Abstract Future global health security requires a and care workforce (HCWF) that can respond effectively to crises as well changing needs with ageing populations, rise in chronic conditions growing inequality. COVID‐19 has drawn attention an impending HCWF crisis large projected shortfall numbers against need. Addressing this countries move beyond focus on of doctors, nurses midwives consider what kinds healthcare workers deliver the services needed; are more likely stay country, rural...
Abstract Background In recent years, there has been a growing number of case reports documenting delayed seroma in patients with history breast surgery and reconstruction. The occurrence these seromas associated prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination. So far, are few systematic analyses on postoperative complications since the emergence pandemic. Study design We conducted multicenter retrospective analysis to assess incidence two major university care centers Germany during pandemic...
Summary Demographic processes, particularly the recruitment of seedlings, are critical to long‐term survival and re‐establishment plant populations. In many perennial grasslands successful is a rare event that requires simultaneous favourable alignment several environmental variables. Although few empirical studies have examined demographic processes in grasslands, most these investigate impact only one or two factors isolation. Those would lead us expect seed availability, irrigation...
The purpose of this survey was to assess medical students' opinions about online learning programs and their preferences for specific teaching formats during COVID 19 pandemic.Between May July 2020, students who took an gynecology obstetrics course were asked fill in a questionnaire anonymously. solicited the course, used (online lectures, video tutorials featuring real patient scenarios, practical skills training), digital general.Of 103 students, 98 (95%) submitted questionnaires that...
Abstract Purpose The aims of this study were to determine the incidence intraoperative and postoperative complications laparoscopic gynecological interventions identify risk factors for such complications. Methods All patients who underwent from September 2013 2017 at Department Gynecology, Obstetrics Reproductive Medicine, Saarland University Hospital identified retrospectively using a prospectively compiled clinical database. Binary logistic regression analysis was used independent intra-...
Background The beneficial effects of a plant-based diet on gut microbiota diversity are well documented, however, its impact clinical bowel health and defecation patterns less understood. Vegetarian diets have been associated with higher movement (BM) frequency as softer stools in cross-sectional studies. the de-novo adoption vegan health, never investigated randomized-controlled trial.
Abstract Background Evidence for endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) colorectal defects is still based on small patient series from various institutions, employing different treatment algorithms and methods. As EVT was invented at our institution 20 years ago, the aim to report efficacy safety of as well analyze factors associated with efficacy, duration, outpatient treatment. Methods Cohort study analysis prospectively collected data patients receiving a tertiary referral center in Germany ( n...
In the context of quality assurance, objectives were to describe surgical treatment and postoperative morbidity (particularly renal insufficiency). A retrospective, multicentre study patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with cisplatin-based HITOC was performed. The funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation (GZ: RI 2905/3-1)). Patients (n = 350) malignant pleural mesothelioma 261; 75%) thymic tumours spread 58; 17%) or metastases 31; 9%)...
Background: Patients with Stickler syndrome often require emergency surgery and are anesthetized in nonspecialist units, typically for retinal detachment repair. Despite the occurrence of cleft palate Pierre-Robin sequence, there is little published literature on airway complications. Our aim was to describe anesthetic practice complications a nonselected series cases. To our knowledge, this largest such literature. METHODS: We retrospectively identified patients genetically confirmed who...
Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC) is effective on survival for patients with pleural metastatic thymic tumours.Multicentre, retrospective analysis of stage IVa tumours treated surgical resection HITOC. Primary end point was overall survival, secondary points were recurrence-/progression-free morbidity/mortality.A total n = 58 (thymoma, 42; carcinoma, 15; atypical carcinoid the thymus, 1) included, who had primary metastases (n 50; 86%) or recurrence 8;...
Oral endocrine therapies (OET) for breast cancer treatment need to be taken over a long period of time and are associated with considerable side effects. Therefore, adherence OET is an important issue high clinical significance patients' caregivers. We hypothesized that new bioanalytical strategy based on liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry might suitable unbiased monitoring (AM) OET. Four different biomatrices (plasma, urine, finger prick blood by volumetric absorptive...
Abstract Purpose To assess the accuracy of preoperative sonographic staging in patients with primary invasive breast cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a prospectively kept service database newly diagnosed, unifocal, cT1-3, All were diagnosed at single center institution between January 2013 and December 2021. Clinical T stage was assessed preoperatively by ultrasound correlated definite postoperative pathologic stage. Demographics, clinical pathological characteristics collected....
Abstract Purpose To assess the accuracy of preoperative sonographic staging for prediction limited axillary disease (LAD, one or two metastatic lymph nodes) and to identify factors associated with high prediction–pathology concordance in patients early-stage breast cancer meeting Z0011 criteria. Materials Methods Patients treated between January 2015 2020 were included this retrospective, multicentric analysis prospectively acquired service databases. The LAD was assessed separately...
With approximately 220,000 newly diagnosed cases per year, ovarian cancer is among the most frequently occurring cancers women and second leading cause of death from gynecological malignancies worldwide. About 70% these are in advanced stages (FIGO IIB-IV), with a 5-year survival rate 20-30%. Due to poor prognosis this disease, research has focused on its pathogenesis identification prognostic factors. One possible approach for biological markers tumor entity-specific genetic "driver...
