  abstract  = {Introduction The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses constitute a group of fatal inherited lysosomal storage diseases that manifest in profound neurodegeneration in the CNS. Visual impairment usually is an early symptom and selective degeneration of retinal neurons has been described in patients suffering from distinct disease subtypes. We have previously demonstrated that palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 deficient (Ppt1-/-) mice, a model of the infantile disease subtype, exhibit progressive axonal degeneration in the optic nerve and loss of retinal ganglion cells, faithfully reflecting disease severity in the CNS. Here we performed spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in Ppt1-/- and ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal 3 deficient (Cln3-/-) mice, which are models of infantile and juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, respectively, in order to establish a non-invasive method to assess retinal alterations and monitor disease severity in vivo. Results Blue laser autofluorescence imaging revealed increased accumulation of autofluorescent storage material in the inner retinae of 7-month-old Ppt1-/- and of 16-month-old Cln3-/- mice in comparison with age-matched control littermates. Additionally, optical coherence tomography demonstrated reduced thickness of retinae in knockout mice in comparison with age-matched control littermates. High resolution scans and manual measurements allowed for separation of different retinal composite layers and revealed a thinning of layers in the inner retinae of both mouse models at distinct ages. OCT measurements correlated well with subsequent histological analysis of the same retinae. Conclusions These results demonstrate the feasibility of OCT to assess neurodegenerative disease severity in mouse models of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and might have important implications for diagnostic evaluation of disease progression and therapeutic efficacy in patients. Moreover, the non-invasive method allows for longitudinal studies in experimental models, reducing the number of animals used for research.},

  abstract  = {Multiple Sklerose ist eine der h{\"a}ufigsten neurologischen Erkrankungen, die zu motorischen, sensiblen und vegetativen Einschr{\"a}nkungen f{\"u}hrt. H{\"a}ufig beginnt die Erkrankung mit einem schubf{\"o}rmigen Verlauf, dem eine progrediente Verschlechterung folgt. Trotzdem leiden ca. 15\% der Patienten bereits von Beginn an, an einer prim{\"a}r progressiven Variante der MS, die bereits mit der progredienten Phase beginnt. Bis jetzt ist die Pathophysiologie nicht vollst{\"a}ndig verstanden. Lange Zeit dachte man, dass MS prim{\"a}r eine reine Autoimmun-Erkrankung darstellt, aber in den letzten Jahren ergab sich die Frage, ob es vor allem in den progressiven Formen, eine zytodegenerative Komponente gibt, auf die eine sekund{\"a}re Inflammation folgt. Eine m{\"o}gliche Ursache stellen hier Mutationen des PLP 1 Gens dar, die normalerweise mit leukodystrophischen Erkrankungen assoziiert sind. Es gab zwei Fallberichte, in denen von Patienten berichtet wurde, die unterschiedliche Mutationen in diesem Gen hatten und den klinischen Ph{\"a}notyp einer MS zeigten. Diese Arbeit sollte nun die Auswirkungen der Mutationen, beziehungsweise einer Nullmutation des PLP 1 Gens in 18- und zum Teil 12-Monate alten Mausmutanten untersuchen. Hier konnten Myelin-Ver{\"a}nderungen und axonaler Schaden in immunhistochemischen Untersuchungen sowie mittels Elektronenmikroskopie und optischer Koh{\"a}renztomographie gezeigt werden. Weiter konnte eine Neuroinflammation und damit einhergehend eine zunehmende Anzahl CD8+ T-Zellen sowie einer erh{\"o}hten Anzahl an Mikroglia/Makrophagen gefunden werden. Dies ging mit vergleichsweise reduzierten Leistungen der Mutanten bei der motorischen Rotarod-Analyse einher. Interessanterweise wurde weniger neuraler Schaden in den heterozygoten Varianten gefunden, obwohl das Ausmaß der Entz{\"u}ndung gleichblieb. Dies k{\"o}nnte f{\"u}r eine zielgerichtete immunvermittelte Sch{\"a}digung der Oligodendrozyten sprechen, die zu neuronalem Schaden f{\"u}hrt. So konnte gezeigt werden, dass es durch Punktmutationen in einem Myelinprotein-codierendem Gen zu einer sekund{\"a}ren Entz{\"u}ndung kommen kann, die mit dem klinischen Ph{\"a}notyp einer progressiven MS einhergeht. Weiter sind diese Mausmodelle ein Beispiel f{\"u}r eine genetische Erkrankung des ZNS, in denen die Klinik maßgeblich durch die begleitende Inflammation und nicht allein durch den genetischen Schaden verursacht wird.},

  abstract  = {Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a flood of — often contradictory — evidence. HCWs had to develop strategies to locate information that supported their work. We investigated the information-seeking of different HCW groups in Germany. Methods: In December 2020, we conducted online surveys on COVID-19 information sources, strategies, assigned trustworthiness, and barriers — and in February 2021, on COVID-19 vaccination information sources. Results were analyzed descriptively; group comparisons were performed using χ\(^2\)-tests. Results: For general COVID-19-related medical information (413 participants), non-physicians most often selected official websites (57\%), TV (57\%), and e-mail/newsletters (46\%) as preferred information sources — physicians chose official websites (63\%), e-mail/newsletters (56\%), and professional journals (55\%). Non-physician HCWs used Facebook/YouTube more frequently. The main barriers were insufficient time and access issues. Non-physicians chose abstracts (66\%), videos (45\%), and webinars (40\%) as preferred information strategy; physicians: overviews with algorithms (66\%), abstracts (62\%), webinars (48\%). Information seeking on COVID-19 vaccination (2700 participants) was quite similar, however, with newspapers being more often used by non-physicians (63\%) vs. physician HCWs (70\%). Conclusion: Non-physician HCWs more often consulted public information sources. Employers/institutions should ensure the supply of professional, targeted COVID-19 information for different HCW groups.},
