Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine if there is an increased risk of incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) resulting from cumulative night shift work in the German population-based Gutenberg Health Study (GHS). METHODS We examined working participants of the GHS at baseline and after five years. Cumulative night shift work in the 10 years before baseline was assessed and categorized as low (1-220 nights ≙ up to 1 year), middle (221-660 nights ≙ 1-3 years), and high (>660 nights ≙ more than 3 years) night shift exposure. Hazard ratios (HR) were estimated for incident "quality-assured CVD events" using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS At baseline, 1092 of 8167 working participants performed night shift work. During the follow-up, 202 incident cardiovascular events occurred. The crude incidence rates for CVD per 1000 person-years were 6.88 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.80-9.55] for night shift workers and 5.19 (95% CI 4.44-6.04) for day workers. Cumulative incidence curves showed a higher cumulative incidence in workers exposed to night shift work compared to day workers after five years. The adjusted HR for incident CVD events were 1.26 (95% CI 0.68-2.33), 1.37 (95% CI 0.74-2.53) and 1.19 (95% CI 0.67-2.12) for employees in the low, middle and high night shift categories compared to employees without night shift work, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The observed tendencies indicate that night shift work might be negatively associated with cardiovascular health. We expect the continued follow-up will clarify the long-term impact of night shift work.

Abstract
During NASA's Apollo missions, inhalation of dust particles from lunar regolith was identified as a potential occupational hazard for astronauts. These fine particles adhered tightly to spacesuits and were unavoidably brought into the living areas of the spacecraft. Apollo astronauts reported that exposure to the dust caused intense respiratory and ocular irritation. This problem is a potential challenge for the Artemis Program, which aims to return humans to the Moon for extended stays in this decade. Since lunar dust is "weathered" by space radiation, solar wind, and the incessant bombardment of micrometeorites, we investigated whether treatment of lunar regolith simulants to mimic space weathering enhanced their toxicity. Two such simulants were employed in this research, Lunar Mare Simulant-1 (LMS-1), and Lunar Highlands Simulant-1 (LHS-1), which were added to cultures of human lung epithelial cells (A549) to simulate lung exposure to the dusts. In addition to pulverization, previously shown to increase dust toxicity sharply, the simulants were exposed to hydrogen gas at high temperature as a proxy for solar wind exposure. This treatment further increased the toxicity of both simulants, as measured by the disruption of mitochondrial function, and damage to DNA both in mitochondria and in the nucleus. By testing the effects of supplementing the cells with an antioxidant (N-acetylcysteine), we showed that a substantial component of this toxicity arises from free radicals. It remains to be determined to what extent the radicals arise from the dust itself, as opposed to their active generation by inflammatory processes in the treated cells.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing of silica glass is dominated by techniques that rely on traditional particle sintering. At the nanoscale, this limits their adoption within microsystem technology, which prevents technological breakthroughs. We introduce the sinterless, two-photon polymerization 3D printing of free-form fused silica nanostructures from a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) resin. Contrary to particle-loaded sacrificial binders, our POSS resin itself constitutes a continuous silicon-oxygen molecular network that forms transparent fused silica at only 650°C. This temperature is 500°C lower than the sintering temperatures for fusing discrete silica particles to a continuum, which brings silica 3D printing below the melting points of essential microsystem materials. Simultaneously, we achieve a fourfold resolution enhancement, which enables visible light nanophotonics. By demonstrating excellent optical quality, mechanical resilience, ease of processing, and coverable size scale, our material sets a benchmark for micro- and nano-3D printing of inorganic solids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the pilot study sedentary behavior and physical activity were measured in pregnant women using an accelerometer. METHODS A total of 32 pregnant women were enrolled in the study; eleven of them were included in the first trimester. The defined wearing periods for the accelerometer in the first, second and third trimester were weeks 9-12, 23-26, and 36-39, respectively. A self-administered survey was carried out after a 7-day measurement. RESULTS The pregnant women were on average 30 years old, 50% were nulliparous, and 68.8% had a high school diploma. The accelerometer was worn on average of 13 hours per day. Sedentary behavior was recorded more than half of the wearing time for all trimesters. The proportion of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous activity was highest at 4.7% in the second trimester, compared to 2.5% in the first and 3.8% in the third. A proportion of women, ranging from 32% in the first, 54% in the second, and 58% in the third trimester did reach the levels of PA recommended by the guidelines. Nulliparous women in the second and third trimester spent twice as much time in moderate-to-vigorous activities compared to multiparous women. CONCLUSION Pregnant women spent more than half of the monitored day in sedentary behaviors. Half of them did meet the recommendations for physical activity in the second and third trimester. The results show that sedentary behavior and physical activity should be considered more in clinical practice and research to motivate pregnant women to adopt a physically active lifestyle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex time- and resource-intensive diagnostic procedure. Since tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP's) are involved in various pathophysiological processes and are correlated with a high cardiovascular risk, TIMP's appear to be a suitable candidate for an OSA-biomarker. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a prospective controlled diagnostic study, TIMP-1 serum levels of 273 OSA-patients and controls were analyzed for correlation with OSA severity, BMI, age, sex, cardio-/ cerebrovascular comorbidities. Furthermore, longitudinal medium- and long-term effects of CPAP-treatment (n=15) on TIMP-1-levels were investigated. RESULTS TIMP-1 was clearly linked to OSA as well as to disease severity (mild, moderate, severe; each p<0.001) and was not influenced by age, gender, BMI, or cardio-/cerebrovascular comorbidities. ROC curve analysis revealed an AUC of 0.91 ± 0.017 SE (p<0.001), suggesting a TIMP-1 cut-off value of 75 ng/ml (sensitivity 0.78; specificity 0.91) being especially sensitive for patients with severe OSA (sensitivity 0.89; specificity 0.91). The likelihood ratio was 8.88, while the diagnostic odds ratio was 37.14. CPAP-treatment led to a significant decrease of TIMP-1 after 6-8 months (p=0.008). CONCLUSIONS TIMP-1 seems to fulfill the preconditions for a circulating OSA-biomarker: disease-specific with a mandatory presence in affected patients, reversible on treatment, reflects disease severity and provides a cutoff value between the healthy state and disease. In the clinical routine, TIMP 1 may help to stratify the individual OSA-associated cardiovascular risk and to monitor the treatment response to CPAP-therapy as a further step towards providing a personalized therapy.

