Dialog der Schulen: Ähnlichkeiten und Differenzen Podiumsdiskussion im Rahmen des Weltkongresses für Psychotherapie 1996
Authors: Butterfield-Meisel Christine , Hadinger Boglarka , Keil Wolfgang W. , Kurz Wolfram , De Mendelssohn Felix , Schmid Peter F. , Schwager-Scheinost Marianne
Published: December 2023

Bei diesem Gespräch, das wegen des enormen Publikumsinteresse in einem überfüllten Saal stattfand, kamen einzelne zentrale Bereiche der Psychotherapie und ihr Verständnis in der psychoanalytischen Psychotherapie, der Logotherapie und der Klienten-/Personzentrierten Therapie zur Sprache - darunter besonders die unter den Keywords genannten Themen. Selbstverständlich mußten in einem solchen Rahmen sowohl die Themen wie deren Behandlung fragmentarisch bleiben.
Wie bei solchen Gesprächen öfter, erwies es sich als schwierig, über den eigenen Jargon hinaus echte Verständigung über Inhalte zu erzielen. Nicht zuletzt war es dem Publikum zu danken, daß einzelne Themen systematischer behandelt wurden. Bei allen Differenzen, etwa hinsichtlich des Stellenwerts des Unbewußten, stellten sich eine Reihe von Ähnlichkeiten bzw. Gemeinsamkeiten heraus, besonders hinsichtlich der Bedeutung der Beziehung. Freilich zeigten sich gerade auch da noch gravierende Unterschiede, etwa im Selbstverständnis des Therapeuten bzw. der Therapeutin.
Paradoxes and Challenges Facing the Person Centered Approach
Authors: Holdstock T.Len
Published: December 2023

As we approach the 21st Century, major challenges await the Person-Centered (PC) approach if it is to continue in the pioneering spirit of Carl Rogers and remain true to being process oriented. One challenge relates to the resolution of the internal contradictions within the approach. Another relates to the ethnocentrism of the approach. Both challenges center on the concept of the self that underlies the PC approach. In terms of recent work in mainstream psychology and several other disciplines on the concept of the self, different models of the self seem to be entertained in PC therapy for the client and the therapist. The concept appropriate for optimal functioning of the client can be described as high on agency and independence (the separate self) and that for the therapist as high on agency and relatedness (the autonomous-relational self). Resolution of this discrepancy can not only resolve the internal contradictions within the approach, but allign the purpose of PC therapy with recent models of the concept of the self underlying mental health, as well as facilitate the approach to transcend its individuocentric cultural boundarie.
Wider die Beliebigkeit - spezifische Aspekte der Klientenzentrierten Psychotherapie
Authors: Pörtner Marlis
Published: December 2023

Die Klientenzentrierte Psychotherapie sieht sich oft dem Vorwurf der Verschwommenheit und Beliebigkeit ausgesetzt. Es erscheint deshalb sinnvoll, genauer darüber nachzudenken und zu verdeutlichen, was die Eigenart dieser Therapieform ausmacht. Neben der Grundhaltung des Therapeuten - Empathie, Wertschätzung und Kongruenz - gibt es einige weitere Aspekte, die spezifisch sind für die Klientenzentrierte Psychotherapie und die sowohl theoretische wie praktische Bedeutung haben:- Relativität der Werte- Der Weg ist ebenso wichtig wie das Ziel- Nicht der Inhalt steht im Mittelpunkt, sondern der Prozeß- Nicht die Defizite sind entscheidend, sondern die Ressourcen- Die kleinen Schritte- Das Wichtigste geschieht außerhalb der TherapiestundeDas Berücksichtigen dieser Aspekte trägt dazu bei, Klientenzentrierte Psychotherapie nicht als diffuses Heilsversprechen mißzuverstehen, sondern sie als das wahrzunehmen, was sie ist: ein Instrument, das Menschen ermöglicht, sich mit sich selbst, mit ihren Schwierigkeiten und mit ihrer Umwelt auseinanderzusetzen, bisher nicht bewußte Seiten ihrer Persönlichkeit wahrzunehmen, schlummernde Ressourcen und neue Handlungsspielräume zu entdecken, ihren eigenen Weg zu finden und Verantwortung für sich zu übernehmen.Aus diesen grundsätzlichen Überlegungen lassen sich keine Techniken ableiten, dennoch ergeben sich Konsequenzen für die Praxis. Das Wahrnehmen, Aufgreifen und Respektieren der beschriebenen Aspekte ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der therapeutischen Arbeit. Wie sich das konkret auswirkt, wird anhand von Beispielen erläutert.
The Person-Centred Ecopsychologist
Authors: Neville Bernie
Published: December 2023

