S2k-Leitlinie – Empfehlungen zur stationären Therapie von Patienten mit COVID-19

Zusammenfassung Seit Dezember 2019 verbreitet sich das neuartige Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – Corona Virus-2) rasch im Sinne einer weltweiten Pandemie. Dies stellt Kliniker und Krankenhäuser vor große Herausforderungen und belastet die Gesundheitssysteme vieler Länder in einem nie dagewesenen Ausmaß. Die Mehrheit der Patienten mit Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) zeigt lediglich milde Symptome wie Husten und Fieber. Allerdings benötigen etwa 8 % eine stationäre Behandlung. Der frühzeitigen Klärung, ob eine stationäre und ggfs. intensivmedizinische Behandlung medizinisch sinnvoll und vom Patienten gewollt ist, kommt in der Pandemie eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die akute hypoxämische respiratorische Insuffizienz mit Dyspnoe und hoher Atemfrequenz (> 30/min) führt i. d. R. zur Aufnahme auf die Intensivstation. Oft finden sich dann bereits bilaterale pulmonale Infiltrate/Konsolidierungen oder auch Lungenembolien in der Bildgebung. Im weiteren Verlauf entwickeln einige dieser Patienten ein akutes Lungenversagen (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome; ARDS). Eine Sterblichkeitsreduktion einer verfügbaren medikamentösen Therapie bei schwerer COVID-19-Erkrankung ist bisher lediglich für Dexamethason in randomisiert, kontrollierten Studien nachgewiesen. Das Hauptziel der supportiven Therapie besteht in der Sicherstellung einer ausreichenden Oxygenierung. Die invasive Beatmung und wiederholte Bauchlagerung sind dabei wichtige Elemente in der Behandlung von schwer hypoxämischen COVID-19-Patienten. Die strikte Einhaltung der Basishygiene, einschließlich der Händehygiene, sowie das korrekte Tragen von adäquater persönlicher Schutzausrüstung sind im Umgang mit den Patienten unabdingbar. Medizinisch notwendige Handlungen am Patienten, die zur Aerosolbildung führen könnten, sollten mit äußerster Sorgfalt und Vorbereitung durchgeführt werden.

Knowledge about Factors Associated with Cervical Cancer in Women: A Cross Sectional Study, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Original Research Article Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the major NCDs around the world and is the second leading malignancy in terms of mortality and incident cases in Bangladesh. The high mortality rate was associated with a lack of awareness regarding cervical cancer. The study was conducted to find out the awareness levels of cervical cancer, its symptoms, risk factors, detection methods, and barriers faced in screening. The aim of the study was to assess knowledge on factors associated with Cervical Cancer in women in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over a 4-month time period with a sample size of 100. The study was conducted with only female subjects in Dhaka city, among the patients coming to the Genealogical Department of the NICRH. Result: Maximum patients were above 45 years in age. 60% of the patients had no proper education. The majority of the patients were using birth control pills, and only 30 never used any OCP. 60% of patients were aware of cervical cancer, 40 were unaware. 84 of the patients were passive smokers. More than half of the patients had no knowledge of symptoms of cervical cancer. In regards to risk factors of cervical cancer, 70% were not sure if HPV infection was a risk factor for cervical cancer. Conclusion: The study showed surprisingly little knowledge of cervical cancer, its symptoms, risk factors, and screening methods. Awareness was positively related to education level.
Differential associations between neocortical tau pathology and blood flow with cognitive deficits in early-onset vs late-onset Alzheimer's disease

