Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
An association of treatment-related myelotoxicity with female gender has been previously suggested. However, a systematic analysis of the prognostic relevance of radiochemotherapy-related cytopenia involving the different blood cell lineages is lacking.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed cytopenia during temozolomide-based concomitant radiochemotherapy (RCT) in 493 glioma patients. Histological grading, molecular pathology, surgical procedures and median overall survival (OS) were recorded. The extent of cytopenia was correlated with gender and outcome.
RESULTS
Treatment-induced severe cytopenia (leuko-, lympho-, neutro- and thrombocytopenia) occurred much more often in female than in male glioma patients (40.8 vs. 13.9%, p-value <0.0001). In female patients with IDH-wildtype high-grade astrocytomas there was a negative correlation of severe leuko-, lympho- and thrombocytopenia during temozolomide RCT with OS (36 vs. 54, 37 vs. 54 and 36 vs. 57 weeks, respectively; all p-values <0.05). In male patients there was also a trend for this unfavorable effect. Additionally, severe cytopenia correlated with reduced temozolomide dose exposure during RCT (all p-values <0.05 in total cohort) and reduced dose exposure was independently associated with worse OS (p-values <0.05 in the total and female cohort).
CONCLUSION
Our data confirm that women are at higher risk for treatment-induced cytopenia during RCT which is associated with a significant decrease in OS. From our data, it appears plausible that reduced temozolomide dose exposure during RCT is at least in part responsible for this finding. Immunosuppression of patients with severe cytopenia may be an independent contributor to adverse outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
The prospective, randomized ERGO2 trial investigated the effect of fasting / calorie restricted ketogenic diet (KD-IF) on re-irradiation for recurrent brain tumors (Clinicaltrials.gov number: NCT01754350). The study did not meet its primary endpoint of improved progression-free survival in comparison to a standard diet (SD). We here report the results of the quality of life questionnaire, neurocognition testing, detailed analysis of the diet diaries and the alterations of metabolic parameters.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
50 Patients were randomized 1:1 to re-irradiation combined with either SD or KD-IF. The KD-IF schedule included 3 days of ketogenic diet (KD: 21–23 kcal/kg/d, carbohydrate intake limited to 50 g/d), followed by 3 days of fasting and again 3 days of KD. Follow-up included examination of cognition, quality of life and serum samples.
RESULTS
The 20 patients who completed KD-IF met the prespecified goals for calorie and carbohydrate restriction. In these, a decrease in leptin and insulin and an increase in uric acid was observed. The SD group had a lower calorie intake of 21 kcal/kg/d than the expected 30 kcal/kg/d. Neither quality of life nor cognition were affected by the diet. Low glucose emerged as a significant prognostic parameter in a best responder analysis.
CONCLUSION
The strict caloric goals of the ERGO2 trial could be achieved by patients with recurrent brain tumor. The unexpected lower calorie intake of the SD group might have hampered the interpretation of the trial. However, the short diet schedule already led to significant metabolic alterations, suggesting that short-term dietary interventions might be therapeutically useful, possibly combined with other modalities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Childbirth has been suggested to increase sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). This may vary by occupation; however, knowledge in this field remains limited. We explored SA and DP in the years before and after childbirth among women in four occupational groups and among those without any occupation.
Methods
We conducted a register-based study of nulliparous women aged 18-39 years, living in Sweden on December 31, 2004 (n = 492,504). Women were categorized into five skill-level based occupational groups and three childbirth groups; no childbirths within three years (B0), first childbirth in 2005 with no childbirth within three years (B1), and first childbirth in 2005 with at least one more birth within three years (B1+). We compared crude and standardized annual mean SA (in spells>14 days) and DP net days in the three years before and three years after first childbirth date.
Results
Women in the highest skill level occupations and managers had generally lower mean SA/DP days e.g., B0: 11.3, B1: 11.6, B1+: 6.8 during the third year after first childbirth than the lowest skill level occupations group; B0: 28.1, B1: 22.8, B1+: 15.2 days. In B1 and B1+, absolute differences in mean SA/DP, particularly in SA, among occupational groups were highest during the year before childbirth. DP was most common in B0, regardless of group and year.
