No influence of oxygen levels on pathogenesis and virus shedding in Salmonid alphavirus (SAV)-challenged Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
2010
Abstract Background For more than three decades, diseases caused by salmonid alphaviruses (SAV) have become a major problem of increasing economic importance in the European fish-farming industry. However, experimental infection trials with SAV result in low or no mortality i.e very different from most field outbreaks of pancreas disease (PD). This probably reflects the difficulties in reproducing complex biotic and abiotic field conditions in the laboratory. In this study we looked at the relationship between SAV-infection in salmon and sub-lethal environmental hypoxia as a result of reduced flow-through in tank systems. Results The experiment demonstrated that constant reduced oxygen leve…
Wie aktiv sind Familien mit Söhnen im Vergleich zu Familien mit Töchtern?
2002
Zusammenfassung. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Analyse der familiären Krankheitsbewältigung in Familien chronisch erkrankter Jugendlicher. Zu diesem Zweck wurde das gemeinsame Coping von 94 Familien mit an Diabetes erkrankten Jugendlichen über einen Zeitraum von 3 Jahren untersucht. Die familiären Bewältigungsbemühungen waren in Familien mit Söhnen, besonders wenn diese erst 15 Jahre alt waren, intensiver als in Familien mit gleichaltrigen Töchtern. Insgesamt jedoch nahmen in allen Familien die Bewältigungsbemühungen über die Zeit ab und gaben zunehmend dem individuellen Coping des erkrankten Jugendlichen Raum. Die Befunde zeigen ferner eine starke Abhängigkeit der familiären Bewält…
Defining female voiding dysfunction: ICI-RS 2011
2012
Whilst symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and post micturition symptoms are more commonly reported in men a significant number of women may also complain of voiding dysfunction. However, despite the recent advances in the standardisation of terminology of lower urinary tract dysfunction there remains a lack of consensus regarding a precise diagnosis and definition of voiding abnormalities in women. In addition voiding symptoms may co-exist with storage symptoms as well as those associated with urinary incontinence. Consequently many patients present with a spectrum of different urinary symptoms, related to both storage and voiding, which may be multifactorial in origin or be relat…
Hausarztbasierte Demenzversorgung: Effektivität früher psychosozialer Beratung der Angehörigen
2012
Hintergrund und Fragestellung: Bei der Versorgung von Patienten mit Demenzerkrankungen besitzen Psychoedukation und professionelle Unterstutzung betreuender Angehoriger unstrittig einen hohen Stellenwert. Im Rahmen eines hausarztbasierten Versorgungsansatzes ging vorliegende Untersuchung der Frage nach, ob eine professionelle psychosoziale Beratung der betroffenen Familien – zeitnah zur Demenzdiagnose – das Risiko fur Depressionen der betreuenden Angehorigen reduziert. Patienten und Methodik: 42 Patienten mit diagnostizierter Demenz und ihre betreuenden Angehorigen nahmen an der prospektiven, randomisierten Studie und der Nachuntersuchung nach 18 Monaten teil. 29 Patienten erhielten zeitnah…
Ungesunder Lebensstil bei Patienten einer psychosomatischen Poliklinik und Konsilambulanz
2014
Patienten mit psychischen Storungen haben ein hoheres Risiko fur die Entwicklung korperlicher Erkrankungen. Als wesentlicher Risikofaktor hierfur gilt ein ungesunder Lebensstil. Um praventive Ansatzpunkte zu finden, untersuchten wir, wie haufig ein ungesunder Lebensstil bei psychosomatischen Patienten vorkommt und wie dieser mit psychischen und somatischen Beschwerden zusammenhangt. Hierzu wurde die klinische Basisdokumentation der Jahre 2009–2011 von n=1 919 ambulanten psychosomatischen Patienten ausgewertet. Korperliche Inaktivitat war mit 62,4% das haufigste Lebensstilrisiko, gefolgt vom Rauchen (33,2%) und Adipositas (17,4%). Alle Lebensstilrisiken waren mit einer hoheren Symptombelastu…
Multicentre study of gestrinone in cyclical breast pain FRIEDOLF PETERS
1992
Although the aetiology of cyclical mastalgia is poorly understood, the consistent finding of an increased prolactin stimulation response probably due to oestrogen dominance has led to the use of treatment with prolactin-lowering drugs and antioestrogens. The efficacy and safety in cyclical mastalgia of gestrinone, which has androgenic, anti-oestrogenic, and antiprogestagenic properties, were investigated in a multicentre study. In a double-blind randomisation procedure, 72 patients were allocated placebo and 73 treatment with gestrinone (2.5 mg twice a week) for 3 months. The patients recorded the severity of breast pain on a visual analogue scale before and during treatment and scored othe…

Blood group does not constitute a risk factor for the onset of the early form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in women "at risk."
Physical activity of adolescents with long term illnesses or disabilities in reference to ICF personal factors
2016
Participation and activities are important for adolescents’ functioning and health. This is in line with the World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Main areas of functioning include physical activities (PA) and participation in organised sport clubs. To ensure adolescents with long term illnesses or disabilities (LTID) can participate fully in society, functional abilities interact with contextual environmental and personal factors. Because habits and attitudes of adolescents can carry through to adulthood, it is important to assess the personal factors in relation to activities and participation. Therefore, the aims of this stu…
Forecasting Hepatitis C liver disease burden on real-life data. Does the hidden iceberg matter to reach the elimination goals?
2018
Abstract Background & Aims Advances in direct‐acting antiviral treatment of HCV have reinvigorated public health initiatives aimed at identifying affected individuals. We evaluated the possible impact of only diagnosed and linked‐to‐care individuals on overall HCV burden estimates and identified a possible strategy to achieve the WHO targets by 2030. Methods Using a modelling approach grounded in Italian real‐life data of diagnosed and treated patients, different linkage‐to‐care scenarios were built to evaluate potential strategies in achieving the HCV elimination goals. Results Under the 40% linked‐to‐care scenario, viraemic burden would decline (60%); however, eligible patients to treat w…
Smoking cessation opportunities in severe mental illness (tobacco intensive motivational and estimate risk — TIMER—): study protocol for a randomized…
2019
There is an increased risk of premature death in people with severe mental illness (SMI). Respiratory disorders and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of increased mortality rates in these patients, and tobacco consumption remains the most preventable risk factor involved. Developing new tools to motivate patients towards cessation of smoking is a high priority. Information on the motivational value of giving the lung age and prevention opportunities is unknown in this high-risk population. In the context of community care, screening and early detection of lung damage could potentially be used, together with mobile technology, in order to produce a prevention message, which may provi…
