The aim of this study is to differentiate date palm tree varieties by analysing leaflet cross sections with technical/optical methods and artificial neural networks (ANN). Results Fluorescence microscopy images of leaflet cross sections have been taken from a set of five date palm tree cultivars (Hewlat al Jouf, Khlas, Nabot Soltan, Shishi, Um Raheem). After features extraction from images, the obtained data have been fed in a multilayer perceptron ANN with backpropagation learning algorithm. Conclusions Overall, an accurate result in prediction and differentiation of date palm tree cultivars was achieved with average prediction in tenfold cross-validation is 89.1\% and reached 100\% in one of the best ANN.}, language = {en} } @article{ArampatzisPeperBierbaumetal.2010, author = {Arampatzis, Adamantios and Peper, Andreas and Bierbaum, Stefanie and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Plasticity of human Achilles tendon mechanical and morphological properties in response to cyclic strain}, series = {Journal of Biomechanics}, volume = {43}, journal = {Journal of Biomechanics}, number = {16}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0021-9290}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiomech.2010.08.014}, pages = {3073 -- 3079}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The purpose of the current study in combination with our previous published data (Arampatzis et al., 2007) was to examine the effects of a controlled modulation of strain magnitude and strain frequency applied to the Achilles tendon on the plasticity of tendon mechanical and morphological properties. Eleven male adults (23.9±2.2 yr) participated in the study. The participants exercised one leg at low magnitude tendon strain (2.97±0.47\%), and the other leg at high tendon strain magnitude (4.72±1.08\%) of similar frequency (0.5 Hz, 1 s loading, 1 s relaxation) and exercise volume (integral of the plantar flexion moment over time) for 14 weeks, 4 days per week, 5 sets per session. The exercise volume was similar to the intervention of our earlier study (0.17 Hz frequency; 3 s loading, 3 s relaxation) allowing a direct comparison of the results. Before and after the intervention ankle joint moment has been measured by a dynamometer, tendon-aponeurosis elongation by ultrasound and cross-sectional area of the Achilles tendon by magnet resonance images (MRI). We found a decrease in strain at a given tendon force, an increase in tendon-aponeurosis stiffness and tendon elastic modulus of the Achilles tendon only in the leg exercised at high strain magnitude. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the Achilles tendon did not show any statistically significant (P>0.05) differences to the pre-exercise values in both legs. The results indicate a superior improvement in tendon properties (stiffness, elastic modulus and CSA) at the low frequency (0.17 Hz) compared to the high strain frequency (0.5 Hz) protocol. These findings provide evidence that the strain magnitude applied to the Achilles tendon should exceed the value, which occurs during habitual activities to trigger adaptational effects and that higher tendon strain duration per contraction leads to superior tendon adaptational responses.}, language = {en} } @article{ArampatzisKaramanidisMademlietal.2009, author = {Arampatzis, Adamantios and Karamanidis, Kiros and Mademli, Lida and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Plasticity of the human tendon to short and long-term mechanical loading}, series = {Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews}, volume = {37}, journal = {Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews}, number = {2}, issn = {1538-3008}, doi = {10.1097/JES.0b013e31819c2e1d}, pages = {66 -- 72}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{ArampatzisKaramanidisAlbracht2007, author = {Arampatzis, Adamantios and Karamanidis, Kiros and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Adaptational responses of the human Achilles tendon by modulation of the applied cyclic strain magnitude}, series = {Journal of Experimental Biology}, volume = {210}, journal = {Journal of Experimental Biology}, number = {15}, issn = {0022-0949}, doi = {10.1242/jeb.003814}, pages = {2743 -- 2753}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @article{AngermannGuenthnerHanssenetal.2022, author = {Angermann, Susanne and G{\"u}nthner, Roman and Hanssen, Henner and Lorenz, Georg and Braunisch, Matthias C. and Steubl, Dominik and Matschkal, Julia and Kemmner, Stephan and Hausinger, Renate and Block, Zenonas and Haller, Bernhard and Heemann, Uwe and Kotliar, Konstantin and Grimmer, Timo and Schmaderer, Christoph}, title = {Cognitive impairment and microvascular function in end-stage renal disease}, series = {International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR)}, volume = {31}, journal = {International Journal of Methods in Psychiatric Research (MPR)}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, issn = {1049-8931 (Print)}, doi = {10.1002/mpr.1909}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Objective Hemodialysis patients show an approximately threefold higher prevalence of cognitive impairment compared to the age-matched general population. Impaired microcirculatory function is one of the assumed causes. Dynamic retinal vessel analysis is a quantitative method for measuring neurovascular coupling and microvascular endothelial function. We hypothesize that cognitive impairment is associated with altered microcirculation of retinal