Abstract
BACKGROUND Results of neurotological function diagnostics in the context of interdisciplinary vertigo assessment are usually formulated as free-text reports (FTR). These are often subject to high variability, which may lead to loss of information. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the completeness of structured reports (SR) and referrer satisfaction in the neurotological assessment of vertigo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Neurotological function diagnostics performed as referrals (n = 88) were evaluated retrospectively. On the basis of the available raw data, SRs corresponding to FTRs from clinical routine were created by means of a specific SR template for neurotological function diagnostics. FTRs and SRs were evaluated for completeness and referring physician satisfaction (n = 8) using a visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire. RESULTS Compared to FTRs, SRs showed significantly increased overall completeness (73.7% vs. 51.7%, p < 0.001), especially in terms of patient history (92.5% vs. 66.7%, p < 0.001), description of previous findings (87.5% vs. 38%, p < 0.001), and neurotological (33.5% vs. 26.7%, p < 0.001) and audiometric function diagnostics (58% vs. 32.3%, p < 0.001). In addition, SR showed significantly increased referring physician satisfaction (VAS 8.8 vs. 4.9, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Neurotological SRs enable a significantly increased report completeness with higher referrer satisfaction in the context of interdisciplinary assessment of vertigo. Furthermore, SRs are particularly suitable for scientific data analysis, especially in the context of big data analyses.

Abstract
The prognostic value of radiomic quantitative features measured on pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT was investigated in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). We conducted a retrospective study of 126 FL patients (grade 1-3a) diagnosed between 2006 and 2020. A dozen of PET/CT-derived features were extracted via a software (Oncometer3D) from baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT images. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox analysis were used to assess the prognostic factors for progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) and progression-free survival at 24 months. Four different clusters were identified among the twelve PET parameters analyzed: activity, tumor burden, fragmentation-massiveness and dispersion. On ROC analyses, TMTV, the total metabolic tumor volume, had the highest AUC (0.734) followed by medPCD, the median distance between the centroid of the tumors and their periphery (AUC: 0.733). Patients with high TMTV (HR = 4.341; p < 0.001), high Tumor Volume Surface Ratio (TVSR) (HR = 3.204; p < 0.003) and high medPCD (HR = 4.507; p < 0.001) had significantly worse prognosis in both Kaplan-Meier and Cox univariate analyses. Furthermore, a synergistic effect was observed in Kaplan-Meier and Cox analyses combining these three PET/CT-derived parameters (HR = 12.562; p < 0.001). Having two or three high parameters among TMTV, TVSR and medPCD was able to predict POD24 status with a specificity of 68% and a sensitivity of 75%. TMTV, TVSR and baseline medPCD are strong prognostic factors in FL and their combination better predicts disease prognosis.

Abstract
House dust mite (HDM) is the most significant indoor allergen, responsible for not only many cases of rhinoconjunctivitis but also for many cases of bronchial asthma, rendering it of considerable socioeconomic relevance. Besides symptomatic treatment and avoidance measures, allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is crucial, as the only causal, disease-modifying therapeutic approach. However, high diagnostic certainty is essential for initiating AIT. The challenge in making a correct diagnosis lies in interpreting the demonstrated HDM sensitization regarding its clinical relevance (clinically silent sensitization vs. allergy). While the risk of allergy increases with the level of IgE titers against HDM extract, Der p 1, or Der p 2, as well as with the breadth of the molecular sensitization profile against HDM components (Der p 1, Der p 2, Der p 23), no threshold can be defined for the presence of allergy, nor can sensitization to a specific component be confidently considered allergy inducing. It should be noted that at least in Southern Bavaria, the prevalence of Der p 23 sensitization is too low to be considered a major allergen, and Der p 23 is not able to molecularly differentiate all HDM sensitizations when added to the two major allergens Der p 1 and Der p 2. Evidently, HDM possesses a diverse profile of allergens, with some relevant ones possibly yet to be described. Unfortunately, patient history does not provide a sufficient assessment of the clinical relevance of a demonstrated HDM sensitization, necessitating allergen provocation testing before initiating AIT with HDM, despite the relatively large effort involved.

Abstract
1. Killing male one-day-old chicks, especially from layer lines, is banned in some European countries. Therefore, dual-purpose chickens, where each sex is used for meat and egg production, respectively, offer an alternative production solution. This study evaluated the British purebred breed Ixworth as a dual-purpose chicken for meat and egg production.2. Ixworth chicks (n = 167) were hatched and reared mixed-sex in a floor housing system, with two groups receiving a commercial pullet diet (treatment 1) and two groups receiving a diet composed for males of layer lines (treatment 2). Individual chick performance data were recorded. Males were slaughtered at 12 weeks of age, and their growth rate and carcase variables were analysed. All hens were continuously reared on the pullet diet and kept in a free-range system from 20 weeks old for one laying period (52 weeks). In addition, group-based feed consumption and mortality were recorded.3. Cockerels in treatment 1 and 2 showed significantly different [T(88) = -2.846, P = 0.003] growth rates (25.3 vs. 27.4 g/day) and average final weights (2166 g vs. 2344 g). The hens in treatment 1 (n = 41) laid an average of 193 eggs per hen housed (mean egg weight: 56.9 g), whereas those in treatment 2 (n = 35) laid 195 eggs per hen housed (mean egg weight: 56.5 g). Nest acceptance was >97.5% and feed consumption was up to 140 g/bird/day.4. The results showed that the Ixworth may be a suitable breed for dual-purpose use and could be improved through selective breeding, offering potential for preservation of this local breed as well as general biodiversity in poultry farming.

