International specialists in Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Internal Medicine, Cardiology Immunology, Pneumonology, Neurology and Epidemiology gathered to this workshop to discuss and enhance interdisciplinary knowledge on the possible etiological role of Chlamydia pneumoniae, a widespread human respiratory infection, in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases with major public health impact such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, adult-onset asthma bronchiale, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, reactive arthritis, morbus Alzheimer and multiple sclerosis. Current deficits and goals in the standardisation of diagnostic tools, basic and applied research, design of epidemiological and monitoring of therapy studies were identified. A special feature of this book is the comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art review articles in the various fields with many references.

»Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht« wurde am Heiligabend 1818 zum ersten Mal gesungen, in einer Zeit des Hungers und der Not im Salzburger Land. Als Gelegenheitsdichtung eines Priesters und schnell hingeschriebene Komposition eines Kirchenmusikers sollte das Lied eigentlich keinen Bestand haben. Dennoch trat es dann einen Siegeszug um die ganze Welt an und machte auch seine Schöpfer Joseph Mohr und Franz Xaver Gruber berühmt. Heute ist »Stille Nacht« das weltweit populärste Weihnachtslied – in seiner Ergriffenheit unübertroffen und in seinem textlichen wie musikalischen Ausdruck Inbegriff alpenländischer Weihnacht, Harmonie und Innerlichkeit. Spannend geschrieben und auf Basis von Quellen und neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen zusammengetragen, zeichnet André Uzulis die Entstehung und Verbreitung dieses Liedes nach.
