Compared to the state of the art of using finite differences or the forward mode of automatic differentiation, our proposed approach leads to a reduction of the relative temporal complexity from linear to constant time in the number of control variables and measurement weights. We demonstrate that the advantageous complexity results are not only of theoretical nature, but lead to significant speedups in practice as well. With our implementation we are very close to the theoretical bound of the cheap gradient principle. We present one academic (spatially discretized heat equation) and two industrial application examples (biochemical process/Diesel-oxidation catalysis process) where we achieve speedups that range between 10 and 100. In addition to our core results, we also describe an efficient adjoint approach for the treatment of differential algebraic equations and present adjoint formulas for constrained least-squares problems.}, language = {de} } @misc{KrenkelMichelKeiletal., author = {Krenkel, Lars and Michel, Johanna and Keil, Niklas and Daschner, Jan}, title = {Experimental Investigation of Logitudinal Folds in Endotracheal Tube Cuffs and their Correlation to Silent Breathing}, series = {23.

By examining blood from ECMO patients for NETs and their precursors and correlating them with clinical and laboratory biomarkers of coagulation and inflammation, this study aims to evaluate the association between the presence of NETs in the bloodstream of ECMO patients and the development of potentially severe coagulation disorders during ECMO therapy. Therefore, blood samples were collected from healthy volunteers (n=13) and patients receiving veno-venous (VV) ECMO therapy (n=10). To identify NETs and their precursors, DNA and myeloperoxidase as well as granulocyte marker CD66b were visualized simultaneously by immunofluorescence staining in serial blood smears. Differentiation of DNA-containing objects and identification of NETs and their precursors was performed semiautomatically by a specific algorithm using the shape and size of DNA staining and the intensity of MPO and CD66b signal. Neutrophil extracellular traps and their precursors could be detected in blood smears from patients requiring VV ECMO. Compared to volunteers, ECMO patients presented significantly higher rates of NETs and NET precursors as well as an increased proportion of neutrophil granulocytes in all detected nucleated cells. A high NET rate prior to the initiation of ECMO therapy was associated with both increased iL-6 and TNF-α levels as an expression of a high cytokine burden. These patients with increased NET release also presented an earlier and significantly more pronounced decrease in platelet counts and ATIII activity following initiation of therapy compared with patients with less elevated NETs.

