description: Es mutet an wie die Quadratur des Kreises: Spürbar bessere Anreize zu setzen, den Bezug von Bürgergeld zu verlassen, ohne zugleich die Kosten dafür völlig aus dem Ruder laufen zu lassen. Einen möglichen Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma böte eine finanzielle Anschubhilfe, wenn Erwerbseinkommen ausgeweitet wird. Dafür gibt es verschiedene Varianten, etwa über die Einkommensanrechnung.

Distribution: ANG, CAM, COM, DOC, GHA, RCA, RCI, SLN.
Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) CAB.
Historic records:
— Cabinda (CAB) (Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Ceratorrhina torquata Drury);
— Angola (without locality) (Ruter 1967a).
Material examined: none.
Remarks. The species is polytypic with two to four subspecies recognized, depending of the authors (see Marais & Holm 1992; Krajcik 2008a; Beinhundner 2017a; Schoolmeesters 2018). It was recorded for CAB, the northernmost Province of Angola (Paulino de Oliveira 1882). This species has been used in insect flight studies like remote radio control or the role of the stretched forelegs in flight (Sato et al. 2009; Li et al. (2017).

description: Genus Pedinorrhina Kraatz, 1880
The genus was revised by Holm (1994). However, there are some controversies on this taxon. It was treated as a synonymy of Plaesiorrhinella Krikken by Holm & Marais (1992). Later on, Holm (1994) recognized Pedinorrhina and Holm & Stobbia (1995) provided an addenda and corrigenda for the Holm & Marais (1992) publication, given the replacement of Plaesiorrhinella by Pedinorrhina. Antoine (2008) and Krajcik (2008a) recognized also this genus (see also our remarks under the genus Chondrorrhina). Beinhundner (2017a) listed seven valid species. Three of them were reported for Angola (Antoine 2008).

Material examined: none.
Remarks. Seven subspecies are recognized in the species (Beinhundner 2017a).This subspecies was originally described from Angola, but curiously Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) does not include Angola in its distribution. Krajcik (2008a) treated it as a synonym of Mecynorhina (Megalorrhina) harrisi Westwood, 1847, but both De Palma & Frantz (2010) and Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) regard it as a valid taxon. The larva of the third instar of nominal subspecies was described by Šípek (2005). Ecological data were provided by De Palma & Frantz (2010).

description: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of bilateral renal cysts which enlarge continuously, leading to compression of adjacent intact nephrons. The growing cysts lead to a progressive decline in renal function. Cyst growth is driven by enhanced cell proliferation and chloride secretion into the cyst lumen. Chloride secretion is believed to occur mainly by the cAMP-activated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), with some contribution by the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A. However, our previous work suggested TMEM16A as a major factor for renal cyst formation. The contribution of CFTR to cyst formation has never been demonstrated in an adult ADPKD mouse model. We used mice with an inducible tubule-specific Pkd1 knockout, which consistently develop polycystic kidneys upon deletion of Pkd1. Cellular properties, ion currents, and cyst development in these mice were compared with that of mice carrying a co-deletion of Pkd1 and Cftr. Knockout of Cftr did not reveal any significant impact on cyst formation in the ADPKD mouse model. Furthermore, knockout of Cftr did not attenuate the largely augmented cell proliferation observed in Pkd1 knockout kidneys. Patch clamp analysis on primary renal epithelial cells lacking expression of Pkd1 indicated an only marginal contribution of CFTR to whole cell Cl- currents, which were clearly dominated by calcium-activated TMEM16A currents. In conclusion, CFTR does not essentially contribute to renal cyst formation in mice caused by deletion of Pkd1. Enhanced cell proliferation and chloride secretion is caused primarily by upregulation of the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A.

description: Chlorobenzenes are important starting materials for the preparation of commercially valuable triarylphosphines and tetraarylphosphonium salts, but their use for the direct arylation of elemental phosphorus has been elusive. Here we describe a simple photochemical route toward such products. UV-LED irradiation (365 nm) of chlorobenzenes, white phosphorus (P-4) and the organic superphotoreductant tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) affords the desired arylphosphorus compounds in a single reaction step.