Conclusions
We found that women's mean SA/DP days before and after first childbirth were higher with decreasing skill-level of the occupational group, with these differences being most pronounced in the year before childbirth. DP was most common among women not giving birth, regardless of occupational group.
Key messages
Women’s mean SA/DP days before and after first childbirth increased with decreasing skill-level of the occupational group and these differences were most pronounced in the year before childbirth.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Childbirth is suggested to be associated with elevated levels of sickness absence (SA) and disability pension (DP). However, knowledge about patterns of SA/DP before and after childbirth as compared to patterns among women who remain nulliparous is limited. We aimed to compare SA/DP across several periods among women with different childbirth status.
Methods
We analysed three population-based cohorts of all women aged 18-39 years who had not previously given birth and who lived in Sweden on 31 December 1994, 1999, or 2004, respectively. We compared crude and standardized annual mean SA and DP net days during three years preceding to three years after the date of first childbirth, among women having (1) their first and only birth during the subsequent three years, (2) their first birth and at least another delivery, and (3) no childbirths before, nor during the study period.
Results
Despite an increase in SA in the year preceding the first childbirth, women who gave birth, and especially women with multiple births, tended to have lower levels of SA/DP days throughout the years than women without childbirths. SA/DP days varied across age groups; young women (aged 18-24 years) without childbirths had fewer SA days, but more DP days than their same-aged counterparts who gave birth, regardless of year. These results did not differ across the three cohorts, suggesting that the results were not affected by period effects.
Conclusions
Women with more than one childbirth had fewer days of SA and DP, as compared to women with one childbirth and to women having no births. Thus, childbirth does not seem to be associated with higher levels of SA and DP. Some of these results can be due to a health selection into giving birth, especially having more births.
Key messages
Except for the year before delivery, i.e., when pregnant, women giving birth had fewer SA and DP days than women with no births. Thus, childbirth does not seem to be associated with higher SA and DP. Women who had more than one childbirth had less SA/DP days than those with one childbirth.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Ketogenic diet (KD) and fasting have anticancer effects in tumor models, possibly due to a differential stress response with sensitization of tumor cells and protection of normal tissue. We therefore set up ERGO2 (NCT01754350), the first randomized clinical trial of calorically-restricted KD and intermittent fasting (KD-IF) in addition to re-irradiation for recurrent malignant gliomas.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Patients were randomized 1:1 to re-irradiation combined with either calorically unrestricted diet (standard diet, SD) or KD-IF. The KD-IF schedule included 3 days of KD (21–23 kcal/kg/d), followed by 3 days of fasting and again 3 days of KD. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months (PFS6). Secondary endpoints were PFS, local control, overall survival (OS), frequency of epileptic seizures, rate of ketosis and quality of life.
RESULTS
50 patients were included. Four patients quit the trial before treatment and three patients stopped KD-IF prematurely. Of the 20 patients who completed KD-IF, 17 patients developed ketosis at day 6, and glucose levels declined significantly. KD-IF was well-tolerated with a modest weight loss of -2.1±1.8 kg. No severe adverse events attributable to the diet occurred. There was no difference in PFS6 between the two groups (KD-IF: 20%, SD: 16%). Similarly, no difference in PFS, local PFS6 and OS were observable. Explorative analysis revealed that among patients of the KD-IF group, those who achieved ketosis of at least 1.5 mmol/l had significantly longer PFS compared to those with lesser or no ketosis.