This shift prompts the question of how digital telesetting differs from a face-to-face setting and which aspects are fundamental. METHODS As the first part of a mixed-method study, qualitative interviews (n = 20) were conducted from July 2021 to January 2022. Health professionals (n = 13) and patients (n = 7) from occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy, and nursing were interviewed. All interviewees came from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The results were categorized using structured content analysis. RESULTS Six main categories and 20 sub-categories were summarized, which can act as barriers or resources in a telesetting. Both sides described a high level of acceptance and approval of telesetting. Motivation and digital skills were of great importance. Furthermore, special features in communication and interaction were described, as well as changes in organizational procedures and a specific process flow in telesetting. Including relatives was more feasible, although several environmental factors should be considered. DISCUSSION A number of specific changes in a telesetting compared to a face-to-face setting show the need for a structured guide for interested parties. Appropriate basic principles must be taught in training and further education to support the spread of this new form of care. Furthermore, it is crucial to adapt the methodological and content-related aspects of telesetting and develop new approaches that specifically integrate audio-visual possibilities.}, language = {en} } @article{DeuterHajBrawanskietal., author = {Deuter, Daniel and Haj, Amer and Brawanski, Alexander and Krenkel, Lars and Schmidt, Nils Ole and Doenitz, Christian}, title = {Fast simulation of hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms for clinical use}, series = {Acta Neurochirurgica}, volume = {167}, journal = {Acta Neurochirurgica}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s00701-025-06469-9}, pages = {14}, abstract = {BACKGROUND: A widely accepted tool to assess hemodynamics, one of the most important factors in aneurysm pathophysiology, is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). As current workflows are still time consuming and difficult to operate, CFD is not yet a standard tool in the clinical setting. There it could provide valuable information on aneurysm treatment, especially regarding local risks of rupture, which might help to optimize the individualized strategy of neurosurgical dissection during microsurgical aneurysm clipping. METHOD: We established and validated a semi-automated workflow using 3D rotational angiographies of 24 intracranial aneurysms from patients having received aneurysm treatment at our centre. Reconstruction of vessel geometry and generation of volume meshes was performed using AMIRA 6.2.0 and ICEM 17.1. For solving ANSYS CFX was used. For validational checks, tests regarding the volumetric impact of smoothing operations, the impact of mesh sizes on the results (grid convergence), geometric mesh quality and time tests for the time needed to perform the workflow were conducted in subgroups. RESULTS: Most of the steps of the workflow were performed directly on the 3D images requiring no programming experience. The workflow led to final CFD results in a mean time of 22 min 51.4 s (95\%-CI 20 min 51.562 s-24 min 51.238 s, n = 5). Volume of the geometries after pre-processing was in mean 4.46\% higher than before in the analysed subgroup (95\%-CI 3.43-5.50\%). Regarding mesh sizes, mean relative aberrations of 2.30\% (95\%-CI 1.51-3.09\%) were found for surface meshes and between 1.40\% (95\%-CI 1.07-1.72\%) and 2.61\% (95\%-CI 1.93-3.29\%) for volume meshes. Acceptable geometric mesh quality of volume meshes was found. CONCLUSIONS: We developed a semi-automated workflow for aneurysm CFD to benefit from hemodynamic data in the clinical setting. The ease of handling opens the workflow to clinicians untrained in programming. As previous studies have found that the distribution of hemodynamic parameters correlates with thin-walled aneurysm areas susceptible to rupture, these data might be beneficial for the operating neurosurgeon during aneurysm surgery, even in acute cases.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Zuerner, author = {Z{\"u}rner, Christian}, title = {Was macht die Kunst mit der Welt?}, series = {Die Nachhaltigkeitsziele der UN im Spiegel der Wissenschaft : Beispiele aus der Sozial- und Gesundheitsforschung}, booktitle = {Die Nachhaltigkeitsziele der UN im Spiegel der Wissenschaft : Beispiele aus der Sozial- und Gesundheitsforschung}, editor = {Heese, Carl and Sch{\"u}tz, Sandra and Obergrießer, Stefanie}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-43333-8}, issn = {2731-8834}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-43334-5_23}, pages = {413 -- 428}, abstract = {Der Beitrag bestimmt die Kunst als eine spezifische, feierliche Praxis des Kommunizierens mit der Welt, nicht {\"u}ber die Welt.

Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. RESULTS Three themes emerged: sport psychology consultation, the influence of visual orientation on psychological skills and demands, and Deaf sport culture and communication. While participants expressed strong interest in sport psychology, engagement with professionals was limited by accessibility issues, lack of sign language-fluent consultants, and structural barriers. Deaf athletes reported adapting some techniques to match their visual-spatial orientation and both advantages and challenges of visual reliance in sports. Distinct communication dynamics between native signers and spoken-language users within Deaf teams were also revealed.

This can probably lead to serious disorders in long-term practice with repetitive movements. OBJECTIVE: For this reason, this study investigated the relationship between the right shoulder elevation and the force in the right glenohumeral joint during violin playing. It was hypothesized that the forces in the right glenohumeral joint are higher during playing with the right shoulder raised compared to playing in normal posture. METHODS: Motion capture data from four experienced violinists was recorded and processed by means of musculoskeletal simulation to get the force and elevation angle while playing with raised shoulder and in normal position. RESULTS: The results indicate that the absolute values of the resulting force, as well as the forces in the mediolateral, inferosuperior, and anteroposterior directions, are higher in playing the violin with the shoulder raised than in a normal posture.

