Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of geriatric patients in the field of trauma surgery is increasingly gaining importance. To provide optimized treatment to these mostly multimorbid patients, interdisciplinary treatment concepts between trauma surgeons and geriatricians have been designed and implemented successfully. OBJECTIVES The aim of this survey was to evaluate the current state of interdisciplinary management in the treatment of geriatric patients on trauma surgery wards throughout Austria. MATERIAL AND METHODS The directors of 64 Austrian trauma surgery wards were surveyed using an online-questionnaire regarding the current interdisciplinary treatment of geriatric patients. RESULTS A total of 39 (61 %) questionnaires were analyzed. Of the participating wards, 20 % distinguished between geriatric and non-geriatric patients. There were various criteria to classify the patients. The average percentage of patients older than 70 years was 43 %. Of the participating wards, 26 % had established a periodical cooperation between trauma surgeons and geriatricians and 8 % of the participants stated that there is no interdisciplinary cooperation. The establishment of an interdisciplinary treatment concept in the near future was planned in 28 %. The most commonly mentioned obstacle that prevented trauma surgery wards from establishing an interdisciplinary management model was the lack of personnel resources (59 %) - especially the lack of geriatricians (62 %). CONCLUSION The survey's results underline the geriatric trauma surgery's great importance especially regarding the high percentage of geriatric patients, as well as the fact that the significance of the interdisciplinary cooperation between trauma surgeons and geriatricians is not yet perceived by the majority of Austrian trauma surgery wards.

Abstract
Differentiating between pregnancy and nonpregnancy noninvasively is difficult in species that experience pseudopregnancy, including polar bears (Ursus maritimus). These bears usually breed in the spring, undergo delayed implantation until late summer or early fall, and give birth in late fall. In other species, the placental protein transthyretin (TTR) has been shown to be essential for early fetal growth, responsible for transporting thyroid hormone from the mother to the fetus during early pregnancy. Preliminary data obtained via 2D-DIGE indicated that fecal TTR is elevated during polar bear pregnancy, but further research is needed to validate its use as an accurate biomarker of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to develop a bench-side assay to characterize TTR in longitudinal fecal samples from pregnant and nonpregnant polar bears. Specific objectives were to 1) develop an effective method for total fecal protein extraction; 2) identify antibodies that cross-react with polar bear fecal TTR; 3) validate an EIA for measuring fecal TTR; and, for proof of concept, 4) compare fecal TTR concentrations among pregnant, pseudopregnant, and nonpregnant polar bears. Fecal samples (n = 205) were collected from females that produced cubs (pregnant; n = 2), did not breed but exhibited a prolonged increase in progesterone (P4; pseudopregnant; n = 2), or did not breed and did not exhibit an increase in P4 (nonpregnant; n = 2). Total protein of each sample was extracted using a modified ammonium sulfate method. Protein concentrations were quantified using the Bradford assay. Western blot was used to determine commercial antibody compatibility with polar bear fecal TTR. A sandwich EIA was optimized using a standard curve ranging from 12.5 to 400 pg of human TTR/well. A parallelism was performed using two-fold serial dilutions of pooled fecal protein. Fecal TTR concentrations were measured in duplicate and are reported as femtograms of TTR per micrograms of total protein. Mean TTR concentrations in samples collected from July–December were compared among groups. Values are reported as mean ± standard error of the mean. Total fecal protein yield was 459.38 ± 284.38 µg g–1 of feces. Successful binding of 2 polyclonal antibodies to the 15-kDa subunit of the TTR protein was verified via western blot and indicated that fecal proteins can retain antibody-binding capacity. The parallelism exhibited strong correlation with the standard curve (R2 = 0.989). Data suggest that fecal TTR is higher during late summer or early fall in pregnant bears (588.40 ± 116.52) when compared to the pseudopregnant state (111.23 ± 15.98) and the nonpregnant state (250.83 ± 34.34). This is the first EIA developed to measure fecal TTR in any species. Although preliminary, these data suggest that the fecal TTR EIA may be useful in diagnosing pregnancy in polar bears.