Published: January 2025

ZusammenfassungDie osteopathische Medizin hat den Anspruch, ganzheitlich zu arbeiten und
Menschen dauerhaft zu heilen. Trotzdem kommt es immer wieder vor, dass
Erkrankten nicht vollständig geholfen werden kann, obwohl die Dysfunktion(en)
sicher erfasst und die Behandlung nach allen Regeln der Kunst durchgeführt
wurden. In diesen Fällen ist es sinnvoll, nach Heilungshindernissen zu suchen.
Heilungshindernisse wurden bereits von Samuel Hahnemann als Lebensumstände oder
-gewohnheiten beschrieben, die einer dauerhaften Genesung im Weg stehen. Diese
können offensichtlich, wie allgemein bekannte Krankheitsursachen und
Risikofaktoren, oder versteckt sein, sodass sie primär übersehen werden können.
Dieser Artikel sensibilisiert für Heilungshindernisse, die für das
osteopathische Denken und Handeln relevant sind, und dafür, Behandlungsabläufe
und -strategien neu zu überdenken.

AbstractEndometriosis is a disease which affects the quality of life and fertility of many young women. Choosing the right time for surgery is important for the outcome of patients. We evaluated the surgical variables affecting postoperative pregnancy rates.This study is a retrospective analysis of women treated for endometriosis in Frankfurt University Hospital between 2007 and 2017. A total of 695 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery, of whom 125 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria of wanting to have a child for more than one year. Finally, 102 patients (82%) with surgery and infertility were followed up for 70 months.We found a cumulative pregnancy rate of 69.6% after 38 months in our patients. The duration of infertility before surgery had a significant effect on postoperative pregnancy rates. There was no significant difference between the different kinds of surgical techniques, but complete treatment of all visible lesions significantly increased the chance of pregnancy (hazard ratio 2.2). Repeated abdominal operations reduced the chance of postoperative pregnancy and prolonged the time to pregnancy.In patients with endometriosis and infertility, both laparoscopic surgery with complete resection of all visible lesions and the timing of surgery are important to achieve pregnancy. Early intervention with careful planning of the operation is critical. It is important to avoid repeated operations to achieve the best results regarding pregnancy.

AbstractBiliary cannulation via balloon-assisted-ERCP (BAE-ERCP) can be challenging. Patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) have among the lowest reported BAE-ERCP success rates when compared with other types of surgically altered anatomy. We explored the role of EUS-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV) as a rescue technique when BAE-ERCP fails.Consecutive patients with RYGB underwent BAE-ERCP for both benign and malignant indications. Among them, patients in whom BAE-ERCP failed despite use of conventional advanced biliary cannulation techniques underwent EUS-RV if the ampulla could be reached.Forty-three consecutive patients with RYGB underwent BAE-ERCP. The procedure was successful in 30 patients (69.7%). Among the 13 patients with failed ERCP, EUS-RV was performed in five. Technical success was achieved in all five patients (100%), thereby increasing the overall BAE-ERCP success to 35 patients (81.3%). There were no major procedure-related adverse events on immediate and 3-month follow-up. Average total procedure time for failed BAE-ERCP followed by EUS-RV was 129 minutes (range 47–205 minutes).EUS-RV in patients with RYGB has high technical and clinical success and can be a viable alternative to more invasive options when BAE-ERCP fails using traditional cannulation techniques.

AbstractCandy cane syndrome (CCS) refers to patients with a long and symptomatic blind afferent roux limb (BARL) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Revisional surgery is efficacious but can be cost prohibitive.We describe endoscopic blind limb reduction (EBLR), that converts the BARL into a “common channel” and eliminates food pooling, thereby improving symptoms. Patients that did not have a complete symptomatic response underwent a repeat EBLR or EBLR with septotomy (EBLR-S) based on residual BARL length.Five patients with CCS underwent the EBLR procedure. Mean age was 60.4 years, average BARL length 5.8 cm, and median Charlson comorbidity index was 3. Technical success was achieved in all five patients (100%). Symptom resolution was achieved in all five patients (100%). Two patients required a second procedure.EBLR may be a potentially safe, efficacious, and cost-effective alternative to surgery in patients with CCS. Further prospective studies are needed.

