The efficient direct integration of real-time medical device data is a promising approach to improve patient care enabling a direct and eminent intervention. This study presents a comprehensive approach for integrating real-time medical device data into clinical environments using the HL7® FHIR® standards and IEEE 11073 Service-Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC). The study proposes a conceptual framework and an opensource proof-of-concept implementation for real-time data integration within the Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) at UKSH.

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the use of AI in the clinical domain. In order to keep pace with this development, a framework should be created in which clinical AI models can be easily trained, managed and applied. In our study, we propose a clinical AI platform that supports the development cycle and application of clinical AI models.

Maternal mental state has been associated with offspring NR3C1 promotor and IGF2/H19 imprinting control region (ICR) methylation patterns. However, there is a lack of prospective studies with long-term follow-up.

Antibiotic resistance and persistence have been identified as two major bacterial survival mechanisms, and several studies have shown a rapid and strong selection of resistance or persistence mutants under repeated drug treatment. Yet, little is known about the impact of the environmental conditions on resistance and persistence evolution and the potential interplay between both phenotypes.

Here, we aim to review the association of maternal perinatal health with offspring neurodevelopment, providing an update on (self-)regulation problems, hypothesized mechanistic pathways, progress and challenges, and implications for mental health.
Recent Findings: (1) Meta-analyses confirm that maternal perinatal mental distress is associated with (self-)regulation problems which constitute cognitive, behavioral, and affective social-emotional problems, while exposure to positive parental mental health has a positive impact.