vessels. Methods 152 chronic hemodialysis patients underwent cognitive testing using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Retinal microcirculation was assessed by Dynamic Retinal Vessel Analysis, which carries out an examination recording retinal vessels' reaction to a flicker light stimulus under standardized conditions. Results In unadjusted as well as in adjusted linear regression analyses a significant association between the visuospatial executive function domain score of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the maximum arteriolar dilation as response of retinal arterioles to the flicker light stimulation was obtained. Conclusion This is the first study determining retinal microvascular function as surrogate for cerebral microvascular function and cognition in hemodialysis patients. The relationship between impairment in executive function and reduced arteriolar reaction to flicker light stimulation supports the involvement of cerebral small vessel disease as contributing factor for the development of cognitive impairment in this patient population and might be a target for noninvasive disease monitoring and therapeutic intervention.}, language = {en} } @article{AndingTabazaStaatetal.2013, author = {Anding, Ralf and Tabaza, Ruth and Staat, Manfred and Trenz, Eva and Lohmann, Philipp and Klinge, Uwe and Kirschner-Hermanns, Ruth}, title = {Introducing a method of in vitro testing of different anchoring systems used for female incontinence and prolapse surgery}, series = {BioMed research international}, volume = {Vol. 2013}, journal = {BioMed research international}, issn = {1110-7251 (E-Journal); 2314-6141 (E-Journal); 1110-7243 (Print); 2314-6133 (Print)}, pages = {Article ID 401417}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{AminTemizArtmannArtmannetal.2009, author = {Amin, Rashid and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Artmann, Gerhard and Lazarovici, Philip and Lelkes, Peter I.}, title = {Permeability of an In Vitro Model of Blood Brain Barrier (BBB)}, series = {13th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering / Lim, Chwee Teck [Ed.]}, journal = {13th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering / Lim, Chwee Teck [Ed.]}, isbn = {978-3-540-92841-6}, pages = {81 -- 84}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{AlbrachtArampatzis2013, author = {Albracht, Kirsten and Arampatzis, Adamantios}, title = {Exercise-induced changes in triceps surae tendon stiffness and muscle strength affect running economy in humans}, series = {European Journal of Applied Physiology}, volume = {113}, journal = {European Journal of Applied Physiology}, number = {6}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1439-6327}, doi = {10.1007/s00421-012-2585-4}, pages = {1605 -- 1615}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{AlbrachtArampatzis2006, author = {Albracht, Kirsten and Arampatzis, Adamantios}, title = {Influence of the mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit on force generation in runners with different running economy}, series = {Biological Cybernetics}, volume = {95}, journal = {Biological Cybernetics}, number = {1}, issn = {1432-0770}, doi = {10.1007/s00422-006-0070-z}, pages = {87 -- 96}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @article{AlbrachtArampatzisBaltzopoulos2008, author = {Albracht, Kirsten and Arampatzis, A. and Baltzopoulos, V.}, title = {Assessment of muscle volume and physiological cross-sectional area of the human triceps surae muscle in vivo}, series = {Journal of Biomechanics}, volume = {41}, journal = {Journal of Biomechanics}, issn = {0021-9290}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.04.020}, pages = {2211 -- 2218}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Albracht2010, author = {Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Influence of mechanical properties of the leg extensor muscletendon units on running economy}, publisher = {Deutsche Sporthochschule K{\"o}ln}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, pages = {X, 1221 Bl. : graph.

However, previous techniques to evaluate NVC required invasive procedures. Retinal vessels may represent an alternative option for non-invasive assessment of NVC. Methods A prototype of an adapted retinal vessel analyzer was used to assess retinal vessel diameter in mice. Dynamic vessel analysis (DVA) included an application of monochromatic flicker light impulses in predefined frequencies for evaluating NVC. All retinae were harvested after DVA and electroretinograms were performed. Results A total of 104 retinal scans were conducted in 21 male mice (90 scans). Quantitative arterial recordings were feasible only in a minority of animals, showing an emphasized reaction to flicker light impulses (8 mice; 14 scans). A characteristic venous response to flicker light, however, could observed in the majority of animals. Repeated measurements resulted in a significant decrease of baseline venous diameter (7 mice; 7 scans, p < 0.05). Ex-vivo electroretinograms, performed after in-vivo DVA, demonstrated a significant reduction of transretinal signaling in animals with repeated DVA (n = 6, p < 0.001). Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first non-invasive study assessing murine retinal vessel response to flicker light with characteristic changes in NVC. The imaging system can be used for basic research and enables the investigation of retinal vessel dimension and function in control mice and genetically modified animals.}, language = {en} }