description: Background
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the treatment option for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). OLT is often associated with high blood loss, requiring blood transfusion. Retransfusion of autologous blood is a key part of blood conservation. There are, however, concerns that the retransfusion of salvaged blood might cause the spread of cancer cells and induce metastasis. Irradiation of salvaged blood before retransfusion eliminates viable cancer cells. Here, we analyzed the incidence of tumor recurrence in patients with HCC undergoing OLT who received irradiated cell-salvaged blood during transplant surgery.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing OLT for HCC between 2002 and 2018 at our center. We compared the tumour recurrence in patients who received no retransfusion of autologous blood with patients who received autologous blood with or without preceding irradiation of the blood.

Results
Fifty-one (40 male, 11 female) patients were included in the analysis; 10 patients developed tumor recurrence within a time period of 2.45 ± 2.0 years. Statistical analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in tumor recurrence between patients who received autologous blood with or without irradiation.

Conclusion
Intraoperative transfusion of cell-salvaged blood did not increase tumor recurrence rates. Cell salvage should be used in liver transplantation of HCC patients as part of a blood conservation strategy. The effect of blood irradiation on tumor recurrence could not be definitively evaluated.

description: Objectives: Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) play a pivotal role in the bone marrow (BM) niche. Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) secreted by MSC has been demonstrated to promote the survival of neoplastic cells and was suggested a marker for minimal residual disease of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therefore, we evaluated the expression of STC1 in MSC from AML patients (MSCAML) compared to MSC from healthy donors (MSCHD). Methods: Liquid culture assays of MSCAML and MSCHD were performed to compare expansion capacity. Gene expression profiles of MSCAML vs. MSCHD were established. Secretion of STC1 was tested by ELISA in MSCAML vs. MSCHD and expression of STC1 in AML- vs. HD-BM by immunohistochemistry. In addition, co-cultures of AML cells on MSC were initiated and ultrastructural intercellular communication patterns were investigated. Finally, the effect of blocking STC1 on AML cells was evaluated. Results: MSCAML showed significant decreased expansion capacity compared to MSCHD. Gene analysis revealed marked overexpression of STC1 in MSCAML. ELISA and immunohistochemical findings confirmed this observation. Electron microscopy analysis showed reciprocal stimulation between AML cells and MSC. Blockade of STC1 did not significantly affect AML cell proliferation and apoptosis. Discussion: Characteristics of MSC differ depending on whether they originate from AML patients or from HD. STC1 was mostly overexpressed in MSCAML compared to MSCHD. In vitro blockade of STC1, however, was not associated with AML cell proliferation and apoptosis. Conclusion: Differences in expression levels of glycoproteins from MSCAML compared to MSCHD not necessarily assume that these molecules are niche-relevant in leukemic disease.

description: Recent reports provide evidence that contaminated healthcare environments represent major sources for the acquisition and transmission of pathogens. Antimicrobial coatings (AMC) may permanently and autonomously reduce the contamination of such environmental surfaces complementing standard hygiene procedures. This review provides an overview of the current status of AMC and the demands to enable a rational application of AMC in health care settings. Firstly, a suitable laboratory test norm is required that adequately quantifies the efficacy of AMC. In particular, the frequently used wet testing (e.g. ISO 22196) must be replaced by testing under realistic, dry surface conditions. Secondly, field studies should be mandatory to provide evidence for antimicrobial efficacy under real-life conditions. The antimicrobial efficacy should be correlated to the rate of nosocomial transmission at least. Thirdly, the respective AMC technology should not add additional bacterial resistance development induced by the biocidal agents and co- or cross-resistance with antibiotic substances. Lastly, the biocidal substances used in AMC should be safe for humans and the environment. These measures should help to achieve a broader acceptance for AMC in healthcare settings and beyond. Technologies like the photodynamic approach already fulfil most of these AMC requirements.