Abstract
Objectives Fatigue can decrease knee stability and increase the injury risk. However, fatigue is rarely being applied throughout movement analysis. The aim of this study was to investigate if the knee stability throughout SLDLs differ between cyclic and acyclic sports, before and after fatigue in general, and between the dominant and non-dominant leg of soccer players. Methods A total of 43 active male (n = 34) and female (n = 9) athletes (age: 26.5 ± 7.2) participated in this study with a pre-post-design. Subjects performed a single leg drop landing (SLDL) from a plyobox. For each leg, the two-dimensional frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) was analyzed. After pretesting the shuttle run test was performed until exhaustion, before repeating the measurements. Results ANOVA with repeated measures was applied and identified no significance difference for the FPPA between cyclic and acyclic sports (F = 0.98, p = 0.33), a significant difference before and after fatigue (F = 12.49, p = 0.002) and no significant difference between the dominant and non dominant leg of soccer players (F = 4.35, p = 0.26). Discussion Fatigue seems to be able to have a significant influence on knee stability in the frontal axis. Therefore, fatigue should be included in motion analysis for injury prevention and return to play tests because during this physical state most injuries happen.

Abstract
Introduction: Hernia Basecamp is an online learning platform hosted within the WebSurg website. One of the drivers of its development was to cover the syllabus of the UEMS AWS examination, but it is a learning resource in its own right. There are currently 205 video lectures, with a number of them selected to create 10 modules of 3 h each with UEMS CME accreditation. The aim of this study was to review the Hernia Basecamp usage since launch in June 2021. Methods: The Hernia Basecamp WebSurg platform was interrogated using Matomo Analytics in January 2023 (19 month period since launch). Data on the number of visits, pages looked at and time spent on the platform per visit, along with the number of CME modules taken and passed were collected. Results: Users from 146 countries visited the Hernia Basecamp site 17,171 times (6,586 times, 38.4% in first 9 months). The top 5 countries by visitors were the United Kingdom, Mexico, Spain, United States and Germany (accounting for 29.4% of the visits). The average time spent per visit was 11 min 37 s (range: 47 s-49 min 4 s), and the number of pages/videos viewed per visit was 8.1 (range: 2-21). The number of UEMS CME modules taken was 675, and 326 (48%) of these tests were passed. Conclusion: In the first 19 months from launch, Hernia Basecamp provided over 3,000 h of hernia education. The UEMS approved CME accreditation tests were commonly used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adherence to controller medication is a major problem in asthma management, being difficult to assess and tackle. mHealth apps can be used to assess adherence. We aimed to assess the adherence to inhaled corticosteroids+long-acting β2-agonists (ICS+LABA) in users of the MASK-air® app, comparing the adherence to ICS+formoterol (ICS+F) with that to ICS+other LABA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analysed complete weeks of MASK-air® data (2015-2022; 27 countries) from patients with self-reported asthma and ICS+LABA use. We compared patients reporting ICS+F versus ICS+other LABA on adherence levels, symptoms and symptom-medication scores. We built regression models to assess whether adherence to ICS+LABA was associated with asthma control or short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use. Sensitivity analyses were performed considering the weeks with no more than one missing day. RESULTS In 2598 ICS+LABA users, 621 (23.9%) reported 4824 complete weeks and 866 (33.3%) reported weeks with at most one missing day. Higher adherence (use of medication ≥80% of weekly days) was observed for ICS+other LABA (75.1%) when compared to ICS+F (59.3%), despite both groups displaying similar asthma control and work productivity. The ICS+other LABA group was associated with more days of SABA use than the ICS+F group (median=71.4% versus 57.1% days). Each additional weekly day of ICS+F use was associated with a 4.1% less risk in weekly SABA use (95%CI=-6.5;-1.6%;p=0.001). For ICS+other LABA, the percentage was 8.2 (95%CI=-11.6;-5.0%;p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In asthma patients adherent to the MASK-air app, adherence to ICS+LABA was high. ICS+F users reported lower adherence but also a lower SABA use and a similar level of control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 5%-12% of the population worldwide suffer from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is defined as a chronic respiratory disease and is considered to be a risk factor for COVID-19 patients. AREAS COVERED A non-systematic literature research was conducted on COVID-19 and treatment options for CRSwNP. The latest international publications in medical databases, international guidelines, and the internet were reviewed. Since there were no publications on all aspects of this topic during the pandemic, we included our own experience in this report. Based on the conducted literature research in addition to our previously reported experience, we discuss the treatment of CRSwNP during the COVID-19 pandemic and what can be taken for future pandemics. EXPERT OPINION Intranasal corticosteroids remain the standard treatment for CRS in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Indications for surgical treatment of CRS should be critically evaluated and reserved for patients with complications and those with no other treatment options. For this purpose, COVID-19 status should be known if possible and, in case of unclear status (emergency), using appropriate personal protective equipment. Systemic corticosteroids should be avoided were possible. Biological treatment should be continued under careful monitoring in uninfected patients and should be temporarily interrupted during COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women referred to radiological department as a high risk for breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, cross-sectional study included 327 consecutive patients (mean age: 60 years, age range: 30-90 years) who underwent breast MRI and tissue biopsy between 2007 and 2016. All MRI images (T1, T2, and subtraction images) were evaluated visually. The relationship of BPE with patient age, fibroglandular tissue (FGT), Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) categories, presence of breast cancer, and expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), progesterone receptor (PR), oestrogen receptor (ER), and Ki67 were analysed. Furthermore, all variables were correlated with pre- and postmenopausal status. RESULTS BPE of bilateral breast showed a weak correlation with FGT (right BPE: r=-0.14, p=0.004; left BPE: r=0.16, p=0.003), a weak negative correlation with patient age (right BPE: r=-0.14, p=0.007; left BPE: r=-0.15, p=0.006), and significant correlation with HER2 (right BPE, p=0.02), left BPE with HER2 was not significant. Among the correlations between BPE and BIRADS, only between right BPE and right BIRADS was significant (p=0.031). No clear evidence of an association between breast MRI BPE and breast cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal status was observed, and no difference was found between the right and left breasts. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study showed no significant correlations between BPE and breast cancer. In addition, there was no significant difference between the right and left breast. Hence, BPE of MRI may not be a reliable biomarker of breast cancer development.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is an IgE-mediated, type‑2 inflammatory disease. neuropeptides are released by neurons and interact with immune cells. Via colocalization, neuroimmune cell units such as nerve-mast cell units, nerve-type 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) units, nerve-eosinophil units, and nerve-basophil units are formed. Markedly elevated tryptase levels were found in nasal lavage fluid and were strongly associated with neuropeptide levels. A close anatomical connection allows bidirectional communication between immune and neuronal cells. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and transient receptor potential ankyrin repeat 1 (TRPA1) are critically involved in immunological reactions in the setting of allergic rhinitis. Neuroimmunological communication plays an important role in the inflammatory process, so that allergic rhinitis can no longer be considered a purely immunological disease, but rather a combined neuroimmunological disease.

Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a very common disease with a high prevalence worldwide. It is an IgE-mediated type 2 inflammatory disease following exposure to inhalant allergens. A multitude of different neuropeptides including substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nerve growth factor (NGF), and neuromedin U (NMU) can be released via peripheral axon or central reflexes, interact with immune cells, and thus contribute to neurogenic inflammation which causes the nasal hyperreactivity (NHR) characteristic of AR. Independent production of neuroendocrine hormones and neuropeptides by immune cells has also been demonstrated. Neuro-immune cell units arise when immune and neuronal cells colocalize, for which typical anatomic regions are, e.g., the mast cell-nerve functional unit. The focus of this review is the elucidation of neuroimmune communication mechanisms in AR.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) ist eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung der Schleimhäute von Nase und Nasennebenhöhlen. In Deutschland sind 3 verschiedene monoklonale Antikörper für die Indikation „Zusatztherapie zu intranasalen Glukokortikosteroiden für die Behandlung Erwachsener mit schwerer chronischer Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen“ zugelassen. Um die Verordnung in der zugelassenen Indikation (In-Label) zu dokumentieren, ist neben einer Dokumentation zahlreicher medizinischer Parameter die korrekte Auswahl der ICD-10-GM-Codierung entscheidend. Hierfür existieren in Deutschland bislang keine konsentierten Empfehlungen.
Methoden Basierend auf der internationalen Literatur und bisherigen Erfahrungen werden von einem Expertengremium von AeDA, DGHNO-KHC und Deutschem CRS-Register Codierungsmöglichkeiten von CRS und CRSwNP analysiert und auf dieser Basis eine konsentierte Empfehlung für die ICD-10-GM-Codierung in Deutschland ausgesprochen.
Ergebnis Die Internationale statistische Klassifikation der Krankheiten und verwandter Gesundheitsprobleme ICD-10-GM (International Classification of Diseases, 10. Revision, German Modification) ist die amtliche Klassifikation zur Verschlüsselung von Diagnosen in der ambulanten und stationären Versorgung in Deutschland. Der ICD-10-GM unterscheidet nicht adäquat zwischen heute anerkannten klinischen und immunologischen Differenzierungen der CRSsNP und der CRSwNP. Dennoch wird insbesondere bei indiziertem Einsatz von Biologika in der Therapie der schweren CRSwNP eine möglichst exakte Verschlüsselung mit den Codes J33.8 (im Einzelfall J33.1 oder J33.9) empfohlen.
Schlussfolgerungen Das Verständnis über die immunologischen Grundlagen der CRSwNP eröffnet neue Behandlungsansätze mit monoklonalen Antikörpern für Patienten mit schwerer, unkontrollierter Erkrankung. Hier geben wir Empfehlungen für eine adäquate ICD-10-GM-Codierung in Deutschland.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses. Eosinophilic inflammation is described as a common endotype. The anti-IL5 antibody mepolizumab was approved in November 2021 as an add-on therapy to intranasal glucocorticosteroids for the treatment of adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps when systemic glucocorticosteroids or surgery do not provide adequate disease control. While national and international recommendations exist for the use of mepolizumab in CRSwNP, it has not yet been adequately specified how this therapy is to be monitored, what follow-up documentation is necessary, and when it should be terminated if necessary. METHODS A literature search was performed to analyze previous data on the treatment of CRSwNP with mepolizumab and to determine the available evidence by searching Medline, Pubmed, the national and international trial and guideline registries and the Cochrane Library. Human studies published in the period up to and including 10/2022 were considered. RESULTS Based on the international literature and previous experience by an expert panel, recommendations for follow-up, adherence to therapy intervals and possible therapy breaks, as well as termination of therapy when using mepolizumab for the indication CRSwNP in the German health care system are given on the basis of a documentation sheet. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the immunological basis of CRSwNP opens up new non-surgical therapeutic approaches with biologics for patients with severe, uncontrolled courses. Here, we provide recommendations for follow-up, adherence to therapy intervals, possible therapy pauses, or discontinuation of therapy when mepolizumab is used as add-on therapy with intranasal glucocorticosteroids to treat adult patients with severe CRSwNP that cannot be adequately controlled with systemic glucocorticosteroids and/or surgical intervention.

