Abstract

We present numerical simulations as well as experimental results concerning transitions between Taylor vortices and spiral vortices in the Taylor-Couette system with rigid, non-rotating end-walls in axial direction. As in the axial periodic case, these transitions are performed by wavy structures appearing via a secondary bifurcation out of Taylor vortices and spirals, respectively. But in the presence of rigid lids, pure spiral solutions do not occur but are substituted by primary bifurcating, stable wavy spiral structures (wSPI). Similarly to the periodic system, we found a transition from Taylor vortices to wSPI mediated by so called wavy Taylor vortices (wTVF) and, on the other hand, a transition from wSPI to TVF triggered by a propagating defect. We furthermore observed and investigated the primary bifurcation of wSPI out of basic Ekman flow., Comment: 6 figures

Abstract

Funder: Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau (1016), Background Disease burden and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes call for innovation in treatments of depression. Prospective mental imagery, i.e. future-directed voluntary imagery-based thought, about potentially-rewarding activities may offer a mechanistically-informed intervention that targets deficits in reward processing, a core clinical feature of depression. We propose that the previously described impact of prospective mental imagery on motivation for everyday activities is facilitated by affective forecasting, i.e. predictions about an individual’s emotional response to the imagined activities. Methods Participants (N = 120) self-nominated six activities to engage in over the following week and were randomized to either: (1) an affective forecasting imagery condition (n = 40); (2) a neutral process imagery condition (n = 40); or (3) a no-imagery control condition (n = 40). Results As predicted, increases in motivation ratings from pre to post experimental manipulation were significantly higher following affective forecasting imagery compared to both neutral process imagery (d = 0.62) and no-imagery (d = 0.91). Contrary to predictions, the number of activities participants engaged in did not differ between conditions. Conclusions Results provide initial evidence for a potentially important role of affective forecasting in prospective mental imagery. We discuss how these findings can inform future research aiming to harness prospective mental imagery’s potential for clinical applications.

This analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of new interferon (IFN)-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapies in a large real-world cohort of HCV patients after LT.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 157 patients infected with HCV who underwent deceased donor LT between 1997 and 2014. Patient survival, outcome, and side effects of antiviral therapy were assessed.Results: Survival with recurrent HCV genotype 1 (GT1) infection was inferior to other HCV GTs (P=0.01). The overall sustained virological response (SVR) rate with new DAA therapy was 94.6% (n=37). Patients with both GT1 and other GTs reached SVR rates >90%. We noticed a few side effects, mainly caused by ribavirin, and only one discontinuation in DAA-treated patients.Conclusion: DAA therapy was effective and safe in previous hard-to-treat patients after LT in this real-world cohort.

