description: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) are aggressive sarcomas that develop in about 10% of patients with the genetic disease neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Molecular alterations contributing to MPNST formation have only partially been resolved. Here we examined the role of Pten, a key regulator of the Pi3k/Akt/mTOR pathway, in human MPNST and benign neurofibromas. Immunohistochemistry showed that Pten expression was significantly lower in MPNST (n = 16) than in neurofibromas (n = 16) and normal nervous tissue. To elucidate potential mechanisms for Pten downregulation or Akt/mTOR activation in MPNST we performed further experiments. Mutation analysis revealed absence of somatic mutations in PTEN (n = 31) and PIK3CA (n = 38). However, we found frequent PTEN promotor methylation in primary MPNST (11/26) and MPNST cell lines (7/8) but not in benign nerve sheath tumours. PTEN methylation was significantly associated with early metastasis. Moreover, we detected an inverse correlation of Pten-regulating miR-21 and Pten protein levels in MPNST cell lines. The examination of NF12/2 and NF1+/+Schwann cells and fibroblasts showed that Pten expression is not regulated by NF1. To determine the significance of Pten status for treatment with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin we treated 5 MPNST cell lines with rapamycin. All cell lines were sensitive to rapamycin without a significant correlation to Pten levels. When rapamycin was combined with simvastatin a synergistic anti-proliferative effect was achieved. Taken together we show frequent loss/reduction of Pten expression in MPNST and provide evidence for the involvement of multiple Pten regulating mechanisms.

description: Urban rats present a global public health concern as they are considered a reservoir and vector of zoonotic pathogens, including Escherichia coli. In view of the increasing emergence of antimicrobial resistant E. coli strains and the on-going discussion about environmental reservoirs, we intended to analyse whether urban rats might be a potential source of putatively zoonotic E. coli combining resistance and virulence. For that, we took fecal samples from 87 brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) and tested at least three E. coli colonies from each animal. Thirty two of these E. coli strains were pre-selected from a total of 211 non-duplicate isolates based on their phenotypic resistance to at least three antimicrobial classes, thus fulfilling the definition of multiresistance. As determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), these 32 strains belonged to 24 different sequence types (STs), indicating a high phylogenetic diversity. We identified STs, which frequently occur among extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), such as STs 95, 131, 70, 428, and 127. Also, the detection of a number of typical virulence genes confirmed that the rats tested carried ExPEC-like strains. In particular, the finding of an Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strain which belongs to a highly virulent, so far mainly human- and avian-restricted ExPEC lineage (ST95), which expresses a serogroup linked with invasive strains (O18:NM:K1), and finally, which produces an ESBL-type frequently identified among human strains (CTX-M-9), pointed towards the important role, urban rats might play in the transmission of multiresistant and virulent E. coli strains. Indeed, using a chicken infection model, this strain showed a high in vivo pathogenicity. Imagining the high numbers of urban rats living worldwide, the way to the transmission of putatively zoonotic, multiresistant, and virulent strains might not be far ahead. The unforeseeable consequences of such an emerging public health threat need careful consideration in the future.

description: In lieu of an abstract, here is the beginning of the article: After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of communism in the former Soviet bloc, the concept of utopia was blighted with the stigma of Stalinist totalitarianism. Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin’s despotism at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party in 1956 revealed the Stalinist-communist utopia to be a brutal experiment in institutionality and caused many thinkers and writers on the Left to withdraw their support, as manifested by a sharp rise in dystopian and anti-utopian fiction and commentary. The ensuing identification of utopia as synonymous with State totalitarianism – the dangerous ‘grand narrative’ of a programmatic and enforced approach to social organisation – was further bolstered with the rise of multiculturalism and identity politics, and their accompanying discourses of pluralism, fragmentation and social heterogeneity.

description: It is widely accepted that the (now reversed) Bush administration’s decision to restrict federal funding for human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research to a few “eligible” hESC lines is responsible for the sustained preferential use of a small subset of hESC lines (principally the H1 and H9 lines) in basic and preclinical research. Yet, international hESC usage patterns, in both permissive and restrictive political environments, do not correlate with a specific type of stem cell policy. Here we conducted a descriptive analysis of hESC line usage and compared the ability of policy-driven processes and collaborative processes inherent to biomedical research to recapitulate global hESC usage patterns. We find that current global hESC usage can be modelled as a cumulative advantage process, independent of restrictive or permissive policy influence, suggesting a primarily innovation-driven (rather than policy-driven) mechanism underlying human pluripotent stem cell usage in preclinical research.

