Hepatitis C virus: Current steps toward elimination in Germany and barriers to reaching the 2030 goal

2021

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects over 70 million people globally, with an estimated 399 000 HCV‐related deaths in 2016. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a goal to eliminate HCV by 2030. Despite the availability of direct‐acting antivirals—highly effective and well‐tolerated therapies for HCV—many patients infected with HCV in Germany have not initiated treatment, including a majority of those who are aware of their positive diagnosis. Barriers to screening, diagnosis, and treatment are major factors taking many countries off track for HCV elimination by 2030. Identifying country‐specific barriers and challenges, particularly in at‐risk populations such as people who injec…

Obesity is associated with an increased somatic morbidity and mortality. This paper focuses on the controversial issue of mental co-morbidity in various populations of overweight and obese persons and the relationship to the utilization of medical care and health behaviour. Therefore, this paper focuses on health care utilization and health behaviour in overweight/obese with mental co-morbidity. In a representative German community sample with n = 1281 we administered valid self-rating scales on depression and anxiety. Using established cut-off scores we identified 61 subjects with both overweight/obesity and at least one mental disorder. Compared to the overweight/obese without mental co-m…

P165 Workplace and commuting accidents of german teachers: an analysis of accident reports

2016

Introduction Since 2011 the Institute for Teachers’ Health (IfL) is responsible for the occupational health of more than 40.000 German teachers. Analysing teachers’ accidents is an important part of everyday work. The aim of the study was to describe accident black spots and type of injuries. We further wanted to identify factors influencing accident severity. Methods We included accident reports of teachers between August 2011 and July 2014 (three school-years) which occurred at schools in Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany). In case of an accident, teachers fill out an accident report which is forwarded either to the statutory accident insurance or to the IfL. For the present analysis, anonymi…

Franz Kuhn, his contribution to anaesthesia and emergency medicine.

2001

Franz Kuhn (1866-1929), a German surgeon, made a significant practical and scientific contribution towards the development of modern anaesthesia and emergency medicine. He developed modern, scientifically based concepts in close correlation to practical inventions for every day use. All of his studies and developments were patient orientated and led to remarkable improvements in patient safety. Kuhn was a major protagonist of endotracheal intubation, perfected his flexo-metallic endotracheal tubes, worked on different techniques of intubating the trachea, applied positive pressure to the lungs during thoracic surgery and developed anaesthesia machines. In the early 20th century, he wrote se…