Abstract
SARS CoV 2 S-glycoproteins play a crucial role in the entry steps of viral particles. Due to their surface location, they are the main target for host immune responses and the focus of most vaccine strategies. The D614G mutation identified in late January became dominant during March 2020, rendering SARS-CoV-2 more infectious. In April 2020, the Alpha, Beta and Gamma variants emerged simultaneously in Asia, South Africa, and South America, respectively. They were 1.6 to 2 times more transmissible than the ancestral strain. The currently dominant Omicron variant (BA.2) is not a direct descendant from the D614G lineage, but rather emerged from the BA.1 variant (as did BA.4 and BA.5). It is substantially different from all the other variants. It presents significantly reduced susceptibility to antibody neutralization: after 2 doses of mRNA-vaccine, neutralizing titers to Omicron are 41 to 84 times lower than neutralization titers to D614G. That said, a booster dose of mRNA-vaccine increases Omicron neutralization titers and reduces the risk of severe infection.

Abstract
During the SARS CoV-2 primary infection, the neutralizing antibodies focused against the spike (S) glycoproteins are responsible for blockage of virus-host cell interaction. The cellular response mediated by CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells is responsible for control of viremia. Immune memory against SARS-CoV-2 depends on virus type, replication kinetics and route of penetration. The formation and persistence of germinal centers are critical for the generation of affinity-matured plasma cells and memory B cells capable of mediating durable immunity. They can persist up to 30 weeks after vaccination and several months after infection. Heterogeneity in the longevity of the vaccination-induced GC response is significant.

