Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway management in children, especially in patients with a difficult airway, remains a major challenge for anesthesiologists, pediatricians, and emergency medicine physicians. In recent years new tools have been introduced into the clinical practice. OBJECTIVE The aim was to present the current strategies for securing the airway in neonates in perinatal centers levels II and III in Germany, and to collect data on the rare event of coniotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 5 April 2021 to 15 June 2021, physicians practicing intensive care in pediatrics and neonatology at perinatal centers levels II and III in Germany were surveyed by means of an anonymized online questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed by the authors and verified by pretesting with the help of five pediatric specialists. Contact was made digitally via the e‑mail addresses provided on the websites of the respective centers. The survey was administered through the fee for service provider LimeSurvey©. The collected data were transferred to the IBM© statistical package for the social scientists (SPSS, version 28, IBM© Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) and statistically analyzed. Pearson's χ2-test was used to perform significance testing (significance level p = < 0.05). Only completed questionnaires were included in the analysis. RESULTS A total of 219 participants completed the questionnaire. Available airway devices: 94.5% (n = 207) nasopharyngeal tubes, 79.9% (n = 175) video laryngoscope/fiber optic, 73.1% (n = 160) laryngeal masks, 64.8% (n = 142) oropharyngeal tube (Guedel). Of the participants 6 (2.7%) performed coniotomy (⌀ 1.6 children). Out of six cases five (83.3%) were resuscitation situations caused by complex anatomical malformations. Training of coniotomy was not provided in 98.6% (n = 216). A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for difficult airway in neonates was possessed by 20.1% (n = 44). CONCLUSION The comparison with international studies showed that the equipment of German perinatal centers is above average. The trend towards acquisition of a video laryngoscope and its importance in clinical routine could be confirmed by our data; however, the fact that 20% of the respondents did not have access to video laryngoscopy suggests that further acquisitions will have to be made here in the future. Front of neck access (FONA) methods remain a critically questioned component of neonatal difficult airway algorithms due to their rarity and the resulting lack of data. In summary of the recommendations of the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) and the collected data on the theoretical and practical education of the FONA methods in Germany, the implementation of the FONA methods by pediatricians and neonatologists cannot be recommended. As most resuscitation situations were caused by complex anatomical malformations, the early detection of such malformations by means of high-resolution ultrasound seems to be of particular importance. With improvement of early detection, neonates with potentially unmanageable airway problems can be left on uteroplacental circulation for a prolonged period in order to perform necessary interventions, such as tracheostomy, bronchoscopy, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device known as the ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure.

Abstract
We report on the direct search for cosmic relic neutrinos using data acquired during the first two science campaigns of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity molecular tritium gas source are analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter around the end point at 18.57 keV. The analysis is sensitive to a local relic neutrino overdensity ratio of η<9.7×10^{10}/α (1.1×10^{11}/α) at a 90% (95%) confidence level with α=1 (0.5) for Majorana (Dirac) neutrinos. A fit of the integrated electron spectrum over a narrow interval around the end point accounting for relic neutrino captures in the tritium source reveals no significant overdensity. This work improves the results obtained by the previous neutrino mass experiments at Los Alamos and Troitsk. We furthermore update the projected final sensitivity of the KATRIN experiment to η<1×10^{10}/α at 90% confidence level, by relying on updated operational conditions.

Abstract
Purpose: The primary endpoint results from the comparing alternative ranibizumab dosages for safety and effcacy in retinopathy of prematurity (CARE-ROP) core study identified ranibizumab as an effective treatment to control acute retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study reports the 1- and 2-year follow-up data focusing on long-term functional outcomes and safety. Methods: The CARE-ROP trial compared 0.12 mg versus 0.20 mg ranibizumab in 20 infants with ROP in a multicentric, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study design. Sixteen patients entered the follow-up period. An ophthalmologic assessment at one year postbaseline was acquired from all 16 patients and a neurodevelopmental assessment at two years postbaseline was acquired from 15 patients. Results: Fifteen of 16 infants were able to fixate and follow moving objects at one year postbaseline treatment. One child progressed to stage 5 ROP bilaterally between the end of the core study and the 1-year follow-up (first seen at PMA 75 weeks). Mean spherical equivalents were −1.9 diopters (D) and −0.75 D in the 0.12 mg and the 0.20 mg treatment arms. Strabismus was present in seven and nystagmus in five out of 16 infants. Mental development scores were within normal limits in six out of ten patients with available data. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two treatment arms. Conclusion: Neurodevelopmental and functional ocular outcomes 1 and 2 years after treatment with ranibizumab are reassuring regarding long-term safety. Late reactivation of ROP, however, represents a challenge during the follow-up phase and it is of utmost importance that regular follow-ups are maintained.

