Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike malignant primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours outcome data on non-malignant CNS tumours are scarce. For patients diagnosed from 1996 to 2002 5-year relative survival of only 85.0% has been reported. We investigated this rate in a contemporary patient cohort to update information on survival. METHODS We followed a cohort of 3983 cases within the Austrian Brain Tumour Registry. All patients were newly diagnosed from 2005 to 2010 with a histologically confirmed non-malignant CNS tumour. Vital status, cause of death, and population life tables were obtained by 31 December 2011 to calculate relative survival. RESULTS Overall 5-year relative survival was 96.1% (95% CI 95.1-97.1%), being significantly lower in tumours of borderline (90.2%, 87.2-92.7%) than benign behaviour (97.4%, 96.3-98.3%). Benign tumour survival ranged from 86.8 for neurofibroma to 99.7% for Schwannoma; for borderline tumours survival rates varied from 83.2 for haemangiopericytoma to 98.4% for myxopapillary ependymoma. Cause of death was directly attributed to the CNS tumour in 39.6%, followed by other cancer (20.4%) and cardiovascular disease (15.8%). CONCLUSION The overall excess mortality in patients with non-malignant CNS tumours is 5.5%, indicating a significant improvement in survival over the last decade. Still, the remaining adverse impact on survival underpins the importance of systematic registration of these tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a sclerosing skin disease of presumably autoimmune origin affecting mainly the anogenital area. The aetiology is not completely understood. Comorbidity between genital LS and atopy in girls has been described but so far no controlled study has been performed. OBJECTIVES A prospective epidemiological case-control study was designed to clarify if there is comorbidity between genital LS and atopic skin diathesis (AD) in boys. METHODS The study included a total of 92 boys aged between 1 and 17 years. The disease group consisted of 48 boys who underwent surgery for phimosis that was histologically confirmed as LS. The control group included 44 boys who were circumcised for phimosis for other medical reasons. Both groups were examined and the parents were interviewed following the criteria of the validated Diepgen atopy score. Patients with a score > 9 were assumed to have AD. RESULTS Within the LS group (median age 8·7 years) 12 boys were diagnosed with AD (25%), while there were only three boys with AD (7%) in the control group (median age 5·3 years). The difference was significant using an age-adjusted logistic regression (P < 0·05). Prior to our study nine boys of the LS group (19%) and four boys of the control group (9%) had already been diagnosed with AD. CONCLUSIONS We have demonstrated a significant comorbidity between LS and AD in boys. AD seems to be a priming precondition for the development of LS in boys.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate regularity in the daily mood stabilizer dosage taken by patients with bipolar disorder, and identify factors associated with irregularity. METHODS Self-reported daily mood and medication data were available from 206 patients who took the same mood stabilizer for ≥100 days. Approximate entropy (ApEn) was used to measure serial regularity in daily mood stabilizer dosage. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to estimate if demographic or clinical variables were associated with ApEn. RESULTS There was a wide range of regularity in the daily mood stabilizer dosage. The mean percent of days of missing doses was 13.6%. The number of psychotropic medications (p=0.007), pill burden (p=0.004) and percent of days with depressed mood (p=0.013) were associated with more irregularity, while the percent of days euthymic (p=0.014) was associated with less irregularity. The percent of days missing doses was not associated with the number of medications, pill burden or mood ratings. DISCUSSION Patients may have irregularity in daily dosage in spite of a low percent of days missing doses. Psychotropic medication regimen complexity and depression are associated with increased dosage irregularity. Research is needed on how irregularity in daily dosage impacts the continuity of drug action of mood stabilizers.

