List projects.

Fields

id (integer)

Primary key.

Expansions

To activate relation expansion add the desired fields as a comma separated list to the expand query parameter like this:

?expand=<field>,<field>,<field>,...

The following relational fields can be expanded:

  • organization
  • category
  • type
  • partner_function
  • manager
  • contact
  • status
  • grant
  • research
  • event
  • study
  • language
  • program
  • funders

Filters

To filter for exact value matches:

?<fieldname>=<value>

Possible exact filters:

  • organization
  • category
  • manager
  • contact
  • status
  • grant
  • research
  • study
  • language
  • funders
  • program

For advanced filtering use lookups:

?<fieldname>__<lookup>=<value>

All fields with advanced lookups can also be used for exact value matches as described above.

Possible advanced lookups:

  • begin_planned: gt, gte, lt, lte
  • begin_effective: gt, gte, lt, lte
  • end_planned: gt, gte, lt, lte
  • end_effective: gt, gte, lt, lte

                "de": "Vorhofflimmern und Vorhofflattern sind Erkrankungen, deren Inzidenz in hohem Alter um ein vielfaches zunimmt. In USA sind derzeit 6% der Bevölkerung über 65 Jahre davon betroffen. Die Erforschung atrialer Erregungsleitung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der altersbedingten Mikrostrukturveränderungen des Myokards verdient daher besondere Beachtung. Aus klinischer Sicht wird u.a. der postero-laterale Isthmus des rechten Atriums als kritisches Substrat für die Entstehung von intermittierendem Leitungblock angesehen. Diese Zone besteht aus einem komplexen Netzwerk kabelförmiger Faserbündel (Musculi Pectinati), welche die Crista Terminalis und das Vestibulum verbinden.  \r\nNeuere Untersuchungen der Bindegewebsmatrix im Atrium Gewebe lassen die Vermutung zu, dass in detailliert mikroskopischer Sicht (Submillimeterbereich) Erregungsausbreitung nicht so verläuft, wie in makroskopischen intrakardialen Verfahren abgebildet. Da klinische Messverfahren auch in absehbarer Zukunft diese hohe räumliche Auflösung nicht erwarten lassen, sind in-vitro Experimente am isolierten Kleintierherz mit ultra-hochauflösenden Verfahren zweckdienlich und geplant. Ein derartiges System wurde von unserer Forschergruppe entwickelt. Es ermöglicht das Erfassen des elektrischen Nah-Feldes (CNF = cardiac near field) an der Gewebsoberfläche durch vier Elektroden innerhalb von 50x50 µm und in einer Entfernung von 60 µm und kann dieses als zweidimensionales Signal (Vektorschleife) mit exzellenter Signalqualität aufzeichnen. Betrag und Richtung der lokalen Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit sowie kleinste Signallatenzen im Bereich von wenigen Mikrosekunden können ermittelt werden. Somit werden Diskontinuitäten der Erregungsausbreitung, verursacht durch (oft nur durch Bruchteile eines Millimeters getrennte) Bindegewebseinlagerungen detektierbar. Durch gezielte individuelle Positionierung von bis zu 5 nadelförmigen Nahfeld-Sensoren und simultane Erfassung der kardialen Nahfelder speziell im Bereich von Verzweigungen oder Einmündungen von dünnen Muskelfasern kann man eine Aufklärung sowohl der makroskopischen als auch der mikroskopischen Leitungsmechanismen in diesem Faserbündelnetz des Isthmus erwarten.  \r\nZiel des Projektes ist es, Makro- und Mikroerregungsaubreitung an kritischen Zonen des Vorhofs zu messen und zu analysieren, und zwar mit einer bisher unerreichten Auflösung in Raum (50µm) und Zeit (5µs). Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, benötigen wir vier Komponenten: 1. die Erstellung einer detaillierten elektro-anatomischen Karte des Isthmus mit einer Zuordnung der leitungsrelevanten Parameter (Größe und Richtung der Ausbreitungsgeschwindigkeit sowie deren Komplexität). 2. Histologische Schnitte zur Bestimmung des Verlaufs von Faserrichtung, Bindegewebsstrukturen und der Topologie der zwischenzellulären Spalte. 3. Bildverabeitung von histologischen Schnitten zur Konstruktion von 3D-Leitungsmodellen und 4. Simulation der Erregungsausbreitung im Gewebsstrukturmodell. Mit einem derartigen Modell kann das elektrophysiologische Experiment validiert werden und vice versa.  \r\nEin breiter interdisziplinärer Ansatz mit Einsatz modernster Verfahren aus Signalverarbeitung, Bildverarbeitung, Messtechnik und Sensorik, Histologie und Computersimulation lässt neue Erkenntnisse um die Mechanismen von Vorhofflimmern und –flattern erwarten. In weiterer Zukunft könnten derartige mikrostrukturrelevante Analysen aus dem Nahfeldsignal auch für die klinische Anwendung in minimal-invasiver Kathetertechnik relevant werden. \r\n",
                "en": "Severe atrial conduction disturbances, namely atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation are associated with aging. In USA atrial fibrillation nowadays affects 6 % of the population elder than 65 years, a fraction rising steady with increasing life expectancy. Research on atrial conduction comprising functional and structural aspects associated ageing is therefore of particular interest. \r\nThe lateral and posterior part of the lower right atrium is seen as critical substrate for the genesis of intermittent block of conduction. This region of interest (ROI) forms a network of cable-like muscle bundles comprising the terminal ramifications of the terminal crest, pectinate muscles and the tricuspidal valve vestibule.  \r\nRecent studies on the tissue matrix in several regions of the atria suggest, that excitation spread at a sub-millimetre size scale may differ substantially from activation maps taken from clinical recordings at a coarser size scale. However clinical mapping systems capable of resolving activation sequences in the sub-millimetre range will not be available in the foreseeable future. Ultra-high resolution techniques, like the Cardiac Near Field (CNF) recording developed recently by our group, are ideally suited to study macro- as well as micro-propagation of the cardiac impulse in the ROI. CNF-analysis allows the determination of magnitude and direction of conduction velocity as well as the detection of complex discontinuities of conduction within an observation area of much less than 1 mm². From such high-resolution recordings taken simultaneously at 5 individual sites one can get details of conduction along an individual muscle fibre or specifically in zones where fibres branch or merge. Complex conduction caused by recurrent thin (some tens of microns) barriers formed by connective tissue can be detected by this new technique. \r\nThe aim of the project is to study and compare mechanisms of macro- and micro-propagation in the ROI and to develop a structure-related computer model of this atrial zone with spatio-temporal resolution unknown until know. Four components of knowledge about the ROI are needed to reach this goal: 1. a detailed electro-anatomical map of signals reflecting magnitude and direction of local conduction velocity as well as an index of microstructural complexity 2. histological images revealing the course and the topology of conducting fibers, of connective tissue and of interstitial clefts. 3. methods of image processing to convert these images into microgrids of conduction parameters related to the histograph 4. methods to assemble these data to a structure related computer model. Validation of the virtual tissue model can be made by electrophysiological experiments and vice versa. Only a broad multidisciplinary view comprising histology, image analysis, measurement technique, signal processing, computer simulation and cardiac electrophysiology will let us achieve these goals. The scientists involved in this project will ensure this approach by cooperation established yet. The results should push forward the knowledge of microstructure related conduction disturbances, particularly in the Isthmus of the right atrium. A profound analysis of the signature of microstructure in CNF-signals will open new aspects of diagnostic tools of arrhythmia analysis for future minimal-invasive catheter techniques.  \r\n"