description: The detection of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) is extremely challenging due to their high toxicity and the multiple BoNT variants. To date, seven serotypes with more than 30 subtypes have been described, and even more subtypes are expected to be discovered. The fact that the BoNT molecules are released as large complexes of different size and composition adds further complexity to the issue. Currently, in the diagnostics of botulism, the mouse bioassay (MBA) is still considered as gold standard for the detection of BoNT in complex sample materials. Over the years, different functional, immunological, and spectrometric assays or combinations thereof have been developed, supplemented by DNA-based assays for the detection of the organism. In this review, advantages and limitations of the current technologies will be discussed, highlighting some of the intricacies of real sample analysis.
Verstehen/ Einfühlen in Arabian Sands (1959): Wilfred Thesiger as Traveler and Anthropologist

description: Using Geertz’s Verstehen/ Einfühlen distinction, this essay begins with an overview of the travel writing and anthropological work about Oman, concentrating on the southern region of Dhofar. The author then situates Wilfred Thesiger’s classic Arabian Sands (1959) within these two genres as an example of a writer who is able to show understanding for and empathy with his Bedu traveling companions. Thesiger’s Verstehen is demonstrated through comparing the details he gives of Bedu culture with current manifestations. His Einfühlen is shown through his over-arching concern for his companions and his respectful descriptions of their life, avoiding the typical Victorian condescension towards “natives” and the self-absorbed gushing of many modern travel writers. Using seven years of experience studying the culture of southern Oman, the author argues that Thesiger’s writing shows a rare combination of accuracy and empathy which elevates his book to a model of both anthropological and travel writing.

description: Im vorliegenden Beitrag wurden Zusammenhänge zwischen einer bestehenden Asthmaerkrankung und möglichen diesbezüglichen Einflussfaktoren auf der Datenbasis der „Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland“ (KiGGS) untersucht. In dieser bundesweiten Querschnittstudie wurden zwischen 2003 und 2006 17.641 null- bis 17-jährige Kinder und Jugendliche untersucht. Die Datenerfassung umfasste eine ärztliche Untersuchung des Kindes, ein Interview der Eltern und schriftliche Fragebögen. Neben Prävalenzschätzungen wurden multivariate logistische Regressionsanalysen durchgeführt. Zunehmendes Alter und männliches Geschlecht, eine atopische Vorerkrankung des Kindes, eine positive Familienanamnese für allergische Erkrankungen sowie ein niedriges Geburtsgewicht erhöhten das Risiko für Asthma bronchiale signifikant, ebenso Übergewicht und schimmlige Wände in der Wohnung. Das Stillen hatte keine schützende Wirkung. Ein niedriges Alter der Mutter bei der Geburt und Leben in ländlichen oder kleinstädtischen Regionen erwiesen sich als protektiv. Insgesamt zeigte sich, dass die genetische Prädisposition und eine atopische Vorerkrankung des Kindes die stärksten Risikofaktoren für Asthma bronchiale sind. Aber auch Umweltfaktoren (schimmlige Wände, Leben in ländlichen und kleinstädtischen Gemeinden) und einzelne Lebensstilfaktoren spielten eine modifizierende Rolle.
description: In this study, associations between current asthma and possible determinants were studied using data of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (“Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland,” KiGGS). In this nationwide cross-sectional survey, 17,461 subjects aged 0–17 years were examined between 2003 and 2006. Data collection included a medical examination of the child, an interview of the parents, and written questionnaires. Apart from prevalence estimates, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Increasing age and male sex, previous atopic diseases of the child, a positive family history of allergic diseases and low birth weight were significant risk factors of asthma, as were overweight and moldy walls in the residence. Breast feeding was not associated with a reduced risk of asthma. Low age at delivery of the mother and living in rural or provincial regions were shown to be protected. Overall, this study suggests that allergies of the parents and previous atopic disease of the child are the strongest determinants of asthma. However, environmental factors (mold on walls, living in rural and provincial towns) and lifestyle factors could also modify asthma risk.

