In December, 2019, the newly identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, causing COVID-19, a disease presenting with fever, cough, and often pneumonia. WHO has set strategic objective to interrupt spread of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. An outbreak Bavaria, Germany, starting at end January, 2020, provided opportunity study transmission events, incubation period, secondary attack rates.
For the emerging IEEE 1901.2 standard on Narrow-Band Power Line Communications there are two proposals regarding Physical and Medium Access Control Layer-PLC G3 PRIME. In this paper, Layers of both drafts compared to each other, by theoretical analysis as well simulation results.
Quantitative assessment of ventricular volumes and mass in pediatric patients with single-ventricle physiology would aid clinical management, but it is difficult to obtain 2-dimensional echocardiography. The purpose the present study was compare matrix-array 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) measurements volumes, mass, ejection fraction those measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) young patients.Twenty-nine (median age, 7 months) a functional single ventricle undergoing CMR under...
We report 15 imported louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) cases in refugees Bavaria, Germany. One patient died. Epidemiological findings confirmed that all were young males from the Horn of Africa (12 Somalia), who had similar migration routes converging Sudan continuing through Libya and Italy. The majority likely acquired their infection during migration. Healthcare workers should be aware LBRF passing north to ensure correct treatment preventive measures.
Peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) reduction in OFDM using antenna arrays (MIMO OFDM) is considered. In particular, generalizations of selected mapping (SLM) recently proposed literature, are studied, and a new version, we call it <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">directed</i> xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">SLM</i> ( xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dSLM</i> ), introduced.

Abstract We investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections in primary schools, kindergartens, and nurseries Germany. Of 3,169 oropharyngeal swab specimens, only were positive by real-time reverse transcription PCR. Asymptomatic children attending these institutions do not appear to be driving the pandemic when appropriate infection control measures are used.
Background: In December 2019, a newly identified coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, causing respiratory disease (COVID-19) presenting with fever, cough and frequently pneumonia. WHO has set the strategic objective to interrupt virus spread of SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. An outbreak Bavaria, Germany, starting end January 2020, gave opportunity study transmission events, incubation period, attack rates.Methods: A case was defined as person SARS-CoV-2-infection confirmed by PCR. Case...
Peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) reduction in OFDM using antenna arrays (MIMO OFDM) is considered. In particular, a generalisation of selected mapping (SLM), called directed SLM (dSLM), introduced. It shown that, contrast to schemes proposed the literature, dSLM utilises potential offered by MIMO transmission. As result, complementary distribution function PAR exhibits steeper decay, increased factor equal number transmit antennas. This effect similar diversity gain error performance when
Background and aim As a consequence of socioeconomic political crises in many parts the world, European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries have faced an increasing number migrants. In German federal state Bavaria, mandatory health screening approach is implemented, where individuals applying for asylum to undergo medical examination that includes serological testing HIV hepatitis B, tuberculosis, until September 2015, stool Salmonella spp. Shigella spp.. Methods : Data from all...
<b>Hintergrund |</b> Rückfallfieber wird in Läuserückfallfieber (louse-borne-relapsing-fever = LBRF) und Zeckenrückfallfieber (tick-borne-relapsing-fever TBRF) unterteilt. Es über 25 Flüchtlinge aus Ost-Afrika mit LBRF berichtet, die an unserem Krankenhaus diagnostiziert behandelt worden sind. <b>Patienten Methode Gemeinsame klinische Aspekte, Laborbefunde der Verlauf vor nach Behandlungsbeginn wurden bei Patienten analysiert, von August 2015 bis Januar 2016 im Klinikum München Schwabing...
Representative, actively collected surveillance data on asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in primary schoolchildren remain scarce. We evaluated the feasibility of a saliva mass screening concept and assessed infectious activity schools. During 10-week period from 3 March to 21 May 2021, staff 17 schools Munich participated sentinel surveillance, cohort study. Participants were tested using Salivette
Abstract A 12-week sentinel programme monitored SARS-CoV-2 in primary schools, kindergartens and nurseries. Out of 3169 oropharyngeal swabs, only two tested positive on rRT-PCR while general incidence rates were surging. Thus, children attending respective institutions are not significantly contributing to the pandemic spread when appropriate infection control measures place.
A consortium of several companies is currently working on the so called PRIME Project, a system for communication in powerline grid. The new technology intends to use CENELEC band, where some systems are already operating. As OFDM specified as transmission method PRIME, existing devices using might be adapted easily interoperate with PRIME. Here, brief ldquohow-tordquo presented and problems concerning interoperability addressed. At last, we state compatibility iAd's DLC-2B <sup...
In congenital heart disease, the exact determination of right ventricular function is high importance for therapeutic and especially surgical planning. The aim this study was to correlate parameters in MRI 3D echocardiography determine agreement both modalities.In 18 patients suffering from performed using a Philips Sonos 7500 system. short axis slices with 4-mm distance were acquired an SSFP sequence on Siemens Sonata or Symphony System.

Abstract The Bavarian Influenza Sentinel (BIS) monitors the annual influenza season by combining virological and epidemiological data. 2019/2020 overlapped with beginning COVID-19 pandemic thus allowing to investigate whether there was an unnoticed spread of SARS-CoV-2 among outpatients acute respiratory infections in community prior first cluster Bavaria. Therefore, we retrospectively analysed oropharyngeal swabs obtained BIS between calendar week (CW) 39 2019 CW 14 2020 for presence RNA...
Abstract Children have been disproportionately affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to assess a saliva-based algorithm for SARS-CoV-2 testing be used in schools and childcare institutions under pandemic conditions. A weekly sentinel study primary schools, kindergartens facilities was conducted over 12-week-period. In sub-study covering 7 weeks, 1895 paired oropharyngeal saliva samples were processed rRT-PCR both asymptomatic children (n=1243) staff (n=652). Forty-nine additional...

Hintergrund: Die ursprünglich aus Südostasien stammende Asiatische Tigermücke (Aedes albopictus) findet in Europa zunehmend geeignete klimatische Bedingungen sich anzusiedeln. In Deutschland wurde sie 2007 erstmals registriert. Sie ist der Lage Erreger wie das Dengue-, Chikungunya oder Zika-Virus zu übertragen. Nachbarstaaten Frankreich und Italien kommt es aufgrund höherer Temperaturen bereits zur Übertragung autochthoner Dengue-Virus-Infektionen. Um dieser potenziellen Gesundheitsgefahr...
Das Infektionsgeschehen der gegenwärtigen Ebola-Epidemie spielt sich fast ausschließlich in Westafrika ab. Übertragungen außerhalb Westafrikas waren bisher verschwindend gering, ebenso nicht geplant importierte Fälle. In Bayern werden Ebola-Verdachtsfälle an das LGL gemeldet und dort Hand standardisierter Kriterien weiter abgeklärt. Wir berichten über die am im Zeitraum von September 2014 bis März 2015 abgeklärten Verdachtsfälle. Ob bei einem gemeldeten Verdachtsfall ein begründeter...
An extension to standard digital finite input response low-pass filters is proposed, allowing full suppression of noise peaks at the expense gradually decreasing broadband noise-suppression performance. Each sample associated with a confidence value, where zero-confidence samples must not contribute filter output. Sample assumed be known by other means, e.g., peak-noise detector. Filter coefficients are dynamically adapted, depending on values in buffer, turning into selective arithmetic...
