Methods In this re...

Background: Reversed total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is an established surgery for many pathologies of the shoulder and the demand continues to rise with an aging population. Preoperative planning is mandatory to support the surgeon’s understanding of the patient’s individual anatomy and, therefore, is crucial for the patient’s outcome. Methods:...

Background: Cancer patients are highly prone to infectious diseases. While undergoing antineoplastic treatment, the risk of severe symptoms upon infection increases, necessitating efficient protective measures, such as vaccination. For patients receiving radiotherapy, there is no specific information about humoral immunity. During the COVID-19 pand...

Downhill-mountain biking (DMB) is a high-risk sport and often leads to several injuries, especially in non-professional athletes. We retrospectively analyzed the most common injuries and profiled the injury mechanism. Until now, there is no such analysis of injuries by non-professional mountain bike athletes. We collected patient data from patients...

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects the biomechanics of the hip and the patient gait. The stem design influences femoral lever ratios and tissue trauma. Biomechanical changes such as these have the potential to induce knee arthritis. A varus or valgus configuration of knee arthritis is formed by asymmetric loadings. The aim of this st...

Background and Objectives: Short-stem total hip arthroplasty has become increasingly popular in recent years. While many studies have shown excellent clinical and radiological results, very little is known about the learning curve for short-stem total hip arthroplasty through an anterolateral approach. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determ...

Background: Glenoid wear is a common complication of anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) with a metal-backed glenoid (MBG), and the clinical and radiological results of historical implants are poor.

Unter Lernen versteht man ganz allgemein den Prozess, der mit einem gewünschten, zufälligen, beiläufigen oder weitgehend unbewussten Erwerb von neuem Wissen, Erfahrungen und Fertigkeiten einhergeht. Dieser Erwerb führt letztlich zu einer Veränderung des Verhaltens, Denkens oder Fühlens aufgrund von neu gewonnenen Einsichten und Erfahrung. Dieses Ka...

Im Prinzip kann man behaupten, dass sich bei jedem lebenden Organismus alles um das Überleben und um die Fortpflanzung dreht. Da wir Menschen uns in der Regel nur durch geschlechtliche Fortpflanzung vermehren können, ist dafür eine gegengeschlechtliche Partnerin/ein gegengeschlechtlicher Partner notwendig. Dessen Wahl sollte so getroffen werden, da...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate sports activity before anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and after surgical treatment of ACL rupture comparing ACL repair with an Internal Brace to ACL reconstruction using either a hamstring (HT) or quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. Methods Between 12/2015 and 10/2016, we recruited 69 patient...

Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can lead to reduced function, meniscal lesions, and early joint degeneration. Preservation of a torn ACL using the Internal Brace® technique might re-establish normal knee kinematics, avoid donor-site morbidity due to tendon harvesting, and potentially maintain proprioception of the knee. Methods F...

Die Digitalisierung ist in aller Munde und schon Teil des täglichen Lebens. Auch in der Lehre wird die Anwendung von digitalen Medien im Unterricht an Schulen und an universitären Bildungseinrichtungen zunehmend gefordert-meist in der Hoffnung und im Glauben, die Lehrergebnisse zu verbessern-aber auch, um die Lernenden zu motivieren, sich mit kompl...

Objectives: Objective return to sport (RTS) criteria after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are lacking. Study purposes were (1) to report Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) values achieved in a test battery, (2) to detect how many subjects meet RTS criteria 12-18 months post-operative and (3) to identify whether patient-administered scores predict...

Die implizite und explizite Wirkung von Banner Ads wird empirisch untersucht.

Purpose: Evidence on objective criteria to facilitate the decision for a return to sport (RTS) release in patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is lacking. This might be a contributing factor to explain re-ruptures after ACL reconstruction. The purpose of the study was to detect how many surgically treated subjects meet the RTS cri...

When we buy a product of a brand, we trust the brand to provide good quality and reliability. Therefore, trust plays a major role in consumer behavior. It is unclear, however, how trust in brands is processed in the brain and whether it is processed differently from interpersonal trust. In this study, we used fMRI to investigate the neural correlat...

We investigated the role of initial trust in an e-commerce context (hereafter e-Trust) that individuals perceive based on the information that is presented on the landing page of an app in an app store. In order to establish external validity, we collected data based on a set of realistic sport tracking apps and conducted an online experiment. Base...

