How stressful was the COVID-19 pandemic for residents specializing in family practice?. A study of stressors and psychological well-being of physicians in further training specializing in family practice (GP trainees) within a pandemic context.

Background: The coronavirus pandemic poses many challenges for medical personnel. During the first phase of the pandemic, psychological stress became increasingly apparent. This was a complex and difficult situation, especially for physician residents specializing in family practice (GP trainees), who were not yet able to draw on years of practical experience.

Measurement of the helicity asymmetry for the reaction : The CBELSA/TAPS Collaboration.

A measurement of the double-polarization observable for the reaction is reported. The data were taken with the CBELSA/TAPS experiment at the ELSA facility in Bonn using the Bonn frozen-spin butanol (C H OH) target, which provided longitudinally-polarized protons. Circularly-polarized photons were produced via bremsstrahlung of longitudinally-polarized electrons.

Observation of the pη^{'} Cusp in the New Precise Beam Asymmetry Σ Data for γp→pη.

Data on the beam asymmetry Σ in the photoproduction of η mesons off protons are reported for tagged photon energies from 1130 to 1790 MeV (mass range from W=1748  MeV to W=2045  MeV). The data cover the full solid angle that allows for a precise moment analysis. For the first time, a strong cusp effect in a polarization observable has been observed that is an effect of a branch-point singularity at the pη^{'} threshold [E_{γ}=1447  MeV (W=1896  MeV)].

NKG2C Natural Killer Cells in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Are Associated With Cytomegalovirus Viremia and Poor Outcomes in Lung Allograft Recipients.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which limits survival in lung allograft recipients. Natural killer (NK) cells that express the NKG2C receptor mediate CMV-specific immune responses. We hypothesized that NKG2C NK cells responding to CMV in the lung allograft would reduce CMV-related inflammation and would improve CLAD-free survival.

Patient selection and general practitioners' perception of collaboration in medication review.

Background: Implementation of collaborative Medication Review (MR) into routine care faces several barriers.

Objective: The study aim was to gain information on patient selection for a MR by general practitioners (GPs). GP selection was compared to objective selection criteria on identifying patients, who would benefit from a MR the most.

[Interface Problems Between Inpatient, GP and Outpatient Specialist Care: Viewpoint of General Practitioners in Dresden].

Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify interface problems between inpatient, GP and outpatient specialist care from the perspective of general practitioners in Dresden, especially in older multimorbid patients.

Methods: The data were collected in the context of the pilot study "Multimedication and its Consequences for the Primary Care of Patients in Saxony" and included guided interviews with 7 general practitioners. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to the inductive content analysis of Mayring.

[Quality of documented diagnosis in primary care - An analysis using the example of thyroid disorders].

Background: Routine data of statutory health insurance (SHI) provide a great potential for evaluating the healthcare situation in Germany by providing, e. g., morbidity estimates.

Why do family doctors prescribe potentially inappropriate medication to elderly patients?

Background: Based on changes in pharmacokinetics and -dynamics in elderly patients, there are potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) that should be avoided in patients aged ≥ 65 years. Current studies showed prescription rates of PIM between 22.5 and 28.

N(1520) 3/2(-) helicity amplitudes from an energy-independent multipole analysis based on new polarization data on photoproduction of neutral pions.

New data on the polarization observables T, P, and H for the reaction γp→pπ(0) are reported. The results are extracted from azimuthal asymmetries when a transversely polarized butanol target and a linearly polarized photon beam are used. The data were taken at the Bonn electron stretcher accelerator ELSA using the CBELSA/TAPS detector.

Bronchoalveolar lavage cell immunophenotyping facilitates diagnosis of lung allograft rejection.

Supplementary methods to identify acute rejection and to distinguish rejection from infection may improve clinical outcomes for lung allograft recipients. We hypothesized that distinct bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cell profiles are associated with rejection and infection. We retrospectively compared 2939 BAL cell counts and immunophenotypes against concomitantly obtained transbronchial biopsies and microbiologic studies.

First measurement of the helicity asymmetry for γp → pπ0 in the resonance region.

The first measurement of the helicity dependence of the photoproduction cross section of single neutral pions off protons is reported for photon energies from 600 to 2300 MeV, covering nearly the full solid angle. The data are compared to predictions from the SAID, MAID, and BnGa partial wave analyses. Strikingly large differences between data and predictions are observed, which are traced to differences in the helicity amplitudes of well-known and established resonances.

General practitioners' views on polypharmacy and its consequences for patient health care.

Background: Multimorbidity is defined as suffering from coexistent chronic conditions. Multimorbid patients demand highly complex patient-centered care which often includes polypharmacy, taking an average of six different drugs per day. Adverse drug reactions, adverse drug events and medication errors are all potential consequences of polypharmacy.

Well-established nucleon resonances revisited by double-polarization measurements.

The first measurement is reported of the double-polarization observable G in the photoproduction of neutral pions off protons, covering the photon energy range from 620 to 1120 MeV and the full solid angle. G describes the correlation between the photon polarization plane and the scattering plane for protons polarized along the direction of the incoming photon. The observable is highly sensitive to contributions from baryon resonances.

Linalool dehydratase-isomerase, a bifunctional enzyme in the anaerobic degradation of monoterpenes.

Castellaniella (ex Alcaligenes) defragrans strain 65Phen mineralizes monoterpenes in the absence of oxygen. Soluble cell extracts anaerobically catalyzed the isomerization of geraniol to linalool and the dehydration of linalool to myrcene. The linalool dehydratase was present in cells grown on monoterpenes, but not if grown on acetate.