Abstract
We report on the light sterile neutrino search from the first four-week science run of the KATRIN experiment in 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity gaseous molecular tritium source are analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter down to 40 eV below the endpoint at 18.57 keV. We consider the framework with three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino. The analysis is sensitive to the mass, m_{4}, of the fourth mass state for m_{4}^{2}≲1000 eV^{2} and to active-to-sterile neutrino mixing down to |U_{e4}|^{2}≳2×10^{-2}. No significant spectral distortion is observed and exclusion bounds on the sterile mass and mixing are reported. These new limits supersede the Mainz results for m_{4}^{2}≲1000 eV^{2} and improve the Troitsk bound for m_{4}^{2}<30 eV^{2}. The reactor and gallium anomalies are constrained for 100<Δm_{41}^{2}<1000 eV^{2}.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate neurocognitive outcome at 24 months of corrected age after less invasive surfactant application (LISA) in preterm infants born at 23-26 weeks of gestational age. METHODS Surviving participants of a LISA trial conducted in 13 German level III neonatal intensive care units were reviewed for assessment of developmental outcome, hearing and vision problems, growth and rehospitalisation days. Maternal depression, breastfeeding rates and socio-economic factors were evaluated as potentially confounding factors. RESULTS In total, 156/182 infants took part in the study, 78 had received surfactant via LISA and 78 via endotracheal intubation. 22% of LISA infants compared to 42% of intubated infants had a psychomotor development index (PDI) <70 (0.012). A significant difference in mental development index (MDI) was observed in the stratum of more mature infants (25 and 26 weeks of GA). For this group, MDI < 70 was observed in 4% of LISA infants vs 21% of intubated infants (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION At 24 months of age, the LISA-treated infants scored less often PDI < 70 and had similar results in MDI. Infants born at 25 and 26 weeks treated with LISA had lower rates of severe disability. LISA is safe and may be superior.

