Interdisciplinary treatment of diabetic foot wounds in the elderly : Low risk of amputations and mortality and good chance of being mobile with good …

2016

Aims: A major proportion of patients with diabetic foot syndrome are older than 65 years. Little is known about outcomes of these elderly patients. Methods: We analysed 245 treatment cases in an observational single-centre study for comorbidities and outcomes over a 6-month period. Results: In all, 122 patients had peripheral arterial disease which was significantly increasing with age ( n = 245, df = 1, χ2 = 23.06, p ⩽ 0.0001). Increasing age correlated positively with decreasing rate of revascularisations ( n = 122, df = 1, χ2 = 4.23, p = 0.039). In total, 23 (9.3%) patients died in the observation period. In-hospital mortality was 2.8%, percentage of major amputations 2.8%. In the invasi…

Endoskopische ablative Verfahren bei Gallengangstumoren – Effektivität der photodynamischen Therapie und der Radiofrequenzablation

2015

Nur etwa 20–30 % der Patienten mit hilarem cholangiozellularen Karzinom (CCC) konnen bei Diagnosestellung kurativ operiert werden, da erst bei fortgeschrittenem Tumorstadium Symptome auftreten 3 . Daher konnen den meisten Patienten mit dieser Tumorentitat lediglich palliative Therapiekonzepte angeboten werden. Die Effektivitat der photodynamischen Therapie (PDT) wurde in 2 kontrolliert randomisierten sowie in weiteren kontrollierten Studien nachgewiesen. Eine endoskopische Drainage in Kombination mit einer intraluminalen PDT stellte bislang das beste palliative Therapiekonzept dar [1, 3]. Die Radiofrequenzablation (RFA) ist ein neues endoskopisches Verfahren im Rahmen des palliativen Therap…
