Policy Purchasing & Sales Conditions As part of a technology partnership between the two organizations Siemens Healthineers and the Herz- und Diabeteszentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen (Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia HDZ NRW) in Bad Oeynhausen have developed their first innovative care service for patients with cardiovascular diseases known as “HerzConnect,” is aimed at health insurance companies that want to offer improved treatment for policyholders with chronic heart failure The objective is to ensure patients are treated in accordance with the guidelines and to provide in-depth remote care to significantly slow the progress of the disease enable patients to manage their own disease through a process of education and make a perceptible improvement to their quality of life One crucial element involves preventing decompensated heart failure an aggravation in which an accumulation of water in the lungs and other body parts leads to repeated hospitalization Siemens Healthineers will be responsible for the entire technical component of this telemedicine solution This includes elements such as the mobile measuring devices HDZ NRW is responsible for providing patients with medical care and advice The mobile app and the care software at HDZ NRW were developed for this project by Siemens Healthineers in partnership with HDZ NRW The mobile measuring devices supplied by Siemens Healthineers and certified as medical products record selected vital signs and other patient parameters around the clock and transmit this data via a Smartphone app and a secure data connection to the Institute for Applied Telemedicine (IFAT) at HDZ NRW the data is analyzed both automatically and by specialists using specially developed algorithms so that treatment can then be systematically optimized to suit each individual patient intuitive feedback to the patient in question needs-based contact from the medical specialists at HDZ NRW who have undergone dedicated training in the clinical patterns of heart failure take down additional information relevant to the patients’ treatment in a series of regular and guide them toward health-promoting lifestyles that will help them deal with their chronic heart disease Communicating knowledge on heart failure and setting individual goals for the course of treatment are intended to increase patient responsibility and improve their individual treatment outcomes Continuous monitoring and the telemedicine care program will enable faster response times if unusual parameters are detected in addition to providing care in accordance with guidelines and ensuring improved adherence to treatment all of which will ultimately result in better quality of life for the patients Reducing the number of unplanned readmissions will cover the costs of telemedicine care using HerzConnect The first health insurance company to adopt this program is DAK Gesundheit in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony which will roll it out for its policyholders starting summer 2019 Heiko JahrSiemens Healthcare GmbHHenkestr. 12791052 ErlangenGermany+49 162 2568150heiko.jahr@siemens-healthineers.com Anna ReißHerz- und

left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation compared with medical therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure research presented in at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress has found (25–28 August The CASTLE-HTx trial tested whether AF ablation is superior to medical therapy concerning mortality and need for urgent transplantation or LVAD implantation The trial was conducted at the Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) in Bad Oeynhausen The trial enrolled patients with symptomatic AF and end-stage heart failure who were eligible for heart transplantation according to criteria from the ESC and the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or below and were fitted with a cardiac device for continuous monitoring Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either first-time catheter ablation or medical therapy for AF (rate or rhythm control) Both groups received guideline-directed heart failure therapy The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality worsening heart failure requiring urgent heart transplantation The average age of participants was 64 years and 19% were women The study was stopped for efficacy by the Data Safety Monitoring Board one year after randomisation was completed The primary endpoint occurred in 8 (8.2%) patients in the ablation group and 29 (29.9%) patients in the medical therapy group for a hazard ratio of 0.24 (95% confidence interval 0.11 to 0.52; p<0.001) Principal investigator Christian Sohns (Heart and Diabetes Center NRW said: “Comparing AF ablation with medical therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure ablation was associated with lower rates of death urgent heart transplantation or LVAD implantation along with a reduction in atrial fibrillation burden and improved LVEF listing for transplantation should not be postponed given the long waiting times and high waitlist mortality.” and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1"

to newly published research based on the first comprehensive single-cell analysis of cardiac cells from healthy and failing hearts. The work, reported in the journal “Science” was conducted by 53 scientists from six countries in North America The study shows that cell type compositions and gene activation profiles change according to the genetic variants The investigators say the findings can inform the design of targeted therapies that take into account each patient’s underlying gene defect responsible for their particular form of cardiomyopathy.  