Abstract
Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 is a commonly mutated gene in acute myeloid leukemia, with about one-third of patients carrying an internal-tandem duplication of the juxtamembrane domain in the receptor (FLT3-ITD). FLT3-ITD exhibits altered signaling quality, including aberrant activation of STAT5. To identify genes affecting FLT3-ITD-mediated STAT5 signaling, we performed an esiRNA-based RNAi screen utilizing a STAT5-driven reporter assay. Knockdowns that caused reduced FLT3-ITD-mediated STAT5 signaling were enriched for genes encoding proteins involved in protein secretion and intracellular protein transport, indicating that modulation of protein transport processes could potentially be used to reduce constitutive STAT5 signaling in FLT3-ITD-positive cells. The relevance of KDELR1, a component involved in the Golgi-ER retrograde transport, was further analyzed. In FLT3-ITD-expressing leukemic MV4-11 cells, downregulation of KDELR1 resulted in reduced STAT5 activation, proliferation and colony-forming capacity. Stable shRNA-mediated depletion of KDELR1 in FLT3-ITD-expressing 32D cells likewise resulted in reduced STAT5 signaling and cell proliferation. Importantly, these cells also showed a reduced capacity to generate a leukemia-like disease in syngeneic C3H/HeJ mice. Together our data suggest intracellular protein transport as a potential target for FLT3-ITD driven leukemias, with KDELR1 emerging as a positive modulator of oncogenic FLT3-ITD activity.

Abstract
Microglial phagocytosis plays a key role in neuroprotective and neurodegenerative responses of the innate immune system in the brain. Here we investigated the regulatory function of phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ (PI3Kγ) in phagocytosis of bacteria and Zymosan particles by mouse brain microglia in vitro and in vivo. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches our data revealed PI3Kγ as an essential mediator of microglial phagocytosis. Unexpectedly, microglia expressing lipid kinase deficient mutant PI3Kγ exhibited similar phagocytosis as wild-type cells. These data suggest kinase-independent stimulation of cAMP phosphodiesterase activity by PI3Kγ as a crucial mediator of phagocytosis. In sum our findings indicate PI3Kγ-dependent suppression of cAMP signaling as a critical regulatory element of microglial phagocytosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT in low dose technique is the criterion standard imaging modality for evaluation of the paranasal sinus. Our aim was to evaluate the dose-reduction potential of a recently available sinogram-affirmed iterative reconstruction technique, regarding noise, image quality, and time duration when evaluating this region. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT was performed on a phantom head at different tube voltages (120 kV, 100 kV) and currents (100 mAs, 50 mAs, 25 mAs). Each protocol was reconstructed (in soft tissue and bony kernel) by using standard filtered back-projection and 5 different SAFIRE strengths, and image noise was evaluated. Subjective image quality was evaluated on noise-aligned image triplets acquired at tube currents of 100% (FBP), 50% (SAFIRE), and 25% (SAFIRE) by using a 5-point scale (1 = worst, 5 = best). The time duration for image reconstruction was noted for calculations with FBP and SAFIRE. RESULTS SAFIRE reduced image noise by 15%-85%, depending on the iterative strength, rendering kernel, and dose parameters. Noise reduction was stronger at a bone kernel algorithm both in 1- and 3-mm images (P < .05). Subjective quality evaluation of the noise-adapted images showed preference for those acquired at 100% tube current with FBP (4.7-5.0) versus 50% dose with SAFIRE (3.4-4.4) versus 25% dose with SAFIRE (2.0-3.1). The time duration for FBP image sets was 2.9-6.6 images per second versus SAFIRE with 0.9-1.6 images per second. CONCLUSIONS For CT of the paranasal sinus, SAFIRE algorithms are suitable for image-noise reduction. Because image quality decreases with dosage, careful choice of the appropriate iterative method is necessary to achieve an optimal balance between image noise and quality.

Abstract
A unique non-laying strain of chickens with heritable hyperlipidemia and aortic atherosclerosis was first described in 1974. Subsequent work established that the phenotype results from a naturally occurring point mutation in the gene specifying the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor, a 95-kDa membrane protein which normally mediates the massive uptake of the main circulating hepatically-synthesized yolk precursors, VLDL and vitellogenin. As a result, hens of the mutant strain termed "restricted ovulator" (R/O) have approximately 5-fold elevations in circulating cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations compared with normal layers, and hepatic lipogenesis and cholesterogenesis are markedly attenuated due to feedback inhibition. R/O hens also exhibit hyperestrogenemia, hypoprogesteronemia, elevated circulating gonadotropins, and up-regulated pituitary progesterone receptor mRNA and isoforms. The ovaries of R/O hens are abnormal in that they lack a follicular hierarchy and contain many small preovulatory follicles of various colors, shapes, and sizes. However, since R/O hens occasionally lay eggs, it is possible that endocytic receptors other than the VLDL receptor may be able to facilitate oocyte growth and/or that yolk precursor uptake can occur via a nonspecific bulk process. A mammalian model of impaired fecundity with abnormal lipoprotein metabolism also has been described, but different mechanisms are likely responsible for its reproductive dysfunction. Nevertheless, as our understanding of the molecular physiology and biochemistry of avian oocyte growth continues to expand, in part due to studies of the R/O model, new analogies may emerge between avian and mammalian systems, which ultimately could help to answer important questions in reproductive biology.