Eco-psychology challenges the anthropocentric and egocentric assumptions in which most therapies are grounded. lt is argued that, while client-centred therapy conventionally focusses on the internal congruence of the individual, the congruence between person and planet also comes within its scope. Client-centredt herapy is able to deal not only with personal anxiety but with species anxiety, which is manifested in both personal and collective pathology. The primacy of the individual and the primacy of the planet must both be fully acknowledged if healing is to take place.
PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS IN CYBER SPACE AS DETERRENCE TOOLS. THE TRANS-ATLANTIC VIEW
Authors: COSTEA Ana Maria
Published: December 2023

Nowadays technological development has brought new threats and risks that states need to face in cyberspace. Given the multitude of actors, reasons, strategies, various types of attacks, the classical way of viewing the state as the sole security provider no longer functions. In this framework, private companies gain more and more competencies and responsibilities, especially in the areas of critical infrastructure. The present article explores the role of public-private partnerships in the national cybersecurity strategies of each NATO member state as tools of deterrence. The paper starts by analysing the concepts of deterrence and resilience. Secondly, it emphasizes the view of NATO regarding the topic, this aspect being followed by each of the 31 NATO member states’ most recent national cybersecurity strategies, highlighting the objectives, measures, and examples of PPPs that each state has in order to highlight the status-quo at empirical level.
Fencing on Instagram:

Published: December 2023

Instagram has impacted how athletes present themselves and communicate with their audiences without the need for mass media mediators, such as journalists. Hence, this study explores the opportunities for professional fencers to develop self-presentation and communication strategies on the platform. The methodological approach is based on netnography and content analysis, evaluating the top 10 fencers accounts (FIE). The findings point out how these athletes build their brand by increasing fan engagement and interaction through sharing training videos, competition photos, and personal stories, while also collaborating with sponsors and brands to open up business opportunities and revenue streams.

Scars of a Colonial History
Authors: Burr Marshall
Published: December 2023

Central to virtually any indictment of South African literature, its historiography, or otherwise culturally and politically influenced modes of representation persist themes of social, political, and racial inequality. That is not to say that all South African cultural productions revolve around a centrifuge of racially focused social commentary; rather, that when historicizing a work of South African aesthetics such themes inevitably arise because of the nation’s colonial history and the Eurocentrism that have pervaded its modern socio-political foundations. When examining South African aesthetic/cultural representations (in this case, a literary text) it is thus crucial to properly locate the work in as full a historical context as possible. My research therefore aims to link South Africa’s history of colonization with the damaged race relations that ensued in the twentieth century as represented in a prominent work of South African theater: Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold” … And the Boys. My essay traverses the history of British and Dutch colonization in South Africa and seeks therein to register foundations for the Eurocentric, whitewashed ideologies which would eventually translate into official state policy in 1948 and which precipitated the broken race relations that Fugard’s semi-autobiographical play interrogates. I discuss Fugard’s depiction of white privilege while systematically linking such representations back to their colonial foundations, and ultimately assess Fugard’s play as a condemnation of white supremacy and as a plea for the recalibration of prejudiced racial hierarchies.
Self-Fashioning and Ambiguities of Revolution in Austin Clarke's "Initiation"
Authors: Vyas Divyansh
Published: December 2023

