Graduates must be able to agilely apply excellent theoretical knowledge in their subject matter as well as essential practical "hands-on" knowledge of diverse working processes to solve complex problems. To meet these demands, university education follows the concept of Constructive Alignment and thus increasingly adopts the teaching of necessary practical skills to the actual industry requirements and assessment routines. However, a systematic approach to coherently align these three central teaching demands is strangely absent from current university curricula. We demonstrate the feasibility of implementing practical assessments in a regular theory-based examination, thus defining the term "blended assessment". We assessed a course for natural science and engineering students pursuing a career in biomedical engineering, and evaluated the benefit of blended assessment exams for students and lecturers. Our controlled study assessed the physiological background of electrocardiograms (ECGs), the practical measurement of ECG curves, and their interpretation of basic pathologic alterations. To study on long time effects, students have been assessed on the topic twice with a time lag of 6 months. Our findings suggest a significant improvement in student gain with respect to practical skills and theoretical knowledge. The results of the reassessments support these outcomes. From the lecturers' point of view, blended assessment complements practical training courses while keeping organizational effort manageable. We consider blended assessment a viable tool for providing an improved student gain, industry-ready education format that should be evaluated and established further to prepare university graduates optimally for their future careers.}, language = {en} } @article{HacklNacovKammerlohretal.2021, author = {Hackl, Michael and Nacov, Julia and Kammerlohr, Sandra and Staat, Manfred and Buess, Eduard and Leschinger, Tim and M{\"u}ller, Lars P. and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {Intratendinous Strain Variations of the Supraspinatus Tendon Depending on Repair Technique: A Biomechanical Analysis Regarding the Cause of Medial Cuff Failure}, series = {The American Journal of Sports Medicine}, volume = {49}, journal = {The American Journal of Sports Medicine}, number = {7}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {London}, issn = {1552-3365}, doi = {10.1177/03635465211006138}, pages = {1847 -- 1853}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{HeinkeKnickerAlbracht2021, author = {Heinke, Lars N. and Knicker, Axel J. and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Test-retest reliability of the internal shoulder rotator muscles' stretch reflex in healthy men}, series = {Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology}, volume = {62}, journal = {Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology}, number = {Article 102611}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1050-6411}, doi = {10.1016/j.jelekin.2021.102611}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Until now the reproducibility of the short latency stretch reflex of the internal rotator muscles of the glenohumeral joint has not been identified. Twenty-three healthy male participants performed three sets of external shoulder rotation stretches with various pre-activation levels on two different dates of measurement to assess test-retest reliability. All stretches were applied with a dynamometer acceleration of 104°/s2 and a velocity of 150°/s. Electromyographical response was measured via surface EMG. Reflex latencies showed a pre-activation effect (ƞ2 = 0,355). ICC ranged from 0,735 to 0,909 indicating an overall "good" relative reliability. SRD 95\% lay between ±7,0 to ±12,3 ms.. The reflex gain showed overall poor test-retest reproducibility. The chosen methodological approach presented a suitable test protocol for shoulder muscles stretch reflex latency evaluation. A proof-of-concept study to validate the presented methodical approach in shoulder involvement including subjects with clinically relevant conditions is recommended.}, language = {en} } @article{HugenrothBorchardtRitteretal.2021, author = {Hugenroth, Kristin and Borchardt, Ralf and Ritter, Philine and Groß‑Hardt, Sascha and Meyns, Bart and Verbelen, Tom and Steinseifer, Ulrich and Kaufmann, Tim A.

We report on an aortic cannula prototype design (optiCAN) with helical outflow and jet-splitting dispersion tip that could reduce the risk of embolic events and restores cerebral perfusion to 97.5\% of physiological flow during CPB in vivo, whereas a commercial curved-tip cannula yields 74.6\%. In further in vitro comparison, pressure loss and hemolysis parameters of optiCAN remain unaffected. Results are reproducibly confirmed in silico for an exemplary human aortic anatomy via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Based on CFD simulations, we firstly show that optiCAN design improves aortic root washout, which reduces the risk of thromboembolism. Secondly, we identify regions of the aortic intima with increased risk of plaque release by correlating areas of enhanced plaque growth and high wall shear stresses (WSS). From this we propose another easy-to-manufacture cannula design (opti2CAN) that decreases areas burdened by high WSS, while preserving physiological cerebral flow and favorable hemodynamics. With this novel cannula design, we propose a cannulation option to reduce neurological complications and the prevalence of stroke in high-risk patients after CPB.}, language = {en} } @article{HugenrothNeidlinEngelmannetal.2021, author = {Hugenroth, Kristin and Neidlin, Michael and Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Kaufmann, Tim A.

In this work, Ta₂O₅-gate field-effect capacitive sensors have been applied for the label-free electrical detection of TMV adsorption. The impact of the TMV concentration on both the sensor signal and the density of TMV particles adsorbed onto the Ta₂O₅-gate surface has been studied systematically by means of field-effect and scanning electron microscopy methods. In addition, the surface density of TMV particles loaded under different incubation times has been investigated. Finally, the field-effect sensor also demonstrates the label-free detection of penicillinase immobilization as model bioreceptor on TMV particles.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Jung2021, author = {Jung, Alexander}, title = {Electromechanical modelling and simulation of hiPSC-derived cardiac cell cultures}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Duisburg-Essen}, isbn = {978-3-9821811-1-0}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:464-20210624-134942-7}, pages = {III, 135 Seiten}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @misc{JungMuellerStaat2021, author = {Jung, Alexander and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Corrigendum to "Wind and fairness in ski jumping: A computer modelling analysis" [J.