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of novel combination naproxen sodium (NS) and diphenhydramine (DPH) in subjects with postoperative dental pain along with transient insomnia induced by 5 h sleep phase advance. The present studies aimed to demonstrate the added benefit and optimal dosages of the combination product over individual ingredients alone in improving sleep and pain. METHODS Each of the two studies was a two-centre, randomised, double-blind and double-dummy trial. In the first study, subjects were randomised into one of the following treatment arms: NS 440 mg/DPH 50 mg, NS 220 mg/DPH 50 mg, NS 440 mg or DPH 50 mg. In the second study, subjects received either NS 440 mg/DPH 25 mg, NS 440 mg or DPH 50 mg. The co-primary end-points in both studies were wake time after sleep onset (WASO) and sleep latency (SL) measured by actigraphy. Other secondary sleep and pain end-points were also assessed. RESULTS The intent-to-treat population included 712 and 267 subjects from studies one and two, respectively. In the first study, only the NS 440 mg/DPH 50 mg combination showed significant improvements in both WASO vs. NS alone (-70.3 min p = 0.0002) and SL vs. DPH alone (25.50 and 41.50 min respectively, p < 0.0001). In the second study, the NS 440 mg/DPH 25 mg combination failed to show any significant improvements vs. either component alone. CONCLUSIONS Only the NS 440 mg/DPH 50 mg combination demonstrated improvement in both sleep latency vs. DPH 50 mg and sleep maintenance (WASO) vs. NS 440 mg. There were no serious or unexpected adverse events reported in either study. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01280591 (study 1); NCT01495858 (study 2).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some effects of the red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion are well documented whereas others are not. Whether a period of room temperature hold (RTH) during RBC production enhances the RBC storage lesion has remained controversial. In this study, we compared whole blood (WB)-derived RBCs produced after 24-h RTH with rapidly cooled (RC) RBCs and tested them for classical metabolic markers and signs of oxidative damage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS SAGM-RBCs were prepared from mixed and split pairs (n = 12) of WB units. RBCs prepared after a 24-h period of RTH on day+1 after collection (RTH-RBCs) were compared with RC-RBCs. All RBCs were stored at 4°C for 42 days with assay of in vitro variables on days+1, +15, +22, +29 and +42. The study examined standard quality parameters, glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and indicative markers of oxidative cell damage including post-translational haemoglobin modification, malondialdehyde (MDA), and phosphatidylserine expression. RESULTS RTH-RBCs exhibited decreased levels of potassium (1·98 ± 0·26 vs. 5·23 ± 0·65 mmol/l) and of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) on day+1 compared with RC-RBCs. Haemolysis rate on day+42 was higher in RTH-RBCs than in RC-RBCs (0·52 ± 0·13 vs. 0·37 ± 0·12%). The phosphatidylserine expression amounted to 0·25 ± 0·20% in RTH-RBCs and 0·07 ± 0·12% in RC-RBCs. Haemoglobin modification was not different between both RBC groups. RTH-RBCs showed slightly higher MDA concentration on days +29 and +42. CONCLUSIONS RC-RBCs and RTH-RBCs show only small differences of classical in vitro parameters and no relevant differences in antioxidative metabolism and oxidative haemoglobin modification. These findings do not explain the loss observed in in vivo survival studies with RBCs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fragility fractures are a growing worldwide health care problem. Hip fractures have been clearly associated with poor outcomes. Fragility fractures of other bones are common reasons for hospital admission and short-term disability, but specific long-term outcome studies of non-hip fragility fractures are rare. The aim of our trial was to evaluate the 1-year outcomes of non-hip fragility fracture patients. METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort review of 307 consecutive older inpatient non-hip fracture patients. Patient data for analysis included fracture location, comorbidity prevalence, pre-fracture functional status, osteoporosis treatments and sociodemographic characteristics. The main outcomes evaluated were 1-year mortality and post-fracture functional status. RESULTS As compared to the expected mortality, the observed 1-year mortality was increased in the study group (17.6 vs. 12.2 %, P = 0.005). After logistic regression, three variables remained as independent risk factors for 1-year mortality among non-hip fracture patients: malnutrition (OR 3.3, CI 1.5-7.1), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (OR 1.3, CI 1.1-1.5) and the Parker Mobility Score (PMS) (OR 0.85, CI 0.74-0.98). CCI and PMS were independent risk factors for a high grade of dependency after 1 year. Management of osteoporosis did not significantly improve after hospitalization due to a non-hip fragility fracture. CONCLUSION The outcomes of older non-hip fracture patients are comparable to the poor outcomes of older hip fracture patients, and appear to be primarily related to comorbidities, pre-fracture function and nutritional status. The low rate of patients on osteoporosis medications likely reflects the insufficient recognition of the importance of osteoporosis assessment and treatment in non-hip fracture patients. Increased clinical and academic attention to non-hip fracture patients is needed.