Abstract
Modern patient-centered and cost-efficient care concepts in hospitals require the mapping of multidisciplinary process chains into clinical pathways. Clinical decision support systems and operations research methods use algorithms to classify patients into homogeneous groups and to model a complete clinical pathway for scheduling individual procedures. An improvement of the economic situation of the care facility can be achieved through improved resource utilization, reduced patient waiting times and a shortening of the length of stay. The interdisciplinary use of centrally stored interoperable information and comprehensive care management via information technology (IT) services lay the foundation for the dissolution of traditional IT system architectures in medicine and the development of flexibly integrable modern system platforms. New IT approaches such as the semantically standardized definition of procedures and resource properties, the use of clinical decision support systems and the use of service-oriented system architectures form the basis for the deep integration of radiology services into comprehensive interdisciplinary care concepts.

Abstract
Measuring circulating progesterone (P4) of dairy cows is a key component of many research studies dealing with basic and applied reproduction physiology. The gold standard in dairy cows for the measurement of P4 in serum is radioimmunoassay (RIA), but it generates radioactive waste and requires licensed facilities. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an in-house competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to measure the P4 concentration in serum of dairy cattle. The secondary objective was to validate a commercial EIA. In the present study, a competitive EIA was developed using commercially available antibodies and conjugates. Ninety-six well microtiter plates were coated with the secondary antibody and incubated overnight. Following a washing step, the wells were blocked using the primary antibody. Serum samples were prepared by first extracting P4 using petroleum ether, then diluted in working conjugate solution. Samples were pipetted into the coated and blocked plates, then the matching HRP conjugate label (P4-3-HRP, East Coast Bio, North Berwick, ME) was added. The plates were incubated for 2 h, then washed. The substrate solution was added, and the plate was incubated up to 1 h at room temperature in the dark until a blue color had developed. A stop solution was added, and the optical density measured on a microplate reader was set at 450 nm. The binding proportion was calculated by a visible spectrum absorbance reader, and the amount of P4 was calculated using a log-logit regression line. The commercial EIA was executed as suggested by the manufacturer. The validation of the in-house EIA was done by calculating the inter- and intraassay coefficients of variation (CV) and evaluating the parallelism of diluted samples. The results from the in-house and commercial EIA were also compared with the ones from the RIA graphically (scatterplots and Bland-Altman plots) and statistically, using the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) and the Cohen's kappa statistics using a threshold of 1.0 ng/mL (κ). For the in-house EIA, the intraassay CV were all <10%, but the interassay for samples with small and large P4 concentration had CV of 12.5 and 11.0%, respectively. The correlations between the results from the EIA and the RIA were strong (in-house: r = 0.90; commercial: r = 0.83). At small concentrations (<1.0 ng/mL), however, the correlation with the gold standard was weak (in-house: r = 0.27; commercial: r = 0.14). This was likely due to the lack of accuracy at small concentrations, also shown by the absence of parallelism in samples ≤0.4 ng/mL. In conclusion, results from both the in-house and commercial EIA strongly correlated with the gold standard, but less so at smaller concentrations. The in-house EIA offers good accuracy to measure P4 in samples with a concentration >0.4 ng/mL, and a perfect agreement with RIA using a threshold of 1.0 ng/mL.

