Topology for gaze analyses - Raw data segmentation.

Recent years have witnessed a remarkable growth in the way mathematics, informatics, and computer science can process data. In disciplines such as machine learning, pattern recognition, computer vision, computational neurology, molecular biology, information retrieval, etc., many new methods have been developed to cope with the ever increasing amount and complexity of the data.

Validation of core competencies during residency training in anaesthesiology.

Background And Goal: Curriculum development for residency training is increasingly challenging in times of financial restrictions and time limitations. Several countries have adopted the CanMEDS framework for medical education as a model into their curricula of specialty training. The purpose of the present study was to validate the competency goals, as derived from CanMEDS, of the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine of the Berlin Charité University Medical Centre, by conducting a staff survey.

The combinations C1 esterase inhibitor with coagulation factor XIII and N-acetylcysteine with tirilazad mesylate reduce the leukocyte adherence in an experimental endotoxemia in rats.

The study's objective was to determine the effects of the administration of combinations of C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) with coagulation factor XIII (F XIII) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) with tirilazad mesylate (TM) on leukocyte adherence and on intestinal functional capillary density during experimental endotoxemia in rats. In a prospective, randomized, controlled animal study, 40 male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups. Group 1 (CON group) served as control group.

Effects of N-acetylcysteine and tirilazad mesylate on intestinal functional capillary density, leukocyte adherence, mesenteric plasma extravasation and cytokine levels in experimental endotoxemia in rats.

Introduction: The study's objective was to determine the effects of the administration of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and of tirilazad mesylate (TM) on intestinal functional capillary density, mesenteric plasma extravasation, leukocyte adherence and on cytokine release during experimental endotoxemia in rats.

Methods: In a prospective, randomized, controlled animal study, 80 male Wistar rats were examined in 2 test series. Both series were divided into 4 groups.

[Acute renal failure - anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy].

Anticoagulation plays a pivotal role for the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy. The equilibrium between avoiding bleeding complications and keeping the system open considering patients} multiple diseases demands an individual and dynamic reasoned anticoagulation regime. For patients at risk of bleeding citrate anticoagulation has shown high efficacy and lesser bleeding complications than the standard heparin or other alternative anticoagulants such as regional protamin-heparin-, prostaglandin-heparin-anticoagulation or no anticoagulation.