Context Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands is an introduced soil-borne pathogen that causes population decline in susceptible species and changes native vegetation compositions. Land managers require information about changing disease incidence, predisposing site factors and potential efficiencies in field identification of the disease. Previous sampling for P. cinnamomi in southern Sydney conservation reserves has provided a framework to monitor pathogen incidence. Aims We specifically asked: (1) Is the incidence of P. cinnamomi disease intensifying, decreasing or stable? (2) Is visual assessment of disease symptoms at the community or sentinel species level a good predictor of positive P. cinnamomi laboratory assays? (3) Is the incidence of P. cinnamomi related to access, vegetation type, human visitation or landscape position? Methods We assembled data from historic surveys in Dharawal Reserves in 2008 (n = 26) and 2014 (n = 110), and undertook additional surveys in 2022 (n = 110). We supplemented detections in 2008 with 2006–2008 records from other southern Sydney conservation reserves (n = 147). We used laboratory detection results, field observations of plant symptoms and environmental data to assess trends. Key results We did not find evidence of increased pathogen incidence over time; however, detection was spatially and temporally variable among sites. Proximity to waterways appeared to increase the likelihood of P. cinnamomi presence. We found differences between visual field assessment of disease expression and laboratory assay of pathogen detection. We observed marginal improvement in detection agreement when we subsetted the data to sites that explicitly identified Xanthorrhoea sp. as potential host species. A sample size analysis indicated that considerable increase in sampling effort would be required to detect consequential changes in the long-term P. cinnamomi status. Conclusions Landscape-scale monitoring of P. cinnamomi incidence requires greater sampling intensity and duration to support reliable inferences about trends. Locally focused management and monitoring efforts that consider susceptible sentinel species dynamics may inform the protection of specific assets at risk from infection by P. cinnamomi.

Abstract
BiCuSeO, a layered oxychalcogenide is a potential p-type thermoelectric material for mid-temperature waste heat recovery. In this work, BiCuSeO was synthesized by a facile two-step process of ball milling followed by a hot press densification technique. Efforts to increase the reaction speed and time led to preferential formation of a composite, in which the ferromagnetic metallic phase Bi2Cu(SeO3)4 was embedded in the BiCuSeO matrix. X-ray diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed the presence of secondary phase Bi2Cu(SeO3)4 in the matrix. Temperature-dependent vibrating-sample magnetometry showed an increasing trend of magnetic moment with temperature, revealing the ferromagnetic nature of Bi2Cu(SeO3)4. The decrease of electrical conductivity

with temperature confirms the degenerate semiconducting behaviour of the sample, with a high

σ

of 92.48 S cm−1 at 303 K. Meanwhile, deterioration of the Seebeck coefficient was negligible compared with pristine BiCuSeO due to the additional spin entropy effect confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance analysis with a g-factor value of 2.278. Consequently, the occurrence of a ferromagnetic metallic phase results in a high thermoelectric power factor of 493.73 μW m−1 K−2 at 303 K, which is 37% higher than that of pure BiCuSeO.