Abstract
Cross-enterprise electronic patient records are a key element in the design of interoperable medical care networks and process chains. However, the different requirements concerning type, performance and quality assurance of available communication services within the different healthcare sectors still require that the hospitals participate in various secure communication networks which have to be bridged for cross-sectoral communication. Cross-institutional pathways for telemedicine, however, can be mapped both within and across sectoral boundaries via automated process chains using the IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) defined integration profile CrossEnterprise Document Sharing (XDS) and associated integration profiles. The provision of medical documents in a cross-institutional patient record outside of defined medical pathways requires differentiated authorization management. In this respect, consent documents according to the IHE APPC (Advanced Patient Privacy Consents) profile enable the documentation of the patient's consent, including information about planned authorized people, document types, period and type of document access allowed. Providing access control to medical documentation by the patients themselves is an essential part of the required focusing of medical services on patients. New interoperability standards optimized for use on mobile devices, such as FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), will enable simplified delivery of patient-centered health records and other medical services on mobile platforms in the future.

Abstract
Background The adequate allocation of inpatient care resources requires assumptions about the need for health care and how this need will be met. However, in current practice, these assumptions are often based on outdated methods (e.g. Hill-Burton Formula). This study evaluated floating catchment area (FCA) methods, which have been applied as measures of spatial accessibility, focusing on their ability to predict the need for health care in the inpatient sector in Germany. Methods We tested three FCA methods (enhanced (E2SFCA), modified (M2SFCA) and integrated (iFCA)) for their accuracy in predicting hospital visits regarding six medical diagnoses (atrial flutter/fibrillation, heart failure, femoral fracture, gonarthrosis, stroke, and epilepsy) on national level in Germany. We further used the closest provider approach for benchmark purposes. The predicted visits were compared with the actual visits for all six diagnoses using a correlation analysis and a maximum error from the actual visits of ± 5%, ± 10% and ± 15%. Results The analysis of 229 million distances between hospitals and population locations revealed a high and significant correlation of predicted with actual visits for all three FCA methods across all six diagnoses up to ρ = 0.79 (p < 0.001). Overall, all FCA methods showed a substantially higher correlation with actual hospital visits compared to the closest provider approach (up to ρ = 0.51; p < 0.001). Allowing a 5% error of the absolute values, the analysis revealed up to 13.4% correctly predicted hospital visits using the FCA methods (15% error: up to 32.5% correctly predicted hospital). Finally, the potential of the FCA methods could be revealed by using the actual hospital visits as the measure of hospital attractiveness, which returned very strong correlations with the actual hospital visits up to ρ = 0.99 (p < 0.001). Conclusion We were able to demonstrate the impact of FCA measures regarding the prediction of hospital visits in non-emergency settings, and their superiority over commonly used methods (i.e. closest provider). However, hospital beds were inadequate as the measure of hospital attractiveness resulting in low accuracy of predicted hospital visits. More reliable measures must be integrated within the proposed methods. Still, this study strengthens the possibilities of FCA methods in health care planning beyond their original application in measuring spatial accessibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard of body composition analysis at the tissue-organ level. The present study aimed to determine the impact of CT-defined sarcopenia and myosteatosis on outcomes, including overall survival, unplanned hospital admissions and related costs, in patients who had completed treatment of curative intent for head and neck cancer (HNC). METHODS Retrospective observational study of patients undergoing radiotherapy of curative intent ± other treatment modalities for HNC. Tissue density data derived at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) were evaluated with sarcopenia defined per sex-specific published threshold values for skeletal muscle index, stratified by body mass index and mean skeletal muscle attenuation in HU (Hounsfield units). RESULTS Pre- or post-treatment images were available for 79/98 patients (80.6%) and 61/98 patients (62.2%), respectively. Sarcopenia was present in 42/79 patients pre-treatment and 36/61 patients post-treatment, whereas myosteatosis was present in 63/79 patients pre-treatment and 48/61 patients post-treatment. In patients with pre- and post-treatment images (n = 60), the median (range) percentage weight change was -8.5% (-29.9 to +11.7). On multivariable analysis, a post-treatment sarcopenia hazard ratio of 3.87 (95% confidence interval = 1.22-12.24, P = 0.021) and a pre-treatment myosteatosis hazard ratio of 8.86 (95% confidence interval = 1.12-69.88, P = 0.038) were independent predictors of reduced overall survival. There was no difference in radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment completion based on pre-treatment sarcopenia status. The mean (SD) difference unplanned hospital admission cost was $15 846 ($17 707) for patients without sarcopenia versus $47 945 ($82 688) for patients with sarcopenia at any time point (P = 0.077). CONCLUSIONS As CT-defined sarcopenia and myosteatosis hold clinically meaningful prognostic value, muscle status evaluation is recommended in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) and prompt gamma (PG) detection are promising proton therapy monitoring modalities. Fast calculation of the expected distributions is desirable for comparison to measurements and to develop/train algorithms for automatic treatment error detection. A filtering formalism was used for positron-emitter predictions and adapted to allow for its use for the beamline of any proton therapy centre. A novel approach based on a filtering formalism was developed for the prediction of energy-resolved PG distributions for arbitrary tissues. The method estimates PG yields and their energy spectra in the entire treatment field. Both approaches were implemented in a research version of the RayStation treatment planning system. The method was validated against PET monitoring data and Monte Carlo simulations for four patients treated with scanned proton beams. Longitudinal shifts between profiles from analytical and Monte Carlo calculations were within -1.7 and 0.9 mm, with maximum standard deviation of 0.9 mm and 1.1 mm, for positron-emitters and PG shifts, respectively. Normalized mean absolute errors were within 1.2 and 5.3%. When comparing measured and predicted PET data, the same more complex case yielded an average shift of 3 mm, while all other cases were below absolute average shifts of 1.1 mm. Normalized mean absolute errors were below 7.2% for all cases. A novel solution to predict positron-emitter and PG distributions in a treatment planning system is proposed, enabling calculation times of only a few seconds to minutes for entire patient cases, which is suitable for integration in daily clinical routine.

