Abstract
OBJECTIVE The benefit of a nasal corticosteroid in the treatment of persistent post-infectious smell disorders is not as clear in previous studies as is assumed for olfactory training. This study would therefore like to describe the treatment strategies using the example of a persistent olfactory dysfunction as a result of a proven infection with SARS-CoViD-2-virus. METHODS Twenty patients (average age of 33.9 ± 11.9 years) with hyposmia were included in this study from December 2020 to July 2021. Every second patient received additionally a nasal corticosteroid. The two resulting randomized groups of equal size were screened with the TDI test, a 20-item taste powder test for the assessment of retronasal olfaction and otorhinolaryngological examination. The patients were asked to train twice daily using a standardized odor training kit and followed up after 2 months and 3 months, respectively. RESULTS We documented a significant overall improvement in olfactory ability over the investigation period in both groups. While the TDI score steadily increased on average under the combination therapy, the rise under olfactory training alone was initially steeper. This short-term interaction effect over mean two months was not statistically significant. According to Cohen, however, a moderate effect (eta2 = 0.055, Cohen`s d = 0.5) can still be assumed. This effect could be explained by a possibly higher compliance at the beginning of the sole olfactory training due to the lack of further drug treatment offers. When the training intensity decreases, the recovery of the sense of smell stagnates. Adjunctive therapy ultimately outweighs this short-term benefit. CONCLUSIONS The results reinforce the recommendation of early and consistent olfactory training on patients with dysosmia due to COVID-19. For continuous improvement of the sense of smell, an accompanying topical treatment seems at least to be worth consideration. The results should be optimized with larger cohorts and using new objective olfactometric methods.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pharyngolaryngectomy with jejunal free-flap (JFF) reconstruction can be offered for locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. However, the procedure carries significant morbidity. Postoperative serial serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has been shown to be a marker predicting postoperative complications, and the aim of this study was to describe the dynamics and value of CRP in this patient group. METHODS Retrospective analysis of pharyngolaryngectomies with JFF reconstruction was performed in our institution. Daily postoperative CRP values were analysed within the first 14 days, as were complications. RESULTS Twenty-one cases were included. Total morbidity was 57.1% including 14.3% (temporary) anastomotic leaks and 14.3% flap failures. Patients in the normal group showed peak CRP levels around postoperative day 2 (2.2). Increased CRP levels on or after day 4 were associated with complications (p<0.01) with a sensitivity of 83.3% and specificity of 77.8%. In keeping with CRP kinetics from other surgical studies, peak CRP values on day 2 or 3 are expected, followed by a decline. Peaks in CRP on day 4 or later raise the suspicion of complications. CRP is not specific for any one complication but rather can help guide early appropriate clinical assessment and management. CONCLUSIONS The natural postoperative CRP response peaks around postoperative day 2 (2.2) and declines thereafter. Rising CRP levels after postoperative day 3 are suspicious of surgical complications (p<0.01) with positive and negative predictive values of 83.3% and 77.8%, respectively. Therefore, serial postoperative CRP can be used as an adjunct to monitor outcomes in this group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex, chronic autoimmune disease, and its diagnosis triggers considerable anxiety and uncertainty for those affected. There are currently no valid data describing the impact of disease-specific patient education on the disease knowledge, subjective impairment, and changes in lifestyle habits related to AAV. METHOD We designed a one-day educational programme to serve AAV patients with information about their disease and its treatment. Patients were randomized into an intervention group and a waiting list control group. Increase in knowledge was measured with a multiple-choice test. The intervention group completed the questionnaire before, directly after, and 3 months after the seminar, while the waiting list control group was additionally tested 3 months before the seminar to rule out non-specific learning. Furthermore, we investigated the burden of the disease and the impact of our intervention on this burden. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the intervention increased the knowledge (mean ± sd score difference 2.2 ± 1.0, 95% confidence interval 0.1-4.3, p = 0.04). From the patients' point of view, their understanding of the disease had improved and the subjective impairment caused by their rheumatic disease had decreased. There was a tendency to include disease-relevant behaviour, such as nasal care or dietary recommendations, more often in everyday life. CONCLUSION A one-day seminar is suitable to increase the disease-specific knowledge of patients with AAV in a sustainable manner. In addition, our measure positively affected the disease-relevant behaviour.

