The Endoscopic Treatment of Iatrogenic Gastrointestinal Perforation.
CONCLUSION: The endoscopic treatment of iatrogenic perforations is safe and reliable. Success depends on early detection, adequate endoscopic closure with properly mastered technique, and the early initiation of concomitant antibiotic treatment, which must be continued for a full course. Most patients who are treated in this way do not need emergency surgery.

Evidence-Based Hernia Treatment in Adults.
CONCLUSION: The choice of procedure has been addressed by international guidelines based on high-level evidence.

Dependence on Prescription Opioids.
CONCLUSION: Physicians who know the indications and risks of opioid therapy and the typical behavior of drug-dependent patients will be better able to identify patients at risk and to prevent dependence. Studies on the prevalence of opioid abuse and dependence in German patients with chronic pain can help provide better estimates of the current extent and implications of this problem in Germany.

Mental Health Problems in a School Setting in Children and Adolescents.
CONCLUSION: Physicians, in collaboration with school social workers and psychologists, should help teachers recognize and contend with mental health problems among the children and adolescents whom they teach, to enable the timely detection of stress factors at school and the initiation of the necessary measures and aids. In particular, the school-entrance examination and screening for risk factors at school can make a positive contribution. Evidence-based preventive programs should be implemented in schools, and beneficial changes of the school environment should be a further goal.

Radiotherapy and Hormone Treatment in Prostate Cancer.
CONCLUSION: Androgen deprivation combined with external beam radiotherapy is a curative standard option for patients with prostate cancer who are at high risk of recurrence. The modern radiotherapeutic techniques that are now available, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, enable a further improvement of the risk/benefit ratio.

The Pharmacological Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
CONCLUSION: ICS monotherapy has no clinically useful effect on pulmonary function in COPD. The main form of drug treatment for COPD is with broncho - dilators, either alone or in combination with ICS. ICS can be given to patients with grade III or IV COPD to make exacerbations less frequent. Patients with an asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS) can benefit from ICS treatment.

Lichen Sclerosus-Presentation, Diagnosis and Management.
CONCLUSION: Anogenital itching and clinical features such as erythema, white skin changes (such as hyperkeratosis and sclerosis), and fissures should arouse suspicion of lichen sclerosus. The diagnosis should be confirmed with a skin biopsy, and early, thorough treatment should be initiated. In this way, a mutilating disease course can be averted, and the risk of cancer can be lessened.

Fine Needle Aspiration in the Investigation of Thyroid Nodules.
CONCLUSION: Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland in experienced hands is an easily performed diagnostic procedure with very little associated risk. It should be performed on ultrasonographically suspect nodules for treatment stratification and before any operation for an unclear nodular change in the thyroid gland.

Ezetimibe-Statin Combination Therapy.
CONCLUSION: In high-risk patients with an acute coronary syndrome, combination therapy with ezetimibe and a statin lowered the risk of cardiovascular events in comparison to statin monotherapy. The risk of dying or suffering an adverse drug effect was similar in the two treatment groups.