Abstract
The graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an important optoelectronic and photocatalytic material; however, its application is limited by the high recombination rate of the electron-hole (e––h+) pairs. In this work, we reported a novel strategy combining two-step annealing treatment and ionic-liquid (IL) gating technology for effectively regulating the properties of g-C3N4, especially largely reducing the recombination rate of the e––h+ pairs, which is evidenced by a remarkable reduction of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity. Firstly, g-C3N4 samples with typical layered structure were obtained by annealing melamine with temperature of 600 °C. Further annealing of the samples at 600 °C with much longer time (from 4 h to 12 h) were found to effectively reduce the imperfections or defects, and thus the PL intensity (49% reduction). This large reduction of PL intensity is attributed to the improved interconnection of triazine units, the shortened charge transfer diffusion distances, and the reduced interlayer spacing, which facilitate electron relocation on the g-C3N4 surface. Secondly, by post-treating the annealed sample with IL, the PL intensities were found to be further reduced, mainly due to the passivation of charged defect centers by IL. Additionally, applying an external electric field in an IL environment can significantly enhance the charged defect passivation. Overall, by utilizing electric field-controlled IL gating, defect states in g-C3N4 were passivated, leading to a significant reduction in PL intensity and an extension of PL lifetime, thereby effectively decreasing the e––h+ recombination rate in the material. This study demonstrates a new approach for defect passivation, providing insights and strategies for modulating properties of advanced materials such as g-C3N4.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective. Real-time cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides instantaneous visualization of patient anatomy for image guidance, motion tracking, and online treatment adaptation in radiotherapy. While many real-time imaging and motion tracking methods leveraged patient-specific prior information to alleviate under-sampling challenges and meet the temporal constraint (<500 ms), the prior information can be outdated and introduce biases, thus compromising the imaging and motion tracking accuracy. To address this challenge, we developed a framework dynamic reconstruction and motion estimation (DREME) for real-time CBCT imaging and motion estimation, without relying on patient-specific prior knowledge. Approach. DREME incorporates a deep learning-based real-time CBCT imaging and motion estimation method into a dynamic CBCT reconstruction framework. The reconstruction framework reconstructs a dynamic sequence of CBCTs in a data-driven manner from a standard pre-treatment scan, without requiring patient-specific prior knowledge. Meanwhile, a convolutional neural network-based motion encoder is jointly trained during the reconstruction to learn motion-related features relevant for real-time motion estimation, based on a single arbitrarily-angled x-ray projection. DREME was tested on digital phantom simulations and real patient studies. Main Results. DREME accurately solved 3D respiration-induced anatomical motion in real time (∼1.5 ms inference time for each x-ray projection). For the digital phantom studies, it achieved an average lung tumor center-of-mass localization error of 1.2 ± 0.9 mm (Mean ± SD). For the patient studies, it achieved a real-time tumor localization accuracy of 1.6 ± 1.6 mm in the projection domain. Significance. DREME achieves CBCT and volumetric motion estimation in real time from a single x-ray projection at arbitrary angles, paving the way for future clinical applications in intra-fractional motion management. In addition, it can be used for dose tracking and treatment assessment, when combined with real-time dose calculation.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of wearable physiology and movement sensors in identifying a spectrum of challenging behaviors, including self-injurious behavior (SIB), in children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in real-world settings. Approach: We utilized a long-short-term memory (LSTM) network with features derived using the wavelet scatter transform to analyze physiological biosignals, including electrodermal activity and skin temperature, alongside three-dimensional movement data captured via accelerometers. The study was conducted in naturalistic environments, focusing on participants' daily activities. Main results: Our findings indicate that the best performance in detecting challenging behaviors was achieved using movement data. The results showed a sensitivity of 0.62, specificity of 0.71, F1-score of 0.36, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.71. These results are particularly significant given the study's focus on real-world scenarios and the limited existing research in this area. Significance: This study demonstrates that using wearable technology to record physiological and movement signals can detect challenging behaviors in children with ASD in real-world settings. This methodology has the potential to greatly improve the management of these behaviors, thereby enhancing the quality of life for children with ASD and their caregivers. This approach marks a significant step forward in applying the outcome of ASD research in practical, everyday environments.

Abstract
This paper explores the impact of dark sources on the evolution of axially symmetric stellar structure. We consider an anisotropic, dissipative, shear-free and axial symmetric self-gravitating massive stellar structure with dark energy in modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We examine the energy source of the framework and derive the effective dynamical variables as well as structure scalar functions. Our findings demonstrate that the exotic energy serve as a cause of anisotropy and thermal dissipation. Moreover, the effects of shear-free axial evolution are also studied through governing equations and heat transfer equations. This study involves different self-gravitating fluid models, including dissipative non-geodesic and geodesic fluids. The non-geodesic dissipative condition gives that the rotational distribution is necessary and sufficient for a radiating model. The dissipation relies on inhomogeneous expansion. The geodesic model is determined to be non-radiating and irrotational. The non-dissipative geodesic fluid results in the FRW model for positive expansion parameter values.