Examining the genes activated in about 880,000 single cells from 61 failing hearts and 18 healthy donor hearts as reference was a complex endeavor which required an interdisciplinary team The organs were procured by the Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in Boston the Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia in Bad Oeynhausen Ruhr University Bochum in Germany and Imperial College London Senior authors who spearheaded the project are Christine Seidman professor of medicine and genetics at Harvard Medical School and a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Jonathan Seidman professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School; Norbert Hübner professor of cardiovascular and metabolic sciences at the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin as well as Dr Michela Noseda of the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London The scientists focused on dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) the most common form of heart failure that leads to heart transplantations It involves an expansion (dilation) of walls of the heart chamber compromising its ability to contract and pump blood The consortium studied tissues from patients with different genetic mutations that commonly lead to cardiomyopathies These mutations occurred in proteins with different functions in the heart and the analyses indicate that these triggered different responses “We investigated pathogenic gene variants in heart tissue at the single-cell level which allowed us to map precisely how specific pathogenic variants drive cardiac dysfunction,” says co-senior author Norbert Hübner this is the first such analysis conducted in cardiac tissue and we hope this approach can be used to study other types of genetic heart diseases.”  which is aiming to map every cell type in the human body as a basis for both understanding human health and for diagnosing “Only this level of resolution allows us to see that cardiomyopathies do not uniformly trigger the same pathological pathways,” says co-senior author Christine Seidman different mutations evoked specific and some shared responses that lead to heart failure These genotype-specific responses point to therapeutic opportunities that may inform the development of precision-targeted interventions,” Seidman says But the existing cells become more active and produce more extracellular matrix which fills in the space between the connective tissue cells we discovered that fibrosis – the abnormal growth of connective tissue – observed in DCM is not caused by an increased number of fibroblasts in the heart,” says Matthias Heinig “The number of these cells stays the same which fills in the space between the connective tissue cells,” Eric Lindberg adds rather than overproduction of fibrotic cells the researchers observed only a shift in the proportion cell subtypes marked by an increase in the number of fibroblasts specializing in the production of extracellular matrix.  “The phenomenon was especially pronounced in the hearts of patients with a mutated RBM20 gene,” Henrike Maatz explains This observation was also reflected in the patients’ medical histories patients with this specific mutation suffered heart failure and needed a transplant much earlier than people with other genetic forms of DCM Single-cell sequencing revealed a whole series of such genotype-specific differences in dilated hearts.  The analysis also showed that in the hearts of people with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies (ACM) – those that cause dangerous heart rhythm disturbances – muscle cells are increasingly replaced by fat and connective tissue cells Although this form of cardiomyopathy can also be caused by a mutation in several genes the team focused its analysis on the gene for the protein plakophilin-2 They compared cell signaling pathways from cells obtained from the right and left ventricles The findings identify the cause behind increased cell-fat production in the cardiac muscle of people with this type of cardiomyopathy “The precise molecular signatures obtained for the highly specialized cells of the heart allowed us to predict cell-to-cell communication pathways,” Michela Noseda says The team found that different genetic causes of cardiomyopathies were associated with specific aberrations of the cellular communication networks “This is clear evidence of specified mechanisms driving the disease.”  Finally, the scientists used artificial intelligence to develop a model from all these data Based on the specific patterns of molecular changes in the various cell types the algorithm can predict with high degree of confidence which mutation is present – confirming that differences in gene and cell activation are associated with pathogenic variants of specific genes © Sam Barnett and Antonio Manuel Almeida Miranda / Imperial College London The ultimate goal is to develop individualized therapies for heart disease the researchers said because genotype-specific treatment could be more effective and with fewer side effects The consortium has made all of its results available to the scientific community online Seidman hopes that this resource propels studies by other groups to define new treatments that prevent heart failure “We investigated tissues of patients who needed a heart transplant; it was their last option,” Hendrik Milting says “We hope that future pharmacological treatments will at least slow down the progression of the disease – and that the data from our study will help make this happen.”  the research team has identified its next task “The heart tissue that we studied came from people in the final stage of a disease,” Daniel Reichart “We are excited to see what changes we discover in earlier stages of disease for example based on endomyocardial biopsies.” Perhaps biomarkers and pathways will be found that elucidate a very precise disease pathogenesis truly enabling personalized medicine Source: Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association  Scientists have developed a tool to create a digital replica of an individual's heart which could inform the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases By using genetic data on multiple traits from people of non-European ancestry scientists have improved the accuracy of polygenic scores in predicting disease risk for all A method for delivering genetic material to the body that has proven useful in Covid-19 vaccination is now being tested as a way to repair damaged heart muscle after a heart attack This website uses cookies to give our readers the best website experience.