Abstract
An untargeted analytical approach combined with chemometrics using the volatiles of German white wine was investigated regarding the usefulness for verifying botanical origin. A total of 198 wine samples of Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc were examined applying headspace solid-phase microextraction online coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The resultant three-dimensional raw data were processed by available metabolomics software. After data treatment, a partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model was validated. External samples were correctly classified for 97% Silvaner, 93% Riesling, 91% Pinot Gris/Blanc, and 80% Müller-Thurgau. This model was related to monoterpenoids, C13-norisoprenoids, and esters. Further, 100% prediction for a two-class model of Riesling versus Pinot Gris/Blanc was confirmed by 74 additional samples measured independently. Hence, the strategy applied was, in particular, reliable and relevant for white wine varietal classification. In addition, the superior classification performance of the Riesling class was revealed.

Abstract
We have developed a pulsed magnet system with panoramic access for synchrotron x-ray diffraction in magnetic fields up to 31 T and at low temperature down to 1.5 K. The apparatus consists of a split-pair magnet, a liquid nitrogen bath to cool the pulsed coil, and a helium cryostat allowing sample temperatures from 1.5 up to 250 K. Using a 1.15 MJ mobile generator, magnetic field pulses of 60 ms length were generated in the magnet, with a rise time of 16.5 ms and a repetition rate of 2 pulses/h at 31 T. The setup was validated for single crystal diffraction on the ESRF beamline ID06.

Abstract
Surrogates, such as umbrella species, are commonly used to reduce the complexity of quantifying biodiversity for conservation purposes. The presence of umbrella species is often indicative of high taxonomic diversity; however, functional diversity is now recognized as an important metric for biodiversity and thus should be considered when choosing umbrella species. We identified umbrella species associated with high taxonomic and functional biodiversity in urban areas in Switzerland. We analyzed 39,752 individuals of 574 animal species from 96 study plots and 1397 presences of 262 plant species from 58 plots. Thirty-one biodiversity measures of 7 taxonomic groups (plants, spiders, bees, ground beetles, lady bugs, weevils and birds) were included in within- and across-taxa analyses. Sixteen measures were taxonomical (species richness and species diversity), whereas 15 were functional (species traits including mobility, resource use, and reproduction). We used indicator value analysis to identify umbrella species associated with single or multiple biodiversity measures. Many umbrella species were indicators of high biodiversity within their own taxonomic group (from 33.3% in weevils to 93.8% in birds), to a lesser extent they were indicators across taxa. Principal component analysis revealed that umbrella species for multiple measures of biodiversity represented different aspects of biodiversity, especially with respect to measures of taxonomic and functional diversity. Thus, even umbrella species for multiple measures of biodiversity were complementary in the biodiversity aspects they represented. Thus, the choice of umbrella species based solely on taxonomic diversity is questionable and may not represent biodiversity comprehensively. Our results suggest that, depending on conservation priorities, managers should choose multiple and complementary umbrella species to assess the state of biodiversity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of hypnotics is prevalent in the general population. Though these drugs have been shown to be effective, their residual effects may cause significant impairment to the user's driving ability. The objective of this meta-analysis is to determine whether there is a residual effect on driving and better evaluate the safety of hypnotics. METHOD Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies were selected that employed a commonly used and valid driving measure to determine the user's driving ability the day after drug administration. The primary outcome measure for the driving task in all included studies was the Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP). Fixed effects model meta-analyses were performed. RESULTS Fourteen studies, published from 1984 to 2013 (295 subjects), were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, significant impairment was found when morning testing (i.e., 10-11 h after initiating sleep) was compared to afternoon testing (i.e., 16-17 h after initiating sleep; P = .0001). Twice the standard dose also showed significant impairment (P = .0001) relative to the standard dose. The time of the test, morning versus afternoon, also had an impact on individual drugs. Middle of the night administration (MOTN) of zolpidem and zopiclone caused significant impairment the following morning, though no such impairment was seen with zaleplon. Finally, half-life was also assessed (short: <6 h, intermediate: 6-12 h, long: >12 h) and both intermediate- and long-acting drugs caused significant impairment the morning after bedtime administration, whereas short acting hypnotics did not. CONCLUSIONS These analyses indicate that the half-life, dose of the hypnotic, as well as time between treatment and driving, as measured by SDLP, all significantly impact the ability to drive a car after taking hypnotic drugs.
