Abstract
BACKGROUND Analysing a community's needs and requirements is useful for planning a community-based health promotion programme. The literature recommends the analysis of existing population-based data, the discussion with a community's key persons, and standardised surveys among the community members. With regagrd to the latter method, German-language literature is scarce. AIM A community analysis in the Bavarian rural community Karlshuld (5 000 inhabitants) was intended to provide a starting point for tailored health promotion activities in the community. As a part of the community analysis, a survey among the Karlshuld citizens was intended to inform about (1) health-related knowledge and behaviour of the community members, (2) their utilization and acceptance of existing health-related offers and activities, (3) their possibilities for active participation, their state of empowerment and (4) community-related aspects influencing quality of life. METHODS A standardised telephone survey was performed with a random sample of Karlshuld community members aged 15 years and older. The questions covered health-related living conditions and activities in Karlshuld, quality of life and participation of community members. In addition, data were collected on knowledge, attitude and behaviour with regard to the issues nutrition, physical activity and tobacco consumption. The sample comprised 314 community members (f=68.8%; age 43.9+/-13.8 years). RESULTS Shortcomings in knowledge on healthy nutrition were evident, especially among male participants. Whereas the general attitude towards a healthy diet was favourable in the majority of respondents, only 45.9%/58.6% stated that they daily consumed vegetables/fruit. One third of the 27.4% smokers among the respondents had intended but failed to quit smoking in the previous year; 80% stated they were willing to quit. The participants named infrastructure, nature and health-related activities as positive aspects in Karlshuld. Only 50% knew where to get information on health-related issues. 42.9% of respondents felt they could influence decisions on health-related issues in the community. There was no correlation between school education and knowledge or participation. DISCUSSION The survey among Karlshuld community members identified potential approaches to improving the community environment and to tailor health education activities to the special needs of Karlshuld. A follow-up survey in 2008/2009 will be carried out in order to evaluate whether or not the Karlshuld health promotion programme was successful in building on Karlshuld's strengths and influencing its weaknesses.

Abstract
PURPOSE The assessment of inducible wall motion abnormalities during high-dose dobutamine-stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DCMR) is well established for the identification of myocardial ischemia at 1.5 Tesla. Its feasibility at higher field strengths has not been reported. The present study was performed to prospectively determine the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of DCMR at 3 Tesla for depicting hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis (> or = 50% diameter stenosis) in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty consecutive patients (6 women) (66 +/- 9.3 years) were scheduled for DCMR between January and May 2007 for detection of coronary artery disease. Patients were examined with a Philips Achieva 3 Tesla system (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands), using a spoiled gradient echo cine sequence. Technical parameters were: spatial resolution 2 x 2 x 8 mm3, 30 heart phases, spoiled gradient echo TR/TE: 4.5/2.6 msec, flip angle 15 degrees . Images were acquired at rest and stress in accordance with a standardized high-dose dobutamine-atropine protocol during short breath-holds in three short and three long-axis views. Dobutamine was administered using a standard protocol (10 microg increments every 3 minutes up to 40 microg dobutamine/kg body weight/minute plus atropine if required to reach target heart rate). The study protocol included administration of 0.1 mmol/kg/body weight Gd-DTPA before the cine images at rest were acquired to improve the image quality. The examination was terminated if new or worsening wall-motion abnormalities or chest pain occurred or when > 85% of age-predicted maximum heart rate was reached. Myocardial ischemia was defined as new onset of wall-motion abnormality in at least one segment. In addition, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was performed. Images were evaluated by two blinded readers. Diagnostic accuracy was determined with coronary angiography as the reference standard. Image quality and wall-motion at rest and maximum stress level were evaluated using a four-point scale. RESULTS In 27 patients DCMR was performed successfully, no patient had to be excluded due to insufficient image quality. Twenty-two patients were examined by coronary angiography, which depicted significant stenosis in 68.2% of the patients. Patient-based sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 85.7% respectively and accuracy was 81.8%. Interobserver variability for assessment of wall motion abnormalities was 88% (kappa = 0.760; p < 0.0001). Negative and positive predictive values were 66.7% and 92.3%, respectively. No significant differences in average image quality at rest versus stress for short or long-axis cine images were found. CONCLUSION High-dose DCMR at 3T is feasible and an accurate method to depict significant coronary artery stenosis in patients with suspected or known CAD.