Purpose. Early-onset Alzheimer' s disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer' s disease (LOAD) differ in neuropathological burden and type of cognitive deficits. Assessing tau pathology and relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measured with [18F]flortaucipir PET in relation to cognition may help explain these differences between EOAD and LOAD. Methods. Seventy-nine amyloid-positive individuals with a clinical diagnosis of AD (EOAD: n=35, age-at-PET=59{+/-}5, MMSE=23{+/-} 4; LOAD: n=44, age-at-PET=71{+/-}5, MMSE=23{+/-}4) underwent a 130 minutes dynamic [18F]flortaucipir PET scan and extensive neuropsychological assessment. We extracted binding potentials (BPND) and R1 (proxy of rCBF) from parametric images using receptor parametric mapping, in medial and lateral temporal, parietal, occipital and frontal regions-of-interest and used nine neuropsychological tests covering memory, attention, language and executive functioning. We first examined differences between EOAD and LOAD in BPND or R1 using ANOVA (region-of-interest analysis) and voxel-wise contrasts. Next, we performed linear regression models to test for potential interaction effects between age-at-onset and BPND/R1 on cognition. Results. Both region-of-interest and voxel-wise contrasts showed higher [18F]flortaucipir BPND values across all neocortical regions in EOAD. By contrast, LOAD patients had lower R1 values (indicative of more reduced rCBF) in medial temporal regions. For both tau and flow in lateral temporal, and occipito-parietal regions, associations with cognitive impairment were stronger in EOAD than in LOAD (EOAD BPND -0.76[≤]st{beta}[≤]-0.48 vs LOAD -0.18[≤]st{beta}[≤]-0.02; EOAD R1 0.37[≤]st{beta}[≤]0.84 vs LOAD -0.25[≤]st{beta}[≤]0.16). Conclusions. Compared to LOAD, the degree of lateral temporal and occipito-parietal tau pathology and relative cerebral blood-flow is more strongly associated with cognition in EOAD.
Fall 2021 Resurgence and COVID-19 Seroprevalence in Canada: Modelling waning and boosting COVID-19 immunity in Canada, A Canadian Immunization Research Network Study

There is a threat of COVID-19 resurgence in Fall 2021 in Canada. To understand the probability and severity of this threat, quantification of the level of immunity/protection of the population is required. We use an age-structured model including infection, vaccination and waning immunity to estimate the distribution of immunity to COVID-19 in the Canadian population. By late Summer 2021, coinciding with the end of the vaccination program, we estimate that 60 - 80% of the Canadian population will have some immunity to COVID-19. Model results show that this level of immunity is not sufficient to stave off a Fall 2021 resurgence. The timing and severity of a resurgence, however, varies in magnitude given multiple factors: relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, the rate of waning immunity, the transmissibility of variants of concern, and the protective characteristics of the vaccines against infection and severe disease. To prevent large-scale resurgence, booster vaccination and/or re-introduction of public health mitigation may be needed.
Structure and Behavior of Gasless Combustion Waves in Powders

ABSTRACT The method of simulation of the structure of powder mixture, which allows calculating the samples with a relative density from 15% up to practically close packing, is described. The 3D model of discrete combustion wave in powder mixture, which uses the actual structure of the sample, is considered. The parametric investigations of combustion of powder mixture in the wide range of relative density and particle ignition temperature are carried out. The model predicts the steady-state combustion, oscillating combustion, and extinction depending on the parameters of powder mixture. The results of the simulation are compared with experimental data.
Welding of thermally modified wood and thermal modification of the welded wood: Effects on the shear strength under climatic conditions

This work investigated how thermal modification affects the shear strength of welded joints under different climatic conditions. The order of the thermal modification, before or after the welding, was investigated for its effect on the shear strength of the welded wood. Two groups of thermally modified specimens were prepared in a laboratory kiln under controlled conditions, one thermally modified before welding and the other after welding of the specimens. The shear strength of the specimens were measured at four different moisture contents of 10%, 12%, 16%, and 18%, and the results for the two different approaches were compared. Moreover, observations of the X-ray computed tomography scanning and digital microscopy were used to study the density profile and the structural details of the welded joints. The results showed that thermal treatment of the wood either before or after welding had a negative influence on the shear strength, and the modes of failure of the joints in mechanical tests were in most cases brittle. In the weld interface of the wood modified before welding, a rigid material similar to charcoal was produced as a result of the further degradation of wood by welding pressure and frictional motion. Welding of wood before thermal modification, however, yielded thicker and more densified joints with less susceptibility to higher moisture variations than the joints obtained by welding the thermally modified wood.
Title Assessment of a Nano-Docetaxel Combined Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer Running Title Nano-Docetaxel Combination treatment Authors names and affiliations