Abstract

Background: Recipient selection for liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is based primarily on criteria affecting the chance of long-term success. Here, the relationship between pretransplant bridging therapy and long-term survival was investigated in a subgroup analysis of the SiLVER Study. Methods: Response to bridging, as defined by comparison of imaging at the time of listing and post-transplant pathology report, was categorized into controlled versus progressive disease (more than 20 per cent tumour growth or development of new lesions). Results: Of 525 patients with HCC who had liver transplantation, 350 recipients underwent pretransplant bridging therapy. Tumour progression despite bridging was an independent risk factor affecting overall survival (hazard ratio 1.80; P=0.005). For patients within the Milan criteria (MC) at listing, mean overall survival was longer for those with controlled versus progressive disease (6.8 versus 5.8 years; P<0.001). Importantly, patients with HCCs outside the MC that were downsized to within the MC before liver transplantation had poor outcomes compared with patients who never exceeded the MC (mean overall survival 6.2 versus 6.6 years respectively; P=0.030). Conclusion: Patients with HCCs within the MC that did not show tumour progression under locoregional therapy had the best outcomes after liver transplantation. Downstaging into the limits of the MC did not improve the probability of survival. Prognostic factors determining the long-term success of liver transplantation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are still under discussion. A subgroup analysis of the SiLVER trial showed that disease control under bridging therapy is strongly associated with improved prognosis in terms of overall survival. However, in tumours exceeding the limits of the Milan criteria, downstaging did not restore the probability of survival compared with that of patients within the Milan criteria.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival benefit of sirolimus in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (exploratory analysis of the SiLVER-trial). Summary and Background Data: Patients receiving LT) for HCC are at a high risk for tumor recurrence. Calcineurin inhibitors have shown evidence to promote cancer growth, whereas mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors like sirolimus have anticancer effects. In the SiLVER-trial (Clinicaltrials.gov:NCT00355862), the effect of sirolimus on the recurrence of HCC after LTwas investigated in a prospective randomized trial. Although the primary endpoint of improved disease-free survival (DFS) with sirolimus was not met, outcomes were improved for patients in the sirolimus-treatment arm in the first 3 to 5 years. To learn more about the key variables, a multivariate analysis was performed on the SiLVER-trial data. Patients and Methods: Data from 508 patients of the intention-to-treat analysis were included in exploratory univariate and multivariate models for overall survival (OS), DFS and a competing risk analysis for HCC recurrence. Results: Sirolimus use for >= 3 months after LT for HCC independently reduced the hazard for death in the multivariate analysis [hazard ratio (HR): 0.7 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.52-0.96, P = 0.02). Most strikingly, patients with an alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) >= 10 ng/mL and having used sirolimus for >= 3 months, benefited most with regard to OS, DFS, and HCC-recurrence (HR: 0.49- 0.59, P = 0.0079- 0.0245). Conclusions: mTOR-inhibitor treatment with sirolimus for >= 3 months improves outcomes in LT for HCC, especially in patients with AFP-evidence of higher tumor activity, advocating particularly for mTOR inhibitor use in this subgroup of patients. Clinical Trial Registration: EudraCT: 2005-005362-36 Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00355862.

Abstract

Factors affecting outcomes in liver transplant (LTx) recipients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection include the choice of immunosuppression. Here, we analyzed the HCV+ subgroup of patients from the randomized controlled, international SiLVER Study. We performed a post hoc analysis of 166 HCV+ SiLVER Study patients regarding HCC outcome after LTx. Control patients (group A: n = 88) received mTOR inhibitor (mTORi)-free, calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based versus sirolimus-based immunosuppression (group B: n = 78). We found no significant difference regarding HCV-RNA titers between group A and B. Since no effect in group B could be due to variable sirolimus dosing, we split group B into patients receiving sirolimus-based immunosuppression + CNIs for >50% (B1; n = 44) or <50% (B2; n = 34) of the time. While there remained no difference in HCV-RNA titer between groups, HCC recurrence-free survival in group B1 (81.8%) was markedly better versus both group A (62.7%; P = 0.0136) and group B2 (64.7%; P = 0.0326); Interestingly, further subgroup analysis revealed an increase (P = 0.0012) in liver enzyme values in group B2. Taken together, in HCV-infected patients with HCC and LTx, mTORi immunosuppression + CNIs yields excellent outcomes. Unexpectedly, higher levels of liver inflammation and poorer outcomes occur with mTORi monotherapy in the HCV+ subgroup.

Abstract

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may result in severe health onditions, reduces quality of live, and affects high percentages of the adult population. Due to recent changes in the German health care regulations, mandibular advancement devices (MAD) will become available as a treatment option for OSA to a greater extent for general dentists and their patients. Methods: A guideline development group consisting of nine members representing four German dental and medical organizations was formed, in order to provide critical information and orientation to the main stakeholders (dentists and patients), regarding the use of MAD for the treatment of OSA within dental sleep medicine. Results: This guideline aims to inform physicians and dentists, particularly those with acquired qualification/specialization in sleep medicine (or in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders), as well as experts, payers, and patients. It delivers recommendations on technical requirements for MAD prescription and fabrication, clinical procedures, maintenance, and follow-up procedures. Conclusion: A MAD should be designed for long-term therapy and must be a custom made, adjustable, bimaxillary retained two-splint system equipped with adjustable protrusive elements. The fabrication in a dental laboratory should be based on dental impressions or scans and three-dimensional registrations of the starting position taken with a bite gauge. © 2022, The Author(s).

