Schaffrath DigitalMedien GmbH Around 250 employees will be impacted by the closure at the end of July Netherlands-based Vion Food Group is planning to close its beef plant in Bad Bramstedt Approximately 250 employees who work at its northernmost German beef slaughterhouse are at risk of losing their jobs although Vion said it will look at the possible transfer of employees to other Vion locations in the country Vion said the reasons for the closure are the declining cattle population in northern Germany the overcapacity of the slaughterhouse market and the general pressure that the German protein market is under partly because of the social trend towards less meat consumption said: “The planned closure is part of the adjustment at our German sites to rebalance supply and demand in the German market “In the face of inflation and price increases societal developments and regulations that the farming and meat industry is currently facing we are taking measures to keep meat production in Germany healthy and to offer farmers future perspectives.” Vion has adjusted capacities at the Bad Bramstedt site to take into account the progressive decline in cattle numbers in northern Germany Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis In a statement it said: “In the interest of its farmers to keep the transport routes for the slaughter cattle short in the future and Vion will explore the offer of the still sufficiently available slaughter capacities in the north in the coming weeks.” During the spring months Vion transferred the deboning operations from the pig slaughterhouse in Landshut in Bavaria South-East Germany to Vilshofen in Bavaria Vion continues to rely on its close strategic partnership with EG Südbayern a German livestock producer association in the south of Germany “The site in Landshut will primarily represent the regional business and the Crailsheim and Vilshofen sites will become central hubs for the pork activities of southern Germany,” said the company Nominations are now open for the prestigious Just Food Excellence Awards - one of the industry's most recognised programmes

always had a nostalgia for that part of Hamburg with the river and that poetic atmosphere,” he said “The first sounds I remember were the ships on the river and my first memory in life was sheer tulle curtains at the windows Otto Lagerfeld moved his family into a more protected part of the country that the move took place because they felt that being so close to the river was too humid who had already lived through a surprising amount of historical upheaval bought a property in the state of Schleswig-Holstein on the outskirts of the town of Bad Bramstedt “I spent my childhood in the country in an isolated house in the middle of a forest.” included a large white country house that had been built around 1900 The drive ended in a cobblestone circle in front of the house It was a three-story structure with a large veranda on the ground floor and a steep pitched roof in red tile surmounted by a central cupola with two large French doors that opened onto a terrace Bissenmoor sat on over twelve hundred acres of pasture and wooded land preferring his suits in light gray fil à fil a woven fabric that Karl never really liked those kind of people did not really spend a lot of time talking with their children,” Karl said of his father in 2008 my mother said: ‘Ask your father—he’s nicer than I am.’ And he would say ‘Do what you want but not in front of your mother with his father said to have spoken nine languages I asked for a French tutor,” Karl recalled “I hated not being able to understand what they were saying which is why they were speaking French.” His mother “Her great passion was reading,” he remembered “She would shut herself in her room to read.” The first tome in his parents’ library that attracted Karl’s attention was Das Nibelungenlied an epic poem from the German Middle Ages The story was one of Richard Wagner’s inspirations for the four operas in his Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Nibelungen The Lagerfelds’ copy featured illustrations by a nineteenth-century German artist with images that were pretty terrifying,” Karl recalled learn how to read.’ And that is how I learned.” His mother went on to encourage young Karl to read Johann Wolfgang von Goethe the great eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literary figure “My mother was fascinated by Goethe and literally forced me to read his entire works,” Karl explained She focused Karl on the complete edition of his works forty volumes published by Johann Friedrich Cotta in 1832 There were some elements of Goethe that Karl found tedious moving between the disciplines of literature There was an expansiveness about Goethe’s intellectual life an ambition that inspired Karl from an early age There were other significant literary discoveries His mother introduced him to such figures as Gustav Stresemann an industrialist and author who was assassinated in 1922 by the Organisation Consul a nineteenth-century author of stylized novels “He writes about the passions of the Baltic aristocracies in the 1880s,” Karl noted “Ravishing!” He was struck by the spareness of the prose are so evocative with such few words.” But Karl was particularly taken by another historical German figure that he was encouraged to read: Count Harry Graf Kessler (1868–1937) “I have been a huge fan of Harry Kessler since