Currently, limited evidence is available regarding the regional impact and the outreach component of MTBs; (2) Methods: we analyzed MTB patient data from four neighboring Bavarian tertiary care oncology centers in W{\"u}rzburg, Erlangen, Regensburg, and Augsburg, together constituting the WERA Alliance. Absolute patient numbers and regional distribution across the WERA-wide catchment area were weighted with local population densities; (3) Results: the highest MTB patient numbers were found close to the four cancer centers. However, peaks in absolute patient numbers were also detected in more distant and rural areas. Moreover, weighting absolute numbers with local population density allowed for identifying so-called white spots—regions within our catchment that were relatively underrepresented in WERA MTBs; (4) Conclusions: investigating patient data from four neighboring cancer centers, we comprehensively assessed the regional impact of our MTBs. The results confirmed the success of existing collaborative structures with our regional partners. Additionally, our results help identifying potential white spots in providing precision oncology and help establishing a joint WERA-wide outreach strategy.}, language = {en} } @article{MarenholzEsparzaGordilloRueschendorfetal.2015, author = {Marenholz, Ingo and Esparza-Gordillo, Jorge and R{\"u}schendorf, Franz and Bauerfeind, Anja and Strachan, David P. and Spycher, Ben D. and Baurecht, Hansj{\"o}rg and Magaritte-Jeannin, Patricia and S{\"a}{\"a}f, Annika and Kerkhof, Marjan and Ege, Markus and Baltic, Svetlana and Matheson, Melanie C. and Li, Jin and Michel, Sven and Ang, Wei Q. and McArdle, Wendy and Arnold, Andreas and Homuth, Georg and Demenais, Florence and Bouzigon, Emmanuelle and S{\"o}derh{\"a}ll, Cilla and Pershagen, G{\"o}ran and de Jongste, Johan C. and Postma, Dirkje S. and Braun-Fahrl{\"a}nder, Charlotte and Horak, Elisabeth and Ogorodova, Ludmila M. and Puzyrev, Valery P. and Bragina, Elena Yu and Hudson, Thomas J. and Morin, Charles and Duffy, David L. and Marks, Guy B. and Robertson, Colin F. and Montgomery, Grant W. and Musk, Bill and Thompson, Philip J. and Martin, Nicholas G. and James, Alan and Sleiman, Patrick and Toskala, Elina and Rodriguez, Elke and F{\"o}lster-Holst, Regina and Franke, Andre and Lieb, Wolfgang and Gieger, Christian and Heinzmann, Andrea and Rietschel, Ernst and Keil, Thomas and Cichon, Sven and N{\"o}then, Markus M. and Pennel, Craig E. and Sly, Peter D. and Schmidt, Carsten O. and Matanovic, Anja and Schneider, Valentin and Heinig, Matthias and H{\"u}bner, Norbert and Holt, Patrick G. and Lau, Susanne and Kabesch, Michael and Weidinger, Stefan and Hakonarson, Hakon and Ferreira, Manuel A.

To unravel the genes underlying this characteristic pattern of allergic disease, we conduct a multi-stage genome-wide association study on infantile eczema followed by childhood asthma in 12 populations including 2,428 cases and 17,034 controls. Here we report two novel loci specific for the combined eczema plus asthma phenotype, which are associated with allergic disease for the first time; rs9357733 located in EFHC1 on chromosome 6p12.3 (OR 1.27; P = 2.1 x 10(-8)) and rs993226 between TMTC2 and SLC6A15 on chromosome 12q21.3 (OR 1.58; P = 5.3 x 10(-9)). Additional susceptibility loci identified at genome-wide significance are FLG (1q21.3), IL4/KIF3A (5q31.1), AP5B1/OVOL1 (11q13.1), C11orf30/LRRC32 (11q13.5) and IKZF3 (17q21). We show that predominantly eczema loci increase the risk for the atopic march. Our findings suggest that eczema may play an important role in the development of asthma after eczema.}, language = {en} } @article{GrussWieserSchweinbergeretal.2012, author = {Gruss, L.