Abstract
Ischaemia, loss of neural tissue, glial cell activation and tissue remodelling are symptoms of anterior ischaemic as well as glaucomatous optic neuropathy leading to pallor of the optic nerve head. Here, we describe a simple method for the pallor measurement using a fundus camera equipped with a colour CCD camera and a special dual bandpass filter. The reproducibility of the determined mean pallor value was 11.7% (coefficient of variation for repeated measurements in the same subject); the variation over six healthy subjects was 14.8%. A significant difference between the mean pallor of an atrophic disc and that of the contralateral eye of the same individual was found. However, even the clinically unaffected eye showed a significantly increased pallor compared to the mean of the healthy control group. Thus, optic disc pallor measurement, as described here, may be helpful in the early detection and follow-up of optic neuropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Static vessel analysis is a method to determine the diameter of retinal vessels in images of the ocular fundus. The suitability of non-mydriatic and mydriatic images for that method and the influence of mydriasis on the results were examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the prospective study, 30 eyes of 15 patients (10 women, mean age 51.6 +/- 13.2 years) were examined. At first, 3 images were taken of each eye with the retinal camera Topcon NW 200 (magnification 1). After pupil dilation with tropicamid eye drops, 3 more images were taken using the Topcon and 3 others using the system Visualis (IMEDOS, Jena/Germany, FF450plus, 535-561 nm, 30 degrees image, 1840 x 1360 pixel). The vessel diameters were measured with the software Vesselmap2 (IMEDOS). The investigator assigned vessels to arteries or veins and their diameters were calculated automatically by the software. There is the possibility to define the vessel edge manually in cases of a poor image quality. The calculation of the central retinal arterial and venous equivalent (CRAE, CRVE) as well as the arterio-venous ratio (AVR) were made according to the formula of Parr-Hubbard. Furthermore, the nasal retinal vessels > 60 microm were examined to estimate the influence of tropicamid on the vessel diameter. RESULTS Because of insufficient illumination and poor contrast in 21 % of the non-mydriatic images not all vessels could be detected automatically. Additionally, fewer vessels could be detected in 7 % of the non-mydriatic images compared to the mydriatic images. The average coefficient of variation of CRAE and AVR of each triplet of images was higher in non-mydriatic images (2.6 % and 3.2 %, respectively) than in mydriatic images of the Topcon (1.8 %; 2.3 %) and the FF 450 (1.7 %; 1.8 % ANOVA p < 0.05). No significant differences were found between the various examination methods for both the coefficient of variation of CRVE (1.9 %; 1.8 %; 1.7 %) and the average values of CRAE, CRVE and AVR. With regard to their diameters, the nasal retinal arteries and veins > 60 microm, were depicted sufficiently in all images, and only differed insignificantly between the three methods. CONCLUSION The quality of non-mydriatic images is often lower than that of mydriatic images. This fact can account for the high variance of measured parameters in the non-mydriatic images. The depiction of all relevant vessel segments is a precondition for the image-based analysis. An influence of the mydriasis caused by tropicamid on the retinal vessel diameters > 60 microm was not found.

Abstract
PURPOSE Community-based health promotion (CBHP) aims at mobilising citizens for health-related issues in their environment, and at implementing health-promoting projects on the community level. Whereas recent political decisions support this approach, scientific studies dealing with theories and consequences of CBHP are scarce in Germany. Evaluation of CBHP could help identify (in)effective factors and elements of community programmes and thus improve future planning. In Germany, however, there is a deficit in systematic concepts and recommendations for the evaluation of CBHP. This work outlines basic ideas and core principles of CBHP and deduces implications for the assessment of health-promoting community projects. METHODS Based on different international models and studies and on discussions with health promotion professionals, we developed a framework for the evaluation of CBHP. RESULTS The proposed framework includes a guideline for CBHP programme planning. Its strategic and operational criteria can serve as a basis for a strategy evaluation. In terms of process evaluation, indicators for the dimensions (1) programme implementation and service delivery, (2) capacity building, and (3) reach of and acceptability in the target group were developed. In addition, we present different areas of OUTCOME EVALUATION; it is advisable to distinguish between measurement on the individual and on the community level. The framework further proposes strategies for the evaluation of the core principles empowerment and participation. CONCLUSION The presented framework can serve as a basis for the development of flexible and individual instruments for the evaluation of CBHP, which should not ignore the perspective of the citizens, or complex aspects like changes on the community level. Some aspects, e.g., the potential evaluation of further targets of CBHP (improvement of quality of life, reduction of social and health inequalities), the responsibility of evaluation or the effects of financial constraints, are important questions to be addressed in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Germany, screening rates remain low. It is unknown whether local approaches to promoting colorectal cancer screening are effective. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a regional awareness campaign consisting of public information sessions and leaflet distribution, upon the use of colorectal cancer screening by faecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy. METHODS Data on FOBT and colonoscopy were collected by doctors for 12 months following the campaign, including reason for and result of the testing. 37 % (n = 43) of all physicians and practitioners in two administrative districts (249 632 inhabitants) that were exposed to the campaign participated in the study. It was recorded whether the individuals requesting colorectal cancer screening had been prompted by the campaign, so the number and outcome of campaign-related tests was determined. RESULTS 3398 individuals (male: 54.6 %, female: 45.4 %, age: 64.3 +/- 8.3 years) underwent 3551 screening tests (2446 FOBT, 819 colonoscopy, 133 both). 141 additional diagnostic colonoscopies were performed because of a positive result in the FOBT. Adenomas were detected in 279 individuals, malignancies in 11 individuals. 225 FOBT (8.7 %) and 176 colonoscopies (18.5 %) were performed due to the campaign; among these individuals, 49 had adenoma(s), 1 had carcinoma. The effect could be attributed both to leaflets and to information sessions. The proportion of campaign-related screening tests declined over time. CONCLUSION The regional information campaign could reach target individuals and motivate them to utilise colorectal cancer screening. The combination of mass media and personal communicative elements seems useful.
