Biomechanical evaluation of the primary stability of pedicle screws after augmentation with an innovative bone stabilizing system.

Introduction: In today's aging population, diminished bone quality often affects the outcome of surgical treatment. This occurs especially when surgical implants must be fixed to bone, as it occurs when lumbar fusion is performed with pedicle screws. Besides Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) injection, several techniques have been developed to augment pedicle screws.

[Fruit and vegetable intake in Germany: results of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1)].

Until now, the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society on fruit and vegetable intake have not been reached by the majority of the population. In the first wave of the"German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults" (DEGS1), which was conducted from 2008 to 2011, food consumption was determined with a validated food frequency questionnaire in a representative random sample of the 18-79-year-old residential population in Germany (n=7116). The number of portions of fruit and vegetables consumed on average every day and the number of persons meeting the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables per day were calculated.

[Prevalence and temporal trend of known diabetes mellitus: results of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1)].

The first wave of the "German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults" (DEGS1, 2008-2011) allows for up-to-date, representative prevalence estimates of known diabetes amongst the 18- to 79-year-old resident population of Germany. Temporal trends can be shown by comparing the survey findings with those of the "German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998" (GNHIES98). The definition of known diabetes was based on self-reports in physician-administered interviews that asked respondents if they had ever been diagnosed with diabetes by a doctor or were on anti-diabetic medication.