Abstract
In antiferromagnets, the efficient transport of spin-waves has until now only been observed in the insulating antiferromagnet hematite, where circularly (or a superposition of pairs of linearly) polarized spin-waves diffuse over long distances. Here, we report long-distance spin-transport in the antiferromagnetic orthoferrite YFeO3, where a different transport mechanism is enabled by the combined presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and externally applied fields. The magnon decay length is shown to exceed hundreds of nanometers, in line with resonance measurements that highlight the low magnetic damping. We observe a strong anisotropy in the magnon decay lengths that we can attribute to the role of the magnon group velocity in the transport of spin-waves in antiferromagnets. This unique mode of transport identified in YFeO3 opens up the possibility of a large and technologically relevant class of materials, i.e., canted antiferromagnets, for long-distance spin transport.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and especially progression in CAC is a strong predictor of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiovascular mortality [1]. Observational studies suggest a protective role of vitamin K2 in the development of CAC [2]. Measurement of CAC score in Agatston Units (AU) is common practice, while novel software as AutoPlaque introduces new opportunities to measure coronary plaques [3].
Purpose
The aim of this double-blinded randomized multicenter trial is to investigate if vitamin K2 supplementation can reduce the progression of CAC in a population without known coronary disease.
Methods
AVADEC is a multicenter trial investigating 389 participants randomized to vitamin K2 (720 μg/day) and vitamin D (25 μg/day) versus placebo with a 2-year follow-up from 2018–2019 [4]. The primary endpoint of AVADEC is change in aortic valve calcification. In this substudy, we examined the progression of CAC in participants with no prior coronary disease (no myocardial infarction and/or revascularization) at baseline. Secondary, the change in CAC was evaluated in two prespecified subgroups (low-risk: CAC score <400 AU and high-risk: CAC ≥400 AU at baseline). Non-contrast CT-scans were performed at baseline, 12 and 24 months of follow-up. Contrast CT-scans were performed at baseline and 24 months. CAC score was measured with established software and expressed in Agatston Units (AU). On contrast CT-scans, quantitative coronary plaque composition evaluations were performed by using Autoplaque. Moreover, events (AMI, revascularization and all cause death) were assessed.
Results
304 participants (male, mean age 71 years) with no prior coronary disease were identified. The intervention and placebo groups were similar in all traditional cardiovascular risk factors except familial predisposition for cardiovascular disease (14.4% vs. 6.7%, p=0.046). We found progression of CAC in both the intervention and placebo group from baseline to 24 month follow-up (203 AU vs. 254 AU, p=0.089) (Figure 1). The patients with CAC score <400 AU at baseline were equal in progression (77 AU vs. 81 AU, p=0.846). In patients with CAC score ≥400, the progression of CAC was significantly lower in the intervention group (288 AU vs. 380 AU, p=0.047). Yet, preliminary analyses of contrast CT-scans in 180 participants showed no difference in the progression of non-calcified plaque volume (10 mm3 vs. 37 mm3, p=0.276). In addition, the number of events was significantly lower in participants receiving vitamin K2 and D (1.9% vs. 6.7%, p=0.048).
Conclusion
Patients with no prior coronary disease randomized to vitamin K2 supplementation had a non-significant reduction in CAC development over a 2-year follow-up period. High-risk patients with CAC ≥400 AU had a significantly lower progression of CAC. Additionally, vitamin K2 supplementation significantly reduced the risk of AMI, revascularization and all-cause death.

