    Dieser Newsletter informiert jährlich über die Aktivitäten des deutschsprachigen Netzwerkes zu Service User Involvement - Erfahrungswissen in der Hochschulbildung. Der Newsletter informiert in seiner Ausgabe 2022 über folgende Aktivitäten: David Dörrer und Karin Terfloth berichten in ihrem Beitrag „Professionalisierung des Service User Involvements durch Qualifikationsangebote“ über den Einsatz von Bildungsfachkräften. Dabei nehmen sie die Benefits für die Menschen mit Behinderungserfahrungen in den Blick und stellen sich die Frage, wie die Qualifizierung ggf. Perspektiven bzw. die Vertretung der Peergruppe verändern kann. In ihrem Beitrag „Service User Involvement in der Ausbildung in Zürich: Ein Pilotprojekt“ stellen Gisela Meier und Michael Herzig eine tatkräftige Initiative für die Implementierung von SUI an der Fachhochschule Zürich vor. Für die Erstellung des Konzeptes werden Studierende, Lehrende, Adressat*innen und Sozialarbeitende einbezogen. Florian Günthert von der FH Esslingen schreibt in seinem Beitrag „Wie erlebt man Wohnungslosigkeit?“ aus der Perspektive eines Studenten über ein SUI Projekt. Aus der Recherche über Wohnungslosigkeit kam das Interesse zustande, die Stimmen derjenigen zu finden, die betroffen sind. Herausgekommen ist eine Blog-Website mit Aussagen und Berichten von interviewten Menschen und Textgrafiken. Ein weiterer Einblick aus der Lehre kommt aus der FH Potsdam von Olivia Aufschlag und Elena Sollmann. Sie berichten in dem Beitrag „Das Format der Werkstätten an der FH Potsdam – Forschungsfragen von Studierenden zu SUI“ von ihren Forschungsergebnissen über die Motivation von Service Usern, ihr Wissen mit angehenden Sozialarbeiter*innen zu teilen. Gerahmt wird der Beitrag durch eine kleine Einleitung zu dem Lehr-Lern-Format der Werkstatt von Marlene-Anne Dettmann. Katharina Scholz bietet in ihrem Beitrag „SUI-Talk mit Erfahrungsexpertinnen und Studentinnen der Sozialen Arbeit auf der Jahrestagung der DGSA“ eine kleine Nachlese zu unserem Panel. Zu Wort kommen dabei auch beteiligte Studentinnen der FH Esslingen und ihre Perspektive auf SUI. Zusätzlich gibt es noch Links zu weiteren Materialien. Sylvia Fahr-Armbruster, Conny Birkemeyer und Oscar Garcia stellen in ihrem Beitrag „Recovery College Stuttgart“ einen neuen Ort der „lebendigen Selbsthilfeszene“ vor. Nach dem Motto „Erfahrungswissen lebendig teilen“ laden Menschen mit Krankheitserfahrungen zum Austausch ein und sind offen für spannende Kooperationen mit Hochschulen. Mit dem Beitrag „SUI in Europa – persönliche Eindrücke aus Nottingham und Amsterdam“ teilt Marlene-Anne Dettmann ihre Beobachtungen zu den Entwicklungen im europäischen Raum, beispielsweise mit praktischen Umsetzungsideen und der sprachlichen Verwendung von „people with lived experience“. Am Ende des Newsletters finden Sie noch Hinweise über aktuelle Publikationen und anstehende Termine zum Thema Service User Involvement. Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim Lesen und freue mich auf Ihre Rückmeldungen und neuen Berichte.Unknow