This is a paper on Austin Clarke’s short story from his collection of short stories titled, In This City. The story can be seen as being a part of Diaspora Studies, Immigrant Literature and Black Studies. The paper critically scrutinizes the short story based on the text and the context to argue how there was an absence of sustainable structures in the public sphere for black immigrant masculinities to sufficiently express themselves in a white heteronormative culture. Sociological ideas of Toby Miller and Erving Goffman are used to understand how black immigrant identities could only sufficiently be expressed in alternate sub-structures that remained isolated from the dominant white and heteronormative status quo. The central subject of “white space” of the issue is highly relevant to the paper’s exploration of how the systems of self-fashioning and revolution that exist in the public imagination are “incomplete” in their lack of reliability and sufficiency for black immigrants in Canada. Hence, their position in relation to aspirations of self-fashioning and revolution is one of ambiguity as the title of the paper itself states.

 

The paper lays bare how these ambiguities are manufactured based on the chasm that exists between the ways in which the characters want to act and the ways of self-fashioning that society approves for them. It also explores how the systems of revolution are incomplete for them as there is an absence in terms of a revolutionary process that ensures stability and self-preservation.

Published: December 2023

Ecosystems have been affected by climate change. Both agriculture and environmental changes are correlated with various features since climate change is the main cause of abiotic and biotic stress, which affects crop plants. Climate change and its severe impact on plant productivity showed great intensity due to the effects of abiotic stress. In the present investigation, we selected two quinoa varieties to study the response to future climatic factors such as eCO2, enhanced UVB radiation, and UVB+eCO2 combined effects in open-top chambers in the hot climate of the UAE. The treatments were administered for 90 days in the hot UAE weather conditions and the experiment was carried out in a transparent OTC facility. The response of the studied quinoa varieties was measured by analyzing their non-enzymatic antioxidant and antioxidant enzyme activities. Our findings showed that quinoa varieties are suitable as industrial crops for their levels of antioxidants under stimulating climatic conditions because the quantity and quality of their yield have not been affected. Based on the results obtained in the present investigation, further study is warranted for screening more varieties with the addition of climate change factors such as temperature and humidity to find more tolerant varieties of quinoa suitable for future climatic conditions.

Published: December 2023

Background: Jaw resection in the forensic autopsy has a different purpose rather than the usual goals such as removal of the tumor, fracture repair or reducing osteomyelitis. However, the purpose of forensic autopsies is actually to identify the remains of victims who cannot be identified with fingerprints or DNA conventionally or by means of identifying unidentified victims. Objective: This study aims to review jaw resection techniques at autopsy. Method: Scoping review is carried out by analyzing secondary data in the form of journals published from 2008-2021. Results: There were five journals used in this study. The five journals show that the jaw resection procedure starts from an incision first and then a cut is made to the maxilla or mandible. Conclusion: Jaw resection at autopsy is needed for sufficient visibility. It is usually reserved for cases of severely rotting or burned body parts.

Nuevo examen a la inclinación o rechazo de Alemania por Pío Baroja
Authors: García de Juan Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2023

"German thinkers and researchers were very present in Pío Baroja’s scientific training and cultural interests. Thus, a strong inclination towards Germanism arose in him, which excluded the imperialist and military policies of that nation. During the Great War, Baroja remained consistent with his recognition of German science and culture in the face of what he considered to be a decadent France regarding those areas. This led him to be labelled by Spanish Francophiles as an outright Germanophile. When the Second World War broke out, his implacable criticism of militaristic and totalitarian Germany exposed his thinking very clearly. That is to say, reading his writings from that period, two of which are recovered here for the first time and included in an appendix, there is no doubt of his opposition to the furious belligerence of the German nation."