description: Background: Despite the major public health impact of diabetes, recent population-based data regarding its prevalence and comorbidity are sparse. Methods: The prevalence and comorbidity of diabetes mellitus were analyzed in a nationally representative sample (N = 9133) of the non-institutionalized German adult population aged 50 years and older. Information on physician-diagnosed diabetes and 20 other chronic health conditions was collected as part of the national telephone health interview survey ‘German Health Update (GEDA)’ 2009. Overall, 51.2% of contacted persons participated. Among persons with diabetes, diabetes severity was defined according to the type and number of diabetes-concordant conditions: no diabetes-concordant condition (grade 1); hypertension and/or hyperlipidemia only (grade 2); one comorbidity likely to represent diabetes-related micro- or macrovascular end-organ damage (grade 3); several such comorbidities (grade 4). Determinants of diabetes severity were analyzed by multivariable ordinal regression. Results: The 12-month prevalence of diabetes was 13.6% with no significant difference between men and women. Persons with diabetes had a significantly higher prevalence and average number of diabetes-concordant as well as diabetes-discordant comorbidities than persons without diabetes. Among persons with diabetes, 10.2%, 46.8%, 35.6% and 7.4% were classified as having severity grade 1–4, respectively. Determinants of diabetes severity included age (cumulative odds ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.07, per year) and number of discordant comorbidities (1.40, 1.25-1.55). With respect to specific discordant comorbidities, diabetes severity was correlated to depression (2.15, 1.29-3.56), respiratory disease (2.75, 1.72-4.41), musculoskeletal disease (1.53, 1.06-2.21), and severe hearing impairment (3.00, 1.21-7.41). Conclusions: Diabetes is highly prevalent in the non-institutionalized German adult population 50 years and older. Diabetes comorbidities including diabetes-concordant and diabetes-discordant conditions need to be considered in epidemiological studies, in order to monitor disease burden and quality of diabetes care. Definitional standards of diabetes severity need to be refined and consented.

description: Enterococci are important pathogens causing nosocomial infections and patients at risk include also premature babies requiring intensive care treatment. Our aim was to assess occurrence and cross transmission rates of enterococci among neonatal patients of a hospital ward during a two months period. Rectal and skin samples were taken between day one and 60 of infants’ age. Colonization with various potentially pathogenic bacteria was correlated with developing a subsequent infection. Enterococcal isolates were identified by colony morphology. The bacterial species was assessed and antibiotic susceptibilities were determined. A molecular analysis of 20 investigated enterococcal isolates revealed prevalence of commensal strain types; hospitalassociated strain types or multi-resistant variants were absent. Cross transmission of E. faecium and E. faecalis isolates among neonatal patients attending the intensive crare unit at the same time was demonstrable. Introduction of hospital-associated, multi-resistant variants into this special setting has to be avoided to reduce the risk of subsequent infections.

description: A cohort study on a barbecue-associated Salmonella outbreak was conducted to describe the burden of disease and to identify the outbreak vehicle. Dose–response relationships were tested with Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank sum tests (alpha = 0·05). S. Enteritidis isolates were cultured and phage-typed. Information was available for 11 out of 14 individuals attending the barbecue; all were healthy young adults (median age 27 years). The attack rate was 100%. Three cases were hospitalized and two developed acute pancreatitis. The exposure common to all cases was a vegetable pasta salad that had been stored unrefrigerated for 23 h. Consuming higher doses was associated with longer median symptom duration (7 days vs. 4 days, P = 0·11). S. Enteritidis was found in the stools of nine barbecue guests. Phage type 8/7 was identified in the stools of the salad preparer and one barbecue guest. This outbreak shows that S. Enteritidis can cause serious infection in young healthy individuals without well-known risk factors.

description: The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will employ seven 8.4m primary mirror segments and seven 1m secondary mirror segments to achieve the diffraction limit of a 25.4m aperture. In order to maintain image quality, an active optics system is employed to sense and control mirror position and figure. First, we present an optical design for the Acquisition, Guide and Wavefront Sensing Subsystem (AGWS) of the active optics system that is compatible with the newly available Raptor Falcon camera. Additionally, a unique challenge of the GMT is keeping the seven pairs of primary-secondary mirror segments in phase. We then present a conceptual opto-mechanical design for a prototype dispersed fringe sensor. The prototype, which operates at J-band and incorporates an infrared avalanche photodiode array, will be deployed on the Magellan Clay Telescope to verify the sensitivity and accuracy of the planned GMT phasing sensor.