Abstract
The Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery (NOMAD) instrument suite aboard ExoMars/Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft is mainly conceived for the study of minor atmospheric species, but it also offers the opportunity to investigate surface composition and aerosols properties. We investigate the information content of the Limb, Nadir, and Occultation (LNO) infrared channel of NOMAD and demonstrate how spectral orders 169, 189, and 190 can be exploited to detect surface CO2 ice. We study the strong CO2 ice absorption band at 2.7 μm and the shallower band at 2.35 μm taking advantage of observations across Martian Years 34 and 35 (March 2018 to February 2020), straddling a global dust storm. We obtain latitudinal-seasonal maps for CO2 ice in both polar regions, in overall agreement with predictions by a general climate model and with the Mars Express/OMEGA spectrometer Martian Years 27 and 28 observations. We find that the narrow 2.35 μm absorption band, spectrally well covered by LNO order 189, offers the most promising potential for the retrieval of CO2 ice microphysical properties. Occurrences of CO2 ice spectra are also detected at low latitudes and we discuss about their interpretation as daytime high altitude CO2 ice clouds as opposed to surface frost. We find that the clouds hypothesis is preferable on the basis of surface temperature, local time and grain size considerations, resulting in the first detection of CO2 ice clouds through the study of this spectral range. Through radiative transfer considerations on these detections we find that the 2.35 μm absorption feature of CO2 ice clouds is possibly sensitive to nm-sized ice grains.