Abstract
In vivo verification of light ion therapy based on positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging of irradiation induced patient activation relies on activity predictions from Monte-Carlo (MC) or analytical computational engines for comparison to the measurements. In order to achieve the necessary accuracy, experimental data are indispensable for the validation of the calculation models. For this we irradiated thick reference targets with mono-energetic helium, carbon and oxygen ion beams and measured the resulting material activation offline with a commercial full-ring PET/CT scanner located nearby the treatment room. Acquired PET data were analysed over time to separate the activity contribution of different radionuclides. Determined production yields were compared to published findings obtained from in-beam activation measurements with a limited-angle double-head PET camera. In addition, we investigated the time-dependence of the measured radionuclide-specific contributions and of the distal activity range, as well as the lateral spread of the activity signal as a function of beam penetration depth. We present radionuclide-specific depth-resolved activity distributions and production yields for the radionuclides [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], dominating irradiation-induced patient activation. We observe systematically lower production yields with a ratio between the dual-head and our full-ring PET measurements of, on average, 1.7 and 1.3 for the oxygen and carbon beam irradiations, and 1.7 (2.1) for the high (low) energy helium beam irradiations. Findings on the temporal development of the activity range confirm the expectation, with the oxygen beam induced signal being the most sensitive scenario. The experimental data reported in this work, acquired with a state-of-the-art full ring PET scanner, provide a comprehensive and consistent basis for the benchmarking of PET signal calculation engines. In particular, they can support a fine-tuning of the underlying physics models used by the respective implementation and therefore improve the accuracy of PET-based therapy verifications at current and future treatment facilities.