To achieve this goal, a safe, efficient, and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 testing system for schools in addition to standard hygiene measures is necessary. Methods: We implemented the screening WICOVIR concept for schools in the southeast of Germany, which is based on gargling at home, pooling of samples in schools, and assessment of SARS-CoV-2 by pool rRT-PCR, performed decentralized in numerous participating laboratories. Depooling was performed if pools were positive, and results were transmitted with software specifically developed for the project within a day. Here, we report the results after the first 13 weeks in the project. Findings: We developed and implemented the proof-of-concept test system within a pilot phase of 7 weeks based on almost 17,000 participants. After 6 weeks in the main phase of the project, we performed >100,000 tests in total, analyzed in 7,896 pools, identifying 19 cases in >100 participating schools. On average, positive children showed an individual CT value of 31 when identified in the pools. Up to 30 samples were pooled (mean 13) in general, based on school classes and attached school staff. All three participating laboratories detected positive samples reliably with their previously established rRT-PCR standard protocols. When self-administered antigen tests were performed concomitantly in positive cases, only one of these eight tests was positive, and when antigen tests performed after positive pool rRT-PCR results were already known were included, 3 out of 11 truly positive tests were also identified by antigen testing. After 3 weeks of repetitive WICOVIR testing twice weekly, the detection rate of positive children in that cohort decreased significantly from 0.042 to 0.012 (p = 0.008). Interpretation: Repeated gargle pool rRT-PCR testing can be implemented quickly in schools. It is an effective, valid, and well-received test system for schools, superior to antigen tests in sensitivity, acceptance, and costs.}, subject = {Covid-19}, language = {en} } @article{SchedlbauerRaptisLudwig, author = {Schedlbauer, J{\"u}rgen and Raptis, Georgios and Ludwig, Bernd}, title = {Medical informatics labor market analysis using web crawling, web scraping, and text mining}, series = {International Journal of Medical Informatics}, volume = {150}, journal = {International Journal of Medical Informatics}, number = {June}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1386-5056}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2021.104453}, abstract = {Objectives The European University Association (EUA) defines "employability" as a major goal of higher education. Therefore, competence-based orientation is an important aspect of education. The representation of a standardized job profile in the field of medical informatics, which is based on the most common labor market requirements, is fundamental for identifying and conveying the learning goals corresponding to these competences. Methods To identify the most common requirements, we extracted 544 job advertisements from the German job portal, STEPSTONE. This process was conducted via a program we developed in R with the "rvest" library, utilizing web crawling, web extraction, and text mining. After removing duplicates and filtering for jobs that required a bachelor's degree, 147 job advertisements remained, from which we extracted qualification terms. We categorized the terms into six groups: professional expertise, soft skills, teamwork, processes, learning, and problem-solving abilities. Results The results showed that only 45\% of the terms are related to professional expertise, while 55\% are related to soft skills. Studies of employee soft skills have shown similar results. The most prevalent terms were programming, experience, project, and server. Our second major finding is the importance of experience, further underlining how essential practical skills are.

The remodeling process of the ECM causes changes in the biomechanical properties of the ONH and the peripapillary sclera, which is accompanied by an increased reactivity of the resident astrocytes. The molecular factors involved in the remodeling process belong to the Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β superfamily, especially TGF-β2. In previous publications we showed that TGF-β2 induced ECM alterations are mediated by Cellular Communication Network Factor (CCN)2/Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) and recently we showed that CCN2/CTGF is expressed by astrocytes of the ON under normal conditions. In this study we wanted to get a better understanding of the function of CCN2/CTGF under normal and pathologic conditions. To this end, we analyzed the glial lamina and peripapillary sclera of CCN2/CTGF overexpressing mice and studied the effect of CCN2/CTGF and increasing substratum stiffness on murine ON astrocytes in vitro. We observed enhanced astrocyte reactivity in the ONH, increased ECM protein synthesis in the peripapillary sclera and increased Ccn2/Ctgf expression in the ONH during the pathologic development in situ. CCN2/CTGF treatment of primary murine ON astrocytes induced a higher migration rate, and increase of ECM proteins including fibronectin, elastin and collagen type III. Furthermore, the astrocytes responded to stiffer substratum with increased glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, actin and CCN2/CTGF synthesis. Finally, we observed the reinforced appearance of CCN2/CTGF in the lamina cribrosa of glaucomatous patients. We conclude that reactive changes in ONH astrocytes, induced by the altered biomechanical characteristics of the region, give rise to a self-amplifying process that includes increased TGF-β2/CCN2/CTGF signaling and leads to the synthesis of ECM molecules and cytoskeleton proteins, a process that in turn augments the stiffness at the ONH. Such a scenario may finally result in a vicious circle in the pathogenesis of POAG. The transgenic CTGF-overexpressing mouse model might be an optimal model to study the chronic pathological POAG changes in the ONH.}, language = {en} } @misc{WeberSonarGerhardsetal., author = {Weber, Karsten and Sonar, Arne and Gerhards, Helene and Bittner, Uta and Krug, Henriette and Reuter-Oppermann, Melanie and Pumplun, Luisa and M{\"u}ller, Helene and Buxmann, Peter and Schneider, Diana and Zoglauer, Thomas}, title = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz und Gesundheit}, editor = {Sonar, Arne and Weber, Karsten}, publisher = {Franz Steiner}, address = {Stuttgart}, isbn = {978-3-515-12977-0}, doi = {10.25162/9783515129770}, abstract = {Der Einsatz von k{\"u}nstlicher Intelligenz im Gesundheitsbereich verspricht besonders großen Nutzen durch eine bessere Versorgung sowie effizientere Abl{\"a}ufe und bietet damit letztlich auch {\"o}konomische Vorteile.

