Objective: Due to the prohibition of face-to-face courses during the Corona pandemic, the seminar "Written Examinations" of the Frankfurter Arbeitsstelle für Medizindidaktik (FAM) was converted into an asynchronous online seminar. This pilot project investigated how such a format is accepted and evaluated by the participants. Methodology: A forum-based online format with group and individual tasks was chosen, which was didactically designed according to the problem-oriented design by Reinmann and Mandl. Results: The seminar was attended by 14 people, 13 of whom took part in the evaluation. The overall evaluation was, with one exception, a grade of 2 (and better). The three items "practical relevance", "subjective learning success" and the question of recommendation also received very high approval ratings. The weekly workload reported by the participants was very heterogeneous (mean=2.4 hours; SD=1.1). For some participants, the use of the learning platform was not intuitive and group collaboration was somewhat faltering.Conclusion: The experiences made show that courses on medical didactics can be implemented online and are gladly accepted by the participants. Based on the experience gained, online seminars or blended learning formats will certainly continue to be part of the FAM course program in the future.
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic made it necessary to convert a course on history taking, in theory and practice, to an online format over a very short time. A key question was whether, and if so to what extent, basic theory and, in particular, the practical skills required to conduct medical interviews can be learned online.
Methodology/project description: The teaching program in basic theory was didactically redesigned and asynchronously placed on a learning platform, while the practical program, which consisted of training in conducting history-taking interviews, took place with the help of video conferencing software during synchronous sessions. For the practical sessions, the lecturers received organizational and technical support.
Results: Based on initial evaluation results, a positive picture of the conversion has emerged since the course was completed. The need to restructure the course and use new teaching methods because of the COVID-19 pandemic was well accepted by lecturers and students, and the course content was successfully adapted to an online format.
Conclusion: Overall, the online format enabled the learning objectives of the course to be successfully achieved. For topics such as non-verbal communication, the evaluation results indicated that a classroom format is preferable. Asynchronous theory teaching was generally very well received. Blended learning formats thus represent an appropriate means of teaching how to conduct medical interviews. Overall, online courses on conducting medical interviews provide students with the opportunity to become acquainted with the use of digital formats to conduct doctor-patient interviews, and to develop the relevant skills.
Academies and the defence of European national languages (mit einer selbstkritischen Vorbemerkung)
(2020)
Um das Problem der einzelnen Nationalsprachen geht es Jürgen Trabant in seinem Beitrag. Er plädiert für die Bewahrung der Mehrsprachigkeit in den Wissenschaften und die Förderung der unterschiedlichen Nationalsprachen in der wissenschaftlichen Lehre und Forschung - hier vor allem an die Adresse der jeweiligen nationalen Akademien der Wissenschaften gerichtet. Trabant warnt vor den Verlusten, die man zwangsläufig in Kauf nimmt, wenn - zumal in den Kultur- und Geisteswissenschaften - nur noch eine wissenschaftliche lingua franca den Ton angibt und andere Sprachen aus dem Wissenschaftsdiskurs ausgegrenzt werden.
Der hier edierte und übersetzte Text erschien zuerst 1895 in der niederländischen Zeitschrift "De Nieuwe Gids". Er wurde von Maurice Barrès nicht wieder gedruckt und auch nicht in die posthume Ausgabe der Werke aufgenommen. Barrès' Zeitschriftenbeitrag ist eine Auftragsarbeit, die ihm sein niederländischer Freund Frans Erens (1857–1935) vermittelte, der zu den Beiträgern des "Nieuwe Gids" gehörte. Erens lebte von 1880 bis 1883 in Paris, wo er Barrès kennenlernte und mit dem vertraut wurde, was er in den "Erinnerungen" "la jeune génération littéraire de Paris" nennt. Und damit sind nicht nur Zola und die Naturalisten gemeint, sondern auch die jungen Schriftsteller, die im Jahr von Barrès' Aufsatz über eine "Ästhetik von morgen" begannen, den Naturalismus als das 'Gestern' der Literatur zu schelten und die von den Kennern der Literaturszene als "Symboliques" oder "Décadents" registriert wurden. Ein in den Erinnerungen von Erens mitgeteilter Brief von Barrès an ihn vom 30. August 1885 lässt aufgrund einer Bemerkung über den aktuellen Literaturkampf in Paris vermuten, dass beide eine negative Einstellung gegenüber dem 1885 noch dominierenden Naturalismus teilten und dass Erens mit einem entsprechend getönten Beitrag aus Paris zu rechnen hatte.

Background: There is general consensus that the organizational and administrative aspects of academic study programs exert an important influence on teaching and learning. Despite this, no comprehensive framework currently exists to describe the conditions that affect the quality of teaching and learning in medical education. The aim of this paper is to systematically and comprehensively identify these factors to offer academic administrators and decision makers interested in improving teaching a theory-based and, to an extent, empirically founded framework on the basis of which improvements in teaching quality can be identified and implemented.
Method: Primarily, the issue was addressed by combining a theory-driven deductive approach with an experience based, “best evidence” one during the course of two workshops held by the GMA Committee on Personnel and Organizational Development in Academic Teaching (POiL) in Munich (2013) and Frankfurt (2014). Two models describing the conditions relevant to teaching and learning (Euler/Hahn and Rindermann) were critically appraised and synthesized into a new third model. Practical examples of teaching strategies that promote or hinder learning were compiled and added to the categories of this model and, to the extent possible, supported with empirical evidence.
Based on this, a checklist with recommendations for optimizing general academic conditions was formulated.
