What do older patients know about their medication? A cross-sectional, interview-based pilot study
ConclusionOur study showed that medication knowledge of older patients was overall satisfying. Awareness of sick day rules, however, was poor. Future studies should evaluate the clinical benefits of sick day rules and ways of better communicating sick day rules to patients. In this regard, general practitioners may play a decisive role.

What to report in sellar tumor MRI? A nationwide survey among German pituitary surgeons, radiation oncologists, and endocrinologists
ConclusionTo optimally address the information needs of the interdisciplinary treatment team, MRI reports of sellar masses should primarily focus on the accurate description of tumor location, size, internal structure, and involvement of adjacent anatomic compartments.

Patterns of PET-positive residual tissue at interim restaging and risk of treatment failure in advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma: an analysis of the randomized phase III HD18 trial by the German Hodgkin Study Group
CONCLUSION: PET-2-positive residuals of AS-HL are mostly located in the mediastinum, and a majority of patients have few affected regions. The risk of progression was twofold higher in patients with more than two positive regions in PET-2.PMID:37735258 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-023-06431-w

Ultrasound-guided ablation techniques for thyroid lesions
Laryngorhinootologie. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1055/a-2144-4132. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltrasound-guided ablation techniques have been increasingly introduced into routine treatment of thyroid lesions as a complement to existing surgical therapies and radioiodine treatment. In cystic or predominantly cystic lesions instillation therapy (ethanol/polidocanol ablation) has yielded good results. Novel thermal ablation techniques, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), laser ablation (LA) and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), induce irreversible cellular effects by locally applying temper...

Improved daily estimates of relative humidity at high resolution across Germany: A random forest approach
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 19:117173. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe lack of readily available methods for estimating high-resolution near-surface relative humidity (RH) and the incapability of weather stations to fully capture the spatiotemporal variability can lead to exposure misclassification in studies of environmental epidemiology. We therefore aimed to predict German-wide 1 × 1 km daily mean RH during 2000-2021. RH observations, longitude and latitude, modelled air temperature, precipitation and wind speed as well as remote sensing information on topographic elevation, vegetation, a...

Racism and discrimination in the context of health inequalities-a narrative review
Bundesgesundheitsblatt Gesundheitsforschung Gesundheitsschutz. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s00103-023-03764-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRacism and discrimination as social determinants of health are becoming increasingly recognised in public health research in Germany. Studies show correlations with physical and mental health and even changes at the cellular level. In addition to the adverse health effects of interpersonal and direct discrimination, the relevance of structural and institutional racism for health inequalities has been little explored. This narrative review synthesises and critically discusses relevant an...

Individualising the social? The history of insomnia around 1900
J Sleep Res. 2023 Sep 21:e14034. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14034. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUsing the example of the fin-de-siècle German Reich, this article outlines how insomnia emerged as a "disease of civilisation" in an industrialising society, defined by time-specific notions, reflecting and strengthening the social norms of the time. Furthermore, it analyses the process of individualisation and flexibilisation that transferred the social struggles and economic demands of modernity onto the subject's body or soul. The history of insomnia around 1900 thus reveals a pattern of thought that shaped the understanding of the i...

Current practice of outpatient rehabilitation services in patients with mobility-impaired paralysis due to stroke or spinal cord injury: a qualitative interview study in Germany
CONCLUSION: Areas of improvement identified focused on: setting rehabilitation goals towards participation, training therapists on evidence-based treatments and shared decision-making, updating the outpatient service catalogue, and implementing coordination actions. Implementation of these recommendations should be evaluated.PMID:37732606 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2259301

Digital Health Applications in the Area of Mental Health —a Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: Most of the published studies display a high risk of bias, both because of the manufacturers' participation and because of methodological deficiencies. DiGA are an increasingly important therapeutic modality in psychiatry. The available evidence indicates that treatment effects are indeed present, but prospective comparisons with established treatments are still entirely lacking.PMID:37732500 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2023.0208

Synthetic cannabinoids in hair —Prevalence of use in abstinence control programs for driver's license regranting in Germany
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) have steadily increased on the drug market but are rarely analyzed in abstinence control programs for driver's license regranting. Between March 2020 and March 2021, hair samples from this collective were retrospectively screened for SCs by liquid chromatography –tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis, and those testing positive were additionally screened by liquid chromatography-high resolution time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-qTOF/MS). AbstractAlthough the use, structural variety, and prevalence of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) have steadily increased on the drug market, they are...

Nalbuphine as analgesic in preschool children undergoing ophthalmic surgery and the occurrence of emergence delirium
Conclusion
Nalbuphine shows a sufficient analgesic effect for pain therapy following ophthalmic surgery in preschool children. Nalbuphine seems to reduce the incidence of EDA in children undergoing ophthalmic surgery.

The history of louse-borne typhoid and Geomedizine
The experience of World War I made popular the concept of medical geography which become part of Nazism's philosophy of national welfare, safety, and solidarity. The Nazis used it to create propaganda to show some groups as rats, vermin, and Untermenschen (subhumans). In this way, more than ten million people were killed under the Nazi regime: six million Jews, plus more than 5 million Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other groups who were not part of the German theory of "master race." The Germans' fear of typhus that spread in the Wehrmacht was so immense that during the occupation, Polish doctors used this phobia to or...

How much stuff does it take to not be poor? About 6 tons per year
How much stuff do people need to lead a decent life? It’s a hard, and subjective, question. But researchers have now estimated for the first time what it takes, quantitatively speaking, to
keep one person out of abject poverty
: about 6 tons per year of food, fuel, clothing, and other supplies, researchers report this month in

The first-of-its-kind estimate is “a remarkable step forward,” says Stefan Bringezu, an expert in sustainable resource management at the University of Kassel who was not involved with the research. “They shed light on the physical basi...

Health of people with selected citizenships in Germany: prevalence of non-communicable diseases and associated social as well as migration-related factors
DISCUSSION: Given the importance of subjective sense of belonging to the society in Germany and self-reported experience of discrimination for the health outcomes studied, the results point to health inequalities among people with selected citizenships that may indicate mechanisms of social exclusion.PMID:37728772 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-023-03767-4
