Evaluation of the Health-Related Quality of Life and Mental Health of Parents With Children and Adolescents With a Rare Disease Based on the Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate a Family-Based Intervention and an Online Intervention for Affected Families (CARE-FAM-NET). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Parents caring for children with rare diseases are more impaired regarding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and mental health than healthy controls and norm data. To address the research gap in psychological care for these parents, this study evaluates the effectiveness of two family‐based interventions.

Evaluation of skin cancer screening in Germany - a Microsimulation. [PDF]
Summary Background Comprehensive skin cancer screening was introduced in Germany in 2008. It is unclear whether subsequently observed changes in the epidemiology of malignant melanoma (MM), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) are due to the screening. Simulation models are used to compare different screening scenarios with each

The educational game SonoQz improves diagnostic performance in ultrasound assessment of ovarian tumors. [PDF]
The SonoQz mobile application is an educational tool for medical doctors to practice ultrasound assessment, based on still images of ovarian tumors. Fifty‐eight doctors participated in a before‐and‐after study. The specificity in differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors increased from 70% to 89% (p < 0.001), while maintaining a high ...

Fully resolved quiet-Sun magnetic flux tube observed with the Sunrise IMaX instrument
Until today, the small size of magnetic elements in quiet Sun areas has required the application of indirect methods, such as the line-ratio technique or multi-component inversions, to infer their physical properties.

Surface waves in solar granulation observed with {\sc Sunrise}
Solar oscillations are expected to be excited by turbulent flows in the intergranular lanes near the solar surface. Time series recorded by the IMaX instrument aboard the {\sc Sunrise} observatory reveal solar oscillations at high resolution, which allow

Qualitative Insights on Preventive Group Training in LTC Facilities: Key Influencing Factors
ABSTRACT Background The cluster randomised controlled trial OrkA (Orofaciopharyngeal and linguistic‐communicative activation in older age) aims to evaluate the efficacy of a preventive group programme for older adults in long‐term care (LTC) facilities. The programme objective is to support the maintenance of swallowing, speech and communication skills