description: Eine wachsende Zahl von Menschen in Deutschland nimmt die von der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung angebotenen Krebsfrüherkennungsuntersuchungen (KFU) in Anspruch. Mit Daten der ersten Erhebungswelle der Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1) wurden aktuelle Inanspruchnahmeraten ermittelt. DEGS1 ist ein bundesweiter Befragungs- und Untersuchungssurvey (2008–2011), der repräsentative Querschnittsanalysen dazu ermöglicht. In DEGS1 wurden die jeweils anspruchsberechtigten Personen zur Kenntnis, Regelmäßigkeit sowie zur turnusmäßigen Inanspruchnahme von KFU für einzelne Krebsarten befragt. Regelmäßig gehen insgesamt etwa 67,2% der Frauen und 40,0% der Männer zur KFU. Bei den einzelnen Untersuchungen schwanken die Teilnahmeraten stark. Frauen nehmen an vielen KFU häufiger teil als Männer, und eine bessere sozioökonomische Lage war bei ihnen mit höheren Teilnahmeraten assoziiert. Im Alter verbessern sich die Teilnahmeraten und nähern sich zwischen den Geschlechtern an. Die Auswertungen geben Hinweise auf Bevölkerungsgruppen, die gezielt angesprochen und darin unterstützt werden sollten, eine informierte Entscheidung zur KFU zu treffen, um die Teilnahmeraten weiter zu erhöhen. Sie stellen damit eine wichtige Grundlage für gesundheitspolitische Maßnahmen dar.
description: A growing number of people in Germany participate in the cancer screening services offered by statutory health insurance. Using data from the first wave of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1), current levels of participation in cancer screening services were determined. DEGS1 (2008–2011) permits representative cross-sectional analyses to be performed. In DEGS1, persons who were entitled to different cancer screening services were interviewed on their awareness, participation and regular utilisation of cancer screening for different types of cancer. Overall, 67.2% of women and 40.0% of men participate regularly. Participation rates fluctuate to a great extent for individual types of cancer screening. Women participate in cancer screening more frequently than men do. For women, a better socioeconomic status was associated with higher participation rates. Participation rates improve with increasing age, meaning that the difference in participation rates between women and men becomes smaller. The current analyses present information on specifically targeted population groups to promote informed decision-making about cancer screening, so that participation rates can be improved further. The analyses thus provide an important basis for health policy measures. An English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink as supplemental.

Daniyal Mueenuddin’s Dying Men
Creators: name: Sadaf, Shazia
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: English literature

description: Daniyal Mueenuddin’s In Other Rooms, Other Wonders is reflection of Pakistani masculinity in a metamorphosed state. A disturbingly masculine vocabulary frames the appearance and actions of the female characters. In contrast, the speech and thought of the male characters is minified in words of loss and regret. Their material ambitions and the resulting show of power, is put into sharp contrast against an increasing impotency within their personal lives. They are unfulfilled, aging or dying men. This collection of short stories has been commended for its candid illumination of a contemporary Pakistan. However, this paper aims to highlight the alternative theme that these stories contain by showing Pakistani masculinity caught in a paraxial state between colonial delineations of power, the subsequent rise of corruption in a postcolonial aftermath, and the resulting confusion about issues of identity. There has been a loss of masculinity during this process which is reflected through the metaphor of death. Rather than dejection about this state of demise, this metaphoric interpretation leads the reader towards hope of a positive rebirth.

description: Betrachtet man Überblicke über die Designgeschichte, hat man den Eindruck, Frauen seien allenfalls Randfiguren. Mit großem Beharrungsvermögen tauchen die wenigen Designerinnen meist als Ausnahmen auf. Zwar verweist so manch aufgeklärter Autor, auch manche Autorin, darauf, dass Frauen zu Unrecht unterrepräsentiert sind, doch es fehlt das Bemühen, das seit langem gesicherte Wissen über die Bedeutung von Frauen in die Designgeschichte zu integrieren. Ein ähnliches Bild vermitteln deutsche Sammlungen. Zieht man beispielsweise Online-Datenbanken von renommierten deutschen Plakatsammlungen zu Rate, ist die Wirkung geradezu erschreckend. Liegt es wirklich daran, dass es nicht so viele erwähnenswerte Grafikdesignerinnen gegeben hat?

