The study employed high quality non-mydriatic (i.e. pupil dilation is not required) fundus photography (FP) (Oculus Nidek AFC-230, 45 FOV) and a infra-red reflectance (IR) en face image obtained by scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) (Heidelberg Spectralis, 30 FOV) to produce representative images of the retina and optic nerve. In order to prove the scale invariance property of tortuosity metrics, ophthalmological photographs from 18 subjects, both eyes, were randomly extracted from the ...

As an interdisciplinary network of scientists, the SepNet study group deals with the topics of severe sepsis and septic shock. The aim of the network is to create the prerequisites for better clinical and experimental research into sepsis and thus to develop efficient treatment approaches.

Background Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) has been widely applied to dissect cellular heterogeneity in normal and diseased skin. Sebaceous glands, essential skin components with established functions in maintaining skin integrity and emerging roles in systemic energy metabolism, have been largely neglected in scRNAseq studies. Methods Departing from mouse and human skin scRNAseq datasets, we identified gene sets expressed especially in sebaceous glands with the open-source R-package oposSOM. ...

Medical data routinely generated in everyday clinical practice is processed and made available to medical research in a standardized form. Patients benefit from reliable research results, more precise diagnoses and better treatments. In order to link data from care and research, the participating university hospitals in Aachen, Bonn, Essen, Halle, Hamburg, Jena and Leipzig have established sustainable Data Integration Centers. The network partners Ruhr University Bochum, the Düsseldorf University ...
