Abstract
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau neutrinos that interact in Earth's crust. Tau leptons from nu(tau) charged-current interactions can emerge and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a significant electromagnetic component. The data collected between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007 are used to place an upper limit on the diffuse flux of nu(tau) at EeV energies. Assuming an E(nu)(-2) differential energy spectrum the limit set at 90% C.L. is E(nu)(2)dN(nu)(tau)/dE(nu)<1.3 x 10(-7) GeV cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) in the energy range 2 x 10(17) eV< E(nu)< 2 x 10(19) eV.

Abstract
Soft-tissue management is essential for the outcome in total knee arthroplasty. In combination with osseous resections and component positioning, correction of the underlying ligamentous dysbalance should yield a stable joint throughout the flexion arc. Different "philosophies" with regard to technique, timing and tactics in ligament balancing are described. So far, surgeons have not been provided with standardised devices that allow the objective measurement of this complex issue. Moreover, knowledge concerning the "ideal" soft-tissue stability following knee arthroplasty is still sparse. As part of the scientific project "OrthoMIT" (minimal invasive orthopaedic therapy) an approach to combine conventional soft-tissue management with navigation and force-sensing devices should be realized technically. The aim is to develop an instrument for the objective measurement of soft-tissue management in scientific and clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The routine use of distal filter devices during carotid angioplasty and stent placement (CAS) is controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze their effects on the incidence of new diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions as surrogate markers for stroke in important subgroups. MATERIALS AND METHODS DWI was performed immediately before and after CAS in 68 patients with and 175 without protection, and patients were further subdivided according to their age or symptom status. RESULTS The proportion of patients with new ipsilateral DWI lesion(s) was significantly lower after protected versus unprotected CAS (52% versus 68%), as well as in symptomatic patients (56% versus 74%) or those at or younger than 75 years of age (46% versus 67%; all P < .05). Similarly, the total number of lesions was significantly lower after protected versus unprotected CAS (median, 1; interquartile range [IQR], 0-2; versus median, 1; IQR 0-4.75) and in symptomatic patients (median, 1; IQR, 0-3; versus median, 2; IQR, 0-6) or those at or younger than 75 years of age (median, 0; IQR, 0-2; versus median, 1; IQR, 0-4; all P < .05). In contrast, for asymptomatic patients (48% versus 52%; P = .8; median, 0; IQR, 0-2; versus median, 1; IQR, 0-2.5; P = .6) or those older than 75 years of age (73% versus 69%; P = .7; median, 1; IQR, 0-4; versus median, 1.5; IQR, 0-5.75; P = .6), the proportion of patients with new lesion(s) and the total number of these lesions were not significantly different between protected and unprotected CAS. CONCLUSIONS The use of distal filter devices generally reduces the incidence of new DWI lesions; however, this beneficial effect might not necessarily pertain to older and asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated baseline levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an adverse outcome during coronary stent placement. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether preprocedural CRP levels also are predictive of stroke and death in patients undergoing carotid stent placement (CAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed data prospectively collected from 130 patients (97 men, 33 women; mean age, 68.5 +/- 10.1 years; range, 43-89 years) who underwent CAS for symptomatic carotid stenosis and from whom preprocedural CRP values had been obtained. A CRP value of >5 mg/L was considered to be elevated. The frequency of stroke and death within 30 days was compared between patients with and without elevated baseline CRP levels using chi(2) and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Baseline CRP values were normal in 94 (72.3%) patients but were elevated in 36 (27.7%) patients. The demographic and clinical characteristics were similar in both treatment groups. The 30-day stroke and death rate was significantly higher in patients with elevated CRP values (8/36; 22.2%) than in those without (3/94; 3.2%; P < .01). After adjusting for demographic characteristics, degree of carotid stenosis, and use of cerebral protection devices and/or statin therapy, an elevated CRP value before CAS remained a significant and independent predictor of stroke and death within 30 days after CAS (odds ratio, 7.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.8-32.8, P = .006). CONCLUSIONS Baseline CRP is a powerful predictor of outcome in patients undergoing CAS, which underscores the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of embolic complications during this procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of a systematic change in a patient's position [prone position, continuous lateral rotational therapy (CLRT)] have been investigated in recent years in acute lung injury and have shown an improvement in oxygenation, but controversial results regarding duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care treatment and mortality compared to conventionally treated patients. We were interested in the practice and acceptance of positioning therapy in German intensive care units (ICU) and performed a national postal survey with respect to evaluation of indications, preference of particular positions, observed complications and additional aspects (costs, influence on other intensive care measures etc.). METHODS A questionnaire (12 multiple choice items) was sent to 1,763 ICUs, which were identified from the "Deutsches Krankenhausadressbuch" (German hospital address book 2005). The analysis was performed anonymously. RESULTS A total of 702 questionnaires (40.4%) were returned and analysed. The 135 degrees position (incomplete prone position) was most frequently used (50%), while the prone position (25%) and CLRT (18%) were less frequent. The improvement in oxygenation (95%) and the prevention of ventilator-associated complications (75.7%) were important indications for positioning therapy. Results of a blood gas analysis provided the necessary criteria for determining positional therapy. Supporters of the prone position advocated lower cost and better efficacy in comparison to CLRT. The frequency of complications during positioning therapy was reported to be high: hemodynamic instability (73.6%), accidental loss of tube/catheters (50.4%) and patient intolerance (40.7%) were often observed, and complication-free positioning therapy was reported in only 8.6%. CONCLUSIONS The 135 degrees position (incomplete prone position) is the most frequently used positioning therapy in Germany for improvement of oxygenation in patients with acute lung injury. Prone position and CLRT are less frequently used, probably due to an increased frequency of (expected) complications. The authors assume that clear guidelines and algorithms are needed to establish a more routine, safe practical application and a reduction in the complication rate.