Abstract
The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment aims at measuring the effective electron neutrino mass with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2, i.e., improving on previous measurements by an order of magnitude. Neutrino mass data taking with KATRIN commenced in early 2019, and after only a few weeks of data recording, analysis of these data showed the success of KATRIN, improving on the known neutrino mass limit by a factor of about two. This success very much could be ascribed to the fact that most of the system components met, or even surpassed, the required specifications during long-term operation. Here, we report on the performance of the laser Raman (LARA) monitoring system which provides continuous high-precision information on the gas composition injected into the experiment’s windowless gaseous tritium source (WGTS), specifically on its isotopic purity of tritium—one of the key parameters required in the derivation of the electron neutrino mass. The concentrations cx for all six hydrogen isotopologues were monitored simultaneously, with a measurement precision for individual components of the order 10−3 or better throughout the complete KATRIN data taking campaigns to date. From these, the tritium purity, εT, is derived with precision of <10−3 and trueness of <3 × 10−3, being within and surpassing the actual requirements for KATRIN, respectively.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Red blood cell transfusions are commonly administered to infants weighing less than 1000 g at birth. Evidence-based transfusion thresholds have not been established. Previous studies have suggested higher rates of cognitive impairment with restrictive transfusion thresholds. OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of liberal vs restrictive red blood cell transfusion strategies on death or disability. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Randomized clinical trial conducted in 36 level III/IV neonatal intensive care units in Europe among 1013 infants with birth weights of 400 g to 999 g at less than 72 hours after birth; enrollment took place between July 14, 2011, and November 14, 2014, and follow-up was completed by January 15, 2018. INTERVENTIONS Infants were randomly assigned to liberal (n = 492) or restrictive (n = 521) red blood cell transfusion thresholds based on infants' postnatal age and current health state. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES The primary outcome, measured at 24 months of corrected age, was death or disability, defined as any of cognitive deficit, cerebral palsy, or severe visual or hearing impairment. Secondary outcome measures included individual components of the primary outcome, complications of prematurity, and growth. RESULTS Among 1013 patients randomized (median gestational age at birth, 26.3 [interquartile range {IQR}, 24.9-27.6] weeks; 509 [50.2%] females), 928 (91.6%) completed the trial. Among infants in the liberal vs restrictive transfusion thresholds groups, respectively, incidence of any transfusion was 400/492 (81.3%) vs 315/521 (60.5%); median volume transfused was 40 mL (IQR, 16-73 mL) vs 19 mL (IQR, 0-46 mL); and weekly mean hematocrit was 3 percentage points higher with liberal thresholds. Among infants in the liberal vs restrictive thresholds groups, the primary outcome occurred in 200/450 (44.4%) vs 205/478 (42.9%), respectively, for a difference of 1.6% (95% CI, -4.8% to 7.9%; P = .72). Death by 24 months occurred in 38/460 (8.3%) vs 44/491 (9.0%), for a difference of -0.7% (95% CI, -4.3% to 2.9%; P = .70), cognitive deficit was observed in 154/410 (37.6%) vs 148/430 (34.4%), for a difference of 3.2% (95% CI, -3.3% to 9.6%; P = .47), and cerebral palsy occurred in 18/419 (4.3%) vs 25/443 (5.6%), for a difference of -1.3% (95% CI, -4.2% to 1.5%; P = .37), in the liberal vs the restrictive thresholds groups, respectively. In the liberal vs restrictive thresholds groups, necrotizing enterocolitis requiring surgical intervention occurred in 20/492 (4.1%) vs 28/518 (5.4%); bronchopulmonary dysplasia occurred in 130/458 (28.4%) vs 126/485 (26.0%); and treatment for retinopathy of prematurity was required in 41/472 (8.7%) vs 38/492 (7.7%). Growth at follow-up was also not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among infants with birth weights of less than 1000 g, a strategy of liberal blood transfusions compared with restrictive transfusions did not reduce the likelihood of death or disability at 24 months of corrected age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if survival rates of preterm infants receiving active perinatal care improve over time. DESIGN The German Neonatal Network is a cohort study of preterm infants with birth weight <1500 g. All eligible infants receiving active perinatal care are registered. We analysed data of patients discharged between 2011 and 2016. SETTING 43 German level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). PATIENTS 8222 preterm infants with a gestational age between 22/0 and 28/6 weeks who received active perinatal care. INTERVENTIONS Participating NICUs were grouped according to their specific survival rate from 2011 to 2013 to high (percentile >P75), intermediate (P25-P75) and low (<P25) survival. We compared these survival rates with data in 2014-2016. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Death by any cause before discharge. RESULTS Total survival increased from 85.8% in 2011-2013 to 87.4% in 2014-2016. This increase was due to reduced mortality of NICUs with low survival rates in 2011-2013. Survival increased in these centres from 53% to 64% in the 22-24 weeks strata and from 73% to 84% in the 25-26 weeks strata. CONCLUSIONS Our data support previous reports that active perinatal care of very immature infants improves outcomes at the border of viability and survival rates at higher gestational ages. The high total number of surviving infants below 24 weeks of gestation challenges national recommendations exclusively referring to gestational age as the single criterion for providing active care. However, more data are needed before recommendations for parental counselling should be reconsidered. TRIAL REGISTRATION Approval by the local institutional review board for research in human subjects of the University of Lübeck (file number 08-022) and by the local ethic committees of all participating centres has been given.

Abstract
We report on the neutrino mass measurement result from the first four-week science run of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN in spring 2019. Beta-decay electrons from a high-purity gaseous molecular tritium source are energy analyzed by a high-resolution MAC-E filter. A fit of the integrated electron spectrum over a narrow interval around the kinematic end point at 18.57 keV gives an effective neutrino mass square value of (-1.0_{-1.1}^{+0.9}) eV^{2}. From this, we derive an upper limit of 1.1 eV (90% confidence level) on the absolute mass scale of neutrinos. This value coincides with the KATRIN sensitivity. It improves upon previous mass limits from kinematic measurements by almost a factor of 2 and provides model-independent input to cosmological studies of structure formation.

Clinical Relevance of Pathogens Detected by Multiplex PCR in Blood of Very-Low-Birth Weight Infants with Suspected Sepsis - Multicentre Study of the German Neonatal Network.

