Empirische Studien

Zusammenfassung. Die Vorverlegung des Fremdsprachenunterrichts von der Sekundar- in die Primarstufe ist im europäischen Bildungsraum innerhalb der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte annähernd flächendeckend umgesetzt worden. Grundlage dieser Politik des frühen Fremdsprachenlernens ist die Annahme, dass Kinder besser Sprachen lernten, je jünger sie seien. Der Frühbeginn soll damit neben dem erhöhten Sprachkontakt durch zusätzlichen Unterricht ( amount of exposure) auch den Vorteil größerer Lernerfolge durch geringes Alter bei Beginn ( age of onset) bieten. Der vorliegende Beitrag fasst den aktuellen Forschungsstand zusammen und beschreibt einschlägige empirische Studien, die sich mit den Effekten des Frühbeginns auseinandersetzen. Die Befundlage erweist sich dabei als ernüchternd: Der Frühbeginn führt weder zu mittel- noch zu langfristigen Vorteilen. Auch wenn die Leistungen am Ende der Grundschulzeit zufriedenstellend sind, können die höheren Lernraten bei Spätbeginn die zusätzliche Lernzeit bei Frühbeginn in den meisten Fällen vollständig kompensieren. Mögliche Erklärungsansätze hinsichtlich der Qualität des Fremdsprachenunterrichts, der Ausbildung von Grundschullehrkräften sowie des Übergangs in die Sekundarstufe werden diskutiert.

Prevalence Estimates

SummaryThe paper presents an overview of the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative and summarizes recent WMH results regarding the prevalence and societal costs of mental disorders. The WMH surveys are representative community surveys that were carried out in 28 countries throughout the world aimed at providing information to mental health policy makers about the prevalence, burden, and unmet need for treatment of common mental disorders. Results show that mental disorders are commonly occurring in all participating countries. The inter-quartile range (IQR: 25th-75th percentiles) of lifetime DSM-IV disorder prevalence estimates (combining anxiety, mood, disruptive behavior, and substance disorders) is 18.1-36.1%. The IQR of 12-month prevalence estimates is 9.8-19.1%. Analysis of age-of-onset reports shows that many mental disorders begin in childhood-adolescence and have significant adverse effects on subsequent role transitions. Adult mental disorders are found in the WMH data to be associated with high levels of role impairment. Despite this burden, the majority of mental disorders go untreated. Although these results suggest that expansion of treatment could be cost-effective from both the employer perspective and the societal perspective, treatment effectiveness trials are needed to confirm this suspicion. The WMH results regarding impairments are being used to target several such interventions.

Introduction: OS, a common Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS)-associated neoplasm, is a common bone malignancy of children and adolescents. Sporadic OS is also characterized by young age of onset and high genomic instability, suggesting a genetic contribution to disease. This study examined the contribution of novel DNA structural variation elements, CNVs, to OS susceptibility. Given our finding of excessive constitutional DNA CNV in LFS patients, which often coincide with cancer-related genes, we hypothesized that constitutional CNV may also provide clues about the aetiology of LFS-related sporadic neoplasms like OS. Methods: CNV in blood DNA of 26 patients with sporadic OS was compared to that of 263 normal control samples from the International HapMap project, as well as 62 local controls. Analysis was performed on DNA hybridized to Affymetrix genome-wide human SNP array 6.0 by Partek Genomic Suite. Results: There was no detectable difference in average number of CNVs, CNV length, and total structural variation (product of average CNV number and length) between individuals with OS and controls. While this data is preliminary (small sample size), it argues against the presence of constitutional genomic instability in individuals with sporadic OS. Conclusion: We found that the majority of tumours from patients with sporadic OS show CN loss at chr3q13.31, raising the possibility that chr3q13.31 may represent a “driver” region in OS aetiology. In at least one OS tumour, which displays CN loss at chr3q13.31, we demonstrate decreased expression of a known tumour suppressor gene located at chr3q13.31. We are investigating the role ofchr3q13.31 in development of OS.

Dystonia refers to an involuntary, repetitive, sustained, painful and twisting movements of the affected body part. This movement disorder was first described in 1911 by Hermain Oppenheim, and many studies have been conducted to understand the mechanism, the diagnosis and the treatment of dystonia ever since. However, there are still many unexplained aspects of this phenomenon. Dystonia is diagnosed by clinical manifestations, and various classifications are recommended for the diagnosis and the treatment. Anatomic classification, which is based on the muscle groups involved, is the most helpful classification model to plan the course of the treatment. Dystonias can also be classified based on the age of onset and the cause. These dystonic syndromes can be present without an identified etiology or they can be clinical manifestations of a neurodegenerative or neurometabolic disease. In this review we summarized the differential diagnosis, definition, classifications, possible mechanisms and treatment choices of dystonia.