Tumour progression despite bridging was an independent risk factor affecting overall survival (hazard ratio 1.80; P = 0.005). For patients within the Milan criteria (MC) at listing, mean overall survival was longer for those with controlled versus progressive disease (6.8 versus 5.8 years; P

Abstract

Background: The corona pandemic is changing the framework conditions for medical studies and continuing education as well as the work with patients and within teams. Systematic reflection and communication about experiences and ways of dealing with them forms the basis for successful learning in and out of the crisis. Therefore, we designed a 90-minute workshop "Corona-Debriefing" for students and physicians in specialist-training in family medicine (ÄiW) using three successive moderated interaction phases: Questionnaire survey via tele-dialogue voting (TED) with immediate presentation of results and discussion, moderated experience reports on the categories risk/assessment/support/coping and finally moderated group discussions in small groups to collect "best practice" examples of crisis management. Objective: We tested "Corona-Debriefing" as a pilot test with 48 participants (TN) in July 2020 (30 present, 14 online) in order to assess mental stress and risk perception of participants plus formative/brief summative evaluation of the workshop. Methods: The PHQ-4 with its subscales GAD-2 (anxiety) and PHQ-2 (depression) was used to assess mental stress; risk assessments were made by means of self-constructed 5-point Likert-scales for the dimensions person/society/health/economy. A formative evaluation was carried out by means of a questionnaire at the end of the event; the brief summative assessment was asked for by means of a school grading scale. Results: 37 complete TED questionnaires and 22 evaluations were obtained. TN showed a low personal risk assessment, but considerable fears about social and economic developments. Needs are seen mainly in improvements regarding organization, protective equipment and technical communication (e.g. official recommendations for action). The workshop was rated "good" or "very good" in 95% of the evaluations. Criticism was directed at the limited time available, the narrowing of topics by moderators and the desire for (even) more, Hintergrund: Die Corona-Pandemie verändert die Rahmenbedingungen von Studium und Weiterbildung in der Medizin ebenso wie die Arbeit am Patienten und im Team. Eine systematische Reflektion und Kommunikation über Erfahrungen und Umgangsweisen bildet die Grundlage für ein erfolgreiches Lernen in und aus der Krise. Wir konzipierten daher einen 90-Minuten Workshop "Corona-Debriefing" für Studierende und Ärzt*innen in Weiterbildung (ÄiW) mittels drei aufeinanderfolgenden moderierten Interaktionsphasen: Fragebogenerhebung per Tele-Dialog-Voting (TED) mit unmittelbarer Ergebnisvorstellung und Diskussion, moderierte Erlebnisberichte zu den Kategorien Gefährdung / Bewertung / Unterstützung / Bewältigung und schließlich moderierte Gruppendiskussionen in Kleingruppen zur Sammlung von "Best-Practice" - Beispielen zur Krisenbewältigung. Ziele: Wir erprobten "Corona-Debriefing" als Pilottest mit 48 ÄiW als Teilnehmern (TN) im Juli 2020 (30 präsent, 14 online) mit den Auswertungszielen psychische Belastung / Gefährdungseinschätzung der TN, inhaltliche Schwerpunkte, technische Umsetzung, Gesamtbewertung und Kritik am Format. Methoden: Zur Erfassung der psychischen Belastung diente der PHQ-4 mit seinen Subskalen GAD-2 (Ängstlichkeit) und PHQ-2 (Depressivität); Gefährdungseinschätzungen wurden mit selbstkonstruierten 5-Punkt-Likert-Skalen zu den Dimensionen Person/Gesellschaft/Gesundheit/Ökonomie erhoben. Eine formative und Evaluation erfolgte mittels Fragebogen am Veranstaltungsende, die Gesamtbewertung wurde mittels Schulnotenskala erfragt. Ergebnisse: Ausgewertet werden konnten 37 komplette TED-Fragebögen und 22 Evaluationen. TN zeigten eine geringe persönliche Gefährdungseinschätzung, jedoch erhebliche Befürchtungen zu gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Entwicklungen. Bedarfe werden v.a. in Organisation, Schutzausrüstung und fachlicher Kommunikation (z.B. offiziellen Handlungsempfehlungen) gesehen. Der Workshop wurde in 95% der Evaluationen "gut" oder "sehr gut" bewertet. Kritik