Published: December 2023

O Rio Xingu atravessa diversos territórios indígenas ao longo de seu curso, dentre os quais, estão um dos mais extensos e populosos no Brasil. Ali vive o povo Mebêngôkre (Kayapó), que fala a língua de mesmo nome, da família Jê, tronco Macro-Jê. Suas reservas ocupam áreas que abragem os estados do Mato Grosso e Pará. Entre elas está a TI Kayapó com mais de 30 escolas na região, mas os Mebêngôkre sofrem as pressões típicas de línguas minorizadas. Em 2019, a língua foi cooficializada em São Félix do Xingu (PA), mas esse fato ainda não modificou a contento a realidade linguística local. Para recolher e encaminhar as demandas dos Mebêngôkre quanto a seus direitos linguísticos, o Projeto de Extensão Ações de Combate ao Preconceito Linguístico (UFRJ), em parceria com o Departamento de Educação Escolar Indígena do município, criou a ação “Me kuni~ umari — em rede pelos direitos linguísticos”, da qual trata este relato de experiência.
Minimal Intervention of Patient Education for Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis
Authors: Gomes Luís A. , Rodrigues Ana M. , van der Windt Daniëlle , Pires Diogo , Afreixo Vera , Canhão Helena , Cruz Eduardo B.
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of minimal intervention of patient education (MIPE) for reducing disability and pain intensity in patients with low back pain (LBP).

DESIGN: Intervention systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched the MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases from inception to May 2023.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Trials comparing MIPE, consisting of a single session of patient education, to no or other interventions in patients with LBP.

DATA SYNTHESIS: Random effects meta-analysis was conducted where possible. A noninferiority margin of 5 points (0-100 scale) was considered for noninferiority hypotheses. We assessed risk of bias using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2), and certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.

RESULTS: A total of 21 trials were included. There were no differences between MIPE and no intervention for effects on disability and pain intensity. There was low-certainty evidence that MIPE had inferior effects on short-term disability (mean difference = 3.62; 95% CI: 0.85, 6.38; 15 trials; n = 3066; I2 = 75%) and pain intensity (mean difference = 9.43; 95% CI: 1.31, 17.56; 10 trials; n = 1394; I2 = 90%) than other interventions. No differences were found for subsequent time points.

CONCLUSION: As an intervention delivered in isolation, and without tailoring (ie, one-size-fits-all intervention), MIPE on average did not provide benefits for reducing disability and pain intensity over no or other interventions. We encourage clinicians to consider using additional/other or more tailored treatments when helping people manage LBP. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(2):107-119.

Barriers and Enablers to Using Intervention Reporting Guidelines in Sports and Exercise Medicine Trials: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Hansford Harrison J. , Cashin Aidan G. , Doyle Joseph , Leake Hayley B. , McAuley James H. , Jones Matthew D.
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE: To identify barriers and facilitators for using intervention reporting guidelines (CERT and TIDieR) from authors of randomized controlled trials in sports and exercise medicine journals.

DESIGN: Mixed-methods cross-sectional online survey.

METHODS: We recruited authors of randomized controlled trials published from June 2, 2018, to June 2, 2022, in the 10 leading sports and exercise medicine journals. We invited authors of eligible trials to complete an online survey that included multiple-choice and Likert-scale questions, as well as open-ended free-text questions on the barriers and facilitators to using intervention reporting guidelines. We used descriptive analysis to summarize the quantitative data and a hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis to identify barriers and facilitators from the qualitative data. We conducted a subgroup analysis to explore differences in barriers and facilitators between early-mid career researchers and senior researchers.

RESULTS: Eighty-four participants from 21 countries completed the survey (44 early-mid–career researchers, 40 senior researchers). We identified 8 themes relating to using intervention reporting guidelines. Themes classified as barriers related to publication constraints (word count limits), low awareness of intervention reporting guidelines, unclear benefits of the guidelines, and the increased burden imposed upon the researcher. Themes classified as facilitators related to journal requirements for guidelines use, the desire to accurately describe interventions, recommendations from other researchers, and reporting guideline use indicating “quality” of work.