Abstract
The prevalence of allergic disorders drastically increased over the last 50 years that today they can be considered epidemic. At present, allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only therapy targeting the underlying cause of allergic disorders, and its superior evidence is based on accumulated data from clinical trials and observational studies demonstrating efficacy and safety. However, several aspects remain unsolved, such as harmonization and standardization of manufacturing and quantification procedures across manufacturers, homogeneous reporting of strength, and also the establishment of international reference standards for many allergens. This article discusses the issues related to the measurement of major allergen content in AIT extracts, raising the question of whether comparison of products by different manufacturers are appropriate as basis to choose among the different AIT products. Allergen standardization in immunotherapy products is critical to ensure quality and thereby safety and efficacy. However, lack of harmonization in manufacturing process, allergen quantification (methodologies and references), national regulatory differences, clinical practice, and labeling shows that the comparison of AIT products solely based on major allergen amounts is not rationale and, in fact, impossible. Moreover, further inherent characteristics of products and their clinical use such as their state of extract modification, addition of adjuvant or adjuvant-system, route of administration (sublingual/subcutaneous) and cumulative dose as per posology (including the volume per administration) need to be taken into account, when rating the information given for a specific product. Finally, only convincing clinical data can serve as the product-specific evaluation, or the basis for cross-product comparability, for individual products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinus mucosa with eosinophilic inflammation as the most common endotype. The anti-IL5 antibody mepolizumab was approved for the treatment of severe CRSwNP in the EU in November 2021. METHODS A literature search was performed to analyze the immunology of CRSwNP and determine the available evidence by searching Medline, Pubmed, and the German national and international trial and guideline registries and the Cochrane Library. Human studies published in the period up to and including 12/2021 that investigated the effect of mepolizumab in CRSwNP were considered. RESULTS Based on the international literature and previous experience, recommendations for the use of mepolizumab in CRSwNP in the German health care system are given by an expert panel on the basis of a documentation form. CONCLUSIONS Understanding about the immunological basis of CRSwNP opens new non-surgical therapeutic approaches with biologics for patients with severe courses. Mepolizumab is approved since November 2021 for add-on therapy with intranasal corticosteroids for the treatment of adult patients with severe CRSwNP who cannot be adequately controlled with systemic corticosteroids and/or surgical intervention.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) ist eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung der paranasalen Schleimhäute, der als Endotyp meistens eine TH2-Inflammation zugrunde liegt. IgE-Antikörper spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle. Der anti-IgE-Antikörper Omalizumab wurde im August 2020 für die Therapie der schweren CRSwNP zugelassen.
Methoden In einer Literatursuche wurde die Immunologie der CRSwNP analysiert und die Evidenz zur Wirkung von Omalizumab bei dieser Erkrankung ermittelt durch Recherchen in Medline, Pubmed sowie den nationalen und internationalen Studien- und Leitlinien-Registern und der Cochrane Library.
Ergebnisse Basierend auf diesen Angaben aus der internationalen Literatur werden von einem Expertengremium Empfehlungen für die Anwendung von Omalizumab bei CRSwNP im deutschen Gesundheitssystem gegeben.
Schlussfolgerung Omalizumab ist zugelassen für Patienten ab 18 Jahren mit schwerer chronischer Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen als Zusatztherapie zu intranasalen Kortikosteroiden (INCS), wenn durch eine Therapie mit INCS keine ausreichende Krankheitskontrolle erzielt werden kann.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) ist eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung, oftmals auf der Grundlage einer Typ-2-Inflammation. Für die Behandlung von Patienten mit einer schweren Ausprägung ohne ausreichendes Ansprechen auf die Standardtherapie mit topischen nasalen Steroiden und/oder Zustand nach endonasaler Operation sind als Biologika aktuell Dupilumab und Omalizumab für die Therapie zugelassen. Nachdem wir in einer früheren Publikation für Dupilumab bereits entsprechende Hinweise gegeben haben, ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit die Standardisierung von Patienteninformation und -aufklärung vor einer Therapie mit Omalizumab.
Methoden Auf Grundlage des aktuellen Wissensstandes zur Immunologie der CRSwNP und zu den erwünschten und möglichen unerwünschten Wirkungen von Omalizumab werden Empfehlungen für die Patienteninformation entwickelt.
Ergebnisse Basierend auf der internationalen Literatur, der aktuellen Fachinformation und Erfahrungen aus der praktischen Anwendung und den derzeitigen Pharmakovigilanz-Daten hat ein Expertengremium Empfehlungen für die Patienteninformation und -aufklärung zur Anwendung von Omalizumab bei CRSwNP entwickelt und auf dieser Grundlage einen Patienteninformations- und Aufklärungsbogen erstellt.
Schlussfolgerung Die Information und Einwilligung des Patienten wird vor der Verordnung bzw. Verabreichung von allen Biologika, damit auch Omalizumab, empfohlen. Das vorliegende Positionspapier enthält wichtige Informationen zur praktischen Umsetzung und einen Vorschlag für eine Patienteninformation.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused tremendous supply bottlenecks of single-use filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) leading to a growing need for a potential reuse. This study assesses the impact of multiple mild-steam decontaminations with 121 °C/2000 mbar/20 min on the protection performance of disposable FFRs. It focuses on FFRs of type KN95 that is recently dominating the markets, but its decontamination is not covered in the literature. It was found that up to ten cycles, only minor degradation in the filter efficiency, breathing resistance and none in the material structure is apparent, suggesting a potential for multiple decontamination cycles at almost unchanged protective properties of KN95 FFRs.