Abstract
Newborn mammals suffering from moderate hypoxia during or after birth are able to compensate a transitory lack of oxygen by adaptation of their vital functions. However, limited information is available about bivariate couplings of the underlying complex processes controlled by the autonomic nervous system. In this study an animal model of seven newborn piglets (2-3 days old, 1.71 ± 0.15 kg) was used. The aim of this study was to analyze the cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory interactions of autonomous nervous system during sustained hypoxia and the interrelationship of these autonomic time series after induced reoxygenation. For this purpose we applied a new high resolution version of the nonlinear method of Joint Symbolic Dynamics (JSD) for analysis of couplings between heart rate and blood pressure and respiration rate time series, respectively. This new method is characterized by using three defined symbols (JSD3) instead of two and the application of thresholds for the symbol transformation. Our results demonstrate that in contrast to the traditional JSD the comparison of cardiovascular interactions reveals only significant differences between normoxic and hypoxic conditions using JSD3 whereas for cardiorespiratory interactions significant differences were revealed by indices from both JSD2 and JSD3 due to reoxygenation. These results suggest that the application of JSD3 reveals more detailed information about cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory interactions of autonomic regulation and might be useful for monitoring of critical human newborns.

Abstract
Introduction In a previous study we evaluated the risk for malnutrition among urological patients in a German university hospital. There are published different studies in other surgical fields that could show a correlation between malnutrition and clinical outcome. As data on this issue is still rare in the urological field we aimed to correlate the risk of malnutrition with different parameters regarding clinical outcome. Methods In the time from 2007 to 2009 a total of 320 patients were evaluated regarding the risk of malnutrition and occurrence of complications during the time of hospitalization at our Urological department. The Nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS) by Kondrup et al. was used for the estimation of the risk level for malnutrition. Patients of a German university hospital were included independently of intervention, age or gender. Parameters for clinical outcome were: pulmonary complications (infectious/noninfectious), cardiovascular complications (infectious/noninfectious), other infections (urinary tract infection etc.), wound healing disorders and time of hospitalization. Results In this evaluation 320 patients were included for analysis. Forty patients (13%) presented with a normal nutritional status (NRS score 0) at the time of admission to the hospital and 212 patients (66%) were at risk for forming malnutrition problems (NRS score 1-2). sixty eight patients (21%) of this urological cohort were detected with a malnutrition according to the applied NRS score (≥3). Regarding the occurrence of overall complications in this cohort the rate was rather low compared to other surgical fields. Of 320 patients only 22 patients (7%) presented with relevant complications during their hospitalization. However if data were stratified for peri- and postoperative complications in correlation to nutritional status of patients, an evident trend to a higher complication rate of 9% was obvious. Conclusions In our cohort of exclusively urological patients, the risk for post-surgical complications was higher in patients who were malnourished as defined using the Nutritional Risc Screening System (NRS) by Kondrup et al. Further studies need to show whether an adequate nutritional supportive therapy could help to optimize the clinical outcome of malnourished urological patients.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is meanwhile an established procedure. It has been employed for several neurological diseases with impressive therapeutic responses to some extent. Stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus can distinctively improve tremor associated with essential tremor or Parkinson disease. Similarly, stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus or the globus pallidus internus can substantially diminish bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. Additionally, by means of a reduced dopaminergic therapy, it can lead to an improvement of the L-Dopa induced dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson disease. In recent years, DBS has also been used for other neurological and psychiatric diseases. Yet, the exact mechanism of action on a neuronal level remains uncertain. Regardless of the underlying disease and the surgical electrode positioning, a meticulous patient selection and correct indication is of paramount importance for the therapeutic success.
