                "de": "Im vorliegenden Projektvorschlag soll überprüft werden, ob sich mittels afferenter Stimulation im Bereich von Finger und Hand poststimulatorische adaptive Effekte im sensomotorischen Kortex anregen lassen. Da solcherart neuoplastische Effekte mit einer erhöhten kortikospinalen Erregbarkeit einhergehen, eignen sich hier nichtinvasive Methoden wie TMS und fMRI für den Nachweis. Im Rahmen dieses Projekts sollen zwei Arten der afferenten Stimulation zur Anwendung kommen, die periphere Magnetstimulation und die biomechanische Stimulation. Bezüglich der Stimulationsfrequenz gibt es Hinweise dass eine Frequenz um 25 Hz optimal sein könnte (kortikale Resonanz), daher sollen hier 10 und 25 Hz getestet werden. Ziel des Projekts ist es die Post-Stimulus-Effekte bezüglich ihrer Effektstärke und Anhaltedauer zu charakterisieren und hinblicklich ihrer zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen (unmasking, LTP) zu diskutieren. Ein weiters Ziel ist es die Ergebnisse für die Neurorehabilitation nutzbar zu machen.",
                "en": "The proposed research examines the hypothesis that sustained somatosensory stimulation induces post-stimulus adaptive changes in primary motor cortex of healthy subjects. As such changes are associated with increased corticospinal excitability and reorganization of cortical networks, non-invasive assessment tools like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are suited to evaluate the stimulation effects. Two types of sensory stimulation will be tested and compared here, repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) of hand muscles and whole-hand mechanical stimulation (MSTIM). The research strategy employs a series of experiments to quantify the adaptive changes following stimulation protocols with different parameters. Specifically, we are interested into stimuli to effectively modulate the motor cortex, and into the reliability of the two assessment tools to quantify the post-stimulus effects. These experimental series will provide a fundamental scientific basis for better understanding how sustained sensory stimulation modulates central motor controlling structures and will help to evaluate the potential clinical benefit from the proposed stimulation techiques."

                "de": "In vitro diagnostics have allowed a great deal of progress in medicine but are limited by two factors: *the lack of guidelines in collection, handling, stabilisation and storage of biosamples which limits the reproducibility of subsequent diagnoses, and *its scale is restraines to the cellular level. To address this first point, this IP, SPIDIA, built of clinicians, academics, tool developers and assay developers, aims to develop quality guidelines for molecular in vitro diagnostics and to standardize the pre-analytical workflow in related procedures. Regarding the second point, SPIDIA aims to develop modern pre-analytical tools for diagnostic improving the stabilisation, handling and study of free biomolecules within blood, plasma, serum, tissues and tumours. Recent discoveries have revealed that RNA, DNA or proteins, released from pathological sites, like tumour cells or Alzheimer's disease brain lesions, into the blood or as a secondary blood based response to the disease can serve as biomarkers for early and reliable molecular diagnosis of such debilitating diseases. Further discoveries have shown that the cellular profiles of these molecules and structures in clinical samples can change during transport and storage thus making clinical assay results and pharmaceutical research unreliable or even impossible. It will therefore be a decisive prerequisite for future and current diagnostic assays to develop standards and new technologies, tools and devices that eliminate the human error in the pre-analytical steps of in vitro diagnostics.

                "en": "In vitro diagnostics have allowed a great deal of progress in medicine but are limited by two factors: *the lack of guidelines in collection, handling, stabilisation and storage of biosamples which limits the reproducibility of subsequent diagnoses, and *its scale is restraines to the cellular level. To address this first point, this IP, SPIDIA, built of clinicians, academics, tool developers and assay developers, aims to develop quality guidelines for molecular in vitro diagnostics and to standardize the pre-analytical workflow in related procedures. Regarding the second point, SPIDIA aims to develop modern pre-analytical tools for diagnostic improving the stabilisation, handling and study of free biomolecules within blood, plasma, serum, tissues and tumours. Recent discoveries have revealed that RNA, DNA or proteins, released from pathological sites, like tumour cells or Alzheimer's disease brain lesions, into the blood or as a secondary blood based response to the disease can serve as biomarkers for early and reliable molecular diagnosis of such debilitating diseases. Further discoveries have shown that the cellular profiles of these molecules and structures in clinical samples can change during transport and storage thus making clinical assay results and pharmaceutical research unreliable or even impossible.

They are all transcription factors belonging to the superfamily of steroid nuclear hormone receptors.

NR4A1 controls both survival and death of cancer cells. \r\nIn contrast to NR4A1, only pro-survival effects, but not pro-apoptotic effects, have been reported for NR4A2. \r\nNR4A3 has been shown to be functionally redundant with NR4A1 in T-cell apoptosis.

Evidence of nuclear orphan receptors acting as tumor suppressor genes in B-cell malignancies comes from the observation that Epstein-Barr virus EBNA 2 blocks NR4A1 mediated apoptosis in B-cells and from gene expression profiling in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in which over expression of NR4A3 is found in cured or refractory DLBCL, as opposed to a fatal course of disease.

RFA is a minimally invasive form to treat cancer without open surgery, by placing a needle inside the malignancy and destroying it through intensive heating. Though the advantages of this approach ale obvious, the intervention is currently hard to plan, almost impossible to monitor or assess, and therefore is not the first choice for treatment. IMPPACT will develop a physiological model of the liver and simulate the intervention's result, accounting for patient specific physiological factors. Gaps in the understanding of particular aspects of the RFA treatment will be closed by multi-scale studies on cells and animals. New findings will be evaluated microscopically and transformed into macroscopic equations. The long-established bio-heat equation will be extended to incorporate multiple scales. Validation will be performed at multiple levels. Images from ongoing patient treatment will be used to cross check validity for human physiology. Final validation will be performed at macroscopic level through visual comparison of simulation and treatment results gathered in animal studies and during patient treatment. This extensive validation together with a user-centered software design approach will guarantee suitability of the solution for clinical practice. The consortium consists of two Hospitals, three Universities, one Research Institute and one industrial SME. The final project deliverables will be the patient specific intervention planning system and an augmented reality training simulator for the RFA intervention.",
