Road Traffic Accidents, Climbing Frames, or Trampolines: What Harms Children in the 2020s?

Background In the modern Western world, activities and the daily routine of children have changed over time. Detailed analyses of the mechanisms of injuries and current fracture patterns in children are rare. The aim of the study was to elicit and investigate the most dangerous leisure and sporting activities leading to fractures in children today.

Correction to: Evaluation of two rapid molecular test systems to establish an algorithm for fast identification of bacterial pathogens from positive blood cultures.

Table 2 in the originally published article is not correct and is a duplicate of Table 3. The error happened during typesetting. The correct Table 2 is shown below.

Evaluation of two rapid molecular test systems to establish an algorithm for fast identification of bacterial pathogens from positive blood cultures.

Fast identification of pathogens directly from positive blood cultures is of highest importance to supply an adequate therapy of bloodstream infections (BSI). There are several platforms providing molecular-based identification, detection of antimicrobial resistance genes, or even a full antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Two of such test systems allowing rapid diagnostics were assessed in this study: The Biofire FilmArray® and the Genmark ePlex®, both fully automated test system with a minimum of hands-on time.

[Anesthesiology and Outcome - Impact of the Perioperative Process].

In recent years, the role of the anesthesiologist has turned tremendously from the "anaesthesia doctor" into a perioperative physician and risk specialist. Patients are older, multimorbid, and are called up for more and more extensive surgery and interventions. Socioeconomic aspects have grown in importance.

[Incident reporting systems in anesthesiology--methods and benefits using the example of PaSOS].

Preventing patient harm is one of the main tasks for the field of anesthesiology from early on. With the introduction of the national German incident reporting system PaSOS, which is hosted by the German anesthesia society, anesthesiology is again leading the field of patient safety. Important elements, success factors and background information for the introduction of successful incident reporting systems in an organization are given.

[Innovative training for enhancing patient safety. Safety culture and integrated concepts].

Introduction: Patient safety is determined by the performance safety of the medical team. Errors in medicine are amongst the leading causes of death of hospitalized patients. These numbers call for action.

Extensive glycosylation changes revealed by lectin histochemistry in morphologically normal prenatal tissues of the mouse mutant undulated (un/un).

Recently we observed that in human embryos and fetuses with a variety of malformations, not only malformed tissues, but also several non-malformed tissues displayed alterations in the glycosylation pattern. It was the aim of this work to investigate this more or less inexplicable phenomenon under experimental conditions. To this end, we studied a well known mouse model, the mouse mutant undulated, which has an exactly defined genetic defect (substitution in the pax-1 gene) leading to a localized malformation in the vertebral column.