METHODOLOGY: To generate a realistic training model suitable for trauma-related simulations, CT-Data sets were segmented, combined, adjusted and optimized using computer-aided design features. Specific focus was on optimally reflecting characteristics of immature teeth like open apical foramina and thin root walls. For reflection of the revitalization process, a set-up including a tube filled with red liquid under pressure was developed to be perforated during the procedure by the trainee, simulating bleeding from the apical papilla into the root canal system. Design was based on a combination of cost-effective simple parts combined with 3D-printed components to achieve maximal accessibility, exchangeability and re-usability. Model assembly and preparation were described in step-by-step instructions. RESULTS: As a result of the developmental process, the presented model qualifies for the training of the endodontic management of complications on immature teeth after dental trauma. Step-by-step descriptions aligned with the clinical procedures are performable for a revitalization procedure, for pulpotomy followed by fragment re-attachment and splint application and for placement of an apical plug using hydraulic calcium silicate cements. CONCLUSIONS: The model successfully achieved its intended objectives, so that it may be used in the future in various dental trauma treatment simulations for undergraduate and postgraduate education on the endodontic management of trauma-related therapies in immature teeth.

Der paralympische Behindertensport wird zunehmend st{\"a}rker beachtet, der deaflympische hingegen insgesamt wenig. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird deshalb ein {\"U}berblick gegeben. Es wird zun{\"a}chst dessen geschichtliche Entwicklung n{\"a}her beschrieben und verdeutlicht, dass der institutionalisierte Sport von Athleten mit H{\"o}rbeeintr{\"a}chtigungen die l{\"a}ngste Tradition im Behindertensport aufweist. Außerdem erfolgt eine Beschreibung der institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen dieser Sportbewegung. Dabei ist hervorzuheben, dass f{\"u}r die Belange des Leistungssports von Menschen mit H{\"o}rbeeintr{\"a}chtigungen der Deutsche Geh{\"o}rlosenSportverband (DGS) und nicht der Deutsche Behindertensportverband (DBS) zust{\"a}ndig ist, da es sich beim deaflympischen Sport um eine historisch gewachsene, eigenst{\"a}ndige Sportbewegung handelt. Die weiteren Ausf{\"u}hrungen betreffen Aspekte zum Training und Wettkampf von Athleten mit H{\"o}rsch{\"a}digungen. Um an Wettk{\"a}mpfen im Geh{\"o}rlosensport teilnehmen zu d{\"u}rfen, muss ein Mindestmaß an H{\"o}rminderung vorliegen. Die Teilnahme an hochrangigen (internationalen) Wettk{\"a}mpfen (z. B. Deaflympics) erfordert dann - wie im Spitzensport generell - ein systematisches und regelm{\"a}ßiges Training. In Bezug auf Athleten mit H{\"o}rminderungen bedeutet dies insbesondere eine bestimmte Art der Kommunikation, des Vermittelns bzw. Erlernens (neuer) Bewegungen sowie die Beachtung etwaiger Einschr{\"a}nkungen der Gleichgewichtsf{\"a}higkeit. Auf diese Aspekte wird in diesem {\"U}bersichtsbeitrag ausf{\"u}hrlich eingegangen.