CONCLUSION: Barriers to using intervention reporting guidelines are largely modifiable and could be addressed by journals mandating their use, and educational initiatives. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(2):142-152. Epub 16 November 2023. doi:10.2519/jospt.2023.12110
Confidentiality of Personal Data in Case of Cyberthreats
Authors: Zainutdinova E. V.
Published: December 2023

Despite the presence of the current legal regulation of personal data and their circulation on the Internet, Russia has recently become one of the leaders in personal data leaks. It turns out that the right to confidentiality and the right to protection of personal data are not implemented in the digital environment due to the susceptibility to cyberattacks and the lack of appropriate measures and guarantees in this field. The Russian legislator establishes the obligations of the operator of personal data, including the obligation of the operator to notify the authorized body of the leakage of personal data, as well as administrative, criminal and civil liability for their disclosure. However, there are no effective mechanisms that would prevent leaks and other disclosure of personal data in a preventive manner and would allow full compensation for the damage caused to individuals. The legal doctrine proposes to strengthen the penalties for violations in the field of personal data and specify the possibility of compensation for moral damage to a person who has suffered from a leak. The author’s approach is to provide for the need to check the operator’s activities for violations that led to the leakage of personal data (post-control), as well as to introduce a compliance system that allows preventive prevention of leakages and other violations in the field of personal data (a priori control), and train employees to minimize the risks of disclosure and other illegal use of personal data.
Apendicite aguda na gestação
Authors: Silva Paula Muntaz do Valle , Lima Ramon Fraga de Souza
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Descrever as evidências científicas disponíveis na literatura atual acerca da apendicite aguda gestacional. Revisão bibliográfica: A apendicite aguda é a causa mais comum de abdome agudo não obstétrico durante a gestação. Sua ocorrência é em torno de 1:1500 gestações, e essa taxa de incidência é análoga à da incidência em mulheres não grávidas da mesma idade. Os sintomas são compatíveis com a gravidez normal, assim como a dor abdominal, náuseas, vômitos e leucocitose leve. O diagnóstico é essencialmente clínico e as laparotomias para apendicite aguda no período gestacional ocorrem em 25 a 50% dos casos, comparada a 15 a 35% na população não gestante. Entretanto, a operação tardia é um dos principais preditores de desfecho desfavorável, tal como a morte fetal ocorrendo em 1,5 a 4% dos casos não complicados e em 20 a 35% dos casos de apendice perfurado. Considerações finais: Diante o exposto, é de suma importância o estudo e conhecimento sobre a apendicite aguda gestacional, a fim de promover educação permanente, disseminando informações acerca do diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado, visando a redução de riscos e agravos a saúde do binômio mãe-feto.

We discovered that the immune response to a common virus called Epstein-Barr virus may be linked to multiple sclerosis by cross-reacting with a protein in the body called alpha-crystallin B . People who reacted to this protein were more likely to develop the disease, and this finding is a step forward in our understanding of how this common virus may cause disease in some people.
Clinical pharmacy experiential education and training: A White Paper on preceptor development
Authors: Nwizu Ucheoma , Malhotra Jodie , Ndefo Uche , Moye Pamela , Nwaesei Angela Shogbon , Chinwuba Heidi , Atanda Adenike
Published: December 2023