    From Galician waters to cetacean stomachs, a feeding story told by preys

    34th European Cetacean Society Conference, O Grove, 16-20 April 2023Cetaceans play an important role in maintaining the health and stability of marine ecosystems. To understand the trophic relationships of these top predators in waters off the Northwest Iberian Peninsula, and to determine their possible competition with fisheries, the stomach contents of 751 common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), 60 striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), 124 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), and 72 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded on the Galician coast between 1990-2018 (almost 30 years) were analysed. Results indicated that their diets are mainly piscivorous (after identified 90 different taxa: 68 fish and 22 cephalopods), being the blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) and the European hake (Merluccius merluccius) the most important preys (in occurrence, number, and biomass) throughout all the years studied and for the four cetacean species. The long time series available allowed to detect interannual variation in the diet of both common dolphins and harbour porpoises by means of Generalised Additive Models (GAMs), observing an increase in the presence of European hake and a decrease of sardines (Sardina pilchardus) in the stomachs through time. Seasonal variation in the diets of the common and striped dolphins were also observed, with a higher consumption of blue whiting during the summer (May-September). Significant differences were found in the diet of the two bottlenose dolphin ecotypes present in Galicia, the coastal ecotype contains a higher percentage of demersal preys in the stomachs, while the oceanic ecotype contains more pelagic preys, confirming the habitat separation between the two. Results also confirmed an ontogenic variability in the diet of harbour porpoises, with juvenile animals showing a higher presence of coastal preys in the diet (e.g., pouting – Trisopterus luscus). There is an overlap between the diet of these four cetacean species and the fisheries‟ target species in the area, indicating competition for some resourcesN

    Burden of disease and lifestyle habits in adolescents and young adults prone to frequent episodic migraine: A secondary comparative analysis

    The objective of this study was to assess the burden of disease and prevalence of lifestyle factors for adolescents and young adults with frequent episodic migraine. We conducted a secondary comparative analysis of data collected during two previous studies. Inclusion criteria for this analysis were age 15-35~years, 15 to 44 migraine episodes within 12~weeks, and completeness of Migraine Disability Assessment and lifestyle questionnaire data. Datasets of 37 adults (median age interquartile range: 25 6) and 27 adolescents (median age interquartile range: 15 1) were analyzed. 81{\%} (n = 30) of adults reported severe disability (16{\%} n = 3 of adolescents; p 0.05). This study underlines the importance of educating adolescents and young adults with migraine about lifestyle habits that are likely to interfere with the condition

    Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of the upper trapezius muscles – assessment of myofascial trigger points in patients with migraine

    Abstract Background Research in migraine points towards central-peripheral complexity with a widespread pattern of structures involved. Migraine-associated neck and shoulder muscle pain has clinically been conceptualized as myofascial trigger points (mTrPs). However, concepts remain controversial, and the identification of mTrPs is mostly restricted to manual palpation in clinical routine. This study investigates a more objective, quantitative assessment of mTrPs by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with T2 mapping. Methods Ten subjects (nine females, 25.6 ± 5.2 years) with a diagnosis of migraine according to ICHD-3 underwent bilateral manual palpation of the upper trapezius muscles to localize mTrPs. Capsules were attached to the skin adjacent to the palpated mTrPs for marking. MRI of the neck and shoulder region was performed at 3 T, including a T2-prepared, three-dimensional (3D) turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence. The T2-prepared 3D TSE sequence was used to generate T2 maps, followed by manual placement of regions of interest (ROIs) covering the trapezius muscles of both sides and signal alterations attributable to mTrPs. Results The trapezius muscles showed an average T2 value of 27.7 ± 1.4 ms for the right and an average T2 value of 28.7 ± 1.0 ms for the left side (p = 0.1055). Concerning signal alterations in T2 maps attributed to mTrPs, nine values were obtained for the right (32.3 ± 2.5 ms) and left side (33.0 ± 1.5 ms), respectively (p = 0.0781). When comparing the T2 values of the trapezius muscles to the T2 values extracted from the signal alterations attributed to the mTrPs of the ipsilateral side, we observed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0039). T2 hyperintensities according to visual image inspection were only reported in four subjects for the right and in two subjects for the left side. Conclusions Our approach enables the identification of mTrPs and their quantification in terms of T2 mapping even in the absence of qualitative signal alterations. Thus, it (1) might potentially challenge the current gold-standard method of physical examination of mTrPs, (2) could allow for more targeted and objectively verifiable interventions, and (3) could add valuable models to understand better central-peripheral mechanisms in migraine
