medicine

Medicine is the science of healthy and sick organisms and deals extensively with prevention, healing and palliation of all living environmental areas of humans. It is one of the forward-looking instances and offers a wide variety of research approaches, which require a well-founded overview simply because of their striving to counteract current challenges and diseases. In the medicine category you will find literature from the fields of human medicine, as well as dentistry, oral and maxillofacial medicine and veterinary medicine. It is demanding, practice-oriented and scientifically relevant research literature for studies, teaching and work. If you also want to publish your work, dissertation, bachelor thesis, master thesis or specialist book in the field of medicine as an individual publication or in a series of publications, then contact us - we will be happy to advise you!

Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function over time and affects 10% of the population worldwide. One of the common treatment of kidney disease is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis removes waste products and excess fluid from the bloodstream. Intradialytic hypotensive episodes still represent the most frequent complication in dialysis treatments. One major reason that causes hypotensive episodes is the application of a non-adequate net fluid removal rate. This work presents the development of a physiological closed loop system, which...

The aortic aneurysm is a common disease that is particularly relevant due to the feared complication of rupture with an extraordinarily high mortality rate. The valid recording of aortic growth is essential, since therapeutic decisions that are relevant for the patient's outcome depend on it. In the present work, the growth behavior of the aorta was quantified, CT-morphological and clinical growth predictors were derived and growth rates were compared on the basis of different parameters. Details Title: Predictors for the...

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is considered the most dangerous parasitic zoonosis in Central Europe and is caused by the second larval stage of the small fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. In addition to humans, non-human primates can also contract AE, which is characterized by a gradually progressive course of the disease and is usually fatal if left untreated. Due to the increase in spontaneous cases of AE in macaques at the German Primate Center, the changes associated with AE were extensively pathomorphologically...

Simulation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is based on the Bloch equation. Solving the Bloch equation numerically is not difficult, but realistic imaging experiments bear a high computational burden. In his dissertation, Cristoffer Cordes presents simulation methods that exploit hardware restrictions and the common structure of MRI sequences while not enforcing any approximations. These strategies use the reoccurrence of radiofrequency pulses, partial availability of analytical solutions, a reformulation of the problem in Fourier space and finally an inclusion of the...

We know almost everything about individual nerve cells and the knowledge about the function of entire brain regions is increasing every day. However, if we look for explanations of the functions of cell clusters with thousands or even millions of neurons, then there is a gaping void. We do not know it. Or rather, we didn't know, because this book develops and describes the signal processing and the way information is stored in our brain and in neural networks in...

Many questions remain in the design and evaluation of automated cleaning processes for surgical instruments. This work describes a model for evaluating the process and its optimization. A total of sixteen influencing factors (measuring method, machine, process parameters) on the cleaning result are statistically examined. Tests are carried out in parallel using various measuring methods (TOC, BCA) and test soiling on self-constructed, demountable test specimens. The results are compared with processes in clinics. A simplified model of practical process evaluation...

The disease diabetes mellitus represents a major health and economic problem. In industrialized countries, the prevalence is estimated at 6-8%. In the present work, the care situation of patients with type 2 diabetes was analyzed using the patient database "Disease Analyzer" and 6 published studies were summarized. In addition to examining the validity of the database, the temporal development of the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and antidiabetic therapies was analyzed, the most important oral antidiabetic substance classes and insulin therapies...

The ciliated cells of the respiratory epithelium play an important role in the pulmonary mucociliary clearance mechanisms. Ultrastructural changes in the cilia of these cells can therefore be an expression of pathogenetic processes in the context of respiratory diseases. Against this background, ultrastructural indications of ciliary dyskinesia in common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) of different ages and taking into account clinically inapparent pulmonary changes were determined in the present work in order to make a contribution to the validation of common...