reasons to have a closer look at the possibilities modern 3D ultrasound offers with regard to the diagnosis of congenital heart defects in children,” says Kai Thorsten Laser who has been using the TOMTEC software package for ventricular volume measurements and was impressed with what he saw “In order to be able to use this technology routinely in children with congenital heart defects such as aortic valvular disease or tetralogy of Fallot we needed to ascertain that ultrasound delivers results in terms of validity precision and reproducibility that are comparable to MRI results.” This entails volume measurements of the right ventricle in 2D sections and the adaptation of the 3D echo results When dealing with highly individual and complex issues such as pediatric heart defects AI-supported automation reaches its limits.” The TOMTEC team responded to the cardiologists’ ideas and tweaked the system to allow viewing the entire data set Now adjustments and precise measurement of the right ventricle can be performed Laser’s Heart Center 3D ultrasound with TOMTEC and reference values has become a standard component in the diagnostic work-up of congenital heart defects this procedure is not being used extensively throughout the country since not many office-based cardiologists have access to the technology Moreover the analysis of the 3D ultrasound exams takes 5 to 10 minutes longer than the conventional 2D procedure Kai Thorsten Laser makes the case for 3D ultrasound: “In an MRI exam we need to sedate the children which is very stressful for the young patients Moreover when looking at the MRI exam and analysis times 3D ultrasound is clearly superior.” A new 3D computer modeling system may significantly improve a surgeon's ability to select the best sized donor heart for children receiving heart transplants echocardiography is the method of choice for preoperative diagnostic purposes,' explains Professor Dr Emanuela Valsangiacomo-Büchel Two successive studies highlight advances in non-invasive 3D ultrasound imaging making it possible to observe blood flow in real time in the heart and the brain Facebook |  seit eineinhalb Jahren lebst Du schon in Peru und arbeitest in der Röntgenabteilung des Hospitals Diospi Suyana MF: Ich kam in Bad Oeynhausen zur Welt als fünftes von neun Kindern Meine Eltern waren drei Jahre zuvor aus Kasachstan nach Deutschland übergesiedelt DS: Du bist eine Mitarbeiterin voller Leidenschaft MF: Ursprünglich liebäugelte ich mit einer Karriere als Krankenschwester Aber als 14-jährige durfte ich im Spital ein Praktikum machen und ich merkte gleich Ein Jahr später bei einer Kanufahrt riet mir eine gewisse Anita Dürksen ich solle doch die Laufbahn einer Röntgenassistentin ins Auge fassen Als ich 2013 meine Ausbildung abgeschlossen hatte fing ich am Herz und Diabeteszentrum in Bad Oeynhausen an zu arbeiten Ich hätte dort mein ganzes Berufsleben verbringen können MF: Irgendwann während meiner Ausbildung habe ich gebetet: „Gott ich möchte drei Jahre für Dich investieren!“ damit ich einen zweiten Urlaub einlegen kann!“ So zu beten erscheint für die meisten Menschen völlig abwegig MF: Jesus bedeutet mir alles und dieses Gebet entsprach einer tiefen Dankbarkeit ihm gegenüber Und das wollte ich zu seiner Ehre einsetzen Zu dem Zeitpunkt war mir aber noch nicht bewusst wie ernst Gott mein Gebet nehmen würde und was es einmal bedeuten würde DS: Wieso hat es dann noch so lange gedauert bis Du Dich bei Diospi Suyana beworben hast MF: Ich habe viel über einen Einsatz in Übersee nachgegrübelt traute ich mir so ein Unternehmen nicht so recht zu 2014 besuchte ich mit einer Reisegruppe soziale Projekte in Äthiopien Während dieser Tour durch eines der ärmsten Länder Afrikas habe ich mich gefragt: „Ist das mein Platz?“ Ein Jahr später im Juli 2015 engagierte ich mich mit einigen jungen Leuten bei den Bauarbeiten eines Kindercamps im Regenwald Boliviens Im Handgepäck hatte ich das Buch „Ich habe Gott gesehen“ mitgenommen!