  abstract  = {Designing of implant surfaces using a suitable ligand for cell adhesion to stimulate specific biological responses of stem cells will boost the application of regenerative implants. For example, materials that facilitate rapid and guided migration of stem cells would promote tissue regeneration. When seeded on fibronectin (FN) that was homogeneously immmobilized to NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO), which otherwise prevents protein binding and cell adhesion, human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) revealed a faster migration, increased spreading and a more rapid organization of different cellular components for cell adhesion on fibronectin than on a glass surface. To further explore, how a structural organization of FN controls the behavior of MSC, adhesive lines of FN with varying width between 10 mu m and 80 mu m and spacings between 5 mu m and 20 mu m that did not allow cell adhesion were generated. In dependance on both line width and gaps, cells formed adjacent cell contacts, were individually organized in lines, or bridged the lines. With decreasing sizes of FN lines, speed and directionality of cell migration increased, which correlated with organization of the actin cytoskeleton, size and shape of the nuclei as well as of focal adhesions. Together, defined FN lines and gaps enabled a fine tuning of the structural organization of cellular components and migration. Microstructured adhesive substrates can mimic the extracellular matrix in vivo and stimulate cellular mechanisms which play a role in tissue regeneration.},

  abstract  = {Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) provide a non-muscular communication channel for persons with severe motor impairments. Previous studies have shown that the aptitude with which a BCI can be controlled varies from person to person. A reliable predictor of performance could facilitate selection of a suitable BCI paradigm. Eleven severely motor impaired participants performed three sessions of a P300 BCI web browsing task. Before each session auditory oddball data were collected to predict the BCI aptitude of the participants exhibited in the current session. We found a strong relationship of early positive and negative potentials around 200 ms (elicited with the auditory oddball task) with performance. The amplitude of the P2 (r = -0.77) and of the N2 (r = -0.86) had the strongest correlations. Aptitude prediction using an auditory oddball was successful. The finding that the N2 amplitude is a stronger predictor of performance than P3 amplitude was reproduced after initially showing this effect with a healthy sample of BCI users. This will reduce strain on the end-users by minimizing the time needed to find suitable paradigms and inspire new approaches to improve performance.},

  abstract  = {For the current study the Lazarian stress-coping theory and the appendant model of psychosocial adjustment to chronic illness and disabilities (Pakenham, 1999) has shaped the foundation for identifying determinants of adjustment to ALS. We aimed to investigate the evolution of psychosocial adjustment to ALS and to determine its long-term predictors. A longitudinal study design with four measurement time points was therefore, used to assess patients' quality of life, depression, and stress-coping model related aspects, such as illness characteristics, social support, cognitive appraisals, and coping strategies during a period of 2 years. Regression analyses revealed that 55\% of the variance of severity of depressive symptoms and 47\% of the variance in quality of life at T2 was accounted for by all the T1 predictor variables taken together. On the level of individual contributions, protective buffering, and appraisal of own coping potential accounted for a significant percentage in the variance in severity of depressive symptoms, whereas problem management coping strategies explained variance in quality of life scores. Illness characteristics at T2 did not explain any variance of both adjustment outcomes. Overall, the pattern of the longitudinal results indicated stable depressive symptoms and quality of life indices reflecting a successful adjustment to the disease across four measurement time points during a period of about two years. Empirical evidence is provided for the predictive value of social support, cognitive appraisals, and coping strategies, but not illness parameters such as severity and duration for adaptation to ALS. The current study contributes to a better conceptualization of adjustment, allowing us to provide evidence-based support beyond medical and physical intervention for people with ALS.},

  abstract  = {Seltene Erkrankungen (SE) werden durch die im deutschen Gesundheitssystem verwendete Diagnosenklassifikation ICD-10-GM (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health problems, 10th Revision, German Modification) nur zu einem kleinen Teil eindeutig erfasst. Daher sind Aussagen zur H{\"a}ufigkeit von SE sowie zum speziellen Versorgungs- und Finanzierungsbedarf nicht m{\"o}glich, was zu einer l{\"u}ckenhaften Datenlage als Entscheidungsgrundlage f{\"u}r Krankenkassen, Leistungserbringer und Gesundheitspolitik f{\"u}hrt. Das Fehlen exakter Informationen behindert auch die wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Daher wird deutschlandweit ab 2023 die Verwendung der Alpha-ID-SE-Datei und der ORPHAcodes f{\"u}r die spezifische Erfassung von SE bei station{\"a}ren F{\"a}llen verpflichtend. Die Alpha-ID-SE-Datei verkn{\"u}pft die ICD-10-GM-Kodes mit den international anerkannten ORPHAcodes f{\"u}r die Diagnose von SE. Kommerzielle Anbieter stellen zunehmend die ben{\"o}tigten IT-Tools zur Kodierung von SE zur Verf{\"u}gung. An mehreren Universit{\"a}tskliniken mit Zentren f{\"u}r SE wurden L{\"o}sungen etabliert, die eine vollst{\"a}ndige Kodierung gew{\"a}hrleisten sollen. Hierzu geh{\"o}ren finanzielle Anreize f{\"u}r die kodierenden Bereiche, konkrete Nachfragen nach dem Vorliegen einer SE beim Kodiervorgang und eine semiautomatische Kodierung bei Patient*innen, die schon einmal mit einer SE an der Einrichtung betreut worden waren. Eine Kombination der verschiedenen Ans{\"a}tze verspricht die h{\"o}chste Wahrscheinlichkeit einer vollst{\"a}ndigen Kodierung. F{\"u}r ein umf{\"a}ngliches Bild der SE im Gesundheitssystem und um dem speziellen Versorgungs- und Finanzierungsbedarf besser Rechnung tragen zu k{\"o}nnen, w{\"a}re auch im ambulanten Bereich eine m{\"o}glichst spezifische und eindeutige Kodierung w{\"u}nschenswert. F{\"u}r komplexe SE und bisher undiagnostizierte Patient*innen wird zus{\"a}tzlich eine strukturierte Erfassung des Ph{\"a}notyps ben{\"o}tigt.},