CONCLUSION
KD-IF is feasible and effective in inducing ketosis in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent glioblastoma. However, the short schedule reported here failed to increase the efficacy of re-irradiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angina pectoris refractory to conventional medical treatment is a common phenomenon in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Many of these patients suffer from depression and generate substantial costs in the healthcare system. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic concepts is of particular importance. This study investigated whether professional, structured humor training has a positive effect on the symptoms of patients with treatment refractory angina pectoris. METHODS Between 2013 and 2014 a total of 35 patients with stable CAD were included. Enrolment was possible if patients suffered from treatment refractory angina pectoris (Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS grades II-IV) despite optimal antianginal medication and exhaustion of options for myocardial revascularization. Previously, 25.8% of the patients had had a myocardial infarction. In this study, a professional humor coaching was conducted with a duration of 7 weeks. In order to evaluate the effects of the coaching, the following examinations were performed before and after the intervention: exercise stress test (treadmill), hair segment cortisol analysis, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Trier Inventory for the Assessment of Chronic Stress (TICS) and the State-Trait-Cheerfulness Inventory (STCI). RESULTS Out of the 35 initially recruited patients 31 completed the study. The mean age was 65.5 years and 94.5% were female. There was a significant improvement in cheerfulness (STCI, pre 23.3 ± 5.4, post 27.5 ± 5, p = 0,03). This effect was even stronger in a subgroup analysis in which only female patients were included (pre 23.6 ± 5.5, post 27.7 ± 4.6, p = 0.003). The results of the BDI showed a remarkable improvement in the pre-post analysis (pre 14.6 ± 8.1, post 11.0 ± 6.5, p = 0.064). Analyzing only the female patients, this difference became significant (pre 13.1 ± 6.4, post 9.9 ± 4.6 p = 0,037). The hair segment investigations showed that patients who had a higher cortisol level in the beginning (>25. percentile, n = 22) showed a significant reduction of the cortisol concentration (pre 6.54 pg/mg, 3.78-12.12 pg/mg, post 3.65 pg/mg, 2.82-7.68 pg/mg, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION Patients with refractory angina pectoris and stable CAD benefit from a professional humor coaching. This effect was shown in a) a significant decrease in cortisol concentrations in the hair segment analysis, b) an improvement in cheerfulness in the STCI and c) a significant difference in the BDI between pre-post values.

Abstract
Selection to reduce susceptibility to Enterococcus faecalis infection in laying hens may contribute to the prevention of amyloid arthropathy since it is mainly induced by this bacterium. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility to select more laying hens that are resistant against E. faecalis infection through the embryo lethality assay (ELA), which is proposed as an alternative model to replace the adult avian challenge assay. Ten-day-old embryos of 500 Lohmann Brown layers were inoculated into the allantoic cavity with an infectious dose of 2.5 colony-forming units (cfu)/mL of the avian E. faecalis strain K923/96 in 3 ELAs. The embryonic mortality rate (EMR) was determined by candling the eggs daily over a period of 4 d. The average EMR estimated during the 3 ELAs was 50% and the highest EMR occurred 3 to 4 d post inoculation. The estimated heritability for embryonic survivability to the infection was h2 = 0.12-0.14, calculated with the logistic and probit link function, respectively, indicating that the selection of more laying hens that are resistant to E. faecalis infection is feasible. A highly negative genetic correlation was estimated between embryonic survivability and laying performance at the peak of lay (rg = -0.22) and at the end of the production (rg = -0.65), as well as with breaking strength (rg = -0.30 to -0.37). A positive correlation was found between egg weight and the embryonic survivability (rg = +0.16), and no genetic correlation was found with body weight and dynamic stiffness. Therefore, although it was demonstrated that it is possible to breed for E. faecalis resistance, special care should be taken to monitor and to take all traits and their genetic correlations into account in order to achieve a balanced genetic progress. Besides, the ELA does not require that the hens are exposed to pathogens thereby saving labor and cost. Therefore, it could be feasible that ELA be implemented in selection programs.

