    The market launch and regulative assessment of ICT-based medical devices in Europe is very complex due to a multitude of regulations to be considered during requirements engineering and product management. Additionally, there are no established standards, best practices or support tools how to launch medical devices on the market. The paper is part of a project aiming for methodical support for medical device launch and assessment, and is dedicated to investigating problem relevance. To understand the processes and requirements three case studies were analysed and the necessary processes and requirements were matched towards enterprise architectures (EA). Based on this finding, we argue that EA could be a suitable way to visualize and recommend required processes and structures for medical device management. The main contributions of our work are (a) a literature analysis of EA use in health care and especially for telemedicine, (b) results from use case analysis investigating the business perspective from inside three health tech companies and (c) the analysis of problems of telemedicine integration into EA.

    Abstract Nanoscale plasmonic field enhancement at sub-wavelength metallic particles is crucial for surface sensitive spectroscopy, ultrafast microscopy, and nanoscale energy transduction. Here, we demonstrate control of the spatial distribution of localized surface plasmon modes at sub-optical-wavelength crystalline silver (Ag) micropyramids grown on a Si(001) surface. We employ multiphoton photoemission electron microscopy (mP-PEEM) to image how the plasmonic field distributions vary with the photon energy, light polarization, and phase in coherent two-pulse excitation. For photon energy hυ > 2.0 eV, the mP-PEEM images show single photoemission locus, which splits into a dipolar pattern that straddles the Ag crystal at a lower energy. We attribute the variation to the migration of plasmon resonances from the Ag/vacuum to the Ag/Si interfaces by choice of the photon energy. Furthermore, the dipolar response of the Ag/Si interface follows the polarization state of light: for linearly polarized excitations, the plasmon dipole follows the in-plane electric field vector, while for circularly polarized excitations, it tilts in the direction of the handedness due to the conversion of spin angular momentum of light into orbital angular momentum of the plasmons excited in the sample. Finally, we show the coherent control of the spatial plasmon distribution by exciting the sample with two identical circularly polarized light pulses with delay defined with attosecond precision. The near field distribution wobbles at the pyramid base as the pump-probe delay is advanced due to interferences among the contributing fields. We illustrate how the frequency, polarization, and pulse structure can be used to design and control plasmon fields on the nanofemto scale for applications in chemistry and physics.

    Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, caused mostly by bi-allelic gene mutations that impair motile cilia structure and function. Currently, there are no causal treatments for PCD. In many disease models, translational readthrough of premature termination codons (PTC-readthrough) induced by aminoglycosides has been proposed as an effective way of restoring functional protein expression and reducing disease symptoms. However, variable outcomes of pre-clinical trials and toxicity associated with long-term use of aminoglycosides prompt the search for other compounds that might overcome these problems. Because a high proportion of PCD-causing variants are nonsense mutations, readthrough therapies are an attractive option. We tested a group of chemical compounds with known PTC-readthrough potential (ataluren, azithromycin, tylosin, amlexanox, and the experimental compound TC007), collectively referred to as non-aminoglycosides (NAGs). We investigated their PTC-readthrough efficiency in six PTC mutations found in Polish PCD patients, in the context of cell and cilia health, and in comparison to the previously tested aminoglycosides. The NAGs did not compromise the viability of the primary nasal respiratory epithelial cells, and the ciliary beat frequency was retained, similar to what was observed for gentamicin. In HEK293 cells transfected with six PTC-containing inserts, the tested compounds stimulated PTC-readthrough but with lower efficiency than aminoglycosides. The study allowed us to select compounds with minimal negative impact on cell viability and function but still the potential to induce PTC-readthrough.

    Abstract Background: In patients with HCM at high risk of SCD, an ICD should be considered as a standard of care. Current risk approximation algorithms recommended by ESC 2014 criteria indicate that SCD risk is not stable. The aim of the study was to investigate how the calculated SCD risk in HCM patients with an ICD implanted in the past changed over time. Methods: We analyzed 64 HCM patients with ICD for primary prevention, referred for ICD re-implantation, and 32 HCM patients referred for a first-time ICD placement during the same period. The 5-year-SCD risk was assessed for suitable patients using the recommended ESC calculator. Results: The first-time group had a higher 5-year-SCD risk than those referred for ICD re-implantation: 7.50 (IQR 5.98−10.46) vs. 4.88 (IQR 3.42−7.25), p < 0.05. Out of the patients with an initial calculated risk below 4%, the risk increased in 22% of cases, reaching the 4−6% range. In 78% of patients, the risk remained stable and low. In 31% of patients with an initial calculated SCD risk ≥ 6%, the risk decreased over time to below 6%, and in 14% of the cases, below 4%. Conclusions: SCD risk in HCM patients is usually stable or gets lower. Our data suggest it is important to re-evaluate the risk profile for patients with HCM when ICD re-implantation is considered.

    Abstract Introduction: One of the crucial aspects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the valve prosthesis selection.
    Aim: To assess the consistency of the aortic valve sizing in SAVR and TAVR by comparing the sizes of aortic prostheses selected based on the intraprocedural annulus measurements and simulation of the TAVR planning.
    Material and methods: The study comprised of 167 patients with aortic stenosis treated with SAVR. Simulation of the prosthesis sizing blinded to the SAVR results was performed based on the assessment of cardiac computed tomography (CCT) images.
    Results: Based on the CCT images, the average value of the aortic annulus diameter was 25.4 ±3.0 mm. Aortic valve calcifications were mild in 29 cases, moderate in 78 cases, and severe in 53 cases. The sizes of the valves recommended by the simulations were larger than valves surgically implanted in 98.6% of patients for self-expanding and in 91.7% of patients for balloon-expandable prostheses. The average difference for self-expanding prostheses was 6.4 mm and 4.5 mm for balloon expandable valves. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed for the difference in prosthesis size and size of the valve used by surgeons.
    Conclusions: There is a systematic difference between sizes of aortic prostheses used in SAVR and TAVR. Further studies are needed to evaluate if the difference in prosthesis size selection contributes to the frequency of prosthesis-patient mismatch phenomenon and burden of high postoperative mean transaortic gradient.

    Abstract The number of patients with coronary artery disease and ischaemic heart failure - and those with terminal heart failure - is increasing despite improvements in medical and interventional therapies of ischaemic heart disease - and, over the next decades, it is projected to continue to increase further. Observer-independent, reproducible imaging techniques play a fundamental role in objective evaluation of both conventional (such as surgical or percutaneous) myocardial revascularization and novel therapeutic approaches to reduce myocardial ischaemia, improve contractility and prevent adverse myocardial remodelling. To be applicable to clinical practice, the clinical study design and data should best be rooted in everyday clinical practice. Accurate and reproducible assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes, myocardial perfusion and function is one of the most important objectives of cardiac imaging. Current techniques used both in clinical studies and in everyday clinical practice include 2- and 3-dimensional echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography; each of these has its strengths and limitations. We review present evidence on the role of single-photon emission computed tomography as a technique that may offer, through being observer-independent, the most objective evaluation of evolution of left ventricular perfusion, volumes and ejection fraction.
