tingling to pain perception
09/28/2010 Brain stimulation may relieve chronic pain
in early antiquity People experimented with electrical impulses to pain. Your energy source was then deliver fish surges. After this treatment approach has long been forgotten, as described in the mid-1960s, the two researchers Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall for the first time scientific the operation, which makes the functional neurosurgery now utilized. Various sensory information is transmitted via parallel pathways that interfere with each other. If certain nerve selectively stimulated by electrical impulses, these signals drive out to the switchboard of the spinal cord and brain, other stimuli that are perceived as pain.
At Tübingen University Hospital have been dealt early on with the new possibilities. In the past five years, extensive clinical experience has been gained with the process. Today is the Tübingen Neurosurgery nationwide reference center for neuro-stimulation, patients from all over Germany and from Foreign look here for help.
The results are convincing: "Patients with chronic pain where surgery and medication or physical therapy were not successful, may be of the spinal cord stimulation improvement hope," said Dr. Guilherme Lepski, specialist of the Tübingen University Hospital for neurosurgery.
In a small operation under local anesthesia, an electrode is inserted into the spinal canal. Even during the surgery the surgeon verified the correct position of the electrode by electrical signals that produce the pain of the body affected by a slight tingling sensation. After the operation provides a small, first outside of the body-mounted pulse generator signals. For one week, then the pain-inhibiting effect in the everyday life of the patient is observed. If successful, then the switch will be transplanted under the skin.
"80 percent of all patients are satisfied with the outcome and experience the intensity of pain at least half reduced," said Dr. Guilherme Lepski. For chronic pain-ridden patients, this means a significant improvement in their quality of life. The therapy has - apart from that produced tingling that is not perceived as unpleasant by the patients - virtually no side effects. In any event, no undesirable: In patients with vascular constriction, the electrical impulses even lead to an expansion of blood vessels.
is in question * this new therapy, the cost is taken when indicated by the health insurance, for a variety of chronic pain patients. Successfully treated patients were already after back surgery, had been left behind despite Eliminated in which compression of the nerve root pain in the back or legs. Even with circulation problems in the feet or hands, as with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) or inflammatory diseases, the method has proved, as in chronic angina pectoris, the complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and many forms of neuralgia.
* Patients with chronic (at least six months any) pain, tel 0 70 71 / 29-8 66 79 29-8 64 49 or an appointment in the outpatient department of neurosurgery at the University Hospital agreed. The condition is that before conservative and medical therapy attempts have been made and psychological or psychosomatic disorders were excluded as the cause of the pain doctor.

about eczema and career choices of young scientists
09/07/2010 A small child who suffers at night scratching himself bloody, possibly in an atopic dermatitis. The extreme itching is typical of these, also known as atopic skin disease. The disease often occurs during infancy on - and is currently in the developed on the rise. The skin of neurodermatitis is very sensitive and reacts strongly to external stimuli. A team at the LMU researchers Dr. Astrid Peters and Professor Katja Radon accompanied now almost 4000 subjects from childhood to adulthood and asked about atopic diseases and possible environmental and occupational exposure.
"We have the basis of data prediction models developed for puberty, because this phase in the disease process is often important," says radon. "It was found that the most important risk factor for juvenile dermatitis sufferers of occupational contact with certain substances, such as bakers flour or disinfectant. This Results provide the allergist a tool to better advise the patient to hand - especially in terms of career choice "(Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology online, 7 September 2010)
A neurodermatitis is stressful -. For the young patients as also for their parents. Because of the extreme itching often leads to the fact that the children scratching himself bloody, while the inflamed skin may become infected. Atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis is how the medical is assigned to the allergic diseases. The disorder probably results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. For example, tobacco smoke and house dust as risk factors detected, while siblings or other contact with other children a positive impact. Atopic dermatitis is in developed countries on the rise and concerns by some estimates up to 20 percent of European children.
occurs frequently Kopp already in young children, may disappear in later years but also of their own accord. A critical stage in the disease process is often at puberty. Some stakeholders heal spontaneously during this period, whereas at the other to a significant deterioration. "It is known that occupational factors play a role," says radon. "But there was no possibility of the progression of the disease in later years to predict with a certain probability. We have, therefore, the data from existing studies on asthma and allergies used to track the progress of atopic dermatitis during puberty, to identify possible risk factors. - And to model the individual development "
The data of 4000 subjects included in The investigation, which was sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. This allowed the natural course of atopic dermatitis at the age of 9-11 and 16-20 years are determined. Furthermore, relevant risk factors in terms of the occurrence, recurrence or the existence of the disease during adolescence assessed. About seven percent of participants developed atopic dermatitis only in their youth. Girls had a higher risk of developing in the teenage years, while among the children are increasingly affected boys. As expected, a pre-existing atopic dermatitis was found in close relatives as a strong risk factor.
"was also important for us, but that risk factors lose in infant and childhood in general significantly to influence," says Peters. "This includes, among other things, that a child was not breast fed, has no siblings, and attended a kindergarten. In adolescence seems only the occupational contact to be particularly important to irritating substances. "Among the high-risk jobs are counted work in the bakery, as a cleaner or in nursing. "The effect of exposure in such occupations, even negative, if it is temporary or for a short time," said Peters. "Should consider Allergists these results when considering neurodermatitis or according to vulnerable young people in their career choice." (Suwe)

The "House of Little Scientists" writes an impressive success story. More than 12,500 child care centers have formed since 2007 in 165 regional networks to awaken early in children's interest in scientific phenomena and technology. Therefore, the BMBF is funding the project from next year with an additional two million euros.
The "House of Little Scientists" inspires kids to science and technology. It makes an outstanding contribution to early childhood education. So it can grow further, the BMBF supports the nationwide expansion of the initiative.
objective of the "House of Little Scientists" is the daily encounter with nature and technology permanently anchored in all kindergartens in Germany. In a practical approach supports the "House of Little Scientists" educators in their work, with contributions from one's parents. The aim is to provide children with basic experiments in science and technology and introduce them to get into it. So shall in children awakened as early as possible the interests and talents should be encouraged. In this way the "House of Little Scientists" contribute to strengthening early childhood education and the long-term employee retention in the natural sciences and engineering.
to achieve this qualification, the "House of Little Scientists" nationwide workshops educators in the field of child-oriented teaching of natural sciences, provides easy-to-use teaching materials and organizes a national week of action on science in early childhood.
The "House of Little Scientists" directed their educational work of the following principles.
first Children and teachers together make the learning process (co-construction) work
• teachers with the children ideas and approaches.
• Children learn from each other and exchange.
• The experimentation is not confined to the "Imitation" of experiments.
second Children realize that they learn what they learn and how they learn (meta-cognition)
• educators and focus on children not only content and activities but also the learning process itself.
• The phenomena stem from the child's living environment and are embedded in complex relationships.
• The documentation of the activities supported the learning process of children.
The BMBF is funding the project is currently at 3.8 million euros in the period 2008 to 2010.

What actually is an original?
The available trial before the Hamburg District Court, the attorney of Ruthard Stachowske has presented two further submissions. Which were handed to the judge and our lawyer. One of the submissions contained a copy of a handover protocol. The original was the attorney of Stachowske present. Heike Lemet played at once, to have signed this protocol ever.
So they called after the negotiations insight into the original. For this purpose, it proposed a meeting in which Stachowske attorney would have the original in their book. To this request, the lawyer responded by sending another copy of this transfer protocol. For this he calculated eleven euro.