description: In der Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1) wurden von 2008 bis 2011 in einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe von 7988 Personen im Alter von 18 bis 79 Jahren aktuelle depressive Symptome mit dem „Patient Health Questionnaire“ (PHQ-9) erfasst. Zusätzlich wurden diagnostizierte Depressionen in einem ärztlichen Interview erfragt. Eine depressive Symptomatik (PHQ-9 ≥10 Punkte) besteht bei 8,1% der Erwachsenen (Frauen 10,2%; Männer 6,1%). Bei beiden Geschlechtern ist die Prävalenz bei 18- bis 29-Jährigen am höchsten und fällt danach ab. Bei Männern und Frauen mit höherem sozioökonomischem Status besteht seltener eine depressive Symptomatik. Die Lebenszeitprävalenz einer diagnostizierten Depression beträgt 11,6% (Frauen 15,4%; Männer 7,8%) und ist am höchsten bei 60- bis 69-Jährigen; die 12-Monats-Prävalenz liegt bei 6,0% (Frauen 8,1%; Männer 3,8%) und ist am höchsten bei 50- bis 59-Jährigen. Bei Frauen, aber nicht bei Männern sinken die Diagnoseprävalenzen mit steigendem sozioökonomischem Status. Die Ergebnisse beschreiben die weite Verbreitung von depressiver Symptomatik und diagnostizierter Depression in der Erwachsenenbevölkerung in Deutschland und bestätigen bekannte Zusammenhänge von Depression mit Alter, Geschlecht und sozioökonomischem Status.
description: In the German Health Interview and Examination Survey (DEGS1), current depressive symptoms were assessed with the “Patient Health Questionnaire” (PHQ-9) in a representative population-based sample of 7,988 adults 18–79 years old. In addition previously diagnosed depression was assessed by physician interview. The prevalence of current depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥10 points) is 8.1% (women: 10.2%; men: 6.1%). For both sexes, the prevalence is highest among 18- to 29-year-olds and decreases with age. Persons with higher socioeconomic status (SES) are less likely to have current depressive symptoms. The lifetime prevalence of diagnosed depression is 11.6% (women: 15.4%; men: 7.8%) and is highest among persons 60–69 years old. The 12 month prevalence is 6.0% (women: 8.1%; men: 3.8%) and is highest among 50- to 59-year-olds. In women, but not in men, prevalences decrease with increasing SES. The results describe the distribution of two important aspects of depression among the adult population in Germany and confirm previously observed associations with age, gender and SES.

description: The article provides representative benchmarks and trends for the use of medical and therapeutic services in Germany on the basis of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) and the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98) from the years 2008–2011 and 1997/98, respectively. DEGS1 shows that women seek most medical services more often than men. Differences by gender decreased with age. In almost all services, an increase in utilisation is recorded with age. There are large differences in utilisation depending on self-rated health, as opposed to fewer differences by social status, health insurance and region. At both time points, the proportion of the population that utilised outpatient or inpatient medical assistance at least once a year, is almost unchanged high. At the same time, a significant reduction in the annual number of contacts with medical practices and the length of hospital stay was recorded as well as an increase of the consulted specialist groups. This may be explained due to regulation effects of earlier reforms.
In War Time: Whittier's Civil War Address and The Quaker Periodical Press

Subjects: subject: United States
subject: History
subject: American literature
subject: Religion

description: Fought, at least in part, for a cause in which many Quakers ostensibly believed and had previously risked a great deal for, the American Civil War was a time of great trial for American Quakers. Extending ongoing efforts to understand this complex period, the following essay considers John G. Whittier’s mid-war poem, "In War Time," and the peculiarity of its simultaneous appearance in the major Hicksite, Gurneyite, and Wilburite periodicals of the nineteenth century. Consequent of the singularity of its shared printing, Whittier’s poem renders more legible the shared dilemma Friends faced when attempting to position their peace principles in ethical relation to the mass suffering of the war. Reflecting, while also contributing to, a major transformation in American Quakerism, "In War Time" questioned the ethics of dissociative pacifism, exhorting members of the Society to assist the Union war effort, if only in non-combatant roles, as nurses in hospitals and as teachers among the freedmen.

