Simulation of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe in the lipid-lowering treatment pathway in Austria using the contemporary SANTORINI cohort of high and very high risk patients
CONCLUSIONS: The SANTORINI real-world data in Austria suggest that a proportion of high and very high-risk patients remain below the guideline-recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goals. Optimising use of oral ezetimibe and bempedoic acid after statins in the lipid-lowering pathway could result in substantially more patients attaining low-density lipoprotein cholesterol goals, likely with additional health benefits.PMID:37286910 | DOI:10.1007/s00508-023-02221-4 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Molecular pathogen screening of louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) from domestic and wild ruminants in Austria
Hippoboscid flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), also known as louse flies or keds, are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of animals, and accidentally of humans. The potential role of hippoboscids as vectors of ... (Source: Parasites and Vectors)

A Practical Approach to Cosmetic Tattoo Removal with the Nd:YAG Laser
Curr Probl Dermatol. 2022;56:259-267. doi: 10.1159/000521483. Epub 2023 Jun 1.ABSTRACTThe Q-switched neodymium-yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser remains the gold standard method for tattoo removal including cosmetic tattoos. Modern picosecond lasers are referenced to the Nd:YAG laser and essentially do the same job. Persons with cosmetic tattoos in the face are especially eager to achieve perfect removal or correction and from start are critical to suboptimal results. Customers mostly request complete removal; sometimes the goal is fast treatment and bleaching to prepare for a cover up tattoo. Removal or correction o...

Screening for colorectal cancer : A  recommendation statement of the Austrian National Committee for Cancer Screening
Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2023 May 31. doi: 10.1007/s00508-023-02209-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Austria. To date, colorectal cancer screening in Austria remains opportunistic and includes colonoscopy or stool-based blood tests. The Austrian National Committee for Cancer Screening developed evidence-based recommendations for a nationwide organized colorectal cancer screening program.METHODS: The methodological framework followed the approach of the United States Preventive Services Task Force. The evidence base underlying the newly developed recommendations...

The history of circadian rhythm research in Austria
Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2023 May 31. doi: 10.1007/s00508-023-02199-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn view of the recent revival of interest in circadian biology and circadian epidemiology at the Medical University of Vienna, it seems appropriate to highlight the rich and pioneering history of circadian research in Austria. Among the forefathers of circadian research in Vienna are Otto Marburg (1874-1948), who discovered important elements of the pineal gland physiology, Robert Hofstätter (1883-1970), who used pineal gland extract in obstetrics/gynecology, and Paul Engel (1907-1997), who discovered that the pineal gland wa...
