    Abstract Modern implementations of widefield fluorescence microscopy often rely on sCMOS cameras, but this camera architecture inherently features pixel-to-pixel variations. Such variations lead to image artifacts and render quantitative image interpretation difficult. Although a variety of algorithmic corrections exists, they require a thorough characterization of the camera, which typically is not easy to access or perform. Here, we developed a fully automated pipeline for camera characterization based solely on thermally generated signal, and implemented it in the popular open-source software Micro-Manager and ImageJ/Fiji. Besides supplying the conventional camera maps of noise, offset and gain, our pipeline also gives access to dark current and thermal noise as functions of the exposure time. This allowed us to avoid structural bias in single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), which without correction is substantial even for scientific-grade, cooled cameras. In addition, our approach enables high-quality 3D super-resolution as well as live-cell time-lapse microscopy with cheap, industry-grade cameras. As our approach for camera characterization does not require any user interventions or additional hardware implementations, numerous correction algorithms that rely on camera characterization become easily applicable.

    Title translation "And suddenly I have a tumor" - the situation of family S./N.
    Abstract Background: Many families affected by a terminal illness need professional help and support. In order to be able to cope with emotional stress, loss of light-heartedness and changes in family structure thorough information is important for patients and their families. The Calgary Family-Assessment and Calgary Family Intervention-Model are suitable to determine the needs of concerned families and hence to offer appropriate interventions.
    Purpose: In an instrumental case study the situation of Mrs. S.2 and her family was analyzed. Mrs. S. is suffering from an inoperable adenocarcinoma.
    Method: An assessment classified the different information given during the first meeting and determined the focus of the interventions.
    Results: Interventions concentrated on cognitive and emotional support.
    Conclusions: The case study showed how family models for nurses could systematically guide professionals in supporting families. Listening and spending time with the concerned person and their families showed to offer important factors, which were perceived as very helpful by the families.

    Abstract Background: Rare cancers are a heterogeneous group of conditions with highly unmet medical needs. Although infrequent in individuals, rare cancers affect millions of people who deserve effective treatments. Therefore, we systematically analyzed the impact of the U.S. Orphan Drug Act of 1983 on delivery of novel treatments for rare cancers.
    Methods: Quantitative cross-sectional analysis was conducted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Orphan Drug Product database according to Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Statement criteria between 1983 and 2015.
    Results: Since 1983, a total of 177 approvals have originated from 1,391 orphan drug designations to treat rare cancers, which represents 36% of all approvals within the U.S. orphan drug act (n = 492). Two compounds (1%) to treat rare cancer were withdrawn after approval. Median time from designation to approval was 2.49 years (interquartile range 1.13-4.64) and decreased significantly over time (p < .001, linear regression). Over the last decade, rare cancer treatments have been transformed from nonspecific cytotoxic agents toward targeted therapies, such as protein kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, representing the largest groups of innovative rare cancer treatments today. Most compounds were approved to treat solid tumors and hematological malignancies.
    Conclusion: The U.S. Orphan Drug Act and associated incentives, such as 7 years of marketing exclusivity, have fostered delivery of novel treatments for rare cancers. More than one-third of all orphan drug approvals address needs of patients suffering from rare cancers. Over the last decade, the understanding of tumorigenesis and genetic driver mutations in different tumor entities has produced innovative treatments, of which many were first approved within the U.S. Orphan Drug Act.
    Implications for practice: Over the last 30 years, the U.S. Orphan Drug Act successfully delivered numerous novel treatments for rare cancers, of which some were subsequently used in other, nonorphan indications. The understanding of molecular mechanisms of diseases is directly connected to the search for novel therapies. The constant pursuit to translate basic research findings into clinical practice is a crucial prerequisite to address unmet medical needs in rare cancers, as in other rare diseases. Oncological drug development proves to be a major player in overall orphan drug research, displayed by more than one-third of all U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved orphan drugs with oncological indications.

    Abstract Background Pitfall traps are commonly used to assess ground dwelling arthropod communities. The effects of different pitfall trap designs on the trapping outcome are poorly investigated however they might affect conclusions drawn from pitfall trap data greatly. Methods We tested four pitfall trap types which have been used in previous studies for their effectiveness: a simple type, a faster exchangeable type with an extended plastic rim plate and two types with guidance barriers (V- and X-shaped). About 20 traps were active for 10 weeks and emptied biweekly resulting in 100 trap samples. Results Pitfall traps with guidance barriers were up to five times more effective than simple pitfall traps and trap samples resulted in more similar assemblage approximations. Pitfall traps with extended plastic rim plates did not only perform poorly but also resulted in distinct carabid assemblages with less individuals of small species and a larger variation. Discussion Due to the obvious trait filtering and resulting altered assemblages, we suggest not to use pitfall traps with extended plastic rim plates. In comprehensive biodiversity inventories, a smaller number of pitfall traps with guidance barriers and a larger number of spatial replicates is of advantage, while due to comparability reasons, the use of simple pitfall traps will be recommended in most other cases.
