Mounting device

The present invention relates to a mounting device (9) for a hanging installation of a household appliance (1, 101), specifi5 cally for a lateral fixation of a household appliance (1), in particular for an extractor hood. The mounting device (9) comprises a first portion (13) and a second portion (11). The first portion (13) is connectable or connected with a frame surface or a housing wall of the household appliance (1). The second por10 tion (11) is attachable or attached to a wall, in particular to a kitchen furniture wall, and comprises an engagement opening or a suspension edge or surface. The first portion (13) is connected or connectable with the frame surface or housing wall in such way that the engagement opening or the suspension edge or sur15 face is or comprises a section, preferably a final section (15), directed to the rear side of the household appliance (1). Alternatively, instead of first and second portions (11, 13), the mounting device (1) comprises a first and a second part. The 20 first part comprises a fitting aperture, which is opened to the top for an insertion of a lower end or a lower section (147) of a suspension bracket (127) and which includes at least one lateral support surface for a lateral support of said lower end or lower section (147). The second part comprises a latching ele25 ment (149), which engages or is adapted to engage with said suspension bracket (127). The invention further relates to an assembly unit for a laterally fixable household appliance (1), an assembly unit for a hang30 ing installation of a household appliance (1), a laterally fixable household appliance (1) and a method for performing its installation

Household appliance

The present invention is related to a household appliance (1) comprising an illumination means for providing information to a user of the household appliance (1). A lighting intensity of the 5 illumination means of the household appliance (1) is modifiable. According to the invention, the illumination means is positioned under or behind a blackened or dark glass plate (5) or window and invisible when switched off and visible through the glass 10 plate (5) or window when switched on. Further, a control unit is included, which is configured to gradually modify the lighting intensity upon recognition of a status change of a device or unit of the household appliance (1) performed or initiated by the user of the household appliance (1). 15 Moreover, a method for operating a household appliance (1) is disclosed. Upon recognition of a status change of a device or unit of the household appliance (1) performed by the user, the lighting intensity of the illumination means illuminating a 20 treatment area (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) of the household appliance (1) and/or illuminating a user interface zone or element (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) is modified

Cooking Method and Cooking System

A method for boil detection in a cooking utensil is disclosed which comprises: (a) generating a low range vibration function that is representative for vibrations having a frequency that falls in a range of frequencies having an upper limit of from 75 to 120 Hz, and a lower limit of from 0 to 25 Hz ; (b) evaluating at least one characteristic of the low range vibration function; and (c) determining boiling in dependency of said at least one characteristic

Current Indications for Surgical Repair in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Ascending Aortic Ectasia

Preventive surgical repair of the moderately dilated ascending aorta/aortic root in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is controversial. Most international reference centers are currently proposing a proactive approach for BAV patients with a maximum ascending aortic/root diameter of 45 mm since the risk of dissection/rupture raises significantly with an aneurysm diameter >50 mm. Current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the joint guidelines of the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) recommend elective repair in symptomatic patients with dysfunctional BAV (aortic diameter ≥45 mm). In asymptomatic patients with a well-functioning BAV, elective repair is recommended for diameters ≥50 mm, or if the aneurysm is rapidly progressing (rate of 5 mm/year), or in case of a strong family history of dissection/rupture/sudden death, or with planned pregnancy. As diameter is likely not the most reliable predictor of rupture and dissection and the majority of BAV patients may never experience an aortic catastrophe at small diameters, an overly aggressive approach almost certainly will put some patients with BAV unnecessarily at risk of operative and early mortality. This paper discusses the indications for preventive, elective repair of the aortic root, and ascending aorta in patients with a BAV and a moderately dilated—or ectatic—ascending aorta

Risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in antidepressant drug users

Conflicting results have been reported regarding the association between antidepressant use and out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) risk. We investigated whether the use of antidepressants is associated with OHCA. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide nested case–control study to assess the association of individual antidepressant drugs within drug classes with the hazard of OHCA. Cases were defined as OHCA from presumed cardiac causes. Cox regression with time‐dependent exposure and time‐dependent covariates was conducted to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) overall and in subgroups defined by established cardiac disease and cardiovascular risk factors. Also, we studied antidepressants with and without sodium channel blocking or potassium channel blocking properties separately. RESULTS: During the study period from 2001 to 2015 we observed 10 987 OHCA cases, and found increased OHCA rate for high‐dose citalopram (>20 mg) and high‐dose escitalopram (>10 mg; HR:1.46 [95% CI:1.27–1.69], HR:1.43 [95% CI:1.16–1.75], respectively) among selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (reference drug sertraline), and for high‐dose mirtazapine (>30; HR:1.59 [95% CI:1.18–2.14]) among the serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors or noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (reference drug duloxetine). Among tricyclic antidepressants (reference drug amitriptyline), no drug was associated with significantly increased OHCA rate. Increased OHCA rate was found for antidepressants with known potassium channel blocking properties (HR:1.14 [95% CI:1.05–1.23]), but for not those with sodium channel blocking properties. Citalopram, although not statistically significant, and mirtazapine were associated with increased OHCA rate in patients without cardiac disease and cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that careful titration of citalopram, escitalopram and mirtazapine dose may have to be considered due to drug safety issues