Abstract
For large-scale analysis of complex protein mixtures, liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been proven to be one of the most versatile tools due to its high sensitivity and ability to both identify and quantify thousands of proteins in a single measurement. Sample preparation typically comprises site-specific cleavage of proteins into peptides, followed by desalting and concomitant peptide enrichment, which is commonly performed by solid phase extraction. Desalting workflows may include multiple liquid handling steps and are thus error prone and labour intensive. To improve the reproducibility of sample preparation for low amounts of protein, we present a centrifugal microfluidic disk that automates all liquid handling steps required for peptide desalting by solid phase extraction (DesaltingDisk). Microfluidic implementation was enabled by a novel centrifugal microfluidic dosing on demand structure that enabled mapping multiple washing steps onto a microfluidic disk. Evaluation of the microfluidic disk was performed by LC-MS/MS analysis of tryptic HEK-293 eukaryotic cell peptide mixtures desalted either using the microfluidic disk or a manual workflow. A comparable number of peptides were identified in the disk and manual set with 19 775 and 20 212 identifications, respectively. For a core set of 10 444 peptides that could be quantified in all injections, intensity coefficients of variation were calculated based on label-free quantitation intensities. The disk set featured smaller variability with a median CV of 9.3% compared to the median CV of 12.6% for the manual approach. Intensity CVs on protein level were lowered from 5.8% to 4.2% when using the LabDisk. Interday reproducibility for both workflows was assessed by LC-SRM/MS analysis of samples that were spiked with 11 synthetic peptides of varying hydrophobicity. Except for the most hydrophilic and hydrophobic peptides, the average CV was lowered to 3.6% for the samples processed with the disk compared to 7.2% for the manual workflow. The presented centrifugal microfluidic DesaltingDisk demonstrates the potential to improve reproducibility in the sample preparation workflow for proteomic mass spectrometry, especially for application with limited amount of sample material.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and purpose
Catheter-directed treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is technically advancing. Recent guidelines acknowledge this treatment option for patients with overt or imminent haemodynamic decompensation, particularly when systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated or has failed. We investigated baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of patients with PE who underwent catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the German nationwide inpatient cohort.
Methods
Data from hospitalizations with PE between 2005 and 2016 were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics (Statistisches Bundesamt) in Germany and included in this analysis. Patients with PE who underwent CDT were compared with patients receiving systemic thrombolysis, and those without thromboytic or other reperfusion treatment.
Results
We analyzed data from 978,094 hospitalized patients with PE. Of these, 41,903 (4.3%) patients received thrombolytic treatment (systemic thrombolysis in 4.2%, CDT in 0.1%). Among PE patients with shock, CDT was associated with lower in-hospital mortality compared to systemic thrombolysis (OR, 0.29, 95% CI 0.13–0.66, P=0.003). No intracranial bleeding occurred among PE patients with shock who received CDT. Among haemodynamically stable PE patients with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (intermediate-risk PE), CDT also was associated with a lower risk of in-hospital mortality compared to systemic thrombolysis (OR, 0.52 [95% CI 0.38–0.70]; P<0.001) or no thrombolytic treatment (0.45 [95% CI 0.33–0.62]; P<0.001).
Conclusion
In the German nationwide inpatient cohort, CDT was associated with lower in-hospital mortality rates compared to systemic thrombolysis. Prospective controlled data are urgently needed to determine the true value of this treatment option in acute PE.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry has become an important analytical tool for protein research studies to identify, characterise and quantify proteins with unmatched sensitivity in a highly parallel manner. When transferred into clinical routine, the cumbersome and error-prone sample preparation workflows present a major bottleneck. In this work, we demonstrate tryptic digestion of human serum that is fully automated by centrifugal microfluidics. The automated workflow comprises denaturation, digestion and acidification. The input sample volume is 1.3 μl only. A triplicate of human serum was digested with the developed microfluidic chip as well as with a manual reference workflow on three consecutive days to assess the performance of our system. After desalting and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, a total of 604 proteins were identified in the samples digested with the microfluidic chip and 602 proteins with the reference workflow. Protein quantitation was performed using the Hi3 method, yielding a 7.6% lower median intensity CV for automatically digested samples compared to samples digested with the reference workflow. Additionally, 17% more proteins were quantitated with less than 30% CV in the samples from the microfluidic chip, compared to the manual control samples. This improvement can be attributed to the accurate liquid metering with all volume CVs below 1.5% on the microfluidic chip. The presented automation solution is attractive for laboratories in need of robust automation of sample preparation from small volumes as well as for labs with a low or medium throughput that does not allow for large investments in robotic systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The six force-moment (F/M) components exerted by aligners of different thickness during simulated mesiorotation and distorotation of a mandibular canine were studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS An acrylic mandibular model with a separated right canine mounted on a hexapod via a 3D F/M sensor was used. Duran+® aligners (Scheu Dental, Germany) of thickness 0.5, 0.625, and 0.75 mm were fabricated on plaster models with the measurement tooth in its neutral position. The F/M values were recorded during progressive mesiorotation or distorotation of tooth 43 in 1° steps up to ±15°, corresponding to 0.5 mm displacements of the tooth's interdental contacts. Each rotation step included renewed seating of the aligner on the acrylic model. Three aligners were tested three times each for each thickness and direction of rotation. RESULTS The median rotational moments for the 0.5 mm aligner and 15° distorotation of tooth 43 was 27.49 Nmm (interquartile range, IQR 1.45 Nmm). The corresponding values for the 0.625 and 0.75 mm aligners were 41.04 Nmm (IQR 5.62 Nmm) and 42.48 Nmm (IQR 2.17 Nmm), respectively. The average rotational moments for distorotation were 15% higher than for mesiorotation (p = 0.01). Relatively high collateral F/M components, specifically an intrusive force and labiolingual and mesiodistal tipping moments, were observed. CONCLUSION To avoid overloading of periodontal structures, derotation of lower canines should be limited to 10° per setup step, leading to rotational moments of about 15 Nmm. The mechanical behavior of the 0.625 and 0.75 mm aligners were similar; thus, it may be omitted from the aligner sequence. Further studies are required to investigate specific aligner modifications or attachments for minimizing collateral F/M components or unwanted movements, respectively, during canine derotation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Measures for spinal cord atrophy have become increasingly important as imaging biomarkers in the assessment of neuroinflammatory diseases, especially in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. The most commonly used method, mean upper cervical cord area, is relatively easy to measure and can be performed on brain MRIs that capture cervical myelon. Measures of spinal cord volume (eg, cervical cord volume or total cord volume) require longer scanning and more complex analysis but are potentially better suited as spinal cord atrophy measures. This study investigated spinal cord atrophy measures in a cohort of healthy subjects and patients with aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and evaluated the discriminatory performance of mean upper cervical cord cross-sectional area compared with cervical cord volume and total cord volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mean upper cervical cord area, cervical cord volume, and total cord volume were measured using 3T MRIs from healthy subjects (n = 19) and patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (n = 30). Group comparison and receiver operating characteristic analyses between healthy controls and patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders were performed. RESULTS Mean upper cervical cord area, cervical cord volume, and total cord volume measures showed similar and highly significant group differences between healthy control subjects and patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (P < .01 for all). All 3 measures showed similar receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve values (mean upper cervical cord area = 0.70, cervical cord volume = 0.75, total cord volume = 0.77) with no significant difference between them. No associations among mean upper cervical cord cross-sectional area, cervical cord volume, or total cord volume with disability measures were found. CONCLUSIONS All 3 measures showed similar discriminatory power between healthy control and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders groups. Mean upper cervical cord area is easier to obtain compared with cervical cord volume and total cord volume and can be regarded as an efficient representative measure of spinal cord atrophy in the neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders context.