Abstract
Aims The intestinal microbiota of newborn calves is largely unexplored even if it is of great significance for their future health. Therefore, the aim of the study was to gain a better insight into the development dynamics of certain bacterial groups during the first week of life. Methods and Results Faecal samples of healthy Simmental calves (dual‐purpose breed; n = 80), bottle fed and raised in a dairy farm were taken immediately after birth and at 6/12/24/48/72/168 h (h) after birth. Samples were analysed using cultural, biochemical and molecular–biological methods. The aerobe, anaerobe, Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus counts of healthy calves increased significantly between 6 and 24 h postpartum (P <0·05). Apart from the anaerobes, bacterial counts decreased after reaching a plateau at 24–48 h. Enterococcus faecalis was detected in significantly higher counts compared to E. faecium (P <0·05). Lactobacilli developed more slowly and increased until day 7 after birth to a mean value of 6·8 × 107 CFU per g. MALDI‐TOF analysis of 2338 lactobacilli isolates resulted in 36 different species. Conclusions Lactobacillus reuteri became the most common Lactobacillus sp. during the first week of life. Significance and Impact of the Study This fact seems to be very important for the calf’s intestinal health because L. reuteri is known to show in vitro bactericidal effects against bacterial pathogens and anti‐infective activities against rotaviruses and Cryptosporidium parvum.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Previously independent living older people suffering fractures of the hip have a high risk of new admission to a nursing home during the subsequent months. This study shows that older people admitted to hospital for fractures of the pelvis and spine have a similar risk of admission to a nursing home. INTRODUCTION Fall-related fractures are a serious threat to the health and well-being of older persons. Long-term consequences of hip fractures such as institutionalization and mortality are well-known. The impact of other fragility fractures is less well-understood. The aim of this study was to estimate risks of institutionalization and death for different fragility fractures and compare them with the corresponding risks after hip fracture. METHODS Data was retrieved from a German health insurance company. Between 2005 and 2008 more than 56,000 community-dwelling people with a hospital admission or discharge diagnosis of a fracture of the femur, spine, pelvis, proximal humerus, distal radius, tibia, or fibula were included. Crude and age-adjusted 6-month incidence rates for institutionalization and death were calculated. To compare the risks of institutionalization or mortality of non-hip fractures with the risk after hip fracture, multivariate regression models were applied. RESULTS Crude institutionalization rates and mortality were highest in patients with hip fracture. However, after adjustment for age, functional status, and comorbidity, risks of institutionalization after fractures of pelvis (relative risk (RR), 0.94; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86; 1.02 in women and 0.89; 95% CI 0.70; 1.12 in men), and spine (RR, 0.95; 95% CI 0.87; 1.03 in women and 0.91; 95% CI 0.76; 1.08 in men) were not statistically different compared to the risk after hip fracture. CONCLUSIONS The risk of institutionalization after fractures of the spine and pelvis was similar to the risk after hip fracture. These fracture sites seem to be associated with a significant decline in physical function.

Abstract
While fractures around the knee are known to be rare, physicians have encountered a rise in the frequency due to the increased participation of children and adolescents in high-impact sports at a younger age. Even if the treatment of fractures in some cases resembles that in adults, the diagnostics and treatment in childhood and adolescence require a hígh level of experience in order avoid possible sequelae and to enable early recognition. Thorough diagnostics using clinical and imaging investigations as well as a precise weighing up of the treatment are essential to minimize differences in leg length and axial malpositioning of the leg. A decision between conservative and operative treatment is made for both the femur and tibia depending on the type of fracture. Decisive is the degree of dislocation of the fracture. In operative treatment, the axis conform reduction and subsequent stress stable treatment are particularly decisive. Avulsion trauma, bony avulsions of the intercondylar eminence and patellar injuries are also treated conservatively with immobilization or surgically with the aid of various fixation techniques, depending on the degree of dislocation.

