Reportageband einer bekannter Schweizer Autorin und Journalistin mit verschiedenen Aufarbeitungen schwerer Morde und Verbrechen. Detailreich und mit persönlicher Note. Der Schwerpunkt der Fälle liegt auf der Schweiz. Rezension (ekz): Die Schweizer Autorin Christine Brand ist hierzulande v.a. als Verfasserin von Kriminalromanen bekannt, sie ist aber auch Journalistin. In diesem Rahmen hat sie zahlreiche Verbrechen v.a. aus dem Schweizer Raum, die sie über Jahre hinweg als Gerichtsreporterin begleitet hat, aufgearbeitet: So schildert sie - selbst tief ergriffen - die unfassbare Missbrauchs- und Mehrfach-Mord-Tat eines bis dato vollkommen unbescholtenen jungen Schweizers. Auch der Fall des deutschen Serien-/Patienten-Mörders Niels Högel nimmt einen breiten Raum ein. Für ihre Texte stützte sich Brand auf eigene Aufzeichnungen sowie öffentlich zugängliche Materialien; sie beleuchtet alle Perspektiven - Opfer, Täter und die umgebende Gesellschaft. - Trotz des lokalen Fokus auf der Schweiz auch für das deutsche Lesepublikum eine interessante und berührende Lektüre. Aufgrund der bekannten Romane der Autorin entsteht ggf. ohnehin eine starke Nachfrage
Objective The aim of the study was to compare two techniques for external ventricular drainage (EVD) placement with respect to their complication rates. Methods A retrospective descriptive study was performed to analyze all patients who had undergone EVD implantation for acute hydrocephalus between January 2010 and December 2013 with a focus on surgical technique and rate of complications. The burr hole technique (BHT) was used in one group and the twist-drill technique (TDT) in the other. Particular attention was paid to malposition, hemorrhage, and catheter-associated infection. Results A total of 350 consecutive patients underwent EVD implantation for acute hydrocephalus: BHT was performed in 201 and TDT in 147 of the patients, whereas in two patients the technique used was unknown. The overall infection rate was 6.3% (n = 22). Fourteen patients (4%) in the BHT group developed an infection compared with eight patients (9.5%) in the TDT group (p = 0.154). In 16 (4.5%) of all cases, postoperative computed tomography revealed catheter-induced hemorrhage.In one case (0.3%), surgery was necessary due to acute subdural hematoma. The difference between both techniques was not statistically significant (p = 0.343). In 44 (12.6%) of all cases, the position of the EVD tip was contralateral; in 36 (10.3%) of all cases, the EVD tip was in the brain parenchyma. The rate of malposition was 11.6% (n = 17) in the TDT group and 9.5% (n = 19) in the BHT group (p = 0.078). Conclusion Neither technique showed significantly different numbers in terms of infection, malposition, and hemorrhagic complications. EVD implantation using the TDT is an adequate method compared with BHT. The advantages of TDT are clear: the duration of surgery is shorter, the size of the wound is smaller, and the surgeon is not confined to the operating room.
Abstract Objective Intraneural perineurioma is a rare tumor entity. It is a benign, very slow growing peripheral nerve sheath tumor that typically occurs in children and young adults. Motor deficits and muscle atrophy are classic presenting symptoms, while sensory deficits are rare at the onset of the disease. Recommended treatment strategies are lacking. We have evaluated the clinical follow-up and our experience with treatment of this rare entity. Methods A total of 30 patients with intraneural perineuriomas were assessed retrospectively. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, diagnostic examinations, therapy strategies, and clinical outcome were analyzed. Descriptive statistical methods were used for evaluation. Results The mean age was 22 years. Eleven women and 19 men were affected. The lesion occurred in the area of the upper extremity in 16 patients and in the area of the lower extremity in 14 patients. The most frequently affected nerve was the sciatic nerve, followed by the radial nerve. All patients showed a motor deficit to some extent. Seventy percent (n = 21) revealed atrophy, 43.3% (n = 13) had sensitive deficits, and 17% (n = 5) suffered of pain. Fascicle biopsies were performed in 26 patients (87%). In four patients (13%), the tumor was completely resected and then reconstructed via nerve grafts. Seventy percent of the patients (n = 21) received a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 5 years postoperatively, in which no progress was shown. Conclusions To diagnose perineurioma, it is essential to take a biopsy of an enlarged, nonfunctional fascicle. Furthermore, a long-distance epineuriotomy to decompress the hypertrophic fascicle is reasonable. To preserve the nerves' residual function, a complete resection is not recommended. Results after grafting are poor. One reason for this might be residual tumor cells along the nerve that cannot be visualized. Malignant transformation is not yet reported and tumor growth is stable for years.
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what future envisioned knowledge systems might need to look like and how we might get there. Findings suggest that envisioned future systems will need to be much more collaborative, open, diverse, egalitarian, and able to work with values and systemic issues. They will also need to go beyond producing knowledge about our world to generating wisdom about how to act within it. To get to envisioned systems we will need to rapidly scale methodological innovations, connect innovators, and creatively accelerate learning about working with intractable challenges. We will also need to create new funding schemes, a global knowledge commons, and challenge deeply held assumptions. To genuinely be a creative force in supporting longevity of human and non-human life on our planet, the shift in knowledge systems will probably need to be at the scale of the enlightenment and speed of the scientific and technological revolution accompanying the second World War. This will require bold and strategic action from governments, scientists, civic society and sustained transformational intent.