Research with event-related potentials has demonstrated the so-called face inversion effect, in which the N170 component is enhanced in amplitude and latency to inverted, compared to upright, faces. The present study explored the extent to which repetitive lower-level visual cortical engagement, reflected in flicker steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs), shows similar amplitude enhancement to face inversion. We also asked if inversion-related ssVEP modulation would be dependent on the stimulation rate at which upright and inverted faces were flickered. To this end, multiple tagging frequencies were used (5, 10, 15, and 20 Hz) across two studies (n=21, n=18). Results showed that amplitude enhancement of the ssVEP for inverted faces was found solely at higher stimulation frequencies (15 and 20 Hz). By contrast, lower frequency ssVEPs did not show this inversion effect. These findings suggest that stimulation frequency affects the sensitivity of ssVEPs to face inversion.}, language = {en} } @article{StegmannAndreattaPaulietal.2023, author = {Stegmann, Yannik and Andreatta, Marta and Pauli, Paul and Keil, Andreas and Wieser, Matthias J.}, title = {Investigating sustained attention in contextual threat using steady-state VEPs evoked by flickering video stimuli}, series = {Psychophysiology}, volume = {60}, journal = {Psychophysiology}, number = {5}, doi = {10.1111/psyp.14229}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-312430}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Anxiety is characterized by anxious anticipation and heightened vigilance to uncertain threat. However, if threat is not reliably indicated by a specific cue, the context in which threat was previously experienced becomes its best predictor, leading to anxiety. A suitable means to induce anxiety experimentally is context conditioning: In one context (CTX+), an unpredictable aversive stimulus (US) is repeatedly presented, in contrast to a second context (CTX-), in which no US is ever presented. In this EEG study, we investigated attentional mechanisms during acquisition and extinction learning in 38 participants, who underwent a context conditioning protocol. Flickering video stimuli (32 s clips depicting virtual offices representing CTX+/-) were used to evoke steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs) as an index of visuocortical engagement with the contexts. Analyses of the electrocortical responses suggest a successful induction of the ssVEP signal by video presentation in flicker mode. Furthermore, we found clear indices of context conditioning and extinction learning on a subjective level, while cortical processing of the CTX+ was unexpectedly reduced during video presentation. The differences between CTX+ and CTX- diminished during extinction learning. Together, these results indicate that the dynamic sensory input of the video presentation leads to disruptions in the ssVEP signal, which is greater for motivationally significant, threatening contexts.}, language = {en} } @techreport{BaumgartBredebachHermetal.2022, author = {Baumgart, Michael and Bredebach, Patrick and Herm, Lukas-Valentin and Hock, David and Hofmann, Adrian and Janiesch, Christian and Jankowski, Leif Ole and Kampik, Timotheus and Keil, Matthias and Kolb, Julian and Kr{\"o}hn, Michael and Pytel, Norman and Schaschek, Myriam and St{\"u}bs, Oliver and Winkelmann, Axel and Zeiß, Christian}, title = {Plattform f{\"u}r das integrierte Management von Kollaborationen in Wertsch{\"o}pfungsnetzwerken (PIMKoWe)}, editor = {Winkelmann, Axel and Janiesch, Christian}, issn = {2199-0328}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-29335}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-293354}, pages = {248}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Das Verbundprojekt „Plattform f{\"u}r das integrierte Management von Kollaborationen in Wertsch{\"o}pfungsnetzwerken" (PIMKoWe - F{\"o}rderkennzeichen „02P17D160") ist ein Forschungsvorhaben im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms „Innovationen f{\"u}r die Produktion, Dienstleistung und Arbeit von morgen" der Bekanntmachung „Industrie 4.0 - Intelligente Kollaborationen in dynamischen Wertsch{\"o}pfungs-netzwerken" (InKoWe).

However, it is unclear if certain early-life childhood T1D risk factors were also associated with adult-onset T1D. This study aimed to assess associations between birth order, delivery mode or daycare attendance and type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk in a population-based cohort and whether these were similar for childhood- and adult-onset T1D (cut-off age 15); (2) Methods: Data were obtained from the German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie) baseline assessment. Self-reported diabetes was classified as T1D if: diagnosis age ≤ 40 years and has been receiving insulin treatment since less than one year after diagnosis. Cox regression was applied for T1D risk analysis; (3) Results: Analyses included 101,411 participants (100 childhood- and 271 adult-onset T1D cases). Compared to "only-children", HRs for second- or later-born individuals were 0.70 (95\% CI = 0.50-0.96) and 0.65 (95\% CI = 0.45-0.94), respectively, regardless of parental diabetes, migration background, birth year and perinatal factors. In further analyses, higher birth order reduced T1D risk in children and adults born in recent decades. Caesarean section and daycare attendance showed no clear associations with T1D risk; (4) Conclusions: Birth order should be considered in both children and adults' T1D risk assessment for early detection.}, language = {en} }
