Marburg University Medical Center has been introducing a comprehensive health information system since 1999, using a single-vendor application framework with an integrated generator tool for the development of clinical applications. To find out if this architecture and our participative software engineering approach can be considered a step towards a responsive infrastructure, we compared the situation after the first deployment phase (basically a holistic approach) with the situation after the system was further developed and adapted to the users' needs using the generator tool approach. We collected system statistics and conducted user satisfaction surveys in 2001/02 and 2003 using standardized measurements. The survey results showed that user involvement as well as system content were judged significantly higher after the second deployment phase. Insofar, we could demonstrate the feasibility of our approach. However, definite statements concerning the superiority of the generator tool approach to other concepts are not yet possible. We will continue our assessment, and we strongly suggest further studies in other institutions introducing comparable clinical functionality.

Aleutian mink disease (mink plasmacytosis) is a severe immune complex-mediated condition caused by the Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV), the most significant pathogen affecting mink health in the industry. Several studies have shown that AMDV epidemics can result in millions to tens of millions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year. In this study, we developed a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR technology (TaqMan-qPCR) for the specific, sensitive, and reproducible detection and quantification of AMDV in mink tissues by the VP2 gene, achieving detection limits as low as 1.

Introduction: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is considered the second most common chronic health condition in children. Untreated SDB is associated with long-term health consequences. Our objective was to translate the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) into Lithuanian and culturally adapt and validate the translated version in order to improve the diagnosis of SDB in Lithuanian children.

Given that proteins with minor variations in amino acid sequences cause distinct functional outcomes, identifying and quantifying similar proteins is crucial, but remains a long-standing challenge. Herein, we present a two-dimensional orthogonal fluorescence and chemiluminescence design strategy for the probe DCM-SA, which is sequentially activated by albumin-mediated hydrolysis, exhibiting light-up fluorescence and photo-induced cycloaddition generating chemiluminescence, enabling orthogonal signal amplification for discrimination of subtle differences between similar proteins. By orthogonalizing these dual-mode signals, a two-dimensional work curve of fluorescence and chemiluminescence is established to distinguish and quantify similar proteins HSA and BSA.