Abstract
We present a rare case of a big oesophageal liposarcoma causing dysphagia and weight loss in a 75-year-old patient. Endoscopically, a pedunculated lesion with subtotal obstruction of the oesophageal lumen had been detected and thoracoabdominal oesophageal resection with gastric sleeve reconstruction was performed. Surprisingly, a liposarcoma of the oesophagus was revealed on histopathological analysis, showing MDM2 overexpression. Oncological follow-up has been uneventful and the patient remains in good clinical shape at 15 months after surgery.

Abstract
Bridging critically ill pediatric patients to lung transplantation still remains a major challenge. Although still controversial, within the last 5 years, ECMO has been increasingly used as a bridge to lung transplantation concept in adult and pediatric patients with acceptable outcomes. The outstanding developments in the field of extracorporeal devices and the introduction of awake ECMO concepts with the avoidance of mechanical ventilation have led to a real paradigm shift in the ICU management of pretransplant candidates with severe respiratory failure. Therefore, ECMO is no longer seen as a contraindication for lung transplantation at least at our center. Nevertheless, how to bridge these patients on ECMO still remains controversial. Thus, we introduced an ambulatory ECMO approach in adolescent lung transplant candidates with acute respiratory failure using a dual cannulation strategy and hereby present first results from this procedure.

Abstract
Host cell invasion is a major feature of Staphylococcus aureus and contributes to infection development. The intracellular metabolically active bacteria can induce host cell activation and death but they can also persist for long time periods. In this study a comparative analysis was performed of different well-characterized S. aureus strains in their interaction with a variety of host cell types. Staphylococcus aureus (strains 6850, USA300, LS1, SH1000, Cowan1) invasion was compared in different human cell types (epithelial and endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, osteoblasts). The number of intracellular bacteria was determined, cell inflammation was investigated, as well as cell death and phagosomal escape of bacteria. To explain strain-dependent differences in the secretome, a proteomic approach was used. Barrier cells took up high amounts of bacteria and were killed by aggressive strains. These strains expressed high levels of toxins, and possessed the ability to escape from phagolysosomes. Osteoblasts and keratinocytes ingested less bacteria, and were not killed, even though the primary osteoblasts were strongly activated by S. aureus. In all cell types S. aureus was able to persist. Strong differences in uptake, cytotoxicity, and inflammatory response were observed between primary cells and their corresponding cell lines, demonstrating that cell lines reflect only partially the functions and physiology of primary cells. This study provides a contribution for a better understanding of the pathomechanisms of S. aureus infections. The proteomic data provide important basic knowledge on strains commonly used in the analysis of S. aureus-host cell interaction.

Abstract
Two 28-day feeding studies were performed in male rats to investigate combination effects of azole fungicides in a broad dose range. Following separate administration of cyproconazole, epoxiconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and tebuconazole at five dose levels, the first three compounds were selected to be administered in two different mixtures at three dose levels including very low doses. Here we present the data obtained by clinical observations, pathology, histopathology, clinical chemistry and haematology. The liver was the common main target organ of all compounds and their mixtures. In addition, epoxiconazole exhibited an effect on the adrenals. Furthermore, food consumption and efficiency and body weight (gain) were affected. Adverse effects of the combinations were observed at dose levels at which the individual substances caused similar effects. No evidence of adverse effects was found at dose levels below the previously established NOAELs. Our findings indicate that the concept of dose additivity appears sufficiently protective for risk assessment of the fungicides examined. Besides toxicological testing, tissue residues of the azole compounds in liver, testis and kidney were determined revealing remarkable differences following administration of the single substances and of the mixtures.