Abstract
Introduction In the German Neonatal Network (GNN) 10% of very-low-birth weight infants (VLBWI) suffer from blood-culture confirmed sepsis, while 30% of VLBWI develop clinical sepsis. Diagnosis of sepsis is a difficult task leading to potential over-treatment with antibiotics. This study aims to investigate whether the results of blood multiplex-PCR (SeptiFast®) for common sepsis pathogens are relevant for clinical decision making when sepsis is suspected in VLBWI. Methods We performed a prospective, multi-centre study within the GNN including 133 VLBWI with 214 episodes of suspected late onset sepsis (LOS). In patients with suspected sepsis a multiplex-PCR (LightCycler SeptiFast MGRADE-test®) was performed from 100 μl EDTA blood in addition to center-specific laboratory biomarkers. The attending neonatologist documented whether the PCR-result, which was available after 24 to 48 hrs, had an impact on the choice of antibiotic drugs and duration of therapy. Results PCR was positive in 110/214 episodes (51%) and blood culture (BC) was positive in 55 episodes (26%). Both methods yielded predominantly coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) followed by Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In 214 BC—PCR paired samples concordant results were documented in 126 episodes (59%; n = 32 were concordant pathogen positive results, n = 94 were negative in both methods). In 65 episodes (30%) we found positive PCR results but negative BCs, with CoNS being identified in 43 (66%) of these samples. Multiplex-PCR results influenced clinical decision making in 30% of episodes, specifically in 18% for the choice of antimicrobial therapy and in 22% for the duration of antimicrobial therapy. Conclusions Multiplex-PCR results had a moderate impact on clinical management in about one third of LOS-episodes. The main advantage of multiplex-PCR was the rapid detection of pathogens from micro-volume blood samples. In VLBWI limitations include risk of contamination, lack of resistance testing and high costs. The high rate of positive PCR results in episodes of negative BC might lead to overtreatment of infants which is associated with risk of mortality, antibiotic resistance, fungal sepsis and NEC.

Abstract
HISTORY AND CLINICAL FINDINGS In a 58-year-old man progressive yellowing of all nails was associated with the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis and COPD, later the COPD exacerbated with pneumonias. INVESTIGATIONS Repeated fungal cultures and polymerase chain reactions to detect fungal DNA in order to exclude Onychomycosis, chest X-ray, computed tomography of the lung, extended pulmonary function tests, ECG, echocardiography and abdominal ultrasonography were performed and had normal results. TREATMENT AND COURSE Normal fingernails regrew after a 6 month-course of vitamin E intake, most of the toenails remained coloured and thickened. After the initial presentation at the dermatological outpatient department the pulmonary situation remained stable, there was no need for additional pulmonary interventions. CONCLUSION Yellowing of all nails is a diagnostic sign of the Yellow-nail-Syndrome, which is associated with respiratory diseases, the treatment is often difficult and also an interdisciplinary approach is needed.

Abstract
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. During catabolic stress encephalopathy and brain swelling that can culminate in brain herniation may occur. Beyond the neonatal period, these metabolic decompensations normally can be treated with a conservative dietary emergency regimen. Nevertheless in exceptionally severe cases also older patients may require extracorporeal interventions. We present the case of a 12-year-old patient with cerebral edema and imminent cerebral herniation. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) caused a prompt decrease of the toxic metabolite levels as well as an improvement of the patient's condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A variety of medical robots have been developed in recent years. MRI, including MR angiography and morphological imaging, with its excellent soft-tissue contrast is attractive for the development of interventional MRI-guided therapies and operations. This paper presents a telerobotic device for use in CT- and/or MR-guided radiological interventions. A robotic device for precise needle insertion during MR-guided therapy of spinal diseases will be briefly described. MATERIALS AND METHODS Actuation of robots in an MRI environment is difficult due to the presence of strong magnetic fields. Therefore, the robot was constructed of nonmagnetic materials. The system frame was built from polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and fiber-reinforced epoxy, and actuated using ultrasonic and pneumatic motors. Completely MR-compatible sensors were developed for positioning control. RESULTS Accuracy evaluation procedures and phantom tests were performed, with the required accuracy of approximately 1 mm being achieved and no significant artifacts being caused by the robotic device during MR image acquisition.

Abstract
A group of 27 patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia were compared with 10 control subjects before stress exposure. No statistically significant differences between patients and controls were found for the cardiovascular parameters. Skin conductance level and skin conductance reaction were significantly higher in the patient group. They also showed higher self-ratings in behavioural symptoms associated with anxiety. There were statistically significant higher venous plasma levels of norepinephrine in patients than in controls, although the epinephrine levels were similar. The number of binding sites of alpha 2-receptors and the affinity of 3H-yohimbine to the alpha 2-receptors on intact thrombocytes was statistically significantly lower in patients compared to controls. Significant differences between the gender groups of patients and controls were found for electrodermal activity and epinephrine levels. These data add further evidence to an overshooting activation of the noradrenergic pathway in patients with panic disorder, possibly based on a dysregulation of alpha 2-receptor.
