Abusive head trauma and crying infant-Public awareness of newborn and infant trauma.

Aim: Crying seems to be a common trigger for abusive head trauma (AHT), which is the leading cause of fatalities from physical abuse in infants. Our objective was to evaluate knowledge of AHT, crying infants and correct behavioural measures in a general population.

Methods: An online questionnaire (LimeSurvey) was created to assess the risk of shaking.

Superimposition of dental models to determine orthodontic tooth movements : Comparison of different superimposition methods in vitro and in vivo.

Purpose: Using a commercial orthodontic treatment planning system, tooth movements were simulated to analyse how precise predefined movements can be determined by three different superimposition methods. Additionally, a retrospective analysis on clinical patient models before and after orthodontic treatment was performed to analyse possible differences in determination of clinical tooth movements with these methods.

Methods: (1) A hexapod system was used to perform the tooth movements in physical maxillary dental models (N = 70).

Capturing Diabetes-Related Distress and Burden From the Perspective of Patients With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes: Protocol for an Explorative Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases worldwide and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life. Many patients experience high diabetes-related distress as well as depression and anxiety symptoms, which are associated with poor diabetes self-management. As disease management is a central component in diabetes treatment, poor management enhances the occurrence of micro- and macrovascular complications.

Results of the Cologne Corona surveillance (CoCoS) study - a prospective population-based cohort study: incidence data and potential underestimation of new SARS-CoV-2 adult infections by health authorities.

Background: Current incidence estimates of SARS-CoV-2 in Germany rely to a large extent on case notifications. However, the large number of mild or asymptomatic infections is likely to result in underestimation. Population-based studies can provide valid estimates of the SARS-CoV-2 incidence and thus support health authorities to monitor the epidemiological situation and to initiate, maintain, strengthen or relax effective countermeasures.

The alcohol-intoxicated trauma patient: impact on imaging and radiation exposure.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of alcohol intoxication in trauma patients in regard to its impact on application of computed tomography (CT) and associated radiation exposure.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from a continuous patient cohort.

Inclusion Criteria: admission to the emergency room of an urban Level 1 trauma center with trauma team activation during a 12-month period (Jan 1st-Dec 31st 2012).
