Zusammenfassung
Operationen aus dem Fachgebiet der Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Heilkunde zählen zu den häufigsten operativen Eingriffen im Kindesalter. Die Tonsillenchirurgie mit oder ohne Adenotomie aufgrund ...einer adenotonsillären Hyperplasie mit Obstruktion der oberen Atemwege in Kombination mit oder ohne Belüftungsstörung des Mittelohrs ist bei diesen Eingriffen führend. Kinder mit obstruktiver Schlafapnoe (OSA) haben hierbei ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko, perioperativ respiratorische Komplikationen zu erleiden. Es wurde über Todesfälle und bleibende neurologische Schäden aufgrund von Apnoe und einer erhöhten Opioidsensibilität berichtet. Die vorliegende Leitlinie stellt einen risikoadjustierten pragmatischen Ansatz dar. Patienten mit bestätigter oder vermuteter OSA sollen perioperativ entsprechend ihren individuellen Risiken und Bedürfnissen behandelt und überwacht werden, um schwere bleibende Schäden zu verhindern.

Current machine learning models have shown high efficiency in solving a wide variety of real-world problems. However, their black box character poses a major challenge for the comprehensibility and traceability of the underlying decision-making strategies. As a remedy, numerous post-hoc and self-explanation methods have been developed to interpret the models’ behavior. Those methods, in addition, enable the identification of artifacts that, inherent in the training data, can be erroneously learned by the model as class-relevant features. In this work, we provide a detailed case study of a representative for the state-of-the-art self-explaining network, ProtoPNet, in the presence of a spectrum of artifacts. Accordingly, we identify the main drawbacks of ProtoPNet, especially its coarse and spatially imprecise explanations. We address these limitations by introducing Prototypical Relevance Propagation (PRP), a novel method for generating more precise model-aware explanations. Furthermore, in order to obtain a clean, artifact-free dataset, we propose to use multi-view clustering strategies for segregating the artifact images using the PRP explanations, thereby suppressing the potential artifact learning in the models.
Electron identification in the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will be performed using a gaseous RICH detector. Due to the UV ...transparency of the CO sub(2) radiator, a high photon detection efficiency of the PMTs in use at small wavelengths is favourable. The use of wavelength shifting (WLS) films aims at increasing the integral quantum efficiency of the photon sensors. WLS films absorb UV photons and re-emit photons at longer wavelengths where the quantum efficiency of common photocathodes is higher. As photon sensors, multianode PMTs (MAPMTs) with bialkali or superbialkali photocathodes and UV-extended windows are envisaged. We present quantum efficiency measurements with and without WLS coating for different types of MAPMTs as well as results from a beam test at the CERN PS. An increased photon yield was observed when using WLS films. In addition, we discuss the effect of WLS films on the spatial resolution of MAPMTs.

The upgraded HADES RICH detector, as well as the future CBM RICH detector, will both use the same Hamamatsu H12700 Multianode PMTs read out by the newly developed DiRICH FPGA-TDC readout chain for ...MAPMTs and MCPs. The upgrade of the HADES RICH photon detector has meanwhile been completed, and we are now looking forward to the upcoming physics run in spring 2019. A brief overview on the status of both detector projects is given and supplemented with the recent test-beam results which confirmed the functionality of the DiRICH development before the start of the mass-production of all DiRICH components needed for the HADES RICH upgrade.