Objective: The combination of docetaxel (DTX) with Laser-Activated NanoTherapy (LANT), as a treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) may enhance the therapeutic efficacy of lower doses of DTX, thereby minimizing the effective dosage, side effects and treatment times. Material and methods: Three HNSCC cell lines, Detroit 562, FaDu, and CAL 27, were treated with four combinations of DTX + LANT to evaluate DTX dose reduction and cell viability. Results: The 1 nM DTX + 5 nM LANT combination was the most effective treatment, increasing cell death over its corresponding DTX monotreatment with approximately 86.6%, 80.7%, and 92.1% cell death for Detroit 562, FaDu, and CAL 27, respectively. In Detroit 562, the 1 nM DTX + 5 nM LANT combination treatment resulted in the highest percentage of DTX dose reduction at 84.6%; in FaDu and CAL 27, the 0.5 nM DTX + 5 nM LANT combination treatment resulted in the highest percentage of DTX dose reduction at 78.2% and 82.4%, respectively. Conclusion: LANT may increase the therapeutic efficacy of DTX at significantly lower doses, which could improve patient outcomes.
Predicting mobile learning acceptance: An integrated model and empirical study based on the perceptions of higher education students

This research extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model based on the expectation-confirmation and self-determination theories. It is aimed at exploring students’ perspectives regarding the acceptance of mobile learning (m-learning) in higher education. Although UTAUT receives considerable attention in technology acceptance research, the present study is unlike previous work, in that it is among the first to integrate the self-determination and expectation-confirmation theories with this model to better understand m-learning adoption, particularly in developing countries. A total of 246 undergraduate students responded voluntarily to an online questionnaire. The resulting findings suggest that integrating the UTAUT model with variables that represent learners ‘ basic psychological needs can highly affect their acceptance of m-learning technology. These findings are discussed further for their theoretical and practical implications. Implications for practice or policy:
4 Implicit and Explicit SLA and Their Interface

Implicit and Explicit Language Learning and Knowledge Children acquire their first language (L1) by engaging with their caretakers in natural meaningful communication. From this “evidence” they automatically acquire complex knowledge of the structure of their language. Yet paradoxically they cannot describe this knowledge, the discovery of which forms the object of the disciplines of theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and child language acquisition. This is a difference between explicit and implicit knowledge—ask a young child how to form a plural and she says she does not know; ask her “here is a wug, here is another wug, what have you got? ” and she is able to reply, “two wugs. ” The acquisition of L1 grammar is implicit and is extracted from experience of usage rather than from explicit rules—simple exposure to normal linguistic input suffices, and no explicit instruction is needed. Adult acquisition of second language (L2) is a different matter in that what can be acquired implicitly from communicative contexts is typically quite limited in comparison to native speaker norms, and adult attainment of L2 accuracy usually requires additional resources of consciousness and explicit learning.

Centrorhynchus globocaudatus (Zeder, 1800) Lühe, 1911 (Centrorhynchidae) was reported in birds of prey. Our population from Falco tinnunculus Linnaeus (Falconidae) and Buteo buteo Linnaeus (Accipitridae) in northern Italy was morphologically distinct from others described elsewhere. The worms are elongate and cylindrical. Proboscis long, apically truncated and bare, with wider base and variably faint constriction at point of attachment of receptacle. Large anterior hooks well rooted; posterior spiniform hooks with reduced roots; transitional hooks with scutiform roots in-between. Four tubular cement glands extend into prominent ducts overlapping a large Saefftigen’s pouch. Bursa large, with sensory plates. Vagina with laterally slit orifice in sub-ventral pit of globular terminal extension. Thick-shelled eggs ovoid without polar prolongation of fertilization membrane. In our specimens, proboscis hooks, receptacle, male reproductive system, and lemnisci especially in males varied in size from those from Ukraine, India, Egypt, Kyrgystan, Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Asian Soviet Republics. Our description of the Italian specimens includes new morphological information supported by scanning electron microscopy and microscope images, molecular analysis and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) of hooks. Additional new details of proboscis hook roots, micropores and micropore distribution are described. Metal composition of hooks (EDXA) demonstrated high levels of calcium and phosphorous, and high levels of sulphur in core and cortical layers of eggs. The molecular profile based on sequences of 18S and cytochrome c oxidase 1 genes is also provided, as well as phylogenetic reconstructions including all available sequences of the family Centrorhynchidae, although further sequences are needed in order to clarify their phylogenetic relationships.
Best Practices for the Implementation of Home-based, Hands-on Lab Activities to Effectively Engage STEM Students During a Pandemic