The genus was revised by Allard (1991) who validated two species (S. lateralis Kolbe, 1892 and S. similis Moser, 1902) that were not recognized by the subsequent authors (e.g. Holm & Marais 1992; Krajcik 2008a). The genus is considered monotypic and the single species was recorded for Angola (Lansberge 1886; Ferreira 1965).

description: Objectives To determine the clinical performance of partial ceramic crowns (PCCs) luted with a conventional resin cement combined with a universal adhesive without or with selective enamel etching or luted with a self-adhesive resin cement. Methods In a split-mouth design, each three CAD/CAM-PCCs (Vita Mark II, Cerec) were placed in 50 patients. Two PCCs were luted with a conventional resin cement (RelyX Ultimate) combined with a universal adhesive (Scotchbond Universal) without (SB-E) or with (SB+E) selective enamel etching. The third PCC was luted with a self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX Unicem 2; RXU). Chi-square tests (alpha <= 0.05) were applied. Based on clinical failures (complete debonding or need for replacement of the restorations), Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. Results 31 patients were evaluated clinically using FDI criteria at 39 months. Clinically acceptable results were detected over time, except for "fracture of material and retention" (inacceptable fractures and debondings). Within materials, statistically significant differences (p <= 0.003) between baseline and 39 months were found for "marginal adaptation" and "marginal staining". At 39-month, SB+E and SB-E showed significantly better results compared to RXU in "marginal adaptation"(p <= 0.021) and "marginal staining"(p <= 0.013). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher survival rates after 39 months for SB+E (96%) and SB-E (88%) compared to RXU (69%) with statistically significant differences between RXU vs. SB-E = 0.022) and RXU vs. SB+E < 0.001). Conclusions After 39-months, PCCs luted with the self-adhesive resin cement exhibited a statistically significant inferior survival rate compared to restorations luted with the conventional resin cement combined with a universal adhesive without or with selective enamel etching. Clinical significance Currently, self-adhesive resin cements cannot be recommended for luting partial ceramic crowns. However, the standard adhesive luting procedure comprising a universal adhesive and luting composite yielded good clinical results for more than 3 years irrespectively of application of a selective enamel etching step.

description:
This thesis explores the integration of Meshnet models with distributed learning techniques to enhance MRI brain scan analysis, with a focus on optimizing brain tissue segmentation while maintaining secure distributed systems. Through refining Meshnet's architecture and training strategies, the goal is to enhance accuracy in identifying brain segmentations. Distributed learning strategies, particularly centralized aggregation, are investigated to enable collaborative model training while ensuring data privacy. Additionally, Coinstac is integrated for secure gradient aggregation from diverse nodes, facilitating collaborative analysis without compromising confidentiality. Implementation of a serverless architecture using public clouds extends global accessibility while upholding robust security measures. The primary aim is to empower professionals with advanced tools for collaborative research.

description: AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic reliability of a new generation wireless point-of care ultrasound device for abdominal and thoracic findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 40 patients (16 females, 24 males 19 - 80 years, on average 56.1 years) were scanned by an experienced examiner using the new wireless Vscan Air device for abdominal and thoracic findings. The probe frequencies were 2-5 MHz (convex probe) and 3-12 MHz for the linear probe. As a reference standard, all patients were also examined using high-end ultrasound (LOGIQ E9/LOGIQ E10). Results were interpreted independently by two examiners in consensus, also with regard to the image quality (0-4, from not assessable = 0, to excellent 4). RESULTS: In all 40 patients (100%) examination with conventional high-end ultrasound and the Vscan Air ultrasound device was feasible. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of abdominal and thoracic findings were 63.3%, 100%, 100%, and 40%, respectively. Most main diagnostic findings were detected using the mobile device compared to the high-end ultrasound. Limitations were found regarding characterization and classification of hepatic and renal tumorous lesions. Image quality revealed mostly minor diagnostic limitations for the mobile device, mean 2.9 (SD +/- 0.300) and was excellent or with only minor diagnostic limitations for conventional high-end ultrasound, mean 3.25 (SD +/- 0.438). CONCLUSION: Due to its easy application and its high diagnostic reliability, point-of-care ultrasound systems of the latest generation represent a valuable imaging method for the primary assessment of abdominal and thoracic findings, especially in patients on intensive care units or in emergency situations.
