Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Anemia affects the postoperative course of patients undergoing a major surgical procedure. However, it remains unclear whether anemia has a different impact on the long-term outcome of patients with malignant or benign pancreatic disease. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for pancreatic malignancies or chronic pancreatitis was conducted between January 2012 and June 2018 at the University Hospital Dresden, Germany. The occurrence of preoperative anemia and the administration of pre-, intra-, and postoperative blood transfusions were correlated with postoperative complications and survival data by uni- and multivariate analysis. RESULTS A total of 682 patients were included with 482 (70.7%) undergoing surgical procedures for pancreatic malignancies. Univariate regression analysis confirmed preoperative anemia as a risk factor for postoperative complications > grade 2 according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Multivariate regression analyses indicated postoperative blood transfusion as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in patients with a benign (OR 20.5; p value < 0.001) and a malignant pancreatic lesion (OR 4.7; p value < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed preoperative anemia and pre-, intra-, and postoperative blood transfusions as independent prognostic factors for shorter overall survival in benign and malignant patients (p value < 0.001-0.01). CONCLUSION Preoperative anemia is a prevalent, independent, and adjustable factor in pancreatic surgery, which poses a significant risk for postoperative complications irrespective of the entity of the underlying disease. It should therefore be understood as an adjustable factor rather than an indicator of underlying disease severity.

Abstract
Recent advances in preoperative and postoperative imaging have an increasing influence on surgical decision-making and make more complex surgical interventions possible. This improves the possibilities for frequently occurring challenges and promoting improved functional and oncological outcome. This manuscript reviews the role of preoperative and intraoperative imaging in surgery. Various techniques are explained based on examples from hepatobiliary surgery and neurosurgery, in particular real-time procedures, such as the online use of augmented reality and in vivo fluorescence, as well as new and promising optical techniques including imaging of intrinsic signals and vibrational spectroscopy.

Abstract
In den letzten zehn Jahren hat sich das deutsche Gesundheitssystem zunehmend gewandelt. Kliniken stehen unter deutlichem ökonomischen Druck und betriebswirtschaftliches Wissen wird auch für Mediziner immer wichtiger, auch um mit der Klinikverwaltung optimal im Sinne der Patienten zusammenarbeiten zu können. Medizin und Ökonomie stehen hierbei nicht im Widerspruch zueinander. Durch effizientere Leitung einer Abteilung lassen sich häufig Ressourcen einsparen, Prozessabläufe besser gestalten und auch für den Patienten vorteilhafte Ergebnisse bezüglich Service und medizinischer Qualität erzielen.In den letzten Jahren hat das Angebot an ökonomischen und betriebswirtschaftlichen Zusatzstudiengängen und Weiterbildungsangeboten für Mediziner stetig zugenommen und wird im Folgenden beleuchtet.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative ileus is a common problem after abdominal surgery. It was postulated that coffee intake would decrease postoperative ileus after colectomy.
Methods
This was a multicentre parallel open-label randomized trial. Patients with malignant or benign disease undergoing elective open or laparoscopic colectomy were assigned randomly before surgery to receive either coffee or water after the procedure (100 ml three times daily). The primary endpoint was time to first bowel movement; secondary endpoints were time to first flatus, time to tolerance of solid food, length of hospital stay and perioperative morbidity.
Results
A total of 80 patients were randomized, 40 to each group. One patient in the water arm was excluded owing to a change in surgical procedure. Patient characteristics were similar in both groups. In intention-to-treat analysis, the time to the first bowel movement was significantly shorter in the coffee arm than in the water arm (mean(s.d.) 60·4(21·3) versus 74·0(21·6) h; P = 0·006). The time to tolerance of solid food (49·2(21·3) versus 55·8(30·0) h; P = 0·276) and time to first flatus (40·6(16·1) versus 46·4(20·1) h; P = 0·214) showed a similar trend, but the differences were not significant. Length of hospital stay (10·8(4·4) versus 11·3(4·5) days; P = 0·497) and morbidity (8 of 40 versus 10 of 39 patients; P = 0·550) were comparable in the two groups.
Conclusion
Coffee consumption after colectomy was safe and was associated with a reduced time to first bowel action. Registration number: NCT01079442 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).

Abstract
In September 1987 dry seeds containing embryos of the crucifer plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh, were flown in orbit for 13 days on the Kosmos 1887 satellite. The seeds were fixed on CNd detectors and stored in units of Biorack type I/O. One unit was exposed inside, another one outside the satellite. The temperature profile of the flown seeds inside the satellite was simulated on earth in an identical backup control sample (BC). An additional control (SC) was studied with the original seeds sample. By use of the CNd-detector, HZE-tracks were measured with a PC-assisted microscope. The biological damages were investigated by growing the seeds under controlled climatic conditions. The following biological endpoints of the cosmic radiation damage were studied: germination, radicle length, sublethality, morphological aberrations, flower development, tumorization, embryo lethality inside the siliques. The summarized damage (D) and the mutation frequencies of embyronic lethal genes were calculated. The following results were obtained: the damages increase significantly in orbit at all biological endpoints; germination and fiowerings especially, as well as embryo lethality of fruits and lethal mutation frequency, were maximum mostly for HZE-hit seeds. Additionally, an increase of damage was observed for the seeds of the outside-exposed Biorack in comparison to the inside ones, which was probably caused by less radiation shielding and free space vacuum. The significance of the results obtained is discussed with respect to stress and risk and, thus, the quality of the RBE-factors and heavy ionizing radiation all needed for the very definition of radiation protection standards in space.

Abstract
Early and late effects of accelerated heavy ions (HZE) on the embryonic tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds were investigated seeing that initial cells of the plant eumeristems resemble the original cells of animal and human tissues with continuous cell proliferation. The endpoints measured were lethality and tumorization in the M1-generation for early effects and embryonic lethality in the M2-generation for late effects. The biological endpoints are plotted as functions of the physical parameters of the irradiation i.e. ion fluence (p/cm2), dose (Gray), charge Z and linear energy transfer (LET). The results presented contribute to the estimation of the principles of biological HZE effects and thus may help to develop a unified theory which could explain the whole sequence from physical and chemical reactions to biological responses connected with heavy ion radiation. Additionally, the data of this paper may be used for the discussion of the quality factor for heavy ion irradiation needed for space missions and for HZE-application in radio-therapy by use of accelerators (UNILAC, (SIS/ESR), BEVALAC).

Abstract
Irradiation of dry seeds of Arabidopsis with heavy ions (HZE-particles) produced by UNILAC-accelerator (GSI, Darmstadt) yielded aberrations in varied developmental endpoints such as survival rate and embryo vitality. The damage increased with particle density and charge. Cross sections in the range of 0.2-1.0 micrometer2 for Ne and Ar and 2.0-10.0 micrometers2 for Xe were estimated. Soaked seeds were more sensitive than dry seeds (cross-section 2.0-10.0 micrometers2 for Ar). The induced total damage in the irradiated seeds was estimated adding the different damages weighted by certain factors. These results will be used as base data for the interpretation and evaluation of spaceflight experiments on the biological effects of cosmic radiation.

Abstract
The radiobiological properties of the heavy ions of cosmic radiation were investigated on Spacelab 1 by use of biostacks, monolayers of biological test organisms sandwiched between thin foils of different types of nuclear track detectors. Biostacks were exposed to cosmic radiation at several locations with different shielding environments in the module and on the pallet. Evaluations of the physical and biological components of the experiment to date indicate that in general they survived the spaceflight in good condition. Dosimetric data are presented for the different shielding environments.