Pharmacist’s responsibility has grown with increased clinical pharmacy education and practice in the experiential training curriculum. This transition necessitates acquiring advanced clinical skills and experiential training by pharmacists and pharmacy educators. An experiential curriculum should complement the didactic curriculum and align with the overall program goals of the school of pharmacy. When developing an experiential curriculum, vital phases must be addressed including analysis, design, practice site development, identifying preceptors, and implementation. The analysis phase of rotation development collects and evaluates data regarding the student, preceptor, and practice site. The design phase is the nucleus or central coordinating function that assures the alignment and coordination of learning objectives, activities, and evaluations. Next, developing pharmacy practice sites that are designed to create opportunities for students to gain practice experiences commensurate with the expectations of the curriculum set forth by the pharmacy program is essential. There also needs to be a detailed and ongoing process instituted to ensure the selection and development of qualified practitioners/preceptors. Lastly and most importantly, the implementation phase is where the actual training delivery occurs. During this period, all the tools and materials for the rotation are gathered, and the procedure for training both preceptors and students is delivered and refined. There also needs to be detailed and prompt feedback on performance paired with opportunities to put this feedback into practice. A well-defined experiential curriculum including the prerequisites for practice sites and preceptors should be available at pharmacy schools.
The expanding role of gene-based prescribing for phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes

Published: December 2023

Clinical pharmacogenomics has expanded rapidly with the ability to translate evidence from basic science findings into actionable decisions guiding pharmacotherapy in – various disease states. Most findings with potential clinical relevance have been in drug-metabolizing enzymes where variation could cause interindividual differences in response and efficacy. Conventionally, these metabolizing enzymes are classified as Phase I and Phase II enzymes. Although Phase II enzymes are responsible for the metabolism of many drugs, research has focused more on variation in Phase I enzymes. Our aim in this review was to discuss from a historical to present context, the research on key variants in major Phase II enzymes and to summarize clinical pharmacogenetic association studies that could help guide future translation into practice. We evaluated pivotal articles in PubMed (1980–2022) on human pharmacogenomic studies (preclinical and clinical) of N-acetyltransferases (NATs), methyltransferases, glutathione transferases, sulfotransferases, and glucuronosyltransferases for the evidence of clinical applicability and utility. Of the 5 Phase II enzyme superfamilies reviewed, there is presently evidence to support clinical utility for gene-based prescribing for two of them. A third family (NATs) is evaluated as having strong likelihood for future utility in the pharmacological treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-associated opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, and endemic diseases.

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 profoundly impacted healthcare worldwide, and Peru was particularly affected, experiencing the highest COVID-19 case fatality rate globally.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective comparative study of patients presenting with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) at a public Peruvian national referral center specializing in cerebrovascular diseases. Two study periods were considered, one during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and a second identical period in 2019. Variables included patient demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 infection status, clinical presentation, treatment approaches, and hospital outcomes.

Results:

We analyzed 114 patients with aneurysmal SAH, 65 (57.0%) treated in 2019 and 49 (43.0%) in 2020. The mean time from emergency admission to the day of definitive treatment during 2019 and 2020 was 2.72 and 1.93 days, respectively. Likewise, the mean time from symptom onset to the date of definitive treatment was 6.71 and 7.70 days, respectively. We identified significant associations between complications such as sepsis, respiratory failure, acute kidney failure, and hospital mortality. The proportion of fatalities was significantly higher in 2020 compared to 2019 (36.7% vs. 15.4%, respectively). Interestingly, there was no statistically significant association between COVID-19 infection status and mortality during the 2020 period.

Conclusion:

Patients with aneurysmal SAH treated during the pandemic had a higher proportion of sepsis, respiratory failure, acute kidney failure, and mortality compared to the pre-pandemic period. Reallocating healthcare resources to prioritize COVID-19 patients may have inadvertently neglected or delayed care for patients with other emergency conditions, such as aneurysmal SAH. This highlights the importance of maintaining adequate care for non-infectious emergencies during a pandemic.

Background:

The main objectives of this paper are to outline the essential tools, instruments, and equipment needed to set up a functional microsurgery laboratory that is affordable for low-income hospitals and to identify cost-effective alternatives for acquiring microsurgical equipment, such as refurbished or donated instruments, collaborating with medical device manufacturers for discounted rates, or exploring local suppliers.