my early youth because of my mother,” Karl later explained Kessler never missed the opening of a major cultural event whether it was the premiere of Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin or Brecht and Weill’s Threepenny Opera who improvised a dance around his sculpture of a crouching nude woman by Aristide Maillol Auden considered Kessler “probably the most cosmopolitan man who ever lived.” Karl was fascinated Kessler was born in Paris and grew up in France He studied law and art history and was an army officer and a diplomat In the decades before and after World War I he was at the center of European intellectual and artistic life Gerhard Steidl often discussed him with Karl “His mother idolized Harry Graf Kessler,” Steidl explained he was a minister in a new German government prior to Hitler and he was interested in Jewish culture.” “Karl cared about Kessler because of the connection between politics that that was Germany: looking to the future And Karl found all of this in the person of Harry Graf Kessler.” Settling in Berlin in the late nineteenth century Kessler was an editor for a literary journal he conceived and wrote the libretto for Der Rosenkavalier the very successful comic opera with music by Richard Strauss Kessler has been best remembered for his journals The English translation of his diaries leading up to the First World War Journey to the Abyss: The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler chronicling his life led at the center of European art and politics during the greatest cultural and political transformations in modern history.” in the introduction to Kessler’s interwar diaries Berlin in Lights: The Diaries of Count Harry Kessler (1918–1937) underscored the poignancy of his observations “The Europe of Kessler’s diary is a lost world encrusted with glittering layers of myth “What infuses Kessler’s descriptions of 1920s Berlin and London with such melancholy beauty is the author’s own awareness that that world was doomed to almost total destruction It was decadent in the most literal sense.” “He had the room painted in a Biedermeier style “It is as if everything that is hidden under the stiff bourgeois façade of dead ‘culture,’ of petty sentimentality The whole thing a mixture of stiff dignity and schoolboy fantasy as if thought up together by a banker and a masturbating boy.” which became legendary in the history of book publishing Inspired by the turn-of-the century Arts & Crafts movement Kessler paid tremendous attention to every detail of the fifty-three books that he published between 1928 and 1932 Karl had a collection of practically every publication of the Cranach-Presse whom Kessler hired to produce engravings for a publication of Virgil’s Eclogues The high point of Kessler’s work as a publisher was a version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet published first in German and then in English is often regarded as the most bold and ambitious example of 20th century book art,” noted the British Library it uses hand-made paper and decorated binding and beautiful typefaces to enhance the dramatic effect of Shakespeare’s play.” Having been fascinated by books from the earliest age conceiving and publishing dozens of books on fashion “And Harry Graf Kessler was a role model as a publisher,” Steidl pointed out Another aspect of his character that was meaningful for Karl: Harry Graf Kessler was homosexual who achieved tremendous success in a variety of creative fields It also has to be said that Count Kessler was quite the dandy even when he joined his workers on the loud that Karl favored in the last decades of his life Karl made sure that he was never far from his writings He bought multiple copies of the complete German editions of the journals “The nine volumes of his diaries are always near my bedside in all of my houses,” Karl explained “Kessler represents for me Germany at its best

to an increased incidence of atlantoaxial instabilities (AAI) Minimally invasive surgical procedures decrease the perioperative risk and regarding the treatment of AAI percutaneous transarticular screw fixation of C1/C2 was more frequently considered in the past This study aims to investigate the outcome of patients treated for AAI by isolated percutaneous transarticular screw fixation of C1/C2 (IPTSFC1/C2) using 3.5 mm fully threaded screws to identify its chances and limitations data from patients who underwent IPTSFC1/C2 were analyzed 23 patients (17 females and 6 males) with an average age of 73.1 years (y) were included Mean VAS decreased significantly from preoperative 3.9 ± 1.8 to the last follow-up 2.6 ± 2.5 (p = 0.020) and neurological functions were preserved we saw a single malposition of an inserted screw (2.27%) and one single bony fusion (4.54%) there was a loosening of the inserted screws due course We demonstrated that the use of 3.5 mm fully threaded screws for IPTSFC1/C2 results in low rates of osseous fusions between C1 and C2 especially for geriatric patients with impaired bone status We also performed isolated percutaneous transarticular screw fixation of C1 and C2 (IPTSFC1/C2) without establishing a spinal fusion by bone grafting in selected cases We hereby aim to present a retrospective study looking at 23 patients who underwent IPTSFC1/C2 to highlight the safety and efficacy of this procedure A total of 23 patients (17 female and 6 male) who were treated at our hospital