Abstract
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are a promising alternative to integrated control in many fruit pests. Few studies were made on the relationship of Anastrepha fraterculus natural population with native EPNs population and other biotic and abiotic factors. The aim of this work was to verify the occurrence of endemic nematodes in an apple orchard, concerning environmental conditions and technical procedure, and access isolates virulence to A. fraterculus larvae. The experiment was conducted during a year taking monthly soil samples from an apple orchard, with and without fallen fruits just above the soil. Samples were baited with Tenebrium molitor and A. fraterculus larvae in laboratory. Canopy and fallen fruits were sampled to access the pest infestation. Seventy three EPN isolates were captured, in 23.2% soil samples, more with T. molitor than with A. fraterculus baits. From the 20 isolates tested against A. fraterculus, only five were pathogenic, and they were identified as Oscheius sp. The nematodes were captured during all seasons in a similar frequency. Soil and weather conditions, presence of fruit over the orchard soil, and A. fraterculus pupae in the fruits had no significant influence on the capture. As a conclusion, nematodes of the genera Oscheius are found in an apple orchard of Porto Amazonas constantly along the year, independently of fluctuations in A. fraterculus population, climate conditions and presence of fruit over the soil. Some of the isolates are pathogenic to A. fraterculus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND First rank symptoms (FRS) of schizophrenia have been used for decades for diagnostic purposes. In the new version of the DSM-5, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has abolished any further reference to FRS of schizophrenia and treats them like any other "criterion A" symptom (e.g. any kind of hallucination or delusion) with regard to their diagnostic implication. The ICD-10 is currently under revision and may follow suit. In this review, we discuss central points of criticism that are directed against the continuous use of first rank symptoms (FRS) to diagnose schizophrenia. METHODS We describe the specific circumstances in which Schneider articulated his approach to schizophrenia diagnosis and discuss the relevance of his approach today. Further, we discuss anthropological and phenomenological aspects of FRS and highlight the importance of self-disorder (as part of FRS) for the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Finally, we will conclude by suggesting that the theory and rationale behind the definition of FRS is still important for psychopathological as well as neurobiological approaches today. RESULTS Results of a pivotal meta-analysis and other studies show relatively poor sensitivity, yet relatively high specificity for FRS as diagnostic marker for schizophrenia. Several methodological issues impede a systematic assessment of the usefulness of FRS in the diagnosis of schizophrenia. However, there is good evidence that FRS may still be useful to differentiate schizophrenia from somatic causes of psychotic states. This may be particularly important in countries or situations with little access to other diagnostic tests. FRS may thus still represent a useful aid for clinicians in the diagnostic process. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we suggest to continue a tradition of careful clinical observation and fine-grained psychopathological assessment, including a focus on symptoms regarding self-disorders, which reflects a key aspect of psychosis. We suggest that the importance of FRS may indeed be scaled down to a degree that the occurrence of a single FRS alone should not suffice to diagnose schizophrenia, but, on the other hand, absence of FRS should be regarded as a warning sign that the diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is not warranted and requires specific care to rule out other causes, particularly neurological and other somatic disorders. With respect to the current stage of the development of ICD-11, we appreciate the fact that self-disorders are explicitly mentioned (and distinguished from delusions) in the list of mandatory symptoms but still feel that delusional perceptions and complex hallucinations as defined by Schneider should be distinguished from delusions or hallucinations of "any kind". Finally, we encourage future research to explore the psychopathological context and the neurobiological correlates of self-disorders as a potential phenotypic trait marker of schizophrenia.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if the application of tissue harmonic imaging (THI) and real-time spatial compounding (RTSC) would result in a significant difference in the rate of detection and quality of visualization of the normal appendix. Subjects were scanned using the experimental method (the combination of THI and RTSC) and the conventional method (without THI and RTSC). The rate of detection was 85% with the experimental method and 66% with the conventional method. The quality of visualization was measured across three scales—visualized length, walls, and lumen—with a total score equal to the sum of the three scales. The experimental method demonstrated a significant difference in visualized length and total score. The mean score for length using the conventional method was 2.18 compared with 2.56 for the experimental method. The mean score for all three scales for the conventional method was 7.97 compared with 8.67 for the experimental method.

