Both patients and physicians of the University Hospital of Erlangen would welcome means of digital data exchange between patients and the hospital. This work presents a system's architecture, FHIR based data model, security measures, and application flow based on patient's smartphones and a public cloud infrastructure to obtain patient reported outcome measures and merge that information with clinical routine data.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with immune dysregulation, particularly overexpression of T helper 2 cytokines. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 deficiency, a primary immune disorder, can exacerbate atopic dermatitis. Dupilumab, an IL-4 and IL-13 receptor antagonist, has demonstrated efficacy in controlling severe, recalcitrant atopic dermatitis by mitigating T helper 2-driven inflammation.

The use of the gastrocnemius muscle flap has become an excellent choice for coverage of Knee Defects. However, the surgical management of gastrocnemius muscle flap in the injuries of the popliteal artery remains a challenging therapeutic problem. The purpose of this manuscript is to present a case of a successful knee gastrocnemius flap in a patient with popliteal artery injuries.

Background: There is a high prevalence of depression among refugee youth in low- and middle-income countries, yet depression trajectories are understudied. This study examined depression trajectories, and factors associated with trajectories, among urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study with refugee youth aged 16-24 in Kampala, Uganda.

Introduction: While the fact that visual stimuli synthesized by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) may evoke emotional reactions is documented, the precise mechanisms that connect the strength and type of such reactions with the ways of how ANNs are used to synthesize visual stimuli are yet to be discovered. Understanding these mechanisms allows for designing methods that synthesize images attenuating or enhancing selected emotional states, which may provide unobtrusive and widely-applicable treatment of mental dysfunctions and disorders.
Methods: The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), a type of ANN used in computer vision tasks which models the ways humans solve visual tasks, was applied to synthesize ("dream" or "hallucinate") images with no semantic content to maximize activations of neurons in precisely-selected layers in the CNN.

Introduction: This paper examines the use of local antibiotic therapy in one-stage septic revision surgery for late periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). This case study suggests that morselized bone allografts impregnated with antibiotics in powder form are a preferable alternative to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) because they can generate higher local antibiotic concentrations. Current research also recommends using vancomycin and aminoglycosides as the preferred choice of antibiotics, as they may have low diffusion in tissues when administered intravenously, but are effective when administered locally.