The current COVID-19 pandemic has forced many colleges and universities to remain on a completely online or remote educational learning environment for the 2020 Spring and Fall semesters, however there is a growing concern in STEM fields about how students will be able to achieve one of the major ABET learning outcomes without conducting physical, hands on laboratory exercises as many STEM disciplines are switching to virtual laboratory;an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering/scientific judgment to draw conclusions. In addition to the limited achievement of the ABET outcomes, roughly half of the population of a historically black university communicated their anxieties during the pandemic to the University President via Change.org. The students' main anxiety is portrayed in a statement culled from the petition as follows: “Most classes are very hands-on, and we are not able to do those from home because of the limited resources available at home”. This paper highlights the best practices for the implementation of home-based hands-on activities across multiple STEM fields. The paper further elaborates on the impact of remote and virtual labs on students' attitude, interest, and performance in STEM over the home-based hands-on experimentation. Home-based hands-on laboratory activities were performed in biology, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, transportation system, and civil engineering. The results of a Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaires (MLSQ) survey that was administered to about 100 STEM students revealed better gains in key constructs associated with student success, such as motivation, critical thinking, and metacognition. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021
Effects of Bentonite Supplementation on Milk Yield, Milk Composition, Digestibility and Nutritive Values in Holstein Cows

The objective of this study was to determine effects of inclusion Bentonite in lactating dairy cows rations on milk yield, milk compositionas well as digestibility, nutritive values and blood urea, alkaline phosphatase, total protein, and liver enzymes. 72 Holstein Frisian cows weighed 650 ± 5kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (24 cows in each group) fed 3 rations as follows: ration 1 (control) without additives, ration 2 supplemented with 70 g Bentonite/cow/day, and ration 3 supplemented with 120 g Bentonite/cow/day. Experiment lasted for two months. Cows fed on TMR (Total Mixed Ration) which consisted of concentrate feed mixture, corn silage and clover hay. Milk production was recorded. Milk samples were taken, fat, protein and lactose percentages were estimated. Fresh feces samples were collected for five days and dried in oven at 65C for 24 hrs, then mixed and then representative samples were taken for chemical analysis. Bentonite added as 70g Bentonite/cow/day significantly (P<0.05) increased Organic Matter(OM), Crud Protein (CP), Crud Fiber (CF) and Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE) digestibility. Bentonite added as 120g/cow/day decreased (OM) digestibility. Milk yield, Fat Corrected Milk (FCM), fat, protein and lactose of lactating cows was increased by adding Bentonite as 70 g/cow/day. All values of blood urea, Alkaline phosphatase, AST and ALT enzymes in all groups in this study lied within the normal levels.
Agricultural Education and Migration: The Cases of El Salvador and Honduras

Youth is defined as a period of transition from childhood to adulthood that ranges between the ages of 15 and 24, and it is the most mobile social group in the world. Youth migration in El Salvador and Honduras is a well-known problem; however, limited research has focused on the causes of migration and the impact of agricultural education programs on the decision to migrate. This study aims to identify and compare students' migration intentions in agricultural and non-agricultural programs of two rural communities of El Salvador and Honduras. For this quantitative study, a twogroup model was used; the target population (N = 209) was composed of high school students with similar socioeconomic characteristics. Overall, the comparison between El Salvador and Honduras showed a significant difference between countries regarding their migration intentions (p < 0.05). Salvadorian students presented a stronger willingness to migrate. Moreover, students' intention of migration was evaluated based on their educational background. Youth who were not part of a formal agricultural program have a higher intention of migrating (p < 0.05). Finally, the main and interaction effects of intention to migrate, country of origin, and academic program based on the different migration drivers were analyzed.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, TRANSPARANCY AND STOCK RETURN SYNCHRONICITY

This study aims to analyze the effect of corporate governance on transparency as measured by stock return synchronicity. The variables used are board size (commissioner), big4 audit, institutional ownership, market to book, the volatility of firm fundamentals, leverage, and firm size. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear analysis models. This study uses a sample of non-financial business entities listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). The number of samples used in this study was 198 observations. The results showed that the variable board size (commissioner), institutional ownership, and leverage had a positive effect on transparency, and the implied volatility of the firm hurt transparency. Other variables such as big4 audit, market to book ratio, and firm size do not affect transparency.
