    Abstract The objective of this study was to assess and present technical data related to resuscitation procedures that involved the application of a defibrillator for at least one shock. Specifically, we sought to distinguish two rectangular defibrillation impulses in terms of varying phase durations. The evaluation encompassed a range of defibrillation metrics and metadata, including transthoracic impedance, mean and peak currents. The results of this analysis provide valuable insights into the technical aspects of defibrillation.

    Abstract As hormonal disorders are linked to several diseases, the accurate quantitation of steroid hormone levels in serum is crucial in order to provide patients with a reliable diagnosis. Mass spectrometry-based methods are regarded as having the highest level of specificity and sensitivity. However, immunoassays are more commonly used in routine diagnostics to measure steroid levels as they are more cost effective and straightforward to conduct. This study analyzes the external quality assessment results for the measurement of testosterone, progesterone and 17β-estradiol in serum using immunoassays between early 2020 and May 2022. As reference measurement procedures are available for the three steroid hormones, the manufacturer-specific biases were normalized to the reference measurement values. The manufacturer-specific coefficients of variation were predominantly inconspicuous, below 20% for the three hormones when outliers are disregarded, however there were large differences between the various manufacturer collectives. For some collectives, the median bias to the respective reference measurement value was repeatedly greater than ±35%, which is the acceptance limit defined by the German Medical Association. In the case of testosterone and progesterone determination, some collectives tended to consistently over- or underestimate analyte concentrations compared to the reference measurement value, however, for 17β-estradiol determination, both positive and negative biases were observed. This insufficient level of accuracy suggests that cross-reactivity continues to be a fundamental challenge when antibody detection is used to quantify steroids with a high structural similarity. Distinct improvements in standardization are required to provide accurate analysis and thus, reliable clinical interpretations. The increased accuracy of the AX immunoassay for testosterone measurement, as observed in the INSTAND EQAs between 2020 and 2022, could be the result of a recalibration of the assay and raises hope for further improvement of standardization of immunoassay-based steroid hormone analyses in the coming years.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION: Long-read sequencing techniques such as Oxford Nanopore sequencing, are representing a promising novel approach in molecular-biological methodology, enabling potential facilitation in mapping and de novo assembly. In comparison to conventional sequencing methods, novel alignment tools are mandated to compensate differing data structures (especially high error rate) to achieve acceptably accurate analysis results. METHODS: In this study, benchmarking for long read aligners BLASR, GraphMap, LAST, minimap2, NGMLR and the short-read aligner BWA MEM on three experimental datasets was conducted. Obtained alignment results were compared for various quality and performance criteria, such as match rate, mismatch rate, error rate, working memory usage and computational time. RESULTS: The comparison yielded differences in alignment quality and performance of tools under test. Tool LAST showed the largest differences among all tools. Minimap2 achieved constant quality with good performance. BLASR, GraphMap, BWA MEM and NGMLR showed slight differences only. CONCLUSION: Differences among the tools could be reasoned with dataset characteristics and algorithm approaches of individual tools. All tools except BLASR seem applicable for Nanopore sequencing data. Therefore, selection of the tool should be done under consideration of the experimental design and the further downstream analysis

    Abstract Background: Cutaneous microcirculation (cMC) is influenced by many factors. In cardiac surgery, most operations are performed with a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardiac arrest induced by cardioplegic solutions.
    Objectives: Aim of this study was to examine a correlation between cMC and hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing heart surgery with two different cardioplegic solutions.
    Methods: 20 patients were included and divided into Histidine-Tryptophane-α-Ketoglutarate solution- (HTK, n = 10) and blood cardioplegia- (BCP, n = 10) groups. With initiation of CPB, cMC was continuously monitored with Laser-Doppler-Perfusion (LDP) until termination of CPB. Additionally, we measured hemoglobin-concentration (HbC) with a Blood-Parameter-Monitoring-System.
    Results: LDP pulsation was almost equal before and after CPB and decreased during aortic cross clamping. The following factors influenced LDP: central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), total peripheral resistance (TPR) and flow of the heart-lung machine. We measured relative LDP and HbC (RLDP; RHbC). Five and 25 min after administration of cardioplegia, RLDP (1.22±0.8; 1.17±0.94) and RHbC (0.92±0.06; 0.96±0.09) in the HTK-group were lower than in the BCP-group: RLDP (1.58±1.11; 1.58±2.2) and RHbC (1.00±0.05; 0.99±0.13). HTK-patients with a body surface area (BSA) <2 m2 showed a lower RLDP (0.75±0.50), than patients over 2 m2 (RLDP = 1.64±0.97).
    Conclusions: The cMC is influenced by CPB. Cutaneous LDP monitoring is a non-invasive method, for estimating hemodynamics intraoperatively.