Everyone has experienced emotions and everybody knows what they are – at least, we think we know. Asked for an explanation, the response will likely be something along the lines of “happiness is an emotion” or “if I’m scared of something, it is also an emotion.” Such imprecise and in the narrower sense incorrect definitions are entirely sufficient...

Purpose: There is sparse evidence for return to sport criteria after knee injury. Functional performance deficits, particularly in fatigued muscular condition, should be verified prior to the attempt to return to high-risk pivoting sports. The purpose of this study was to generate reference values for the limb symmetry index (LSI) of healthy subje...

Es wird annahnd wissenschaftlichen Studien erläutert, wie die intensive Nutzung von neuen Medien das Lernen erschwert.

The emotional perception of brands, explicit as well as implicit, is of interest to any brand manager. An implicit association test (IAT) could have the potential to detect unconscious attitudes and therefore evaluates intangible brand values. In a pilot study, we conducted an IAT online survey to test this implicit method to measure the emotional...

Omnichannel retailing is an approach that enables customers to use multiple online and offline channels of retailers during a customer journey and combine them simultaneously. By embedding digital devices in brick-and-mortar retail stores, retailers are able to better observe customer behavior, to collect customer data, analyze their needs and prov...

Banner advertising is usually placed on suitable, highly frequented websites. The extent to which the brand of a banner ad and the brand of the website influence each other, has not yet been sufficiently investigated. This article provides initial results based on a pilot study which reveals that a positively perceived website can shift a negative...

Es wird eine neue, kosten- und zeiteffiziente Testbatterie zur Ermittlung der ”Return to Sport”-Fähigkeit nach Verletzungen des vorderen Kreuzbands entwickelt.

In light of the situation that banner ads are normally ignored by the target group, the question arises of whether the placement of such ads is reasonable. Referring to the mere exposure effect and priming mechanism, some impact can be derived, however, not always as desired. Depending on existing positive or negative predispositions toward a speci...

Unternehmen werden von der Öffentlichkeit oft spontan und ohne genauer Kenntnis der Produkte oder Dienstleistungen beurteilt. Bei dieser intuitiven Beurteilung spielen Marken eine bedeutende Rolle. Selbst Kunden können sich von den dahinterliegenden (biologischen) Mechanismen nicht gänzlich lösen und werden von teils angeborenen, adaptiven Reaktion...

This report suggests a single-item measure, the so-called BE_AB index, of consumer-based brand equity (CBBE) with the aim of capturing this index to control a brand in the long run, particularly in light of competing brands. This approach is inspired by aspects from evolutionary psychology (EP) and neuroscience (NS). The empirical data (N=299 subje...

This paper tries to link findings from evolutionary psychology and neuroscience with the aim to adapt traditional buying models and, as a result, shed new light on the different buying behavior. Out of these theories one can derive that (online) buying behavior is in a general sense twofold. Need-oriented-buying behavior: We purchase goods because...

The neuroactive hormone oxytocin (OT) has significant influence on human behavior, and it has been measured peripherally in venous blood and in saliva in many behavioral neuroscience studies. Assessment of salivary hormone levels is popular due to non-invasiveness, but there is a controversy as to whether OT can be reliably measured in saliva and h...

In today’s society, as computers, the Internet, and mobile phones pervade almost every corner of life, the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on humans is dramatic. The use of ICT, however, may also have a negative side. Human interaction with technology may lead to notable stress perceptions, a phenomenon referred to as tec...

Understanding human information needs worldwide requires the analysis of much data and adequate statistical analysis methods. Big interaction data from empirical studies regarding cultural human computer interaction (HCI) was analyzed using statistical methods to develop a model of culturally influenced HCI. There are significant differences in HCI...

Playing with highly activating computer games is a huge pastime for male students at the age of 15 to 19 years. Particularly shooter-games are very popular and favoured by these individuals. The consequences of such behaviour are discussed most contradictory within the scientific community. One group posits a causal negative impact on aggressivenes...

Despite the positive impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on an individual, organizational, and societal level (e.g., increased access to information, as well as enhanced performance and productivity), both scientific research and anecdotal evidence indicate that human-machine interaction, both in a private and organizational co...
