Abstract
PURPOSE We analyzed patients' characteristics and hospital admission in Germany's first and second COVID 19 wave. METHODS We include all patients hospitalized with the proven diagnosis COVID 19 admitted to the HELIOS Hospital Krefeld, Germany, in the first wave (n = 84; from 11.03.2020-30.06.2020) and the second wave (n = 344; from 01.07.2020-31.01.2021). RESULTS Patients' age, gender and comorbidities were similar with the exception of venous thrombosis in medical history which was more frequent in the first wave (6 % vs 0.3 %, p = p = 0,001). At admission, there were no differences in the results of the initial lab values (c-reactive protein, leucocytes) and blood gas analyses between both groups. Treatment differed in the application of dexamethasone and anticoagulation. In the first wave, nobody received dexamethasone. However, this changed to 52.6 % of patients in the second wave for a mean length of 3.6 ± 4.1 days. Anticoagulation with double standard prophylaxis (2 × 40 mg low molecular heparin, subcutaneous) was applied in 7.1 % of patients in the first wave but 30.2 % (p = 0.002) in the second wave. In the first wave more thromboembolic events were diagnosed after admission (19.0 % vs 7.0 %, p = 0.001). In-hospital death was 26.2 % in the first wave and 15.4 % in the second wave (p = 0.0234). Most deaths were attributed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). CONCLUSION Patients' characteristics did not vary in Germany's first and second COVID 19 wave, but anticoagulation and dexamethasone were applied more frequently in the second wave. In addition, there were fewer thromboembolic complications in the second wave.

Abstract
To determine the most relevant pathogens for CAP in Germany, patients with radiologically confirmed pulmonary infiltrates and at least one clinical sign of lung infection were prospectively recruited within the CAPNETZ cohort from 2004 until 2016. In 990 out of 4.672 patients (21%) receiving complete diagnostics the most prominent change of pathogens was a decrease of S. pneumoniae (58% in 2004 to 37.5% in 2016; p ≤ 0.001, ρ = − 0.148) and an increase of H. influenzae (12.2% to 20.8%; p = 0.001, ρ = 0.104).

Abstract
Ceramic capillary membranes conditioned for virus filtration via functionalization with n-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)diethylenetriamine (TPDA) are analyzed with respect to their virus retention capacity when using feed solutions based on monovalent and divalent salts (NaCl, MgCl2). The log reduction value (LRV) by operating in dead-end mode using the model bacteriophage MS2 with a diameter of 25 nm and an IEP of 3.9 is as high as 9.6 when using feeds containing MgCl2. In contrast, a lesser LRV of 6.4 is observed for feed solutions based on NaCl. The TPDA functionalized surface is simulated at the atomistic scale using explicit-solvent molecular dynamics in the presence of either Na+ or Mg2+ ions. Computational prediction of the binding free energy reveals that the Mg2+ ions remain preferentially adsorbed at the surface, whereas Na+ ions form a weakly bound dissolved ionic layer. The charge shielding between surface and amino groups by the adsorbed Mg2+ ions leads to an upright orientation of the TPDA molecules as opposed to a more tilted orientation in the presence of Na+ ions. The resulting better accessibility of the TPDA molecules is very likely responsible for the enhanced virus retention capacity using a feed solution with Mg2+ ions.

Abstract
We present a comparative study of two self-assembled quantum dot (QD) systems based on II-VI compounds: CdTe/ZnTe and CdSe/ZnSe. Using magneto-optical techniques we investigated a large population of individual QDs. The systematic photoluminescence studies of emission lines related to the recombination of neutral exciton X, biexciton XX, and singly charged excitons (X(+), X(-)) allowed us to determine average parameters describing CdTe QDs (CdSe QDs): X-XX transition energy difference 12 meV (24 meV); fine-structure splitting δ1=0.14 meV (δ1=0.47 meV); g-factor g = 2.12 (g = 1.71); diamagnetic shift γ=2.5 μeV T(-2) (γ =1.3 μeV T(-2)). We find also statistically significant correlations between various parameters describing internal structure of excitonic complexes.

Abstract
Solotronics, optoelectronics based on solitary dopants, is an emerging field of research and technology reaching the ultimate limit of miniaturization. It aims at exploiting quantum properties of individual ions or defects embedded in a semiconductor matrix. It has already been shown that optical control of a magnetic ion spin is feasible using the carriers confined in a quantum dot. However, a serious obstacle was the quenching of the exciton luminescence by magnetic impurities. Here we show, by photoluminescence studies on thus-far-unexplored individual CdTe dots with a single cobalt ion and CdSe dots with a single manganese ion, that even if energetically allowed, nonradiative exciton recombination through single-magnetic-ion intra-ionic transitions is negligible in such zero-dimensional structures. This opens solotronics for a wide range of as yet unconsidered systems. On the basis of results of our single-spin relaxation experiments and on the material trends, we identify optimal magnetic-ion quantum dot systems for implementation of a single-ion-based spin memory. Single-atom dopants embedded in a semiconductor matrix are of potential use for optical, spintronics as well as information storage applications. Here, Kobak et al. realize CdTe and CdSe quantum dots with single cobalt and manganese ions and show how the quantum dot design influences single-spin relaxation time.

