A fast protocol for multicenter and multiparametric quantitative MRI studies in brain tumor patients using vendor sequences.

Background: Multiparametric quantitative MRI (mp-qMRI) provides noninvasive, quantitative measurements sensitive to a variety of tissue properties. In brain tumors (BTs), longitudinal relaxation time (T1), effective transverse relaxation time (T2*), transverse relaxation time (T2), water content (HO), and quantitative susceptibility (χ) give valuable insights into the microenvironment. To generate large multicenter datasets, protocols need to be short and implementable on any scanner.

Understanding frailty and its opposites from community-dwelling older peoples' perspectives: A phenomenological qualitative study.

Background: the global population is ageing. As older people become more susceptible to frailty, an increase in frailty prevalence is also expected. Although frailty has been defined before in research, older peoples' perceptions of frailty do not always coincide with those used in research or medical settings.

Dual-Energy CT Material Decomposition: The Value in the Detection of Lymph Node Metastasis from Breast Cancer.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)-based material decomposition algorithm for iodine quantification and fat fraction analysis to detect lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: 30 female patients (mean age, 63.12 ± 14.

Differences in upper body posture between patients with lumbar spine syndrome and healthy individuals under the consideration of sex, age and BMI.

Background: Work-related forced postures, such as prolonged standing work, can lead to complaints in the lower back. Current research suggests that there is increased evidence of associations between patients with low back pain (LBP) and reduced lordosis in the lumbar spine and generally less spinal tilt in the sagittal plane. The aim of this study is to extend the influence of LBP to other parameters of upper body posture in standing, taking into account the rotational and frontal planes.

Impact of COVID-19 on the treatment of depressive patients in Germany-a gap in care for the mentally ill?

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a higher incidence of depression and a worsening of psychiatric conditions, while pre-existing constraints of the healthcare system and safety regulations limited psychiatric care.

Aims: We investigated the impact of the pandemic on the clinical care of patients with a single episode (SE-MDD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) in Germany.

Methods: Nationwide inpatient data were extracted from the German Institute for Hospital Remuneration System for 2020 and 2021 (depression data) and the Robert Koch Institute (COVID-19 incidence).

Family-centered delirium prevention and treatment using video calls: the FACE Delirium trial.

Purpose: In the FACE Delirium trial, we investigated the feasibility of a structured FAmily-CEntered delirium prevention and treatment during the corona pandemic.

Methods: Patients hospitalized in a German geriatric medicine department were included in this single-center, prospective, single-arm feasibility study. Their relatives received a short training on delirium and volunteers or paid staff members facilitated video calls.

Dual-Energy CT-based Opportunistic Volumetric Bone Mineral Density Assessment of the Distal Radius.

Background In patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs), low bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with bone substitute use during surgery and bone nonunion, but BMD information is not regularly available. Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of dual-energy CT (DECT)-based BMD assessment from routine examinations in the distal radius and the relationship between the obtained BMD values, the occurrence of DRFs, bone nonunion, and use of surgical bone substitute. Materials and Methods Scans in patients who underwent routine dual-source DECT in the distal radius between January 2016 and December 2021 were retrospectively acquired.

Testing the Level of Agreement between Two Methodological Approaches of the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) for Occupational Health Practice-An Exemplary Application in the Field of Dentistry.

Background: The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) is used for the risk assessment of workplace-related activities. Thus far, the paper and pen method (RULA-PP) has been predominantly used for this purpose. In the present study, this method was compared with an RULA evaluation based on kinematic data using inertial measurement units (RULA-IMU).

[What words do older people use regarding ageing and frailty: a Delphi study].

Background: Frailty is a term widely and increasingly used in describing a condition of individuals experiencing multiple problems in one or more domains of human functioning, physical, psychological, and/or social. Frailty is a common condition among older people. Yet, it seems older people barely use this term.

Predictive Factors of Acute Symptomatic Seizures in Patients With Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusion.

Introduction: Acute symptomatic seizures (ASz) after ischemic stroke are associated with increased mortality; therefore, identifying predictors of ASz is important. The purpose of this study was to analyze predictors of ASz in a population of patients with ischemic stroke due to large arterial vessel occlusion (LVO).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study examined patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by LVO between 2016 and 2020.

Mechanical thrombectomy does not increase the risk of acute symptomatic seizures in patients with an ischaemic stroke: a propensity score matching study.

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy and systemic thrombolysis are important therapies for stroke patients. However, there is disagreement about the accompanying risk of acute symptomatic seizures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with an acute ischaemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion was performed.

Lung Ultrasound Effectively Detects HIV-Associated Interstitial Pulmonary Disease.

Objectives To prospectively evaluate lung ultrasound in comparison with radiography and computed tomography (CT) for detecting HIV-related lung diseases. Methods Ultrasound examinations in HIV-positive patients were evaluated by three raters; available conventional imaging was evaluated by another rater. Results were compared with each other and the definite diagnosis.