Abstract
In the discipline of radiation shielding, doped glasses represent a particularly noteworthy category of candidate materials. Here the objective is to investigate the shielding characteristics of cerium-doped (Ce3+-doped) glasses with respect to charged particles, gamma rays, and neutrons. The glasses are composed of 100-x(SiO₂–B₂O₃–GdF₃)-xGd₂O₃–1CeF₃, where x is a variable ranging from 0 to 30 by labeled as G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 for x = 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 mol%, respectively. In this connection, the radiation protection properties are evaluated using PHITS Monte Carlo code and the Phy-X/PSD, ESTAR, SRIM and PAGEX codes over a large energy scale. The findings are compared in a comprehensive and comparative manner. It is observed that the shielding efficiencies for charged particles (proton, alpha and electron), gamma rays and neutrons are proportional to the cerium content. The glasses with a higher amount of gadolinium (Gd) present superior protective capabilities. It is asserted that the examined glasses could be employed as shielding materials in a multitude of applications related to radiation. Also, the glass density, the atomic distances between Gd-Gd and Gd-Ce and the analysis of bonding formation process of Ce3+-doped gadolinium borosilicate glass are investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) calculations based on extended density functional tight-binding method. The simulation findings and molecular orbital interactions are in good agreement with experimental results and the interaction of Gd-Gd and Gd-Ce bond within very short time even at the highest concentration of Gd2O3 (G5) offer to understand the glass scintillators (GS) and shielding properties for radiation applications.

Abstract
This research work describes the laminar flow of a 3D Maxwell nanofluid Electro Magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) Engine oil base fluid over an exponentially extending surface entrenched by the cobalt ferrite nanomaterial. Flow is promoted by thermal and solute stratification as well as non-Fourier heat flux perception. Cobalt ferrite nanomaterial have been discussed to scrutiny the flow patterns. Owing to narrow size distribution, consistent size, shape, the range of nanoparticles applications is rising rapidly and comprises Electronics, photodynamic therapy, therapeutic agent delivery, sensors, probes, catalysis, and diagnostics. This study also considers the effects of diffusion-thermo and thermo-diffusion. An appropriate transformation is applied to discretize the system of partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The Mathematica based Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is employed to explain these equations. Impact analysis on the temperature, concentration, and velocity profiles of an entrenched physical non-dimensional parameter are studied graphically and a comparative analysis is also argued with the existing literature. In this investigation, the Sherwood numbers, Nusselt number, and local friction coefficient are applied. The present work can also be viewed as a comprehensive effort covering several scientific and engineering disciplines. major conclusion of the study for E

Abstract
Halide perovskites as emerging functional material have widespread applications in solar cells, lasers, photodetectors and resistive switching memory due to their preeminent properties. All-inorganic halide perovskites CsPbBr3 have shown great potential to deliver high performance devices due to their excellent stability compared with organic–inorganic hybrid counterpart. Although many advances have been made in film quality and device performance, CsPbBr3 films still face the problems of forming other phase structures or using toxic antisolvents in the preparation process. Here, we introduced a hot-air-flowing assisted strategy to regulate nucleation and crystal during the CsPbBr3 films development process. The experimental results demonstrate that the CsPbBr3 films with pure phase and densely packed crystalline grains can be obtained at a hot-air-flowing temperature of 180 °C. Subsequently, the resulting ITO/CsPbBr3/Al device exhibit non-volatile and reproducible bipolar resistance switching behavior with decent endurance (100 cycles), retention time (104 s) and storage window (>103). The formation of conductive filaments and trap-controlled space-charge-limited-current (SCLC) conduction mechanism were employed to interpret the resistance switching behavior. Such a hot-air-flowing assisted strategy offers the antisolvent-free and low-cost preparation method of CsPbBr3 films for resistive switching memory.
