durch Mikroinjektion die F{\"a}higkeit von S. Typhimurium 14028s untersucht, ebenfalls im Zytoplasma von Caco-2-Zellen replizieren zu k{\"o}nnen. Dabei wurde festgestellt, daß ein fr{\"u}her als S. Typhimurium 14028s WT bezeichneter Stamm eine Insertion eines Desoxythymidins an Position 76 des offenen Leserasters von rfbP tr{\"a}gt, einem Gen, dessen Protein an der LPS-Synthese beteiligt ist. Weiterhin synthetisierte dieser Stamm ein rauhes LPS. Aufgrund von Agglutination konnte der Rauh-Stamm nur mit geringem Erfolg mikroinjiziert werden. Hingegen lag 5 h nach der Mikroinjektion einer nicht invasiven Mutante von Salmonella mit vollst{\"a}ndigem LPS der Anteil an Caco-2-Zellen, die mehr als 32 Bakterien enthielten, bei etwa 30 \%. Der Anteil war 2-3 mal h{\"o}her als bei fr{\"u}heren Mikroinjektionen in HeLa-Zellen. Daher wurde das Verhalten von HeLa-Zellen nach einer Infektion durch S. Typhimurium ΔsifA - einer Mutante, die aus der SCV ins Zytoplasma entkommt - untersucht. Dabei wurde festgestellt, daß die sifA-Mutante 10 h nach der Infektion die Aktivit{\"a}t der Caspasen 9 und 3 in HeLa-Zellen, aber nicht in Caco-2-Zellen induziert. In weiteren Versuchen wurde die Bedeutung von Glukose, Glukose-6-phosphat und Mannose als Kohlenstoffquellen f{\"u}r die extra- und intrazellul{\"a}re Replikation zweier Isolate enteroinvasiver E. coli und eines S. Typhimurium Stammes analysiert. Zu diesem Zweck wurden zun{\"a}chst definierte Mutanten in den beiden wichtigsten Phosphoenolpyruvat-abh{\"a}ngigen Phosphotransferasesystemen (PTS) f{\"u}r die Aufnahme von Glukose und Mannose, ptsG und manXYZ, sowie im Antiporter f{\"u}r die Aufnahme von Glukose-6-phosphat, uhpT, konstruiert. Bei Wachstum im Minimalmedium mit Glukose als einziger C-Quelle waren die Generationszeiten aller ΔptsG- und ΔptsG, manXYZ-Mutanten im Vergleich zu den Wildst{\"a}mmen deutlich verl{\"a}ngert. Ebenso wuchsen ΔmanXYZ-Mutanten bzw. ΔuhpT-Mutanten deutlich langsamer auf Mannose bzw. Glukose-6-phosphat. Jedoch ergaben sich hierbei Stamm-spezifische Unterschiede. So erreichte EIEC 4608-58 ΔuhpT in der station{\"a}ren Phase eine {\"a}hnliche Zelldichte wie der Wildstamm in Gegenwart von Glukose-6-phosphat und eine ΔptsG, manXYZ-Mutante von S. Typhimurium 14028s konnte immer noch effizient mit Glukose wachsen. Infektionsversuche mit Caco-2-Zellen zeigten weiterhin, daß die Deletion von ptsG zu einer signifikanten Erh{\"o}hung der Adh{\"a}renz und Invasivit{\"a}t von EIEC 4608-58 f{\"u}hrt, w{\"a}hrend sich die intrazellul{\"a}ren Generationszeiten aller hier untersuchten Mutanten kaum ver{\"a}nderten. Selbst die ΔptsG, manXYZ, uhpT-Dreifachmutanten der drei hier verwendeten Enterobakterien und die ΔptsG, manXYZ, glk-Mutante von S. Typhimurium 14028s konnten immer noch in Caco-2-Zellen replizieren, wenn auch mit Stamm-spezifisch verringerten Geschwindigkeiten. 13C-Markierungsexperimente mit [U-13C6]-Glukose als Substrat ergaben jedoch, daß in der Tat alle hier untersuchten enterobakteriellen Wildst{\"a}mme Glukose w{\"a}hrend der Replikation in Caco-2-Zellen unter Zellkulturbedingungen verwerten. Glukose-6-phosphat, Glukonat oder Fetts{\"a}uren konnten dagegen als wichtigste Kohlenstoffquellen f{\"u}r das intrazellul{\"a}re Wachstum ausgeschlossen werden. EIEC 4608-58 metabolisierte Glukose jedoch weniger effizient als EIEC HN280 und schien zudem noch zus{\"a}tzlich C3-Substrate aus der Wirtszelle aufzunehmen. Das Markierungsmuster zeigte einen Stamm-spezifischen Kohlenstofffluß durch Glykolyse und/oder Entner-Doudoroff-Weg, Pentosephosphatzyklus, Citratzyklus und den anaplerotischen Reaktionen zwischen PEP und Oxalacetat. Mutanten mit Deletionen in ptsG und manXYZ konnten auf alternative C3-Substrate wechseln und glichen dies durch eine erh{\"o}hte Aufnahme von Aminos{\"a}uren aus den Wirtszellen aus.},

