    Abstract Purpose: Weight loss after bariatric operations may be reduced in older patients due to changes in metabolism. Some studies showed inferior weight loss in older patients compared to younger ones while others showed no such difference. In order to counsel patients about the expected weight loss after bariatric surgery, recommendations stratified by age are important.
    Methods: This study encompasses a retrospective analysis of 500 consecutive patients with RYGB or sleeve gastrectomies from a single institution with a mean follow-up time of 3.6 years. Patients were stratified into five groups according to age at the time point of the operation: < 30 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, and ≥ 60 years.
    Results: Weight loss expressed in percent excessive body mass index loss (%EBMIL) at nadir were 86.6, 89.5, 84.0, 77.9, and 76.4% and 75.6, 78.4, 73.3, 68.0, and 69.0% at the time of last follow-up for the five groups, respectively. Weight loss was significantly higher in younger patients than in older patients for both time points. The total number of comorbidities that showed complete remission (normal values without treatment), was also significantly higher in the younger age groups.
    Conclusions: Primary bariatric operations yield better weight loss results and remission rates of obesity related comorbidities in younger patients, but are still effective in older individuals.

    Abstract Objective: In this retrospective observational study and referring to a historical case presented in 2009, we searched for typical clinical and imaging features of brainstem encephalitis in neuroborreliosis.
    Methods: In addition to the historical case we describe five affected patients.
    Results: All patients had a very similar prolonged clinical course with unspecific symptoms such as wasting, fatigue and headache. Brainstem signs were irregularly observed. MRI showed symmetrical brainstem alterations in all patients. In coronary FLAIR imaging these changes formed a figure resembling a Philippine tarsier.
    Conclusions: A subset of patients with neuroborreliosis develops a brainstem encephalitis with a typical clinical course and distinct MRI findings.

    Abstract Endothelin-1 is a key regulator of vascular tone and blood pressure in health and disease. We have recently found that ET-1 production in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) can be promoted by angiotensin II (Ang II) through a novel mechanism involving octamer-binding transcription factor-1 (Oct-1), NADPH oxidase-2 (NOX2), and superoxide anions. As the formation of bioactive ET-1 also depends on endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1), we investigated the transcriptional regulation of the

    Abstract Background: Comprehensive stroke centers (CSC) offer state-of-the-art stroke care in metropolitan centers. However, in rural areas, sufficient stroke expertise is much scarcer. Recently, telemedical stroke networks have offered instant consultation by stroke experts, enabling immediate administration of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on-site and decision on thrombectomy. While these immediate decisions are made during the consult, the impact of the network structures on stroke care in spoke hospitals is still not well described.
    Aims: This study was performed to determine if on-site performance in rural hospitals and patient outcome improve over time through participation and regular medical staff training within a telemedical stroke network.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed data from stroke patients treated in four regional hospitals within the telemedical Neurovascular Network of Southwest Bavaria (NEVAS) between 2014 and 2019. We only included those patients that were treated in the regional hospitals until discharge at home or to neurorehabilitation. Functional outcome (modified Rankin scale) at discharge, mortality rate and periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage served as primary outcome parameters. Door-to-imaging and door-to-needle times were secondary outcome parameters.
    Results: In 2014-2019, 5,379 patients were treated for acute stroke with 477 receiving IVT. Most baseline characteristics were comparable over time. For all stroke patients, door-to-imaging times increased over the years, but significantly improved for potential IVT candidates and those finally treated with IVT. The percentage of patients with door-to-needle time <30 min increased from 10% to 25%. Clinical outcome at discharge improved for all stroke patients treated in the regional hospitals. Particularly for patients treated with IVT, good clinical outcome (modified Rankin scale 0-2) at discharge increased from 2014 to 2019 by 19% and mortality rates dropped from 13% to 5%.
    Conclusions: 24-h/7-day telemedical support and regular on-site medical staff training within a structured telemedicine stroke network such as NEVAS significantly improve on-site stroke care in rural areas, leading to a considerable benefit in clinical outcome.