Methods:

Step-by-step instructions were provided on setting up the microsurgery laboratory, including recommendations for the layout, ergonomic considerations, lighting, and sterilization processes while ensuring cost-effectiveness, as well as comprehensive training protocols and a curriculum specifically tailored to enhance microsurgical skills in neurosurgery residents.

Results:

We explored cost-effective options for obtaining microsurgery simulators and utilizing open-source or low-cost virtual training platforms. We also included guidelines for regular equipment maintenance, instrument sterilization, and establishing protocols for infection control to ensure a safe and hygienic learning environment. To foster collaboration between low-income hospitals and external organizations or institutions that can provide support, resources, or mentorship, this paper shows strategies for networking, knowledge exchange, and establishing partnerships to enhance microsurgical training opportunities further. We evaluated the impact and effectiveness of the low-cost microsurgery laboratory by assessing the impact and effectiveness of the established microsurgery laboratory in improving the microsurgical skills of neurosurgery residents. About microsutures and microanastomosis, after three weeks of training, residents showed improvement in “surgical time” for ten separate simple stitches (30.06 vs. 8.65 min) and ten continuous single stitches (19.84 vs. 6.51 min). Similarly, there was an increase in the “good quality” of the stitches and the suture pattern from 36.36% to 63.63%.

Conclusion:

By achieving these objectives, this guide aims to empower low-income hospitals and neurosurgery residents with the necessary resources and knowledge to establish and operate an affordable microsurgery laboratory, ultimately enhancing the quality of microsurgical training and patient care in low-income countries.

Published: December 2023

Despite its importance to multiple scientific fields and industries, the freezing process of aqueous solutions is not yet completely understood. In particular, the relationship between temperature gradients within a solution and the occurrence of stochastic ice nucleation remains elusive. To address this knowledge gap, we have derived a novel stochastic spatial freezing model from first principles. The model predicts with quantitative accuracy how temperature gradients affect the stochastic ice nucleation of sucrose solutions in vials. This motivated a detailed study of the freezing-stage in freeze-drying. In particular, the model enabled a mechanistic assessment of vacuum-induced surface freezing, an emerging approach towards optimized freeze-drying processes. Model predictions revealed both the stochastic nature of this freezing method, and its performance limitations in case highly concentrated solutions are frozen. To ensure that both researchers and practitioners benefit from this modeling work, we provide open source access to it within our python package ethz-snow.
How Do Differences in Electronic Structure Affect the Use of Vanadium Intermediates as Mimics in Non-heme Iron Hydroxylases?

Published: December 2023

Vanadyl species are frequently employed as structural mimics of the fleeting Fe(IV)=O intermediate in C–H hydroxylation carried out by non-heme iron hydroxylases. We study active site models of non-heme iron hydroxylases and their vanadium-based mimics using density functional theory to determine if vanadyl is a faithful structural mimic. We identify crucial structural and energetic differences between ferryl and vanadyl isomers owing to the differences in their ground electronic states, i.e., high-spin (HS) for Fe and low-spin (LS) for V. For the succinate cofactor bound to the ferryl intermediate, we predict facile interconversion between monodentate and bidentate coordination isomers for ferryl species but difficult rearrangement for vanadyl mimics. We study isomerization of the oxo intermediate between axial and equatorial positions and find the ferryl potential energy surface to be characterized by a large barrier of ca. 10 kcal/mol that is completely absent for the vanadyl mimic. This analysis reveals even starker contrasts between Fe and V in hydroxylases than have been observed for this metal substitution in non-heme halogenases. Analysis of the relative bond strengths of coordinating carboxylate ligands for Fe and V reveals that all the ligands show stronger binding to V than Fe owing to the LS ground state of V in contrast to the HS ground state of Fe. Overall, the differences in structures, isomer energies, and isomerization energy landscapes between Fe and V highlight the limitations of vanadyl mimics of native non-heme iron hydroxylases.
