    Abstract In order to inspire and attract young people to Neurology, we must offer high-quality and attractive teaching! To improve neurological education at our Medical School (Technical University of Munich), we converted the main lecture into an e-learning concept using a flipped classroom model. Students had to prepare with a video and a text as well as answering multiple choice questions before each lecture. As a further incentive, students with ≥ 80% right answers in multiple choice questions received a bonus for the final exam. During the lectures, predominantely patient cases were discussed to apply, improve and enhance the previously acquired knowledge. The realignment of the main lecture in Neurology into a flipped classroom model was very successful and was further optimized in the following semesters based on the evaluations obtained for the new concept. Moreover, this enabled us to quickly switch to remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, while still offering lectures of high quality. In addition, this new teaching concept attracts students for Neurology. Furthermore, the exemplary conversion of the Neurology main lecture to a flipped classroom concept also serves as best practice and motivation to adapt other courses in our faculty and far beyond.

    Abstract Fatigue is a highly prevalent and disabling symptom of many disorders and syndromes, resulting from different pathomechanisms. However, whether and how different mechanisms converge and result in similar symptomatology is only partially understood, and transdiagnostic biomarkers that could further the diagnosis and treatment of fatigue are lacking. We, therefore, performed a transdiagnostic systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42022330113) of quantitative resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies in adult patients suffering from pathological fatigue in different disorders. Studies investigating fatigue in healthy participants were excluded. The risk of bias was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Semi-quantitative data synthesis was conducted using modified albatross plots. After searching MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, and EMBASE, 26 studies were included. Cross-sectional studies revealed increased brain activity at theta frequencies and decreased activity at alpha frequencies as potential diagnostic biomarkers. However, the risk of bias was high in many studies and domains. Together, this transdiagnostic systematic review synthesizes evidence on how resting-state M/EEG might serve as a diagnostic biomarker of pathological fatigue. Beyond, this review might help to guide future M/EEG studies on the development of fatigue biomarkers.

    Abstract Background: Bedside teaching is essential to foster core clinical competences in medical education, especially in Neurology. However, bedside skills are declining and new concepts to enhance the effectiveness of bedside teaching are needed, also in view of limited in-person teaching possibilities in the ongoing pandemic situation. If theoretical knowledge is taught prior to in-person sessions this might allow to better focus on practical application aspects during bedside teaching. We thus aimed to answer the question to what extent such an approach can enhance the effectiveness of neurological bedside teaching.
    Methods: In this prospective controlled study, neurological bedside courses following a traditional and a flipped classroom (FC) approach were compared with regards to their effects on theoretical knowledge and practical skills of medical students. Evaluations were obtained from 161 students and their lecturers participating in a neurological bedside teaching course at a German university hospital between October 2020 and July 2021. Students were randomly assigned to course dates. However, the 74 students assigned to course dates from May to July 2021 completed a mandatory online preparation course prior to the bedside teaching. These students served as the interventional group (IG) and the remaining 87 students formed the control group (CG). Ratings of knowledge and skills provided by the students and their lecturers on numerical rating scales served as primary outcome measures. Moreover, the time needed to recapitulate theoretical contents during the in-person teaching session was assessed as a secondary outcome measure. Group comparisons were performed using t-statistics.
    Results: Theoretical knowledge upon entering the course was rated significantly higher in the IG by the students (p < 0.001) and lecturers (p = 0.003). Lecturers also rated the practical skills of students in the IG significantly higher (p < 0.001). Furthermore, significantly less time was needed to recapitulate theoretical contents during the in-person session in the IG (p = 0.03).
    Conclusions: Using a FC approach enhances the effectiveness of in-person neurological bedside teaching. Thus, these concepts are particularly valuable in the ongoing pandemic situation. Moreover, they might allow to reuse e-learning contents developed during the pandemic and to develop future bedside teaching concepts.

    Abstract The impact of offshore oil and gas platforms on the marine ecosystem remains a topic of concern in the North Sea. This study investigated the effect of these platforms on fish abundance using underwater video recordings. By analysing a large database of fish species around a platform, we discovered a consistent increase in fish abundance near the platform. Recordings indicated a positive effect of offshore platforms on fish biodiversity and abundance. Results suggest that platforms may act as artificial reefs. Platforms are likely providing marine habitat and shelter for various fish species. It is possible that the presence of platforms enhances local biodiversity and may support fish communities. This would be in agreement with the variety of species and numbers of fish observed by our underwater cameras. Understanding and promoting the positive influence of offshore platforms on fish abundance may support future marine conservation efforts. Ultimately, this may help guiding the implementation of UN sustainable development practices.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic poses a huge challenge for clinical teaching due to contact restrictions and social distancing. Medical teachers have to balance potential risks and benefits of bedside teaching, especially in course formats intended to foster practical clinical skills. In this context, we aimed to address the question, whether presence-based teaching formats without patient involvement are suitable to teach practical skills.
    Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, presence-based teaching formats with and without patient contact were retrospectively compared regarding their effects on medical students' theoretical knowledge and practical skills, i.e. the performance and clinical interpretation of the neurological exam. To this end, evaluations from 102 students and their lecturers participating in a neurological bedside teaching course at a German university hospital between October 2020 and April 2021 were obtained. Students were initially randomly assigned to course dates. However, 53 students assigned to courses in November and December 2020, were not able to go bedside due to contact restrictions. These students formed the interventional group and the remaining 49 students the control group. The primary outcome measures were students' overall grading of the course (school grades, 1-6) as well as ratings of knowledge and skills provided by the students themselves and their lecturers on a numerical rating scale (0-10). Comparison between groups was performed using frequentist and Bayesian t-statistics.
    Results: The teaching format without patient contact received a significantly poorer overall grade by the students (p = 0.018). However, improvements in the students' self-ratings of knowledge and skills did not differ between the two formats (all p > 0.05, BF
    Conclusions: Teaching formats without patient contact are less well-received by the students. However, they are able to teach practical skills regarding the performance and clinical interpretation of examination techniques. Still, the evaluations obtained might not adequately capture the importance of bedside teaching in preparing future physicians for their practice. Perspectively, hybrid teaching approaches including flipped-classroom concepts hold considerable potential to enhance effectiveness of bedside teaching in the present pandemic situation and in the future.

    Abstract Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between olfactory sulcus (OS) depth and olfactory function considering age and gender and to provide normative data on OS depth in a population with normal olfactory function.
    Materials and methods: OS depth was obtained using T1 magnetic resonance imaging scans. Participants (mean age ± sd = 57 ± 16 years, ranging from 20 to 80 years) were screened for olfactory function using the Sniffin' Sticks Screening 12 test. They were divided into an olfactory dysfunction group (n = 604) and a normosmia group (n = 493). Participants also completed questionnaires measuring depression, anxiety and quality of life.
    Results: The right OS was deeper than the left side in all age groups. On the left side, women had deeper OS compared with men, exhibiting a higher degree of symmetry in left and right OS depth in women. Variance of olfactory function was largely determined by age, OS depth explained only minor portions of this variance. Normative data for minimum OS depth was 7.55 mm on the left and 8.78 mm on the right for participants aged between 18 and 35 years (n = 144), 6.47 mm on the left and 6.99 mm on the right for those aged 36-55 years (n = 120), and 5.28 mm on the left and 6.19 mm on the right for participants older than 55 years (n = 222).
    Conclusion: Considering the limited resolution of the presently used T1 weighted MR scans and the nature of the olfactory screening test, OS depth explained only minor portions of the variance of olfactory function, which was largely determined by age. Age-related normative data of OS depth are presented as a reference for future work.
