Bowel cleansing quality evaluation in colon capsule endoscopy : what is the reference standard?

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) depends on a well-cleansed bowel. Evaluating the cleansing quality can be difficult with a substantial interobserver variation. Objectives: Our primary aim was to establish a standard of agreement for bowel cleansing in CCE based on evaluations by expert readers. Then, we aimed to investigate the interobserver agreement on bowel

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors for psoriatic arthritis

BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic arthritis affecting people with psoriasis. If untreated, it may lead to disability. Recommended drugs are non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, conventional synthetic disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs), and targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TN

A Psychometric Evaluation of the Body Image Questionnaire Child and Adolescent Version

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) typically develops during adolescence, but there has been little research evaluating assessment tools for BDD in youth. This study sought to provide a comprehensive psychometric evaluation of a brief self-report questionnaire of BDD symptoms, the Body Image Questionnaire Child and Adolescent version (BIQ-C), in both clinical and non-clinical adolescent samples. Prope

Poetics of Power : 15 November, 2024 - 25 May, 2025

Group exhibition.Participated with the work: 'Two Minutes To Midnight' The exhibition Poetics of Power aims to reveal certain power manifestations hidden in symbols, gestures and existing unquestioned relations or systems. It asserts the intricate and ambiguous nature of power, omnipresent in shaping interpersonal, cultural, national, and economic dynamics. The exhibition explores the poetic natur

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors for juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a rheumatic disorder that causes chronic joint inflammation beginning before the age of 16 years. Pharmacological treatment necessary to prevent joint destruction and functional impairment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intra-articular corticosteroids, conventional synthetic (cs) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DM

Pain Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease and Their Association with Motor and Non-Motor Fluctuations

Background: Pain fluctuations are a characteristic phenomenon in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), but their temporal association with motor and non-motor symptom (NMS) fluctuations remains largely enigmatic. Moreover, data on their importance for disease severity perception and health-related quality-of-life (hr-QoL) is limited. Objective: To dissect pain fluctuations with respect to pain type a

Computational methods for the analysis of clinical proteomics data - Deciphering the hidden biology of infectious disease

Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. Severe infections can manifest in many ways, creating a heterogeneous clinical and molecular disease landscape that renders these diseases difficult to research, diagnose, and treat. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease, we apply mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze blood plasma samples f

Mode I cohesive law of birch wood-biobased adhesive systems

The development and assessment of bio-based wood adhesives face challenges due to the limitations of conventional test procedures, particularly in predicting adhesive performance in real-world applications. This study investigated the mode I cohesive law of two birch wood-biobased adhesive systems, comparing them with conventional fossil-fuel-based systems. The experimental approach, developed dur

Radio Channel Characterization for Distributed MIMO

Future wireless systems are envisioned to be able to deliver ultra-reliable and low-latency communication.The third generation partner project (3GPP) has identified three different usage scenarios such as enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communication, and ultra-reliable low latency communication.In each of those scenarios, several services and applications can be implemented, e.g.

The Orangerie : 24.9.2024 - 30.9.2025

Group exhibition. Participated with the work Trembling Time (2001).The Orangerie presents a collection of video works that fuse documentary and fiction in an attempt to observe and understand complex entanglements. Emerging from sedimented political and social environments, the artists explore various image-making tools to break through the seen world. Appearing along a circular path in Grüneburgp

A Pretending Faith : Why Religious Non-Doxasticism Requires Imagination and Local Fictionalism

Proponents of non-doxasticism often stress the similarity between non-doxastic and doxastic faith. I argue that there are crucial differences which are easily overlooked. These differences become apparent once we pay attention to the inner side of the religious life a non-doxastic faith enables. The non-doxasticist must make extensive use of imagination and pretence to be able to include some comm

Boundary‑Work in Doctoral Examination Committees

The doctorate serves as the cornerstone for academic careers but has also gained importance in other societal sectors. Therefore, the gate-keeping function executed by examination committees is pivotal for the future of academia, as well as the development of the knowledge society. In a recently published study, we have delved into how the assessment practices of examination committees can be unde

Summer of the Arts : 19 July 2024 – 26 January 2025

The interdisciplinary cooperation project »Summer of the Arts« showed works by the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 recipients of the Villa Massimo’s German Rome Prize in eight institutions in Stuttgart. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presented the art created by Yael Bartana, Manaf Halbouni, and Bjørn Melhus during their stays in Rome in dialogue with works from the Staatsgalerie collection.

Incidence of hip problems in developmental central hypotonia : A scoping review

Aim: To describe what is known about hip problems in individuals with developmental central hypotonia. Method: Searches were conducted in five databases to October 2023. Down syndrome was excluded from this analysis of less well-known genetic diagnoses. At least two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, read full-text articles, and extracted data. Results: Of 89 full-text articles, 7

The Destructive Effects of Inequality : Mary Wollstonecraft and Strong Republican Egalitarianism

The first aim of this chapter is to argue that Mary Wollstonecraft’s approach to inequalities of property and wealth is a form of “non-intrinsic egalitarianism”. The second aim is to nudge republican political theory in our own time towards accepting this approach as part of what freedom requires. Republican theory is not fit for purpose in our contemporary world unless it acknowledges economic in