Abstract
The identification of the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion in prostate cancer suggests that distinct molecular subtypes may define risk for disease progression. In surgical series, TMPRSS2:ERG fusion was identified in 50% of the tumors. Here, we report on a population-based cohort of men with localized prostate cancers followed by expectant (watchful waiting) therapy with 15% (17/111) TMPRSS2:ERG fusion. We identified a statistically significant association between TMPRSS2:ERG fusion and prostate cancer specific death (cumulative incidence ratio=2.7, P<0.01, 95% confidence interval=1.3-5.8). Quantitative reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated high ets-related [corrected] gene (ERG) expression to be associated with TMPRSS2:ERG fusion (P<0.005). These data suggest that TMPRSS2:ERG fusion prostate cancers may have a more aggressive phenotype, possibly mediated through increased ERG expression.

Abstract
The authors administered procarbazine, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU, lomustine), and vincristine (PCV) to 86 patients with recurrent glioblastoma. There were three partial responses, but no complete responses. Median progression-free survival was 17.1 weeks and progression-free survival at 6 months was 38.4%. World Health Organization grade III/IV hematologic toxicity was common (25.6%), but nonhematologic toxicity was mild.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few medications have been tested for outpatient alcohol detoxification. Previously we had shown a combination of carbamazepine and tiapride to be effective in an open study. This database is an extension of our previous work. METHODS This was an open prospective study to examine the efficacy, practicability and medical safety of a combination of tiapride and carbamazepine in outpatient detoxification of alcohol dependent patients. Patients were carefully screened for relevant neuropsychiatric disorders and then seen on a daily outpatient basis. RESULTS A total number of 116 consecutively admitted patients entered the programme; 107 (92%) successfully ended the treatment. The mean initial dose for tiapride was 289 mg and for carbamazepine 502 mg. No serious medical complications or adverse events were observed except for one case of delirium tremens. Only four patients dropped out because of side effects. In general medication was well tolerated. Withdrawal symptomatology as indicated by CIWA-A-scores decreased over time. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study give further evidence for a combination of tiapride and the anticonvulsant carbamazepine as an effective and safe treatment for outpatient alcohol detoxification in patients with moderate severity of withdrawal syndrome. Further randomized trials are warranted to examine the efficacy of this combination in outpatient alcohol withdrawal.