from 2008 to 2012 using IPTSFC1/C2, were included in this study. The mean age was 73.1 ± 10.9 y at operation and 74.1 ± 10.9 y at the last follow-up. The median follow-up time was 6 months (range 0–52; Q1/Q3 1/12). The clinical data of the patients are stated in Table 1 This figure shows the malpositioning of a screw that occurred in the current study The right-sided screw misses the articular surface of C1 on the medial side No bridging of the joint occurs and the screw does not find a position in the right lateral mass of C1 the screw position appears largely correct we were able to show that IPTSFC1/C2 using 3.5 mm fully threaded screws is not a suitable option if the goal of the treatment is spondylodesis We saw spinal fusion between C1 and C2 in only 1 (14.29%) and implant loosening in 6 out of 7 (85.71%) patients that were followed up by CT scans > 120 d postoperatively an osseous fusion between C1 and C2 cannot be achieved by IPTSFC1/C2 using fully threaded screws which leads to loosening of the implants over time and potentially to a renewed AAI successful achievement of a long-term stabilization of the AAJ depends on the achievement of spinal fusion between C1 and C2 Only temporal limited AAI as osteolytic lesions or fractures with the potential of regaining osseous stability may be suitable for the usage of fully threaded screws in terms of IPTSFC1/C2 it seems essential to use partially threaded screws or surgically establish an apposition of autologous cancellous bone to achieve osseous fusion and achieve long-term stability our data clearly show that usage of fully threaded 3.5 mm screws for IPTSFC1/C2 is not a suitable therapeutic option when long-term stability and spinal fusion between C1 and C2 is the goal of surgical therapy Due to the high mobility of the upper cervical spine fully threaded screws seem to not provide enough rigidity to achieve spinal fusion An efficient interdisciplinary cooperation is required to establish indication for IPTSFC1/C2 and select the appropriate patients for this procedure especially as a small additional incision in the midline to perform an additional fusion does extend the operation only slightly If an isolated percutaneous approach cannot be avoided 3.5 mm fully threaded screws should not be used in IPTSFC1/C2 further research should be conducted on minimally invasive techniques for the safe management of AAI as AAI in multimorbid patients will continue to increase in frequency and clinical relevance in the context of demographic change and a rapidly aging population Some of the patients we cared for were prematurely lost to follow up and CT imaging was not available > 120 d postoperatively in these patients the radiological outcome could only be followed up to a limited extent The relatively small patient collective also represents a limitation of this study it must be said that IPTSFC1/C2 was performed in our hospital only in very selected cases due to the very strict indication and therefore the patient population is correspondingly small IPTSFC1/C2 represents a technically safe technique for the surgical management of AAI we could show that the use of 3.5 mm fully threaded screws for this procedure results in low rates of osseous fusions between C1 and C2 is not suitable for geriatric patients with impaired bone status and a dorsal apposition of autologous cancellous bone between C1 and C2 should be performed to establish spinal fusion 3.5 mm fully threaded screws should not be used All methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations This study and its protocols were approved by the ethics committee of the Hamburg medical association The patient data has been anonymized and therefore according to the Hamburg medical association informed consent was not needed (ethics vote WF-008/21) We hypothesize that usage of fully threaded 3.5 mm titanium screws for IPSFC1/C2 is not suitable for establishing a spinal fusion between C1 and C2 We performed a retrospective analysis of patients’ records and all available radiologic examinations in this regard extensive diagnostics including cross-sectional imaging via computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with visualization of the vertebral arteries is necessary to rule out contraindications such as the presence of a high riding vertebral artery (HRVA) or hyper kyphosis and the patient was positioned in a modified prone position the correct entry point for the skin incision is located with the aid of a K-wire and marked usually at the level of TH 3/4 approximately 3 cm to the midline The drill guide is now advanced thrue the para spinal muscles and is placed on the lateral mass of C2 This is followed by fluoroscopically controlled drilling with constant monitoring for bone contact with the drill When the drilling depth is sufficient according to the x-ray the instrument provides the possibility of measuring the screw length The screw can then be inserted through the guide instrument This figure shows a typical example of a correct material position after isolated percutaneous transarticular screw fixation of C1 and C2 (IPTSFC1/C2) The screws inserted bridge the atlantoaxial joints on both sides and pass thrue the lateral mass of C1 and C2 on both sides The screws do not protrude more than 5 mm beyond the anterior arch of C1 the position of the screw is considered to be correct the software SigmaPlot 13 of Systat Software Inc.
