In 1864, the worldwide oldest journal in an area of the later established specialty of otorhinolaryngology was founded as the German Archiv für Ohrenheilkunde (“Archive of Otology”) by its first editors Anton von Tröltsch (Würzburg), Adam Politzer (Vienna), and Hermann Schwartze (Halle/S.). Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) topics had previously been published in universal medical journals. In the next few decades, numerous journals in the field of ENT were founded, the eventful history of which is presented up to the present day. Particular attention is paid to the historical and personal context of the editors of newly founded magazines and their publishers. The journal landscape, which was changing through acquisitions and mergers of publishers, is described in detail. The merging of the specialties of otology and laryngo-rhinology in Germany, which lasted until the 1920s, had a profound influence on journal titles and contents. An attempt is made to present the most important titles in their historical development. All the important editors of the German ENT journals are mentioned, although it was not possible to include the names of the editors of the current journals, which are becoming more and more numerous. One chapter deals exclusively with the development of journal publishers. The inserted tables and figures will help to resolve some of the confusion caused by repeated similar names of journals by showing their historical development.
The new larynx model allows the simulation of typical surgical situations. Surgeons in training can practice even difficult surgical procedures at low costs and without putting patients at risk, before carrying out the procedure on patients.
Befindet sich ein Unternehmen in einem Entwicklungsprozess, stellt sich regelmäßig die Frage nach den Verwertungsmöglichkeiten. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei die Entscheidung, welche Produkteigenschaften am gewinnbringendsten vermarktet werden können. Schafft man es, die noch im Entwicklungsprozess befindliche Technologie frühzeitig auf betriebswirtschaftliche sowie rechtliche Risiken und Chancen zu bewerten, können diese Erkenntnisse kosteneffizient in der laufenden Forschungsplanung und ‐steuerung berücksichtigt werden. Damit sollen Verwertungsmöglichkeiten berücksichtigt sowie Rentabilität und Gewinnaussichten abgeschätzt werden. Man bedient sich hierbei einzelner Instrumente der Patent‐ und Erfindungsbewertung.Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird die Integration von Verwertungsstrategien in der Produktentwicklung im Bereich der Medizintechnik vorgestellt. Am Beispiel der Entwicklung eines interventionsfähigen Kehlkopf‐Modells zur laserchirurgischen Fachausbildung werden technische, betriebswirtschaftliche und rechtliche Bewertungsaspekte zusammengeführt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