Here, we propose a toolbox to validate MR-AC of clinical PET/MRI data sets. Methods Torso scans of ten patients were acquired on a combined PET/CT and on a 1.5-T MRI system. MR-based attenuation data were derived from the CT following MR-CT image co-registration and subsequent histogram matching. PET images were reconstructed after CT- (PET/CT) and MR-based AC (PET/MRI). Lesion-to-background (L/B) ratios were estimated on PET/CT and PET/MRI. Results MR-CT histogram matching leads to a mean voxel intensity difference in the CT- and MR-based attenuation images of 12\% (max). Mean differences between PET/MRI and PET/CT were 19\% (max). L/B ratios were similar except for the lung where local misregistration and intensity transformation leads to a biased PET/MRI. Conclusion Our toolbox can be used to study pitfalls in MR-AC. We found that co-registration accuracy and pixel value transformation determine the accuracy of PET/MRI.}, subject = {Kernspintomografie}, language = {en} } @article{HartmannNieberlePalmetal., author = {Hartmann, Robin and Nieberle, Felix and Palm, Christoph and Br{\´e}bant, Vanessa and Prantl, Lukas and Kuehle, Reinald and Reichert, Torsten E. and Taxis, Juergen and Ettl, Tobias}, title = {Utility of Smartphone-based Three-dimensional Surface Imaging for Digital Facial Anthropometry}, series = {JPRAS Open}, volume = {39}, journal = {JPRAS Open}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.jpra.2024.01.014}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-70348}, pages = {330 -- 343}, abstract = {Background The utilization of three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging for facial anthropometry is a significant asset for patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Notably, there have been recent advancements in smartphone technology that enable 3D surface imaging. In this study, anthropometric assessments of the face were performed using a smartphone and a sophisticated 3D surface imaging system. Methods 30 healthy volunteers (15 females and 15 males) were included in the study. An iPhone 14 Pro (Apple Inc., USA) using the application 3D Scanner App (Laan Consulting Corp., USA) and the Vectra M5 (Canfield Scientific, USA) were employed to create 3D surface models. For each participant, 19 anthropometric measurements were conducted on the 3D surface models. Subsequently, the anthropometric measurements generated by the two approaches were compared. The statistical techniques employed included the paired t-test, paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Bland-Altman analysis, and calculation of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results All measurements showed excellent agreement between smartphone-based and Vectra M5-based measurements (ICC between 0.85 and 0.97). Statistical analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in the central tendencies for 17 of the 19 linear measurements. Despite the excellent agreement found, Bland-Altman analysis revealed that the 95\% limits of agreement between the two methods exceeded ±3 mm for the majority of measurements. Conclusion Digital facial anthropometry using smartphones can serve as a valuable supplementary tool for surgeons, enhancing their communication with patients. However, the proposed data suggest that digital facial anthropometry using smartphones may not yet be suitable for certain diagnostic purposes that require high accuracy.}, language = {en} } @article{EbigboMendelScheppachetal., author = {Ebigbo, Alanna and Mendel, Robert and Scheppach, Markus W. and Probst, Andreas and Shahidi, Neal and Prinz, Friederike and Fleischmann, Carola and R{\"o}mmele, Christoph and G{\"o}lder, Stefan Karl and Braun, Georg and Rauber, David and R{\"u}ckert, Tobias and Souza Jr., Luis Antonio de and Papa, Jo{\~a}o Paulo and Byrne, Michael F. and Palm, Christoph and Messmann, Helmut}, title = {Vessel and tissue recognition during third-space endoscopy using a deep learning algorithm}, series = {Gut}, volume = {71}, journal = {Gut}, number = {12}, publisher = {BMJ}, address = {London}, doi = {10.1136/gutjnl-2021-326470}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-54293}, pages = {2388 -- 2390}, abstract = {In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence clinical decision support solution to mitigate operator-dependent limitations during complex endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection and peroral endoscopic myotomy, for example, bleeding and perforation.

Different automated FP grading systems have been developed but revealed persisting downsides such as insufficient accuracy and cost-intensive hardware. We aimed to overcome these barriers and programmed an automated grading system for FP patients utilizing the House and Brackmann scale (HBS). Methods: Image datasets of 86 patients seen at the Department of Plastic, Hand, and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Regensburg, Germany, between June 2017 and May 2021, were used to train the neural network and evaluate its accuracy. Nine facial poses per patient were analyzed by the algorithm. Results: The algorithm showed an accuracy of 100\%. Oversampling did not result in altered outcomes, while the direct form displayed superior accuracy levels when compared to the modular classification form (n = 86; 100\% vs. 99\%). The Early Fusion technique was linked to improved accuracy outcomes in comparison to the Late Fusion and sequential method (n = 86; 100\% vs. 96\% vs. 97\%). Conclusions: Our automated FP grading system combines high-level accuracy with cost- and time-effectiveness. Our algorithm may accelerate the grading process in FP patients and facilitate the FP surgeon's workflow.}, language = {en} } @article{SouzaJrPalmMendeletal., author = {Souza Jr., Luis Antonio de and Palm, Christoph and Mendel, Robert and Hook, Christian and Ebigbo, Alanna and Probst, Andreas and Messmann, Helmut and Weber, Silke A.