Abstract
Innovative and effective vaccination strategies are the most important lever to address the global SARS-COV2 pandemic. Within months scientists all over the world have developed promising new vaccines, many of which use adenoviral vectors to incorporate immunogenic molecules of SARS-coronavirus in order to elicit effective immune responses. The Gamaleya institute developed the COVID-19 vaccine named Sputnik (Gam-COVID-Vac) using adenoviral vectors ad 26 and ad5 to incorporate a full SARS-Spike Protein for vaccination. Two differing vectors enable so called prime-boost, thus avoiding neutralizing effects against the vector itself, ensuring proper immunogenicity against the vaccine. Current available published evidence has raised controversy among small sample sizes in phase II and early endpoints in phase III studies with Sputnik and scientific community took notice that full study protocols and clinical data haven't been made available yet. Patient subgroups and vaccination efficacy in healthy vaccinated may be at risk in case of partial viral replication of Ad5 vectors or when batch to batch reproducibility is not warranted, as concerns from authorities in Brazil and Slovakia have recently been raised. Final approval by governing health authorities (e. g. EMA) should therefore be awaited.

Abstract
Purpose: A breast specific radiosurgery device (BSRD) has recently been FDA cleared for treatment of accelerated partial breast irradiation. Using this device requires a vacuum assisted immobilization system to treat patients in the prone position. Alternatively, APBI delivery using intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treats patients in the supine position at University of Maryland. This study aimed to compare dose distribution to targets and organs at risk (OARS), using BSRD plans versus IMPT plans for APBI. We hypothesized that despite the physical characteristics of IMPT the BSRD plans would be superior in conformality. Methods:An IRB approved retrospective review was performed for 13 patients who previously received a lumpectomy boost using the BSRD in prone position followed by whole breast irradiation in the supine position. APBI plans were created using dose a fractionation of 30Gy in 5 fractions. Previously contoured LPC volumes with a 1cm CTV expansion were created (modified at anatomic boundaries and within 5 mm of skin) followed by a 3 mm PTV expansion for BSRD plans, our standard for all BSRD plans, or CTV with beam specific PTV for IMPT plans. A single physicist created plans for BSRD with a different physicist for IMPT. Physicists were blinded to the results of the comparative plans. Plans were compared with respect to heart max, heart mean, ipsilateral lung V5, V20, normal breast D5, D20, D50 and D80, skin max, CTV coverage, conformality index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI). Paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Six out of thirteen patients had left sided breast cancer. The CTV volumes were comparable, with no difference in coverage of 95% of the CTV receiving the prescription dose (98% vs 97%). BSRD plans had superior CI (0.82 vs 0.63, p<0.0004), and HI (0.91 vs 0.65, p<0.0001) and improved Ipsilateral Lung V5 (2.3% vs 0.7%, p<0.055). IMPT plans had superior max heart dose (1.17Gy vs 4.13Gy, p<0.001), heart mean dose (0.05Gy vs 0.8Gy, p<0.0006), normal breast D5 (29 vs 31Gy p<0.003), D20 (13 vs 18Gy, p<0.04), D50 (0.79 vs 6.79, p<0.0001), D80 (0.07 vs 2.85, p<0.0001). There was no difference in max skin dose or ipsilateral lung V20. Conclusions: In conclusion, BSRD plans were associated with better dose conformity to the target and lower ipsilateral lung V5. When comparing dose to the heart and ipsilateral normal breast, both treatments plans delivered low doses below the acceptable limits, however plans were comparatively better with IMPT possibly due to target location. Additional patient evaluation is needed to further assess the impact of the breast immobilization device and target location on doses to OARs and the normal breast tissue. Overall, this comparison supports further evaluation of the BSRD technology

Abstract
Animal models of total-body irradiation (TBI) are used to elucidate normal tissue damage and evaluate the efficacy of medical countermeasures (MCM). The accuracy of these TBI models depends on the reproducibility of the radiation dose-response relationship for lethality, which in turn is highly dependent on robust radiation physics and dosimetry. However, the precise levels of radiation each organ absorbs can change dramatically when different photon beam qualities are used, due to the interplay between their penetration and the natural variation of animal sizes and geometries. In this study, we evaluate the effect of varying the radiation energy, namely cobalt-60 (Co-60); of similar penetration to a 4-MV polyenergetic beam), 6 MV and 15 MV, in the absorbed dose delivered by TBI to individual organs of eight Göttingen minipigs of varying weights (10.3-24.1 kg) and dimensions (17.5-25 cm width). The main organs, i.e. heart, lungs, esophagus, stomach, bowels, liver, kidneys and bladder, were contoured by an experienced radiation oncologist, and the volumetric radiation dose distribution was calculated using a commercial treatment planning system commissioned and validated for Co-60, 6-MV and 15-MV teletherapy units. The dose is normalized to the intended prescription at midline in the abdomen. For each animal and each energy, the body and organ dose volume histograms (DVHs) were computed. The results show that more penetrating photon energies produce dose distributions that are systematically and consistently more homogeneous and more uniform, both within individual organs and between different organs, across all animals. Thoracic organs (lungs, heart) received higher dose than prescribed while pelvic organs (bowel, bladder) received less dose than prescribed, due to smaller and wider separations, respectively. While these trends were slightly more pronounced in the smallest animals (10.3 kg, 19 cm abdominal width) and largest animals (>20 kg, ∼25 cm abdominal width), they were observed in all animals, including those in the 9-15 kg range typically used in MCM models. Some organs received an average absorbed dose representing <80% of prescribed dose when Co-60 was used, whereas all organs received average doses of >87% and >93% when 6 and 15 MV were used, respectively. Similarly, average dose to the thoracic organs reached as high as 125% of the intended dose with Co-60, compared to 115% for 15 MV. These results indicate that Co-60 consistently produces less uniform dose distributions in the Göttingen minipig compared to 6 and 15 MV. Moreover, heterogeneity of dose distributions for Co-60 is accentuated by anatomical and geometrical variations across various animals, leading to different absorbed dose delivered to organs for different animals. This difference in absorbed radiation organ doses, likely caused by the lower penetration of Co-60 and 6 MV compared to 15 MV, could potentially lead to different biological outcomes. While the link between the dose distribution and variation of biological outcome in the Göttingen minipig has never been explicitly studied, more pronounced dose heterogeneity within and between organs treated with Co-60 teletherapy units represents an additional confounding factor which can be easily mitigated by using a more penetrating energy.

