Clinical Division of Haematology and Haemostaseology, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
Background: Cases of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccinated patients with thrombocytopenia, elevated D-dimer, and elevated platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibody levels with- and without thrombosis have been reported. No recommendations regarding the duration of anticoagulation have been made, because data on the long-term course beyond the first weeks is lacking.
Objective: To report on the treatment, medical course, and longitudinal follow-up of laboratory parameters in patients with vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT).
Differences in Hemodynamic, Hormonal and Heart Rate Variability Parameters in Complication-Free Pregnancies Compared to Individuals with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Preeclampsia: An Observational Retrospective Analysis.

June 2021
Otto Loewi Research Center, Division of Physiology, Medical University of Graz, 8036 Graz, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the differences in heart rate, hormone levels, and stress indicators in women who experienced healthy pregnancies versus those with preeclampsia or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) after childbirth.
- Data from 60 women were collected at two different times (16 and 48 weeks postpartum), focusing on various health metrics like heart rate variability and hormone levels such as cortisol and testosterone.
- Results indicated that women with GDM had significantly higher testosterone and cortisol levels, suggesting that they experienced more chronic stress compared to women with healthy pregnancies and those with preeclampsia.

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Medical University of Vienna, 1090, Vienna, Austria.
Background: The treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN) is often challenging due to medical complications as well as high relapse and mortality rates. Studies about effective treatment options for people with AN are particularly scarce in the adolescent population. This paper is a study protocol for a multi-center cohort study assessing the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a new, manualized treatment program, the "Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adolescents and Young Adults" (MANTRa) compared to psychotherapeutic treatment as usual (TAU).

Department of Paediatric and Adolescent Surgery, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.
Background: Patients following repair of an esophageal atresia (EA) or tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) carry an increased risk of long-term cardiopulmonary malaise. The role of the airway microbiome in EA/TEF patients remains unclear.
Methods: All EA/TEF patients treated between 1980 and 2010 were invited to a prospective clinical examination, spirometry, and spiroergometry.
Assessment of pharmacokinetics for microvessel proliferation by DCE-MRI for early detection of physeal bone bridge formation in an animal model.
MAGMA
October 2017
BioTechMed, University of Graz, Universitaetsplatz 3, 8010, Graz, Austria.
Objectives: Bone bridge formation occurs after physeal lesions and can lead to growth arrest if not reversed. Previous investigations on the underlying mechanisms of this formation used histological methods. Therefore, this study aimed to apply a minimally invasive method using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI).