Abstract
Faecal microbiota transplantation has gained increasing attention over the last decade as various phenotypes could be transferred from a donor to a recipient in different animal models. Clinically, however, the sole indication with evidence from a randomized placebo controlled trial is refractory Clostridium difficile infection. Despite revealing successful clinical outcomes, questions concerning regulatory affairs, the identification of the best donor, the optimal mixture of the transplant as well as the preferred route of administration remain to be clarified even for this indication. Initiated by the idea that alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota are associated with intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease, several studies investigated whether faecal microbiota transplantation would be an equally suitable approach for these devastating disorders. Indeed, the available data indicate changes in the microbiota composition following faecal microbial transplantation depending on the degree of intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, first data even provide evidence that the transplantation of an "optimized" microbiota induces clinical remission in ulcerative colitis. However, despite these intriguing results it needs to be considered that not only "a cure of inflammation", but also risk factors and phenotypes including obesity can be transferred via faecal microbiota transplantation. Thus, a deeper understanding of the impact of a distinct microbiota composition is required before "designing" the optimal faecal microbiota transplant.

Abstract
Advances in omics techniques and molecular toxicology are necessary to provide new perspectives for regulatory toxicology. By the application of modern molecular techniques, more mechanistic information should be gained to support standard toxicity studies and to contribute to a reduction and refinement of animal experiments required for certain regulatory purposes. The relevance and applicability of data obtained by omics methods to regulatory purposes such as grouping of chemicals, mode of action analysis or classification and labelling needs further improvement, defined validation and cautious expert judgment. Based on the results of an international expert workshop organized 2014 by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Berlin, this paper is aimed to provide a critical overview of the regulatory relevance and reliability of omics methods, basic requirements on data quality and validation, as well as regulatory criteria to decide which effects observed by omics methods should be considered adverse or non-adverse. As a way forward, it was concluded that the inclusion of omics data can facilitate a more flexible approach for regulatory risk assessment and may help to reduce or refine animal testing.

Abstract
Mit Hilfe radio-gaschromatographischer Methoden wurde die Wirkung von zahlreichen Aminen auf die retendierte 82Br-Aktivität in neutronenbestrahltem n- und iso-Propylbromid untersucht. Während tertiäre Amine beim n-Propylbromid eine beträchtliche Retentions-Erhöhung hervorrufen, bewirken alle untersuchten Aminzusätze beim iso-Propylbromid eine Retentions-Erniedrigung. Der Betrag der Retentions-Erniedrigung scheint weitgehend der chemischen Reaktionsfähigkeit der Amine mit dem bestrahlten Propylbromid zu entsprechen. Die bemerkenswerte Retentions-Erhöhung durch tertiäre Amine beim n-Propylbromid ist um so größer, je stärker ausgeprägt sein Quartärnisierungs-Vermögen mit n-Propylbromid ist. Gerade hier sollte jedoch nach dem Formalismus der Hofmann sehen Reaktion eine Retentions-Erniedrigung erwartet werden. Die durch tertiäre Amine hervorgerufene Retentions-Erhöhung drückt sich hauptsächlich in der vermehrten Bildung der 82Br-markierten Muttermoleküle aus, die in diesem Falle bis zu 90% der induzierten Gesamtaktivität ausmacht.
Eine Deutung dieser Retentions-Erhöhung kann über die Annahme eines dissoziativen Austausches gegeben werden, der nur beim Zusatz tertiärer Amine zu einer Retentions-Erhöhung führen kann. Es wird weiterhin festgestellt, daß die individuellen 82Br-Reaktionsprodukte stark von der Konstitution des zugesetzten Amins abhängig sind. Eine durch die ionisierende Strahlung im Reaktor bewirkte Retentions-Erhöhung wird durch einen geringen Zusatz von primären aromatischen Aminen weitgehend vermieden.
Das Auftreten von ungesättigten 82Br-Rückstoßverbindungen wie Vinylbromid, 1-Brompropen-l und 2-Brompropen-1 wird beim n-Propylbromid nur in Gegenwart von aromatischen Aminen beobachtet. Unter unseren Bestrahlungsbedingungen (2 Stdn. bei 2,6·1011 n/cm2 sec) jedoch nicht beim reinen n-Propylbromid.
Eine Unterscheidung zwischen den auf „heißem“ und den auf „thermischem“ Wege entstandenen Anteilen der Rückstoßprodukte läßt sich mit Amin-scavengern nicht ohne weiteres treffen.