  abstract  = {Sepsis caused by Gram-positive bacterial pathogens is a major fatal disease but its molecular basis remains elusive. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) has been implicated in the orchestration of inflammation and sepsis but its role appears to vary for different pathogen species and clones. Accordingly, Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates differ substantially in their capacity to activate TLR2. Here we show that strong TLR2 stimulation depends on high-level production of phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptides in response to the global virulence activator Agr. PSMs are required for mobilizing lipoproteins, the TLR2 agonists, from the staphylococcal cytoplasmic membrane. Notably, the course of sepsis caused by PSM-deficient S. aureus is similar in wild-type and TLR2-deficient mice, but TLR2 is required for protection of mice against PSM-producing S. aureus. Thus, a crucial role of TLR2 depends on agonist release by bacterial surfactants. Modulation of this process may lead to new therapeutic strategies against Gram-positive infections.},

Design Generic qualitative study using half-standardized interviews. Method Nineteen face-to-face interviews and five focus groups (N = 50) were conducted with nurses of varying levels at a hospital of maximum medical care in Germany between August and November 2018 and were subjected to structured qualitative content analysis. Results Reflecting the ageing process and cooperation in mixed-age teams, nursing staff and supervisors defined similar age stereotypes towards older and younger nurses reminiscent of common generational labels 'Baby Boomers' and Generations X. Their evaluation created an inconsistent and contradictory pattern differing to the respective work context and goals. Age stereotypes were described as both potentially beneficial and detrimental for the individual and the cooperation in the team. If a successfully implemented diversity management focuses age stereotypes, negative assumptions can be reduced and cooperation in mixed-age teams can be considered beneficial. Conclusion Diversity management as measures against age stereotypes and for mutual acceptance and understanding should include staff from various hierarchical levels of the inpatient setting.},

  abstract  = {The presence of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) is one of the most frequent mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. FLT3 inhibitors, such as midostaurin, are used clinically but fail to entirely eradicate FLT3-ITD+AML. This study introduces a new perspective and highlights the impact of RAC1-dependent actin cytoskeleton remodeling on resistance to midostaurin in AML. RAC1 hyperactivation leads resistance via hyperphosphorylation of the positive regulator of actin polymerization N-WASP and antiapoptotic BCL-2. RAC1/N-WASP, through ARP2/3 complex activation, increases the number of actin filaments, cell stiffness and adhesion forces to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) being identified as a biomarker of resistance. Midostaurin resistance can be overcome by a combination of midostaruin, the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax and the RAC1 inhibitor Eht1864 in midostaurin-resistant AML cell lines and primary samples, providing the first evidence of a potential new treatment approach to eradicate FLT3-ITD+AML. Garitano-Trojaola et al. used a combination of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary samples to show that RAC1-dependent actin cytoskeleton remodeling through BCL2 family plays a key role in resistance to the FLT3 inhibitor, Midostaurin in AML. They showed that by targeting RAC1 and BCL2, Midostaurin resistance was diminished, which potentially paves the way for an innovate treatment approach for FLT3 mutant AML.},
