Short interruptions between pre‐warming and intraoperative warming are associated with low intraoperative hypothermia rates
No full textBACKGROUND: Prevention of inadvertent hypothermia is recommended for procedures >30 minutes because hypothermia increases the risk of myocardial ischemia, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion and wound complications. Therefore, short warming interruptions between pre-warming and intraoperative warming might result in lower hypothermia rates. The aim of this retrospective investigation was to determine whether the incidence of inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia was affected by the warming interruption. METHODS: The lowest intraoperative body core temperature value and the warming interruption time were taken from anaesthesia records. Body core temperature was recorded continuously, and a patient was classified to be hypothermic if the lowest recorded temperature value was 20 minutes showed significantly higher hypothermia rates than those with interruptions of ≤20 minutes (P < .0001). CONCLUSION: Intraoperative hypothermia rates increased significantly with longer forced-air warming interruptions between pre-warming and intraoperative warming. Short warming interruptions can preserve the effect of pre-warming and are associated with low intraoperative hypothermia rates
A Description of Figurative Speech in Idina Menzel Selected Song
No full textThis paper is entitled “Description of Figurative Speech in Idina Menzel Selected Song”.
This paper aims to find the types of figurative speech contained in Idina Menzel's selected
songs in her album named Idina, and find the dominant figurative speech used in the songs.
The research method that the author used is the descriptive method or qualitative research
using the theory of Gorys Keraf (2007). From this research, the authors found four types of
figurative speech used in five selected songs by Idina Menzel with two types of figurative
speech dominating. The four kinds of figurative are hyperbole, simile, repetition, and
personification. And the dominant type of figurative speech used is Hyperbole and Simile.56 HalamanKertas Karya Diplom
Evaluation of the Temple Touch Pro™ noninvasive core-temperature monitoring system in 100 adults under general anesthesia: a prospective comparison with esophageal temperature
No full textAbstractPerioperative hypothermia is still common and has relevant complication for the patient. An effective perioperative thermal management requires essentially an accurate method to measure core temperature. So far, only one study has investigated the new Temple Touch Pro™ (Medisim Ltd., Beit-Shemesh, Israel). during anesthesia Therefore, we assessed the agreement between the Temple Touch Pro™ thermometer (TTP) and distal esophageal temperature (TEso) in a second study. After approval by the local ethics committee we studied 100 adult patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. Before induction of anesthesia the TTP sensor unit was attached to the skin above the temporal artery. After induction of anesthesia an esophageal temperature probe was placed in the distal esophagus. Recordings started 10 min after placement of the esophageal temperature probe to allow adequate warming of the probes. Pairs of temperature values were documented in five-minute intervals until emergence of anesthesia. Accuracy of the two methods was assessed by Bland-Altman comparisons of differences with multiple measurements. Core temperatures obtained with the TTP in adults showed a mean bias of -0.04 °C with 95% limits of agreement within − 0.99 °C to + 0.91 °C compared to an esophageal temperature probe. We consider the TTP as a reasonable tool for perioperative temperature monitoring. It is not accurate enough to be used as a reference method in scientific studies, but may be a useful tool especially for conscious patients undergoing neuraxial anesthesia or regional anesthesia with sedation.Trial registration This study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS-ID: 00024050), day of registration 12/01/2021.</jats:p
Nanotechnologie
No full textEnde 2008, zur Institutsklausur, entstand die Idee, am 5. Februar 2009 begann die Arbeit: Das IWU-Trendscouting-Team kam zum ersten Mal zusammen und begann auch sofort mit der Arbeit. Unter Regie von Daniela López, Abteilungsleiterin Forschungsplanung, haben sich Wissenschaftler aus allen Hauptabteilungen des Instituts, nämlich Dr. Werner Kretzschmar aus der 100, Kenny Pagel aus der 200, Ruben Bauer aus der 300, Matthias Milbrandt aus der 400 und Sandra Menzel aus der 500 zusammengeschlossen, um neben ihrer eigentlichen Forschungsarbeit gezielt über den Tellerrand zu schauen und auch nach Anregungen aus auf den ersten Blick fremden wissenschaftlichen Fachbereichen zu suchen. Eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben des Teams ist es, aktuelle Trends zu verfolgen und hinsichtlich ihrer Relevanz für unsere eigenen Forschungsgebiete zu überprüfen. Ganz oben auf dieser Themenliste steht die Nanotechnologie, die zwar nicht mehr wirklich neu ist, deren Anwendung in unseren Hauptarbeitsgebieten aber noch am Anfang steht. In diesem Zusammenhang haben Herr Ruben Bauer und Herr Matthias Milbrandt am 18. Juni 2009 in Chemnitz sowie Frau Sandra Menzel und Herr Kenny Pagel am 26. Juni in Dresden einen gleichlautenden Vortrag gehalten
Ordination. Grundfragen und Impulse aus reformierter Perspektive
No full textDie reformierten Kirchen der Schweiz weisen vielfältige Amtsverständnisse auf. Ihre Konturen und Konfliktlinien spiegeln sich auch in der Amtseinsetzung, der Ordination. Vor dem Hintergrund zurückgehender Mitgliederzahlen und Finanzen und der zunehmenden weltanschaulichen Pluralisierung muss darum nicht nur über die Ämter und Dienste der Kirche, sondern auch über die Ordination neu nachgedacht werden.
Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger behandeln das Thema Ordination retrospektiv und zukunftsorientiert, gegenwartsanalytisch und auch im Blick auf den europäischen Protestantismus. Die Texte aus den Bereichen Neues Testament, Kirchengeschichte, Dogmatik, Ökumenik, Soziologie, Praktische Theologie und Kirchenrecht bieten einen fundierten Überblick und Impulse für die weitere Diskussion.

Coherent Fourier scatterometry reveals nerve fiber crossings in the brain
No full textPrevious simulation studies by Menzel et al. [Phys. Rev. X 10, 021002 (2020)] have shown that scattering patterns of light transmitted through artificial nerve fiber constellations contain valuable information about the tissue substructure such as the individual fiber orientations in regions with crossing nerve fibers. Here, we present a method that measures these scattering patterns in monkey and human brain tissue using coherent Fourier scatterometry with normally incident light. By transmitting a non-focused laser beam (λ = 633 nm) through unstained histological brain sections, we measure the scattering patterns for small tissue regions (with diameters of 0.1–1 mm), and show that they are in accordance with the simulated scattering patterns. We reveal the individual fiber orientations for up to three crossing nerve fiber bundles, with crossing angles down to 25°

Towards high-speed computational scattered light imaging by introducing compressed sensing for optimized illumination
No full textWe propose the application of Compressed Sensing to Computational Scattered Light Imaging to decrease measurement time and data storage. Computational Scattered Light Imaging (ComSLI) determines three-dimensional fiber orientations and crossings in biomedical tissues like brain tissue. Currently, conventional ComSLI is time-consuming and generates large data. Compressed Sensing reconstructs signals with fewer samples than required by the Shannon-Nyquist theorem with minimal perceptual loss, significantly reducing the number of measurements. We introduce an optimized illumination strategy for ComSLI based on the Discrete Cosine Transform and validate it by reconstructing characteristic scattering patterns in vervet brain tissue, thereby demonstrating the feasibility of Compressed Sensing in ComSLI.ImPhys/Menzel grou
