Perennial disaster patterns in Central Europe since 2000 and implications for hospital preparedness planning - a cross-sectional analysis.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Heidelberg University, Medical Faculty Heidelberg, Center for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Pediatric Neurology and Metabolic Medicine, Im Neuenheimer Feld 430, 69120, Heidelberg, Germany.

The goal of this analysis is to describe seasonal disaster patterns in Central Europe in order to raise awareness and improve hospital disaster planning and resilience, particularly during peak events. Hospitals are essential pillars of a country's critical infrastructure, vital for sustaining healthcare services and supporting public well-being-a key issue of national security. Disaster planning for hospitals is crucial to ensure their functionality under special circumstances.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity and discriminatory ability of clinical outcomes, inflammatory activity, oxidative and vascular damage, and metabolic mechanisms for detecting significant improve maximum heart rate after physical activity training in individuals with psychiatric disorders and obesity comorbid using a longitudinal design and transdiagnostic perspective.

Methods: Patients with major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and, schizophrenia and with comorbid obesity (n = 29) were assigned to a 12-week structured physical exercise program. Peripheral blood biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular mechanisms, and metabolic activity, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance were assessed twice, before and after intervention.

Background: The Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE-ε4) allele is common in the population, but acts as the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the strength of the association, there is notable heterogeneity in the population including a strong modifying effect of genetic ancestry, with the APOE-ε4 allele showing a stronger association among individuals of European ancestry (EUR) compared to individuals of African ancestry (AFR). Given this heterogeneity, we sought to identify genetic modifiers of APOE-ε4 related to cognitive decline leveraging APOE-ε4 stratified and interaction genome-wide association analyses (GWAS).

Background: High age is the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Approved drugs that slow down the aging process have the potential to be repurposed for the primary prevention of AD. The aim of our project was to use a reverse translational approach to identify such drug candidates in epidemiological data followed by validation in cell-based models and animal models of aging and AD.

Background: Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) is a measure of long-term glycemic control. In a previous study using a single measure of A1C, we showed that it is related to postmortem cerebrovascular pathology. Here, we use annually collected A1C data to study the relationship of A1C average and variability over time with neuropathology in a large number of older adults with and without diabetes.