Abstract
Public health education aims at enabling students to deal with complex health-related challenges using appropriate methods based on sound theoretical understanding. Virtually all health-related problems in science and practice require the involvement of different disciplines. However, the necessary interdisciplinarity is only partly reflected in the curricula of public health courses. Also theories, methods, health topics, and their application are often taught side-by-side and not together. For students, it can become an insurmountable challenge to integrate the different disciplines ("horizontal integration") and theories, methods, health topics, and their application ("vertical integration"). This situation is specific for education in public health but is representative for other interdisciplinary fields as well. Several approaches are available to achieve the horizontal integration of different disciplines and vertical integration of theories, methods, health topics, and their application. A curriculum that is structured by topics, rather than disciplines might be more successful in integrating different disciplines. Vertical integration can be achieved by research-based learning. Research-based learning places a student-led research project at the centre of teaching. Students choose a topic and a research question, raise their own questions for theories and methods and will hopefully cross the seeming chasm between science and practice. Challenges of research-based learning are enhanced demands on students, teachers and curriculum design.

Abstract
Microorganisms have an important role in tumorgenesis by the induction of inflammation and by a direct impact on tumor cells. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with an increased risk for lung cancer and microbial colonization. We asked whether bacterial pathogens act as tumor promoters during CS-induced pulmonary inflammation. In a metastatic lung cancer (LC) model, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were injected in mice to initiate the growth of tumors in the lung. Exposure to the combination of cigarette smoke (CS) and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) synergistically increased metastatic growth. Lung levels of albumin and LDH, translocation of bacterial factors into tumor tissue, tumor inflammation, and tumor proliferation were significantly increased in mice exposed to CS in combination with NTHi. Bacterial pathogens increased the proliferation of cultured LLC cells and human cancer cell lines. Metastatic growth induced by the exposure to CS in combination with NTHi was reduced in mice deficient for IL-17. Our data provide evidence that CS-induced loss of pulmonary barrier integrity allows bacterial factors to translocate into tumor tissue and to regulate tumor-associated inflammation and tumor proliferation. Translocation of bacterial factors in tumor tissue links CS-induced inflammation with tumor proliferation.

Abstract
The effect of herbicides that inhibit the photosynthetic electron transport at the photosystem II acceptor side has been analyzed in whole plants by using a fluorometric method. The data reported indicate that the apparent variable fluorescence of the induction curve normalized to the control value provides reliable information about the penetration rate and metabolic detoxification of PS II herbicides in whole plants.

Abstract
We describe a simple, precise, and sensitive experimental protocol for direct measurement of N(inf2) fixation using the conversion of (sup15)N(inf2) to organic N. Our protocol greatly reduces the limit of detection for N(inf2) fixation by taking advantage of the high sensitivity of a modern, multiple-collector isotope ratio mass spectrometer. This instrument allowed measurement of N(inf2) fixation by natural assemblages of plankton in incubations lasting several hours in the presence of relatively low-level (ca. 10 atom%) tracer additions of (sup15)N(inf2) to the ambient pool of N(inf2). The sensitivity and precision of this tracer method are comparable to or better than those associated with the C(inf2)H(inf2) reduction assay. Data obtained in a series of experiments in the Gotland Basin of the Baltic Sea showed excellent agreement between (sup15)N(inf2) tracer and C(inf2)H(inf2) reduction measurements, with the largest discrepancies between the methods occurring at very low fixation rates. The ratio of C(inf2)H(inf2) reduced to N(inf2) fixed was 4.68 (plusmn) 0.11 (mean (plusmn) standard error, n = 39). In these experiments, the rate of C(inf2)H(inf2) reduction was relatively insensitive to assay volume. Our results, the first for planktonic diazotroph populations of the Baltic, confirm the validity of the C(inf2)H(inf2) reduction method as a quantitative measure of N(inf2) fixation in this system. Our (sup15)N(inf2) protocols are comparable to standard C(inf2)H(inf2) reduction procedures, which should promote use of direct (sup15)N(inf2) fixation measurements in other systems.