Results: The Frankfurt Model of conditions to ensure Quality in Teaching and Learning covers six categories: organizational structure/medical school culture, regulatory frameworks, curricular requirements, time constraints, material and personnel resources, and qualification of teaching staff. These categories have been supplemented by the interests, motives and abilities of the actual teachers and students in this particular setting. The categories of this model provide the structure for a checklist in which recommendations for optimizing teaching are given.
Conclusions: The checklist derived from the Frankfurt Model for ensuring quality in teaching and learning can be used for quality assurance and to improve the conditions under which teaching and learning take place in medical schools.
Case description: A patient with a Barrett oesophageal carcinoma and a resection of the oesophagus with gastric pull-up developed swallowing disorders 6 years and 2 months after the operation. Within 1 year and 7 months two recurrences of the tumor at the anastomosis were found and treated with combined chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy respectively. 7 years and 9 months after the operation local tumor masses and destruction were present with no ability to orally drink or eat (full feeding by jejunal PEG tube): quality of life was poor, as saliva and mucus were very viscous (pulling filaments) and could not be swallowed and had to be spat out throughout the day and night resulting in short periods of sleep (awaking from the necessity to spit out). In total the situation was interpreted more as a problem related to a feeling of choking (with food or fluid) in the sense of a functional dysphagia rather than as a swallowing disorder from a structural stenosis.
At that time acetylcysteine (2 times 200 mg per day, given via the PEG tube) and irradiation with water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA), a special form of heat radiation, of the ventral part of the neck and the thorax were added to the therapy. Within 1 day with acetylcysteine saliva and mucus became less viscous. Within 2 days with wIRA (one day with 4 to 5 hours with irradiation with wIRA at home) salivation decreased markedly and quality of life clearly improved: For the first time the patient slept without interruption and without the need for sleep-inducing medication. After 5 days with wIRA the patient could eat his first soft dumpling although drinking of fluids was still not possible. After 2½ weeks with wIRA the patient could eat his first minced schnitzel (escalope).
Following the commencement of wIRA (with typically approximately 90–150 minutes irradiation with wIRA per day) the patient had 8 months with good quality of life with only small amounts of liquid saliva and mucus and without the necessity to spit out. During this period the patient was able to sleep during the night.
Discussion: The main physiological effects of water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) are: wIRA increases tissue temperature, tissue oxygen partial pressure and tissue perfusion markedly.
The five main clinical effects of wIRA are: wIRA decreases pain, inflammation and exudation/hypersecretion, and promotes infection defense and regeneration, all in a cross-indication manner. Therefore there is a wide range of indications for wIRA.
The effects of wIRA are based on both its thermal effects (relying on transfer of heat energy) and thermic effects (temperature-dependent effects, occurring together with temperature changes) as well as on non-thermal and temperature-independent effects like direct effects on cells, cell structures or cell substances.
Conclusion: Besides in a variety of other indications for wIRA, in cases of swallowing disorders (functional dysphagia) and hypersalivation or hypersecretion of mucus the use of wIRA should be considered as part of the treatment regime for improving a patient’s quality of life.
Razina pročišćenosti alogenoga koštanog bloka = Variant purification of an allogeneic bone block
(2017)
Svrha: Ovaj kratak tekst izvještava o histološkoj analizi sastava komercijalno raspoloživih alogenih koštanih blokova Maxgraft®. Materijali i metode: Na temelju objavljenih histoloških metoda prazni uzorci alogenih koštanih blokova Maxgraft® dekalcificirani su, dehidrirani i uloženi u parafin prije histološkog i histokemijskog bojenja. Nakon toga na prerezima su se procjenjivala obilježja materijala, poput strukture koštanoga matriksa i druge komponente, uključujući kolagen ili stanice/stanične ostatke. Rezultati: Uočeno je da ovi koštani blokovi imaju trabekularnu strukturu s lamelarnom podorganizacijom. Dodatno su nađeni i stanični ostatci unutar lakuna osteocita i na vanjskim površinama trabekula zajedno s ostatcima intertrabekularnog masnog i vezivnog tkiva, te kolagene strukture, vezivno-tkivne stanice i stanični ostatci. Zaključak: U skladu s dosadašnjim istraživanjima, podatci iz ovoga teksta pokazuju da neke od certificiranih tehnika pročišćavanja ne omogućuju proizvodnju alogenog materijala bez organskih stanica i tkivnih komponenata.
Am Fachbereich Medizin und dem Klinikum der Johann Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität Frankfurt existierten bereits seit 2002 mehrere einzelne medizindidaktische Kurse. Diese Aktivitäten wurden 2011 strukturiert, ein umfassendes Kursangebot, das das breite Spektrum an Themen rund um die Lehre abdeckt, wurde aufgebaut und unter dem Dach der Frankfurter Arbeitsstelle für Medizindidaktik (FAM) am Fachbereich institutionalisiert. Folgende Faktoren waren für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung ausschlaggebend: vorhandene Programme in anderen Bundesländern (v.a. Baden-Württemberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen) mit entsprechenden Vorgaben, die Unterstützung der Studiendekane, die Verankerung der Teilnahme an medizindidaktischen Kursen in der Habilitationsordnung sowie eine kritische Masse von an der Lehre interessierten Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern. Kernelemente des Angebots sind ein Basiskurs für alle neu eingestellten wissenschaftlichen Angestellten mit Lehrverpflichtung und ein modularer Aufbau des Programms, der individuellen Präferenzen bzw. Erfordernissen entgegen kommt. Gleichwohl die Teilnahme am Kursprogramm überwiegend verpflichtend erfolgt, zeigt sich eine hohe Zufriedenheit und ein nachhaltiger Wissenszuwachs bei den Kursteilnehmerinnen und Kursteilnehmern.