Abstract
Purpose Stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) may act synergistically to improve treatment outcomes but may also increase the risk of symptomatic radiation necrosis (RN). The objective of this study was to compare outcomes for patients undergoing SRT with and without concurrent ICI. Methods and materials Patients treated for BMs with single or multi-fraction SRT were retrospectively reviewed. Concurrent ICI with SRT (SRT-ICI) was defined as administration within 3 months of SRT. Local control (LC), radiation necrosis (RN) risk and distant brain failure (DBF) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between groups using the log-rank test. Wilcoxon rank sum and Chi-square tests were used to compare covariates. Multivariate cox regression analysis (MVA) was performed. Results One hundred seventy-nine patients treated with SRT for 385 brain lesions were included; 36 patients with 99 lesions received SRT-ICI. Median follow up was 10.3 months (SRT alone) and 7.7 months (SRT- ICI) (p = 0.08). Lesions treated with SRT-ICI were more commonly squamous histology (17% vs 8%) melanoma (20% vs 2%) or renal cell carcinoma (8% vs 6%), (p < 0.001). Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compromised 60% of patients receiving ICI (n = 59). Lesions treated with SRT-ICI had significantly improved 1-year local control compared to SRT alone (98 and 89.5%, respectively (p = 0.0078). On subset analysis of NSCLC patients alone, ICI was also associated with improved 1 year local control (100% vs. 90.1%) (p = 0.018). On MVA, only tumor size ≤2 cm was significantly associated with LC (HR 0.38, p = 0.02), whereas the HR for concurrent ICI with SRS was 0.26 (p = 0.08). One year DBF (41% vs. 53%; p = 0.21), OS (58% vs. 56%; p = 0.79) and RN incidence (7% vs. 4%; p = 0.25) were similar for SRT alone versus SRT-ICI, for the population as a whole and those patients with NSCLC. Conclusion These results suggest SRT-ICI may improve local control of brain metastases and is not associated with an increased risk of symptomatic radiation necrosis in a cohort of predominantly NSCLC patients. Larger, prospective studies are necessary to validate these findings and better elucidate the impact of SRT-ICI on other disease outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studies on Lattice radiotherapy (LRT) for breast cancer have been largely lacking. This study investigates the dosimetric feasibility of using Gamma Pod, a stereotactic radiotherapy apparatus originally designed for breast SBRT, to deliver LRT to large, bulky breast tumor as a noninvasive treatment option. METHODS The GammaPod-based LRT was simulated using Geant4 Gate Monte Carlo software. The simulated GammaPod was equipped with 5 mm diameter non-coplanar circular beams that span 28° latitudinally from 18° to 43° off the horizontal plane. Two degrees longitudinal intervals were used to simulate rotating sources. To simulate the treatments to different breast sizes, three water-equivalent hemisphere volumes with diameters of 10, 15, and 20 cm were analyzed. The lattice was planned by spacing focal points 2 cm apart in the transverse and sagittal planes and 2.5 cm in the coronal plane. This resulted in 22-172 shots for full breast treatment. The maximum dose for each individual shot was 20 Gy. The peak-to-valley dose differences and skin dose were analyzed. To verify the feasibility of delivering LRT, a test plan was created and delivered to a commercial diode array dose verification device using a clinical GammaPod system with 15 mm collimators. RESULTS The dose profiles showed the average peak-to-valley dose percent differences of 94.10% in the 10 cm hemispherical volume, 88.95% in the 15 cm hemispherical volume, and 83.60% in the 20 cm hemispherical volume. Average skin dose was 1.27, 1.72, and 2.13 Gy for the 10, 15, and 20 cm irradiation volumes, respectively. The LRT plan delivered using a clinical GammaPod system with larger collimators verified the feasibility of LRT plan delivery. CONCLUSION GammaPod-based lattice radiotherapy is a viable treatment option and its application can be extended to treating large bulky breast tumors.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Die chronische Rhinosinusitis (CRS) betrifft weltweit ca. 5–12 % der Allgemeinbevölkerung und wird traditionell eingeteilt in einen Phänotyp ohne (CRSsNP) und einen mit Ausbildung von Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP). Wurden Nasenpolypen bis vor kurzem eher als mechanisches Hindernis mit der Notwendigkeit einer operativen Beseitigung betrachtet, wird die CRSwNP heute als eine multifaktorielle entzündliche Erkrankung der nasalen und paranasalen Schleimhäute angesehen, der als Endotyp häufig eine T2-Inflammation zugrunde liegt. Biologika, die mit diesen Entzündungsmechanismen interferieren, stellen interessante neue Therapiemöglichkeiten dar.
Methoden Das aktuelle Wissen zur Immunologie der CRSwNP und Wirkung von Biologika wurde mittels einer Literaturanalyse durch Recherchen in Medline, PubMed sowie den nationalen und internationalen Studien- und Leitlinienregistern und der Cochrane Library zusammengestellt.
Ergebnisse Basierend auf der internationalen Literatur und bisherigen Erfahrungen werden von einem Expertengremium Empfehlungen für die Anwendung von Biologika bei CRSwNP im deutschen Gesundheitssystem auf der Grundlage eines Dokumentationsbogens gegeben.
Schlussfolgerung Das Verständnis über die immunologischen Grundlagen der CRSwNP eröffnet neue nichtoperative Therapieansätze mit Biologika für Patienten mit schweren Verlaufsformen.

