    Title translation Pathophysiology of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common condition in intensive care medicine. Various intra- and extrapulmonal causes may trigger an epithelial and endothelial permeability increase, which leads to impaired gas exchange due to fluid overload of the alveoli and transmigration of leukocytes. This results in hypoxemia and hypercapnia, as well as deleterious consequences for the macro- and microcirculation with the risk of multi-organ failure and high mortality. This review summarizes ARDS pathophysiology and clinical consequences.

    Abstract Neurological outcome and quality of live are of uttermost interest in survivors of cardiac arrest. Assuming acceptable rates of return of spontaneous circulation, the long-term effects on neurological function and quality of live after cardiopulmonary resuscitation remain unsatisfactory. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) can reduce low-flow times and therefore provide adequate cerebral tissue perfusion and oxygenation. This may improve favorable outcomes after cardiac arrest. Due to the risk of procedure related complications and ethical issues, this technique should be only performed in selected patients by specially trained and experienced teams. In this review we aimed at providing an insight into the sparse evidence in this field and discussing ethical issues associated with the use of eCPR.

    Title translation Measurement of Anti-SARS CoV-2 Antibodies following Vaccination: Valuable Monitoring or Irrelevant Tool?
    Abstract Vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) provides effective protection against infection or severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Moreover, it is regarded as the single most important measure to end the pandemic. Individual vaccination effectiveness is often judged via measurement of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. However, considering the complexity of the humoral and cellular immune response the question arises whether the relation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers and COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness is a myth or a fact? The current article aims to answer this question and provide a short review of the immunological mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Recommendations for clinical practice are given based on the current evidence and known problems of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody measurements after vaccination.

    Abstract Background: Pharmacological interventions reducing myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury include the administration of anesthetics. Both sevoflurane as well as propofol have been shown to elicit cardiac protection via distinct molecular mechanisms. We investigated the hypothesis that sevoflurane in contrary to propofol anesthesia elicits cardiac protection against I/R-injury via mitochondrial mechanisms of disease.
    Methods: Male New Zealand white rabbits (n = 42) were subjected 30 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 h of reperfusion. After induction with pentobarbital, the animals either received sevoflurane or propofol to maintain general anesthesia. Infarct size was determined gravimetrically after triphenyltetrazolium chlorid-staining. Cardiac mitochondria were isolated and mitochondrial oxygen consumption was measured using a Clark electrode. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activities (I-IV) were analyzed utilizing specific assays. Data are mean ± SD.
    Results: Sevoflurane anesthesia significantly decreased the resulting myocardial infarct size compared to propofol anesthesia (p = 0.0275 vs. propofol). Mitochondria from animals receiving propofol anesthesia showed a significantly reduced mitochondrial respiratory control ratio (p = 0.01909 vs. sham) and impaired activities of respiratory complex I (p = 0.0147 vs. sham; p < 0.01 vs. sevoflurane) as well as respiratory complex IV (p = 0.0181 vs. sham). Mitochondrial dysfunction was absent in sevoflurane anesthesized animals. Furthermore, a significantly higher portion of complex I was found to be in its deactive form during I/R-injury in animals receiving sevoflurane anesthesia (p = 0.0123 vs. propofol).
    Conclusions: Sevoflurane as opposed to propofol anesthesia preserved mitochondrial respiration and elicited cardiac protection against I/R-injury.

    Abstract Pharmacologic cardiac conditioning increases the intrinsic resistance against ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. The cardiac conditioning response is mediated via complex signaling networks. These networks have been an intriguing research field for decades, largely advancing our knowledge on cardiac signaling beyond the conditioning response. The centerpieces of this system are the mitochondria, a dynamic organelle, almost acting as a cell within the cell. Mitochondria comprise a plethora of functions at the crossroads of cell death or survival. These include the maintenance of aerobic ATP production and redox signaling, closely entwined with mitochondrial calcium handling and mitochondrial permeability transition. Moreover, mitochondria host pathways of programmed cell death impact the inflammatory response and contain their own mechanisms of fusion and fission (division). These act as quality control mechanisms in cellular ageing, release of pro-apoptotic factors and mitophagy. Furthermore, recently identified mechanisms of mitochondrial regeneration can increase the capacity for oxidative phosphorylation, decrease oxidative stress and might help to beneficially impact myocardial remodeling, as well as invigorate the heart against subsequent ischemic insults. The current review highlights different pathways and unresolved questions surrounding mitochondria in myocardial I/R injury and pharmacological cardiac conditioning.

    Abstract In order to develop hardware that can be used in space, tests under those space conditions are often important to ensure the functionality in advance. Facilities that are used to recreate gravity conditions of space include space stations, satellites, parabolic flights and earthbound facilities. Drop towers are earthbound facilities, that can replicate the gravitational conditions of free falling in space by dropping objects. Those objects would not experience any measurable force due to gravity according to Einstein's famous thought experiment. The Einstein-Elevator is one of the first active driven drop towers with an experiment carrier falling inside a gondola. A major indicator for the quality of the facility is the residual acceleration of the payload. With the Einstein-Elevators current setup vibrations of the experiment carrier cause measurable residual accelerations of higher than [Formula: see text]g. To achieve the targeted 0-g-quality with a residual acceleration of less than 1 [Formula: see text]g (microgravity) in the Einstein-Elevator, a new experiment carrier is required that minimizes the residual acceleration for a payload. This paper describes a design of the experiment carrier for the Einstein-Elevator that is able to reach microgravity and analyzes its functionality using FEM-simulations.
