Applied Geoinformatics for Sustainable Integrated Land and Water Resources Management (ILWRM) in the Brahmaputra River basin -...

The central theme of this book is focused on the analyses and the results which emerged from the international research project BRAHMATWINN sponsored by European Commission (EC) and conducted during 2006 - 2009. The book highlights the achievements of BRAHMATWINN to carry out a harmonised integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach as addressed by the European Water Initiative (EWI) in headwater river systems of alpine mountain massifs. The latter are already impacted from climate change, and the BRAHMATWINN project established transfer of professional IWRM expertise, approaches and tools based on case studies carried out in twinning European and Asian river basins. The project addresses all important IWRM issues in a balanced way, including conflict resolution in the trans- boundary Danube and Brahmaputra River Basins in Europe and South Asia respectively. This book will be useful to researchers, professionals, managers and decision makers associated with study and application of sustainable integrated land and water resources management (ILWRM) in the backdrop of climate change.

Advances in heart surgical treatment have been impressive in the last 15 years. In end-stage heart disease, procedures are now performed routinely which were only experimental one or two decades ago. Heart transplantation has become a well-established procedure. According to the Gen eral Registry of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation. 40,738 heart transplantations had been performed through the end of 1997 with survival rates of 78 % at one year, 65 % at five years, and 42 % at ten years. The progress in this field has been due to intense efforts in understanding and modulating immune responses to the trans planted heart, to elaborate therapeutic strategies to constrain infections, and to improved out-patient care. Accordingly, heart transplantation is integrated into the facilities of the health care systems, the routine of physicians, and the awareness of patients. The resulting increase in potential organ recipients has not been met, however, by an equivalent increase of available donor organs. This increasing discrepancy has forced the technical improvement and clinical evalua tion of mechanical circulatory support systems as an option for treatment of critically ill patients with a failing heart. Initially, these assist devices were only used to maintain sufficient circulation in post-cardiotomy heart failure until myocardial function had recov ered. Since the late 1980s, their primary use has been that of bridging patients with heart failure until a suitable organ is available so that heart transplantation can be performed."

Die Herztransplantation ist in den zurtickliegenden 20 Jahren von einer experi- mentellen Methode zu einem etablierten Behandlungsverfahren fur Patienten mit terminalem Herzversagen gereift. Wir konnen mittlerweile weltweit auf 57818 erfolgreiche Transplantationen zurtickschauen (lSHLT Registry Report 200I) und bezogen auf die Ara zwischen 1980 und 1989 wird ein Ftlnf-Jahres-Uberleben von 65,2% und ein Zehn-Jahres-Uberleben von 45,8% berichtet. 1m Deutschen Herzzentrum Berlin tiberblicken wir zum Ende des Jahres 2003 dartiber hinaus nun bereits 56 Patienten, welche Hinger als 15 Jahre mit einem transplantierten Herzen leben. Dieser Erfolg ist zuruckzufuhren auf immense Fortschritte im Ver- standnis der immunologischen AbstoBungsprozesse und deren Supprimierung, die Optimierung der therapeutischen Strategien in der Infektionsbekampfung und die Verbesserung der umfassenden ambulanten Behandlung von Folgeerkrankungen wie beispielsweise Nierenproblemen oder Tumoren. Der Erfolg einer Herztransplantation ist allerdings nicht allein von somatischen Einflussfaktoren abhangig, sondem wird wesentlich mitbestimmt durch tiefgehen- de psychische Prozesse in den Patienten, die beginnend mit der Wahmehmung ihrer lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankung tiber das Ertragen abnehmender korperlicher und seelischer Leistungsfahigkeit in der Warteperiode bis zur Transplantation oft krisenhaft verlaufen. In der frtihpostoperativen Phase konnen neuartige Stressoren hinzutreten wie beispielsweise passagere himorganische Syndrome und im Wei- teren gilt es sich auf ein Leben mit dem neuen Organ einzustellen und sich wie- der in ein . norrnales" Leben einzugliedem. Diese Aufgaben fordem den Patien- ten eine groBe Flexibilitat ab; sie mtissen innere Konflikte bewaltigen und sich mit den Veranderungen im aulseren Umkreis, in ihrer Familie, dem sozialen Um- feld und dem Berufsleben auseinandersetzen.