“ Es hat mich gewissermaßen auf ein Gespräch im August des gleichen Jahres vorbereitet Anita Dürksen berichtete mir von einem merkwürdigen Anruf John hätte sie etwa zehn Tage zuvor aus Peru angerufen und sie gefragt ob sie nicht am Hospital Diospi Suyana im Röntgen arbeiten wolle MF: Ihr Bruder Harry Dürksen leistete am Missionsspital einen zweijährigen Einsatz in der Krankenpflege und er hatte dem Leiter von seiner Schwester erzählt DS: Bei diesem John scheint die Hemmschwelle für Telefongespräche recht niedrig zu liegen Anita fühlte sich einerseits durch diesen überraschenden Anruf herausgefordert wenn ich nicht nach Südamerika gehen sollte DS: Deine außergewöhnliche Freundin ist wirklich lustig Gerade hatte ich das Buch über Diospi Suyana gelesen und schon ermuntert mich jemand nach Peru auszuwandern DS: Im Englischen gibt es ein Sprichwort: „Ich war immer ein unentschlossener Mensch aber jetzt bin ich mir dessen nicht mehr so sicher!“ (I used to be indecisive denn natürlich ist so eine Entscheidung schwerwiegend Irgendwann im April 2016 rief mich Anita an… die ständig durch Dein Leben zu schweben scheint ob ich mich zu einer Entscheidung durchgerungen hätte der Doktor John käme zu einem Vortrag nach Espelkamp DS: Und dieser John hat Dich dann wohl sofort angeheuert wie ein Kapitän die Leichtmatrosen in der Hafenkneipe DS: Aber dann hast Du Dich doch durchgerungen Bist Du freiwillig abgesprungen oder hat Dir jemand von hinten einen Schubs verpasst Ich hatte Nachtdienst und total viel zu tun es war kurz vor eins in meinem Dienstzimmer dann gehe ich!“ Aber sofort habe ich auch alle Gründe angeführt MF: Ich hatte noch keine CT-Erfahrung und Spanisch konnte ich auch nicht sprechen Außerdem gab es in meiner Familie einige Dinge dass Du Dich Hals über Kopf in jedes Abenteuer stürzt MF: Nach jenem Gebet auf dem Bett in einem kargen Klinikzimmer ging es dann aber zügig voran Im Oktober 2017 nahm ich am Zehnjahresfest von

Full details can be found in our article on this subject.  Several European countries will enforce HGV restrictions on All Saints' Day with additional restrictions on other public holidays throughout November Here's a detailed list of upcoming festive traffic bans for trucks The Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility (BALM) has announced exemptions for All Saints’ Day in North Rhine-Westphalia where the truck traffic ban is lifted from 00:00 to 06:00 lorries over 7.5 tonnes transporting goods can use the following routes: 21 Mar 2016 • 2m read • View Author Altro-flooring-brings-safety-and-hygiene-to-German-1735039529.png Various products from Altro Safety Flooring were specified for the Gollwitzer-Meier-Klinik in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany to ensure comfort, safety and hygiene for their patients. One of the leading cardiac rehabilitation clinics in Germany, Gollwitzer-Meier-Klinik offers 185 single rooms for hospitalisation and a 30-bed acute care ward. The hospital combines high quality medical care with the assurance of patient comfort by providing single rooms with ensuite bathrooms. As part of the renovation, 18 rooms have now been fitted with new floor and wall coverings with a total of 1,000 square metres installed in the first phase. Altro flooring products were specified for the project based on the company’s reputation as a pioneer and market leader in safety flooring. Altro products provide the high standard of hygiene required for the clinic. Altro Wood was chosen for the patient rooms as the flooring provides a warm and comfortable environment and offers numerous designs in oak, walnut and cherry. It can be welded to provide a hygienic surface, making it ideal for areas where infection control and high standards of cleanliness are required. Altro Aquarius safety flooring was specified for the bathrooms for its ability to provide optimum slip resistance in wet and dry environments. Equally safe for bare feet usage as well as any type of shoe including hard and soft soled, rubber footwear and trainers, Altro Aquarius comes in a choice of 16 vibrant colours. The noise reduction properties of Altro Aquarius additionally make the safety flooring particularly suitable for healthcare facilities for improving patient wellbeing. Altro Whiterock Satins, a durable, grout-free and watertight PVCu wall cladding was also installed at the clinic. Altro Whiterock Satins meets strict hygiene standards providing a stain-resistant, wipe-clean surface. Easy to apply to most flat and dry surfaces, Altro Whiterock Satins is extremely impact resistant.