Abstract
The new developments of the FLUKA Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) tools are detailed. FLUKA is a fully integrated Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport code, used for an extended range of applications, including Medical Physics. Recently, it provided the medical community with dedicated simulation tools for clinical applications, including the PET simulation package. PET is a well-established imaging technique in nuclear medicine, and a promising method for clinical in vivo treatment verification in hadrontherapy. The application of clinically established PET scanners to new irradiation environments such as hadrontherapy requires further experimental and theoretical research to which MC simulations could be applied. The FLUKA PET tools, besides featuring PET scanner models in its library, allow the configuration of new PET prototypes via the FLUKA Graphical User Interface (GUI) Flair. Both the beam time structure and scan time can be specified by the user, reproducing PET acquisitions in time, in a particle therapy scenario. Furthermore, different scoring routines allow the analysis of single and coincident events, and identification of parent isotopes generating annihilation events. Two reconstruction codes are currently supported: the Filtered Back-Projection (FBP) and Maximum-Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM), the latter embedded in the tools. Compatibility with other reconstruction frameworks is also possible. The FLUKA PET tools package has been successfully tested for different detectors and scenarios, including conventional functional PET applications and in beam PET, either using radioactive sources, or simulating hadron beam irradiations. The results obtained so far confirm the FLUKA PET tools suitability to perform PET simulations in R&D environment.

Abstract
Endosalpingiosis of the urinary bladder is a rare benign condition characterised by the presence of ectopic endosalpingeal tissue in the bladder. If histology shows two or more Müllerian-derived components, this condition is referred to as Müllerianosis.To our knowledge less than 20 cases of Müllerianosis and 5 cases of endosalpingiosis have been documented in the literature.Although the pathogenesis remains unclear, two theories exist. The implantation theory assumes that Müllerian-derived tissue gets implanted in the wall of the urinary bladder during pelvic surgery. The second theory proposes a metaplastic origin of the disease.Patients suffering from endosalpingiosis or Müllerianosis may present with symptoms such as suprapubic pain, frequent urination, dysuria or gross haematuria, possibly with a cyclical appearance.We present the case of a 40-year-old female patient, who primarily presented with painful haematuria and was diagnosed with endosalpingiosis and treated by transurethral resection. Also we review the current literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a complex autoimmune bullous disease disease with variable clinical presentations and multiple possible diagnostic tests, making an international consensus on the diagnosis of EBA essential. OBJECTIVES To obtain an international consensus on the clinical and diagnostic criteria for EBA. METHODS The International Bullous Diseases Group (IBDG) met three times to discuss the clinical and diagnostic criteria for EBA. For the final voting exercise, 22 experts from 14 different countries voted on 50 different items. When > 30% disagreed with a proposal, a discussion was held and re-voting carried out. RESULTS In total, 48 of 50 proposals achieved consensus after discussion. This included nine diagnostic criteria, which are summarized in a flow chart. The IBDG was unable to determine one procedure that would be applicable worldwide. A limitation of the study is that differential diagnosis of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus has not been addressed. CONCLUSIONS This first international consensus conference established generally agreed-upon clinical and laboratory criteria defining the clinical classification of and diagnostic testing for EBA. Holding these voting exercises in person with the possibility of discussion prior to voting has advantages in reaching consensus over Delphi exercises with remote voting.

Abstract
Shewanella spp. are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacteria that are widely distributed in marine and freshwater environments. The bacteria are present in the physiological microflora of fish from temperate waters and are known as fish spoilage species. From clinically healthy fish and from fish with skin ulcerations, Shewanella spp. is regularly isolated, indicating a possible role as fish pathogen. In this study, 74 isolates of Shewanella spp. were analysed. For species identification, biochemical techniques, 16S rRNA sequencing, MALDI-TOF MS and the Sherlock Microbial Identification System (MIS) based on the composition of fatty acid ethyl esters were compared. The phylogenetic relationship, cytotoxicity in vitro and resistance against antibiotics were tested. The most reliable method for species identification was 16S rRNA sequencing. From diseased fish, clinically healthy fish and the aquatic environment, different Shewanella species were isolated. This indicates that Shewanella spp. is widespread in the aquatic milieu and acts as a secondary pathogen. The virulence of Shewanella spp. is probably not depending on the species but on the isolate itself. Many isolates of Shewanella spp. were showing multiresistances against antibiotic substances, especially in samples derived from retailers and in routine diagnostics, all Shewanella spp. should therefore be tested for resistances against antibiotic agents.