Abstract
Short-chain unsaturated chiral methyl carbinols are identified as a new class of lepidopteran pheromone components. The natural female-produced pheromone of the banded apple pigmyStigmella malella (=Nepticula malella) (Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae) was identified to be a mixture of (S)-(E)-6,8-nonadien-2-ol and (S)-(Z)-6,8-nonadien-2-ol. For monitoring traps, a 10:3E:Z blend at 100-1000 µg is recommended. It is suggested that pheromones with similar structures may be specific to Nepticulidae and other related microlepidopteran families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the last years the prevalence of multi-resistant pathogens (MRPs) has increased. Systemic infections remain important for neonatal morbidity and mortality. PATIENTS Neonates born between January 2011 and December 2012 and admitted to the neonatology before their tenth day of life were included into this retrospective analysis. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative bacilli with Extend Spectrum Beta Lactamase or AMP-C resistance were defined as multi-resistant pathogens (MRPs). MRP positive and negative patients were analyzed regarding clinical risk factors and the incidence of systemic infections. RESULTS 635 neonates were admitted during the analysis period. In 31 patients MRPs were detected. 2 patients developed MRP-associated infections. Both were discharged without long term health risks. Low gestational age and need for mechanical ventilation were risk factors for colonization with MRPs in the univariat analysis. The incidence density (per 1 000 patient days) for all MRE increased from 0.76 in 2011 to 3.51 in 2012. In contrast the sepsis rate remained stable (14.9% and 14.2%). 2 MRP colonization clusters were detected by routine microbiology swabs. Both could be controlled by appropriate hygienic measures. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of Gram-negative MRPs increased in neonates. Microbiological screening seems to be helpful for early detection of colonization and thus prevention of nosocomial infections with MRPs. Despite the increased attention towards the problems associated with multiresistant bacteria, there are still major efforts needed for prevention and early treatment of sepsis with non-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Modern oncological liver surgery continues to push the limits of resectability by incorporating an array of new developments in the fields of surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care, oncology, radiology and transplantation medicine. New criteria for determining the resectability of primary and secondary liver tumours have been developed and introduced into national consensus guidelines. Modern tools for improving oncological outcome include the rapid induction of liver hypertrophy prior to major liver resection, downstaging of tumours with advanced chemotherapy protocols, minimally invasive local therapies like radiofrequency ablation and chemo- or radioembolisation, and liver transplantation for non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder that is associated with short stature, partial growth hormone deficiency, small hands and feet, learning and behavioural problems, and hyperphagia leading to severe, often morbid, obesity. Growth hormone therapy is associated with an improvement in height and body composition. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of long-term growth hormone treatment in a retrospective observational multinational study of 41 prepubertal children (mean age 3.8±3.0 years) with genetically diagnosed Prader-Willi syndrome treated with growth hormone (0.03-0.06 mg/kg/day) for >12 months [mean duration 4.1 (range 0.9-9.5) years]. Height, weight, and body composition measurements were recorded at baseline and at 6 month intervals until last observation. Mean (SD) gain in height at 12 months was 0.9 (0.2) SD score (p<0.0001). At last observation (after approximately 6 years) mean gain in height was 1.3 (0.3) (p=0.0001) with 85% of children achieving height>- 2 SD score. Body composition improved during treatment with an estimated 9.1% increase in lean body mass and 9.1% decrease in fat mass at last observation (p=0.019). Scoliosis was reported in 3 patients at baseline and 8 patients at last observation. Sleep apnoea was recorded in 3 (7.3%) patients. There were no other severe adverse events reported. Long-term growth hormone treatment of prepubertal children with Prader-Willi syndrome was associated with significant improvements in height and body composition. Treatment was well tolerated. The development of scoliosis warrants monitoring by an orthopaedic specialist.

Abstract
In patients awaiting LuTx, MV and ECMO are often the last ways to create a bridge to LuTx. Both interventions are associated with a poor posttransplant outcome and survival rate. To improve the results of these patients, new "bridging-strategies" are necessary. Recent reports demonstrate promising results for the concept of "awake ECMO" in adult patients. To date, no data on this approach in pediatric patients have been available. We therefore describe the use of VV-ECMO as a treatment strategy for RF in awake pediatric patients. It presents our experiences with the first three children treated using this new concept. Mean amount of time on ECMO was 44 days (range, 11.5-109 days). Two patients were successfully bridged to their LuTx. Both are still alive without any recurrences (24 and three months following LuTx). One patient died before a further LuTx after 109 days on ECMO due to adenoviral infection. Although reintubation was necessary in two patients, and total time being awake while on ECMO was <50%, we conclude that the concept of "awake VV-ECMO" is feasible for the treatment of RF and can be used as a "bridging therapy" to LuTx.