"Address your questions to Dostoevsky": Privatizing Punishment in Russian Cinema. In: Russia's New Fin de Siècle: Contemporary Culture between Past and Present. Edited by Birgit Beumers. Intellect: Chicago.

Publisher: name: Bristol-Chicago: Intellect
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Russia
subject: Russian literature
subject: Culture--Study and teaching
subject: History

description: The chapter offers a close reading of two cinematic cases, Andrei Zviagintsev's Elena (2011) and Govorukhin's Voroshilov Sniper, in order to demonstrate in a reverse engineering move how publically executed punishments of the late 1990s were translated into quiet murders a decade later. This transition from 'punishments outside the law' to 'crimes without punishment', I suggest, is usually linked in Russian cinema to two important trends. First, the impotence of the existing legal system – the inefficiency of the regulatory functions of the state are often counterbalanced by the increasing prominence of networks of reciprocity and forms of loyalty based on family ties. Second, the privatization of punishment, the appropriation of extrajudicial authority is frequently achieved through the aestheticization of violence. The separation of moral issues from the distribution of force allows us to perceive violence as a "communicative phenomenon," as Birgit Beumers and Mark Lipovetsky aptly put it (2009, 63), that is to say, as an artistic device, as a structural solution which is called upon to restore a necessary (narrative) balance.

description: In jungen Jahren erfolgt die Gesundheitsversorgung vor allem durch niedergelassene Ärztinnen und Ärzte. Analysiert wird in diesem Beitrag die Inanspruchnahme gesundheitlicher Versorgung von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Datenbasis ist das Landesmodul Thüringen (2010–2012; n = 4884; 0–17 Jahre), welches in KiGGS Welle 1 (2009–2012) durchgeführt wurde. Die Gesundheitsversorgung wird anhand von sieben Indikatoren beschrieben: Arztbesuche insgesamt, Kinderarztbesuche, Allgemeinarztbesuche, Krankenhausaufenthalte, Früherkennungsuntersuchungen, Impfung gegen humane Papillomviren (HPV) und Frauenarztbesuche. Es werden Prävalenzen bzw. Mittelwerte mit 95 %-Konfidenzintervallen ausgewiesen und anhand logistischer bzw. linearer Regressionen wird die Signifikanz der Gruppenunterschiede überprüft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass mit 93,9 % die überwältigende Mehrheit der 0‑ bis 17-Jährigen in Thüringen in den letzten zwölf Monaten in einer niedergelassenen Arztpraxis vorgestellt wurde; die durchschnittliche Zahl der Arztbesuche pro Person und Jahr lag bei 6,6 Kontakten. Etwa drei Viertel der 0‑ bis 17-Jährigen sind kinder- und jugendärztlich und etwa ein Drittel sind allgemeinärztlich versorgt worden (75,1 % und 29,9 %). Außerdem haben 13,1 % der 0‑ bis 17-Jährigen in Thüringen in den letzten zwölf Monaten mindestens eine Nacht im Krankenhaus verbracht; die durchschnittliche Zahl der Krankenhausnächte betrug 7,2 Übernachtungen. Mit 90,5 % hat ferner ein Großteil der 7‑ bis 13-jährigen Kinder vollständig das Früherkennungsprogramm (U3–U9, ohne U7a) besucht. Gegen HPV jemals mit mindestens einer Dosis geimpft wurden 67,5 % der 14- bis 17-jährigen Mädchen, 56,3 % haben eine vollständige Impfung mit drei Dosen erhalten. Darüber hinaus haben 62,0 % der 14- bis 17-jährigen Mädchen zumindest einmal eine Frauenärztin bzw. einen Frauenarzt konsultiert. Es treten signifikante Unterschiede nach Geschlecht, Alter, Sozialstatus und Wohnort (Stadt/Land) auf. In der Summe weisen die Ergebnisse auf eine hohe Inanspruchnahme ärztlicher und stationärer Versorgung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen in Thüringen hin. Zudem werden Präventionspotenziale deutlich, wie z. B. mit Blick auf die Durchimpfung gegen HPV.
