No Differences in Testis Cancer Outcomes between urban and rural regions in the Canton of Berne
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2024 Jan;113(1):12-14.ABSTRACTTestis cancer is highly curable. However, historical data point to differences between urban and rural areas with more advanced diseases at presentation and worse outcomes in the latter. In a cohort of 296 men with testis cancer diagnosed and treated at the Inselspital Berne between 2010 and 2020, we found no clinically relevant differences in presentation and outcomes depending on their residential area.PMID:38381104 (Source: Praxis)

Do All Very Old Patients Benefit from Osteoporosis Drug Treatment?
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2024 Jan;113(1):15-19.ABSTRACTOsteoanabolic osteoporosis drugs have become better available. The osteoanabolic therapeutic principle has a stronger, faster-onset fracture-reducing effect than the antiresorptive preparations. It has also been newly recognized that the significance of a first fragility fracture as a risk factor is time-dependent: the less time that has elapsed since the first fracture, the higher the resulting re-fracture risk. Patients older than 65 years whose index fragility fracture occurred less than two years before are therefore grouped in a separate "Imminent Fracture Risk" catego...

Lifelong Mask Mandate
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2024 Jan;113(1):20-22.ABSTRACTA 31-year-old farmer is being treated for suspected pneumonia. As the symptoms persist despite antibiotic treatment, the suspicion of hypersensitivity pneumonitis type Farmer´s lung arises after taking into account the patients occupational history. Information from various examination modalities and the clinical course confirm the suspected diagnosis. Thanks to the rapid diagnosis and the measures taken as a result, it was possible for the patient to remain in his profession.PMID:38381106 (Source: Praxis)

Panhypopituitarism, Diabetes Insipidus and Bone Pain - Is There a Systemic Disease Behind it?
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2024 Jan;113(1):23-26.ABSTRACTA 27-year-old man presented due to unilateral leg pain. He had a history of diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism. Laboratory analysis revealed hormonal undersupply. MRI showed a large contrast medium-absorbing mass in the pituitary gland extending into the hypothalamus. FDG-PET/CT examination revealed a hypermetabolic soft tissue lesion around the left femoral shaft. After biopsy of the lesion, a diagnosis of multisystemic Langerhans cell histiocytosis was made.PMID:38381107 (Source: Praxis)

Acute coronary syndrome: diagnosis and treatment
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2024 Jan;113(1):3-7.ABSTRACTIn Switzerland, about 20 000 people experience an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event each year. Acute coronary syndromes comprise ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina. The diagnosis is made based on the clinical presentation, a rise in cardiac biomarkers, and ischemic ECG changes. In patients with acute STEMI, urgent coronary angiography with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open the occluded artery is indicated. In patients with NSTEMI and unstable angina, the timi...
