[Made open: The state of international evidence-based research on Open Educational Resources (OER)].

Open Educational Resources (OER) are an integral part of the debate about the digitization of education. This article reviews the state of international empirical research on OER to identify possible desiderata for a future research agenda. A systematic mapping approach is used to map the empirical English-speaking research landscape.

Electronic Transitions in Different Redox States of Trinuclear 5,6,11,12,17,18-Hexaazatrinaphthylene-Bridged Titanium Complexes: Spectroelectrochemistry and Quantum Chemistry.

Multinuclear transition metal complexes bridged by ligands with extended π-electronic systems show a variety of complex electronic transitions and electron transfer reactions. While a systematic understanding of the photochemistry and electrochemistry has been attained for binuclear complexes, much less is known about trinuclear complexes such as hexaphenyl-5,6,11,12,17,18-hexaazatrinaphthylene-tristitanocene [(Cp Ti) HATN(Ph) ]. The voltammogram of [(Cp Ti) HATN(Ph) ] shows six oxidation and three reduction waves.

Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Magnetic and Electrochemical Properties of Highly Phenyl Substituted Trinuclear 5,6,11,12,17,18-Hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATNPh)-Bridged Titanium Complexes.

Trinuclear titanium complexes coordinated by one ligand with three coordination sites have shown properties of mixed valency and a high number of reversible redox steps. Herein we report on the hexaphenyl-substituted derivative (CpTi)(μ-HATNPh) (2). On reaction of 2 with the ferrocenium salt [CpFe]BF, the cationic complexes [(CpTi)(μ-HATNPh)] ( n = 1-3; 3-5) become available in a selective way.

[No registration of complications for implants used in gynaecological surgery].

Introduction: In recent years, many new surgical implants (biological and synthetic) for female urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery have been launched in Denmark. In the literature, complications have been reported in up to 40% of cases depending on the type of operation, 2-5% as serious complications. An implant can achieve CE-marking if it seems likely that it is substantially equivalent to an implant already on the market.

[Surgical treatment of female urinary incontinence].

Introduction: During the last decade, minimal invasive procedures have been introduced for treatment of urinary incontinence (UI) in women leading to shorter hospitalisation and fewer complications. The aim of this study was to outline clinical practice and attitudes among Danish UI surgeons.

Material And Methods: Surgeons performing UI procedures were identified and mailed a questionnaire in 2007 concerning 2006.

A Danish national survey of women operated with mid-urethral slings in 2001.

Objective: To perform a national survey on self-reported cure, satisfaction and complications four years after mid-urethral sling (MUS) for urinary stress incontinence in Danish women operated in 2001.

Design: A postal questionnaire survey.

Population: All Danish women who received an MUS operation in 2001 extracted from the Danish National Patient Register.

[Urinary incontinence surgery in Denmark 2001-2003].

Introduction: The centralisation of surgical activity is an important aspect of the ongoing planning of the Danish Healthcare System. Knowledge of the actual status is crucial in the process of decision. In this article incontinence surgery in Denmark, including the frequency of complications, during a three year period is outlined.

[Bilateral suprapubic abscessses five years after incontinence surgery].

This report presents a case of vaginal erosion and bilateral suprabupic abscesses five years after insertion of an intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) midurethral incontinence sling in a 53-year-old female patient. Partial removal was insufficient. After complete removal, the patient achieved full recovery.

Does the tension-free vaginal tape procedure (TVT) affect the voiding function over time? Pressure-flow studies 1 year and 3(1/2) years after TVT.

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the voiding function over time after the TVT procedure for stress incontinence.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence were included in the study. For voiding function assessment the patients were asked if voiding had changed postoperatively, and objectively uroflowmetry, residual urine measurement and pressure-flow were performed preoperatively, 1 year and 3(1/2) years postoperatively.

Erosion, defective healing and extrusion after tension-free urethropexy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

A case-control study was performed in two departments performing tension-free urethropexy for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. During a period of 4.5 years, 127 cases of tension-free vaginal tape operations (TVT) and 42 cases of intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) were performed.

Should measurement of maximum urinary flow rate and residual urine volume be a part of a "minimal care" assessment programme in female incontinence?

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of routine measurements of urinary flow rate and residual urine volume as a part of a "minimal care" assessment programme for women with urinary incontinence in detecting clinical significant bladder emptying problems.

Material And Methods: Four hundred and eight women were examined and treated in an open-access, interdisciplinary incontinence clinic. A standardized programme for investigation and primarily non-surgical treatment of incontinence was applied.

Does the tension-free vaginal tape procedure affect the voiding phase? Pressure-flow studies before and 1 year after surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the voiding phase before and 1 year after surgery in women who underwent a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure for stress incontinence.

Patients And Methods: The study comprised 45 women with genuine stress urinary incontinence. To assess the voiding phase, patients were asked if their voiding had changed after surgery, and objectively the uroflowmetry, residual urine measurements and pressure-flow data were compared.
