We report a case of a 60 year-old woman with von Willebrand disease type I that was submitted to a mitral valve repair. The patient needed special care due coagulopathy and needed VIII factor (VIIIf) and von Willebrand factor (vWf), before, during and after surgery. There was no complication during or after surgery. Patient is asymptomatic nine months postoperatively. The correction of VIIIf an...

We present the design of an ultrafast monochromator explicitly designed for extreme-ultraviolet FEL sources, in particular the upcoming FLASH II at DESY. The design originates from the variable-line-spaced (VLS) grating monochromator by adding a second grating to compensate for the pulse-front tilt given by the first grating after the diffraction. The covered spectral range is 6-60 nm, the spec...

λ(s)δt = δst and ρ(s)δt = δts−1 for s, t ∈ Γ. The reduced group C∗-algebra C∗ λΓ is the C∗-algebra generated by λ, likewise for C∗ ρΓ; C∗ λΓ = λ(CΓ) ‖ ‖ ⊂ B(`2Γ) and C∗ ρΓ = ρ(CΓ) ‖ ‖ ⊂ B(`2Γ). The group von Neumann algebra LΓ is the von Neumann algebra generated by λ; LΓ = λ(CΓ)′′ = ρ(CΓ)′. We sometime use M instead of LΓ, and L2M instead of `2Γ. We denote by τ the canonical tracial state on L...

Zusammenfassung Es wurden zwei empirische Studien durchgeführt. In der einen Studie konnten Internetnutzer ihr Suchverhalten aus ihrer Sicht in einer Online Umfrage beschreiben. Die Fragen orientieren sich an den Ergebnissen früherer Studien und sind durch neue Fragestellungen bei der Online Suche erweitert worden. In der anderen Studie wurden vier weltweit Datensätze von Suchanfragen generiert...

Die Aussagekraft betrieblicher Daten kann durch die Nutzung von Unternehmensvergleichen wesentlich erhöht werden. An einem Beispiel von Gesundheitsdaten beim Milchrind werden die informationstechnologischen Voraussetzungen zur Umsetzung eines entsprechenden Konzeptes erläutert. Schwerpunkte bilden dabei die Bereitstellung, die Vergleichbarkeit, die Übertragung und die Präsentation der Daten.

Seven new cases of pregnancy combined with von Willebrand's disease have been reported. Altogether the patients had 11 deliveries, and one abortion after 10 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis was based on the determination of the bleeding time, factor VIII coagulant activity (VIII C), factor VIII-related antigen (VIII RAg) and the ristocetin cofactor (VIII RCoF). Two of our 6 parturients showed pr...

Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It is due to deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF) which may be either quantitative or qualitative. There are 3 types of vWD out of which Type III is the rarest but the most severe. We report a 27 years second gravida diagnosed with vWD in her index pregnancy. Though her antenatal period was uneventful, she develop...
