To ASLO or Not to ASLO: Utility of the ASLO Test in Dermatology

We showed a higher prevalence of positive ASLO tests in psoriasis and erythema nodosum cases and a lower prevalence in vasculitis. Notably, ASLO was positive in all psoriasis subtypes, suggesting high utility of the test for psoriasis.PMID:38616666 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)

Underfunding of German university-based high-performance medicine exemplified by the treatment of varices in cirrhosis
This study examines whether university-based high-performance medicine is efficient and cost-covering within the framework of the G-DRG system. We demonstrate a dramatic underfunding of the management of varicose veins in cirrhosis in our university center. It is therefore generally questionable whether and to what extent an adequate care for this patient collective is reflected in the G-DRG system.PMID:38616470 | DOI:10.1016/j.zefq.2024.03.003 (Source: Zeitschrift fur Evidenz, Fortbildung und Qualitat im Gesundheitswesen)

Implementing spiritual care education into the teaching of palliative medicine: an outcome evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that implementing spiritual care education following an interprofessional approach into existing medical curricula, e.g. palliative medicine, is feasible and well perceived among medical students. Students do not wish for a seminar which solely revolves around spiritual care but prefer a close link to clinical practice and strategies.PMID:38622620 | DOI:10.1186/s12909-024-05415-0 (Source: Pain Physician)
