Objective: To realize multi-modal data exchange for telemedicine in epilepsy.
Methods: TE Ruhr is a multicenter, prospective pilot study. Primary endpoint of the study was the technical implementation of a platform between an epilepsy center and regional neurological departments and international cooperating epilepsy centers, respectively. A multi-professional board was established to develop technical workflows. After completion of the study a survey was conducted among users of the regional arm.
Results: Two workflows were developed, 1) a combination of web-application and use of an established teleradiology network, and 2) a web-application only data exchange. Technical workflow 1 comprised local EEG conversion into to a standard format (.besa) and its shipping as DICOM RAW object. Technically, both workflows could be implemented. Yet, workflow 1 was not realisable in peripheral hospitals. Via workflow 2, 149 consults for 144 patients were completed. Users of the regional arm were satisfied (1.6 on a grading scale of 1-6 (1-very good, 6- very bad)).
Conclusion: Technical feasibility alone does not determine the actual use of telemedicine. Web applications enables multimodal data exchange, but usability is limited due to lack of interoperability.
Significance: Genuine interoperability of medical data remains the desired goal for multi modal data exchange.

FocA belongs to the formate-nitrite transporter (FNT) superfamily of pentameric membrane proteins, which translocate small, monovalent anions across the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria, archaea and certain protists. FocA translocates formate anions or formic acid bidirectionally through a hydrophobic pore present in each protomer. This pore has two highly conserved amino acid residues, threonine 91 and histidine 209 that are proposed to protonate the anion during the translocation process.

Purpose: Tracer kinetic models are used in arterial spin labeling (ASL); however, deciding which model parameters to fix or fit is not always trivial. The identifiability of the resultant system of equations is useful to consider, since it will likely impact parameter uncertainty. Here, we analyze the identifiability of two-compartment models used in multi-echo (ME) blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-ASL and evaluate the reliability of the fitted water-transfer rate ).

The chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored vaccine developed by the University of Oxford (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) showed good stability when stored in refrigerator. However, the vaccine manufacturer prefers its transportation in frozen condition. Data regarding the stability of the vaccine after exposure to repeated freezing processes have not been explored yet.

BackgroundDuring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), goal-directed perfusion (GDP) seeks to match oxygen delivery to metabolic demand, but the dynamics of oxygen extraction and intraoperative oxygen demand remain poorly understood, especially in paediatric populations. Existing models rely on limited data and assume, for example, a linear relationship between log oxygen demand and temperature.MethodsWe developed GARIX (Global AutoRegressive Integrated model with eXogenous variables and an equilibrium force) to predict minute-by-minute changes in oxygen extraction ratio (OER) using high-resolution intraoperative data.

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect up to 10% of pregnancies and can have adverse short and long-term implications for women and their babies. eHealth interventions include any health service or treatment delivered using the internet and related technology that aims to facilitate, capture, or exchange knowledge. eHealth interventions are increasingly used across many health care settings with improved outcomes.