Abstract
Hintergrund Von der chronischen Rhinosinusitis (CRS) sind weltweit etwa 5–12 % der Allgemeinbevölkerung betroffen. Die CRS gilt als chronische Atemwegserkrankung, die nach den Empfehlungen der WHO ein Risikofaktor für COVID-19-Patienten sein kann. Die entzündlichen Veränderungen der Nasenschleimhäute bei chronischer Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen (CRSwNP) sind in den meisten Fällen vom Entzündungsendotyp 2 (T2). Methoden Der aktuelle Wissensstand sowohl zu COVID-19 als auch zu den Behandlungsmöglichkeiten von CRSwNP wurde durch eine Literaturrecherche in Medline, Pubmed, internationalen Leitlinien, der Cochrane Library und im Internet analysiert. Ergebnisse Auf Grundlage der internationalen Literatur, der aktuellen Empfehlungen der WHO und anderer internationaler Organisationen sowie der bisherigen Erfahrungen gab ein Expertengremium von EAACI und ARIA Empfehlungen für die Behandlung von CRSwNP während der COVID-19-Pandemien. Schlussfolgerung Intranasale Kortikosteroide stellen die Standardbehandlung für CRS bei Patienten mit einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion dar. Chirurgische Behandlungen sollten auf ein Minimum reduziert werden und nur bei Patienten mit lokalen Komplikationen und solchen, für die keine anderen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten bestehen, durchgeführt werden. Systemische Kortikosteroide sollten bei COVID-19-Patienten vermieden werden. Die Behandlung mit Biologika kann bei nicht infizierten Patienten unter sorgfältiger Überwachung fortgesetzt werden und sollte während einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion vorübergehend unterbrochen werden.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Last October, the nuclear medicine departments were informed of the closure of the chromium-51 production line for clinical use. This radionuclide has different diagnostic indications in nephrology and hematology. It was therefore essential to set up alternative exploration protocols to overcome this production stoppage. METHODS Chromium-51 EDTA has been replaced by technetium-99m DTPA for the determination of glomerular filtration rates. Sodium chromate was substituted by sodium pertechnetate for the determination of globular volumes. A retrospective analysis of the chromium-51 data was performed followed by a prospective study, from January to December 2019 for technetium tracers. RESULTS One hundred and forty-four patients were included in the study. Forty-two EDTA-51Cr and 30 DTPA-99mTc exams were conducted and compared. There were no significant differences between the methods used to assess renal function (P=0.355). For the determination of blood cell and plasma volumes, 47 tests with 51Cr and 125I and 25 tests with 99mTc and 125I were performed and compared. There were no significant differences in the determination of total (P=0.325) and globular (P=0.148) volumes. CONCLUSIONS The study carried out shows that there is no significant difference between the results obtained with chromium-51 and technetium tracers. As a result, clinical activity was maintained in good conditions.

Abstract
The shear viscosity of liquid Na-K alloys is computed from molecular dynamics simulations using the Green-Kubo formalism. Interatomic interactions are described using effective pair potentials obtained from Fiolhais pseudo-potential and self-consistent screening. The composition dependence of the viscosity is first investigated at 373 K, then its temperature dependence at three different compositions, namely Na10-K90, Na50-K50, and Na90-K10. Simulation results are first compared with available experimental data. The evolution of the viscosity of the alloys versus temperature is similar to that of a pure one component fluid. This is discussed in connection with the chemical order of the mixtures.

Abstract
The United States lacks a set of unified electronic waste recycling laws, contributing in part to the observed low rate of e-waste recycling behaviors among consumers. Individual factors of consumers contributing to the low recycling rates are not well understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate consumer behaviors, including barriers, surrounding e-waste recycling at a large Midwestern university in the United States. A survey was administered to faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and staff to determine their personal recycling habits, knowledge, and beliefs. The results indicate that free access to disposal, lack of consumer knowledge about products and disposal sites, and access to a recycling facility within a reasonable distance are all important factors in consumer decisions. Policy-makers and waste management professionals should focus on promotion of e-waste recycling behaviors through increased access to free or low-cost recycling as well as through the creation of recycling incentives.

Abstract
Two pentadentate N3,P2 ligands coordinate zinc(ii) by their N3 pocket. Four free phosphine donors allow the coordination of four AuCl moieties leading to a pentanuclear ZnAu4 complex. In contrast, the attempt to use the phosphines for chelating coordination of two Rh(CO)Cl units results in a well-organized rearrangement that ends up with the formation of a metallomacrocycle in high yields.
