Prof Mag Dr Hanna Mayer and Ana Valente dos Santos Cartaxo, MSc, both from the Division of Nursing Science with a focus on Person-Centred Care Research, together with Prof Dr Inge Eberl from the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, provide a data basis on the current situation of nursing care in Austria in the MISSCARE Austria study. On this basis, interventions for successful care provision in the future can be better planned.
A research group led by Thomas Eiwegger, MD, Head of the Clinical Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the University Hospital in St. Pölten and Assoc Prof of Karl Landsteiner University and the University of Toronto, is providing new insights into acute food allergies. The researchers published in the "European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology" a new model based on human intestinal tissue samples.
Food allergies affect up to 10% of children in certain areas and are on the rise. Allergen exposure in food-allergic children can result in life-threatening reactions. Given the lack of treatment and markers of food allergy, new models to study mechanisms and new treatment options for food allergy are required.
Choosing the appropriate timing for specialized palliative care can have a positive impact on life expectancy for patients with small cell lung cancer. This is the result of a recently internationally published study by the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems, Austria). There, the relevant data of 152 patients were evaluated at the Krems University Hospital. The result shows a differentiated picture: the life expectancy of those affected depends both on the reason for referral for special palliative care and on its starting time relative to the course of the disease.
A mobile augmented reality game fosters sense of belonging in adolescents. The D.O.T. (Die Offene Tür - The Open Door) research team of the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences and the Ludwig Boltzmann Society designed the educational game.

The award was given to science projects with the highest relevance for the scientific community as well as for the general public. All projects were funded by the province of Lower Austria within the framework of the Science Calls 2016 to 2019. In the poster presentations of the still ongoing research projects from the Science Calls 2018 and 2019, our Carmen Rehm reached 1st place with a visually and content-wise outstanding poster!
Age tech refers to emerging and new technologies designed to assist older adults and to promote their health. Many applications are based on artificial intelligence or machine-based learning systems. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Giovanni Rubeis explains why equity must essentially be denoted during the design process of AgeTech. To avoid exclusion and disadvantage of individuals through the use of Age-Tech, regulations alone are not sufficient.
A team from the Karl Landsteiner University in Krems, Austria, finds a high redundancy in proteins that modulate neuronal networks and neuronal signal transmission
With the help of a self-constructed 3D model, senior physicians PD Dr Bela Büki and Dr Michael Bauer research together with colleagues from the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA the reasons for shadows in MR images of the inner ear and explain how the results can be useful in everyday clinical practice.
