Similar Age Preference but Different Attentional Control in Mandatory Hospitalized Individuals who Have Committed Sexual Offenses Against Children and Non-hospitalized Individuals With Self-Reported Sexual Interest in Children.

Thirty-two forensic persons who have committed sexual offenses against children (FP-SOC), 26 non-forensic persons of whom most have committed sexual offenses against children (NFP-SOC), 14 forensic persons who have not committed sexual offenses against children but have committed other offenses (FP-NSOC), and 53 non-forensic persons who have not committed sexual offenses against children (NFP-NSOC) were instructed to solve a cognitive task, while sexual distractors were presented simultaneously. Behavioral performance and eye movements were measured. FP-SOC and NFP-SOC exhibit same age preference patterns for children and adults, but both groups differ significantly with respect to sexual attentional control.

35 Review on endothelial cell loss of corneal transplants and possible correlations.

The Tissue Bank of the Upper Austrian Red Cross in Linz, Austria, is a multi-tissue bank, processing corneal transplants (for PKP, for DMEK, pre-cut DMEK), homografts (aortic valve, pulmonary valve, pulmonal patch), amnion grafts (frozen or cryopreserved), autologous tissues and cells (ovarian tissue, cranial bone, PBSC) as well as investigational medicinal products and ATMPs (Aposec, APN401).This presentation sums up retrospective data of the endothelial cell count of corneae at the time of first evaluation and at the time of reevaluation before transplantation as well as the cell count of pre-cut DMEK before transplantation.Regarding corneal grafts it is advisable to review the data of the previous years to find potential factors influencing the cell count of corneal tissue.

[Locked retrograde fibula nail for the surgical treatment of unstable ankle fractures].

Objective: Minimally invasive surgical stabilization of ankle fractures allowing postoperative full weight bearing.

Indications: Unstable ankle fractures type Weber B and C in the geriatric patients or with a critical soft tissue situation.

Contraindications: Ankle fractures in young patients and patients with high demands (relative contraindication).

Autocatalytic genetic networks modeled by piecewise-deterministic Markov processes.

In the present work we propose an alternative approach to model autocatalytic networks, called piecewise-deterministic Markov processes. These were originally introduced by Davis in 1984. Such a model allows for random transitions between the active and inactive state of a gene, whereas subsequent transcription and translation processes are modeled in a deterministic manner.

Hybrid modeling of noise reduction by a negatively autoregulated system.

We analyze the reduction of intrinsic noise caused by transition of a promoter between its active and inactive state in a negatively regulated genetic network, i.e., transcription of the gene is inhibited by its own gene product.
