Abstract

The requirements for the intensivist in handling medical technology are constantly growing. It appears necessary to acquire technological competences particularly within the fields of medical technology and physics. In the master's degree program 'MasterOnline Physico-Technical Medicine', such technical authority is conveyed. To cope with the intensive vocational situation of the physician, this study course follows the blended-learning concept; that is, it is conceived as an online study course with small portions of intermittent presence phases. Within the first year, technical basic skills such as 'measurement technique', 'informatics', and 'advanced physics' are covered. Subsequently, two of various advanced courses in different fields of medical technology ('technology in intensive care medicine', 'technology in surgery', 'technical cardiology', 'radiology', and other) are selected.

Highlights

  • Autophagy is well known as one of the biogenic responses against various stresses, which possesses the beneficial roles for survival, but little is known about the dynamics and its significance during the septic condition

  • The aim of our study was to observe the effects of TNFα on the model of perfused rat heart

  • community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)-mediated antiinflammatory signals in vagal efferent nerve fibers result in the release of acetylcholine, which interacts with innate immune cells that express the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit α7 (α7nAChR)

Summary

Introduction

Autophagy is well known as one of the biogenic responses against various stresses, which possesses the beneficial roles for survival, but little is known about the dynamics and its significance during the septic condition. Conclusion The assessment of routine biomarkers (bilirubin, white blood cells and hemoglobin) may be a helpful tool in the decisionmaking process at the bedside, for the evaluation of early ICU admission of recoverable patients, as indicators of inflammatory response, organ dysfunction or catabolism level, and their significant predictive value on mortality. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the prognostic value of proadrenomedullin (pADM), measured in all patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock during 1 year. The aim of the study is to evaluate life quality after trauma and to identify the most important needs of the patients, in order to improve the level of care after an ICU stay and to implement a faster and more effective reintegration into the active and productive society. We report the results of the baseline phase of this trial
