MS 02: Preclinical and clinical radiotracer imaging of the hearing system organized by Georg Berding, Martin Mamach

The pathophysiologic basis of the partly limited restoration of the hearing system after auditory implantation is not sufficiently understood. The suggested mini-symposium focusses on the application of radiotracer imaging as a minimally invasive in vivo approach to gain functional or molecular information for improving the understanding and ultimately the results after implantation. The mini-symposium will give an overview on the subject in two respects: 1. Methods 2. Applications. The following questions will be addressed.

With regard to methods radiopharmaceuticals are a key issue. Which radiotracers are already available to measure processes relevant for hearing (e.g. neuronal activity, transmission or inflammation)? How can effective radiotracer production for use in patients be achieved? In which way are new radiotracers validated? A further aspect is imaging itself. What are the limits of imaging with respect to spatial resolution and contrast recovery – using dedicated scanners for animals or humans? What can be achieved in data analysis e.g. with regard to automated anatomical labeling, statistical parametric mapping and bio-kinetic modelling?

Concerning applications, it will be elaborated first, which animal models are available to study the hearing system and its disorders, e.g. age related hearing loss. Which knowledge acquisition can be obtained based on radiotracer imaging in these animal models? Secondly, the application in humans for precision diagnostics will be elaborated, in particular for the assessment of prognosis and optimization of rehabilitation in connection with auditory implantation.

Topics of interest:

• Radiopharmaceuticals for imaging the hearing system (Tobias Ross)• Quantitative radiotracer studies of the hearing system (Martin Mamach)• Knowledge gain from preclinical radiotracer studies in hearing research

(Mariella Kessler)• Insights from radiotracer studies in auditory implantation (Georg Berding)

MS 04: Biodegradable Materials: From Alloy Design to In Vivo Testing organized by Hans Jürgen Maier, Andrea Meyer-Lindenberg

There is an increasing trend to used absorbable metallic materials in medical applications, as these provide for higher strength than their polymer-based counterparts do. Following extensive basic research, some absorbable alloys are now on the verge to widespread commercial use as well. Still there are substantial challenges in the field. The key issues include tailoring both the mechanical properties and the degradation behaviour to the specific location within the body. Ideally, a biocompatible alloy should fully disintegrate after a given time period without no side effects. Unfortunately, degradation rates determined in in vitro tests typically cannot be used to accurately predict the in vivo behaviour of an actual implant. Clearly, the process of selection of an alloy and design of an implant to prediction of the in-service behaviour and the validation of the properties requires an interdisciplinary approach. The mini-symposium will provide a setting for all those interested in basic aspects and applications of biodegradable materials to discuss. Especially young scientists are encouraged to contribute to the mini-symposium.

Topics of interest:

• Alloy development• Processing• Degradation behaviour• Modelling• In vitro and In vivo testing• Applications

MS 05: 3D Bioprinting: State of art and new emerging trends organized by Boris Chichkov, Vladimir Mironov

Rapidly evolving field of 3D bioprinting is a biomedical version of layer by layer additive manufacturing technology. 3D bioprinting could be defined as a robotic additive biofabrication of 3D tissue and organ constructs using biomaterials and living cells according to digital models. The 3D bioprinting technology promises to solve urgent clinical problems of shortage of human tissues and organs for transplantation. It will help to develop new authentic histo- and organotypical models of human diseases and in vitro models for drug discovery and toxicology.

There are three main emerging 3D bioprinting technologies: i) inkjet bioprinting, ii) extrusion-based bioprinting, and iii) laser-based bioprinting. At this symposium, the state of art of these 3D bioprinting technologies will be presented and discussed by leading experts. Special attention will be given to the development of bioincs for 3D bioprinting - one of the hottest research topics in 3D bioprinting. Finally, new research trends in 3D bioprinting, such as hybrid bioprinting, in situ bioprinting, etc. will be discussed.

The symposium will provide comprehensive analysis of 3D bioprinting technologies by outlining new directions in this field including clinical translation and commercialisation aspects.

MS 07: Auditory Implantsorganized by Thomas Lenarz

Auditory Implants have undergone rapid development over the last three decades. Today they offer a wide spectrum for auditory rehabilitation for all types and grades of hearing loss. Future developments are directing towards advanced implants with added biological components such as drugs, cells and nano particles. The aim at restoring and modulating the cochlear environment is for hearing preservation and regeneration. Adding sensors and recording electrodes along the auditory pathway, these implants will become closed loop systems for automated adaptation to the special acoustic environment will be able to sense early biological changes at the tissue interface and by using artificial intelligence will self-optimize the auditory performance in recipients.

The symposium will provide a comprehensive overview on state of the art and recent developments.

MS 09: Clinical relevance and simulation of biological and mechanical influencing factors on dental and biomedical implantsorganized by Andreas Greuling, Meike Stiesch

In modern medicine implant treatment, e.g. dental implants or orthopedic implants are frequently used in multifarious indications. Many patients suffer from tooth decay or even tooth loss which requires dental treatment.

Several factors can influence the long term success of medical and dental implants: bone quantity and quality, biofilm formation, mechanical loading, type of implant system, prosthetic construction tissue-integration and anchorage. For sustainable restorations, one should keep these factors in mind, which can have a significant impact on biomechanical properties and long term prognosis of implants.

