[Distribution of Health Science Experts and Public Health Professionals in Public Health Departments in Germany].

Background: There is limited data on the number and distribution of academically qualified professionals in the field of Public Health at the lower level of health authorities. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of Public Health Professionals in Public Health Authorities in Germany.

Method: An online survey was conducted with the directors of the 376 German Public Health Authorities regarding the presence of Public Health Professionals and their views on personnel needs.

Adeno-Associated Virus Type 5 Infection via PDGFRα Is Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease in Systemic Sclerosis and Generates Composite Peptides and Epitopes Recognized by the Agonistic Immunoglobulins Present in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis.

Objective: The etiopathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is unknown. Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) are overexpressed in patients with SSc. Because PDGFRα is targeted by the adeno-associated virus type 5 (AAV5), we investigated whether AAV5 forms a complex with PDGFRα exposing epitopes that may induce the immune responses to the virus-PDGFRα complex.

Attentive transformer deep learning algorithm for intrusion detection on IoT systems using automatic Xplainable feature selection.

Recent years have witnessed an in-depth proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems linked to Industry 4.0 technology. The increasing rate of IoT device usage is associated with rising security risks resulting from malicious network flows during data exchange between the connected devices.

The Formation of -Strand Nine () in the Folding and Insertion of BamA from an Unfolded Form into Lipid Bilayers.

Transmembrane proteins span lipid bilayer membranes and serve essential functions in all living cells. Membrane-inserted domains are of either α-helical or -barrel structure. Despite their biological importance, the biophysical mechanisms of the folding and insertion of proteins into membranes are not well understood.

Heart-Focused Anxiety Affects Behavioral Cardiac Risk Factors and Quality of Life: A Follow-Up Study Using a Psycho-Cardiological Rehabilitation Concept.

Background: Heart-focused anxiety (HFA) raises the risk for adverse outcomes in patients with heart disease. Despite this great importance, it is rarely assessed in clinical practice. Three dimensions are commonly defined in the context of HFA: heart-related fear, avoidance, and attention.