Abstract
Two coupled CdTe quantum dots, selected from a self-assembled system, one of them containing a single Mn ion, were studied by continuous wave and modulated photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and photon correlation experiments. Optical writing of information on the spin state of the Mn ion has been demonstrated, using the orientation of the Mn spin by spin-polarized carriers transferred from the neighboring quantum dot. Mn spin orientation time values from 20 to 100 ns were measured, depending on the excitation power. Storage time of the information on the Mn spin was found to be enhanced by application of a static magnetic field of 1 T, reaching hundreds of microseconds in the dark. Simple rate equation models were found to describe correctly the static and dynamical properties of the system.

Abstract
The evolution of the magnetization in (Cd,Mn)Te quantum wells after a short pulse of magnetic field was determined from the giant Zeeman shift of spectroscopic lines. The dynamics in the absence of a static magnetic field was found to be up to 3 orders of magnitude faster than that at 1 T. Hyperfine interaction and strain are mainly responsible for the fast decay. The influence of a hole gas is clearly visible: at zero field anisotropic holes stabilize the system of Mn ions, while in a magnetic field of 1 T they are known to speed up the decay by opening an additional relaxation channel.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rejection process by ultrasonic tissue characterization. Serial 2D echocardiographic images were obtained within 24 h prior to an endomyocardial biopsy. The end-diastolic echoframes were digitized into a computer matrix. A region of interest was placed into the anteroseptal segment of each scan. Image texture was analysed by four major groups of texture analysis (first-order histogram, co-occurrence matrix, run-length statistic, power spectrum). In 23 patients, 408 biopsies were taken after each examination, so that correlation between the ultrasonic tissue measurements and the histological state of the tissue could be determined. When rejection occurred, heterogeneity, brightness and contrast of texture increased. Of 117 texture parameters originally claculated, three parameters (inverse difference moment, run-length non-uniformity, ring sums of power spectrum) that characterized rejection were determined by means of discriminance analysis. Compared with biopsy findings, echocardiographic sensitivity for moderate rejection was 93.3% and specifity 83.6%. Our study indicates that acute rejection is associated with changes in echocardiographic texture. Serial echocardiographic texture analysis can reliably identify heart transplant rejection.

Abstract
The prognosis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is still ill-defined. The present study prospectively evaluated mortality and complications in a large cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study included 838 anti-HCV and HCV-RNA-positive patients who were followed for 50.2 +/- 26.9 months (mean +/- SD; range, 6-122 months) in a prospective protocol. During follow-up, 62 patients died (31 from liver disease and 31 from other causes), and 12 patients needed liver transplantation. When compared with a matched general population, hepatitis C increased mortality mainly when cirrhosis was present and in patients who were less than 50 years old at study entry. During follow-up, a further 30 patients developed nonlethal complications of cirrhosis. By multivariate regression, survival was decreased by cirrhosis, long disease duration, history of intravenous drug abuse, and excessive alcohol consumption, whereas interferon therapy improved survival. Alanine transaminase (ALT), bilirubin, sex, and genotype had no effect on survival. The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n = 17) was increased by cirrhosis and to a lesser degree by long disease duration and high bilirubin, whereas interferon therapy, genotype, and other factors had no effect. Chronic hepatitis C is a disease with considerable mortality and morbidity when cirrhosis is present at diagnosis. Patients who acquire the infection early in life have a markedly increased mortality even when cirrhosis is absent at diagnosis. The age at diagnosis therefore should play a major role in therapeutic considerations. The present data also suggest that interferon therapy has a long-term clinical benefit, although it did not reduce the risk of liver cancer.

Abstract
Ultrasonic tissue characterization is based on the assumption that microscopic tissue structures are identifiable by their acoustic properties. Our study group consisted of 23 cardiac recipients. Two-dimensional images were obtained within 2 hours of endomyocardial biopsy. The end-diastolic echo frames were digitized into the matrix of an image-processing system. A region of interest was placed into the anteroseptal segment of the left ventricle. The texture within the region of interest was analyzed using four major groups of texture analysis (first-order histogram, co-occurrence matrix, run-length statistic, and power spectrum). A total of 408 echocardiographic examinations were compared with histologic findings. The 117 initially calculated texture parameters were reduced incrementally using a series of discriminant analyses. A set of three texture parameters (inverse difference moment undirected, run-length nonuniformity vertical, and sector sum) was able to describe changed echocardiographic texture when rejection occurred. Using these three parameters, echocardiographic sensitivity was 89.0% and specificity was 83.6% for moderate rejection. We conclude that cardiac rejection is associated with echocardiographic texture alterations and that serial echocardiographic texture analysis can reliably identify rejection.

Abstract
In a prospective study we tested the possibility to differentiate myocardial tissue by means of the quantitative texture analysis of two-dimensional echocardiographic images. 12 patients with a bioptically ascertained myocarditis and 12 healthy patients of a control group were echocardiographically examined. The results demonstrated that the echocardiographic image texture in myocarditis is characterized by an increase of the texture parameters entropy, second difference moment and long-run emphasis as well as by a decrease of the parameters angular second moment, inverse difference moment and run-length nonuniformity as well as by different values of the ring and sector sums of the power spectre. The digital image processing of echocardiography images seems thus to open a new way to the noninvasive diagnostic of myocarditis.