In this context in silico studies can speed up research and development for medical implants and/or restorative solutions, and can also address topics which are too complex to be studied solely by means of physical experiments. This mini-symposium aims to bring together scientists from various communities in order to develop new interdisciplinary strategies for the improvement in the long term success of medical implants and restorations.

Topics of Interest:

The topics to be discussed in the mini-symposium include:

• Ceramic materials and their medical use• FE-simulation of different ceramic materials depending on their indication• Dental implants – case reports, indications and limitations• FE-simulation of loaded dental implants correlated to the design of the

suprastructure• In vitro systems of oral biofilms• Numerical simulations of biofilm development

Keywords: In silico studies, Biofilms, Ceramics, Implants, Dentistry

MS 10: Computational Vascular Biomechanics organized by T. Christian Gasser, Stephane Avril

Simulations of the vascular mechanical system and its interaction with the biological processes can advance the understanding of physiological and pathological mechanisms and may open a door to the development of new treatment options and medical devices. Mechanical concepts are challenged by quite a few aspects when applied to problems that incorporate living tissue material and in vivo patient specific geometries: There usually exist a large uncertainty and variation in material properties, difficulties in length-scale separation, a lack of access to samples for experimental testing, a clear definition of a reference frame, difficulties in geometry capturing and the mechano-biochemical interplay, just to name a few. Towards building trust and applicability of computational models to real world clinical questions and problems, such challenges need to be addressed.

Topics of Interest:

Therefore, this minisymposium focuses on aspects, such as:

• Uncertainty quantification and large patient cohorts• Inverse methods and parameter identification• Reduced order models of clinical relevance• Patient-specific constitutive modeling• Multifield methods in a patient-specific context• Multiscale methods applied to real world problems• Integrated imaging & computation approaches• Development and validation of boundary conditions• Real-time computational mechanics.

MS 11: Neural Interfacesorganized by Waldo Nogueira, Andreas Büchner

Recent advances in engineering, computing and neuroscience are contributing to novel approaches to recover human senses and to treat neurological and mental disorders as well as understanding various function of the brain. These new approaches are based on the ability to stimulate and record neural activity with increased accuracy. New technologies including stimulation and recording devices as well as computational models permit the expansion and understanding of neural interfaces, devices that interact with the nervous system to restore or enable sensory and motor function. Examples of successful neural interfaces include cochlear implants for hearing impaired people, retinal implants for the blind, and devices for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and other motor symptoms. This session will include review studies and novel contributions in the field of retinal, cochlear and central auditory implants, deep brain stimulation implants as well as cortical stimulation and recording devices. Bringing researchers together from different disciplines working in different applications will bring synergistic effects and offer the opportunity to learn from each other’s field. Computational models may include:

• Electrical and mechanical stimulation through neuroprosthetics• Neural activity recording and modeling• Higher level perceptual models of hearing, vision and motor function• Personalization of neural prosthetics• Optimization of neural prosthetics based on computation models

Shaping the Future with Knowledge – as one of the nine leading Institutes of Technology in Germany, Leibniz University is aware of its responsibility in seeking sustainable, peaceful and responsible solutions to the key issues of tomorrow.Our expertise for this stems from the broad spectrum of subjects, ranging from engineering and natural sciences to architecture and environmental planning, from law and economics to social sciences and humanities.

At Leibniz University there are currently almost 30,000 students studying in nine faculties, and some 3,100 researchers working in more than 180 institutes. The main building of the university is the Royal Palace Welfenschloss at the Welfengarten. Our internationally visible core research topics are in mechanical engineering, in quantum optics and gravitational physics, in biomedical research and in teacher training. The broad range of subjects at Leibniz University is entirely compatible with an overall university strategy of raising its profile, in particular of teaching and research, including the establishment and enhancement of research priority areas originating in the humanities and social sciences. Cooperation agreements with national and international partners strengthen our scientific expertise – our most important partner is Hannover Medical School (MHH). By adopting the name of the polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 2006, the university committed itself to unity in its diversity.

Venue

Hannover Medical School

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Hannover Medical School (MHH) is internationally renowned for hosting the world’s largest cochlear implant (CI) programme to treat severely hearing impaired patients. To date, more than 10,000 people have received a CI here. One of our priority areas, therefore, is provision of hearing systems – from the development of the devices themselves to lifelong support for our patients. Together, the German Hearing Center Hannover and the scientific laboratories form the joint platform for these activities.Other priority areas include hearing-aid fitting (and improving this process), the early identification of hearing loss in children, diagnosis and treatment of inner-ear diseases including tinnitus, skull base surgery including treatment of acoustic neu¬roma, tumour surgery using modern laser surgical and endoscopic techniques, di¬seases of the nose and sinuses, covering allergology, environmental medicine and plastic/reconstructive techniques.Our Department has six wards with a total of 90 beds. Each year we treat around 25,000 outpatients and just under 6,000 inpatients. A highly motivated and specialised team is available, with more than 200 staff – including 30 doctors, 20 nurses, nine education professionals and speech therapists, 20 technical staff and 30 scientists.Our case numbers: more than 600 cochlear implants, 85 middle-ear implants and 100 acoustic neuromas in 2018.

A nationwide first at MHH’s ENT Department: in autumn 2011, for the first time in Germany (and only the fourth time in the world) a patient was successfully implanted with MED-EL’s new ‘bone bridge’ system. In 2015 we were the first in Germany to implant successfully the first Oticon Medical CI.