Abstract
At the time of primary therapy (surgery, systemic chemotherapy and/or radiation), disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow can be found in almost one-third of patients with cancer of the breast, ovary, esophagus, stomach, colon, and other solid tumors. Whereas the prognostic impact of the mere presence of these cells is still a matter of debate, it has been shown that expression of tumor-associated antigens in disseminated tumor cells is linked to more aggressive disease. Therefore, further characterization of disseminated tumor cells at the protein and gene level has become increasingly important. To date, the most common detection method for disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow is an immunocytochemical approach using cytokeratin-directed antibodies for detection of epithelial cells and the APAAP system for their visualization. We have established a new double immunofluorescence technique enabling simultaneous detection, phenotyping, and antigen quantification of disseminated tumor cells. Mononuclear cells from bone marrow are enriched by Ficoll gradient centrifugation and cytospins are prepared. Double immunofluorescence is performed using antibodies against cytokeratins 8/18/19 (mAb A45B/B3) and the uPA receptor CD87 (pAb HU277). CD87 expression is recorded by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) using fluorescence labeled latex beads as the reference; staining intensities of all the scans are then summed and quantified (extended focus). This protocol, originally designed for disseminated tumor cells in bone marrow, can also be applied to disseminated tumor cells in blood, to leukapheresis cells or to cells present in malignant ascites or other malignant effusions. The tumor cells detected may be used for gene and mRNA analyses. Furthermore, disseminated tumor cells also represent interesting targets for clinical studies on patient prognosis or prediction of therapy response as well as for specific tumor-biological therapies.

Abstract
Avaliar a influência de soluções de reumedecimento sobre a resistência de união à dentina radicular de uma guta-percha convencional (GP) e um composto experimental à base de vidro niobofosfato bioativo e guta-percha (GNB) associado a um cimento biocerâmico. Condutos de 80 pré-molares inferiores foram preparados utilizando instrumentos de NiTi e irrigação com hipoclorito de sódio e EDTA foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos segundo guta-percha utilizada: GNB ou GP associada com Endosequence BC Sealer- BC e solução de reumedecimento antes da obturação (água destilada - AD solução salina de tampão fosfato - PBS fluido corporal simulado - SBF ou sem solução - controle). Os espécimes foram obturados com cone único e condensação vertical. Após 30 dias, foram seccionados em fatias e realizado o teste de push-out para avaliar a resistência de união e o tipo de fratura analisado com lupa estereoscópica. Os dados foram analisados por two-way ANOVA e teste de Holm-Sidak (p<0,05). Houve diferença significativa para os tipos de guta-percha (P<0,001) e para as soluções de reumedecimento (p0,003). Interação guta-percha vs. soluções de reumedecimento não foi significativa (p 0,53). Solução de SBF proporcionou um aumento na resistência de união para a guta-percha. Associação de GNB+BC aumentou os valores de resistência de união quando comparados com a GP+BC. Uso de SBF aumentou os valores de resistência de união dos grupos estudados. Associação de GNB+BC foi benéfica, aumentando os valores de resistência de união de dentina quando comparado com a associação com GP.Palavras-chave: Endodontia. Guta-Percha. Materiais Biomiméticos.

Abstract
We present a summary of the campaign of remote observations that supported the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission. Telescopes across the globe (and in space) followed comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from before Rosetta's arrival until nearly the end of the mission in September 2016. These provided essential data for mission planning, large-scale context information for the coma and tails beyond the spacecraft and a way to directly compare 67P with other comets. The observations revealed 67P to be a relatively 'well-behaved' comet, typical of Jupiter family comets and with activity patterns that repeat from orbit to orbit. Comparison between this large collection of telescopic observations and the in situ results from Rosetta will allow us to better understand comet coma chemistry and structure. This work is just beginning as the mission ends-in this paper, we present a summary of the ground-based observations and early results, and point to many questions that will be addressed in future studies.This article is part of the themed issue 'Cometary science after Rosetta'.
