Die Handlungsempfehlung wendet sich an Sie als Ärzte, Betreiber und Medizinische Fachangestellte (MFA) in ambulanten Praxen und Medizinischen Versorgungszentren (MVZ) sowie an zugehörige Ausbildungsbereiche. Durch ausgewählte praxisnahe Beispiele gibt Ihnen die Handlungsempfehlung die Möglichkeit, Infektionsrisiken im täglichen Umgang mit ihren Patienten zu identifizieren. Die Empfehlungen beleuchten eine Auswahl relevanter Aspekte zur Sicherung ihrer Patienten und Mitarbeitenden. Sie bilden den Stand des aktuellen Wissens ab und stellen in ihrer Umsetzung eine Mindestanforderung dar. Daher fokussiert die...

Stroke is the second leading cause of death (after heart disease) and a major cause of disability worldwide. Also called a brain attack, typical symptoms of stroke include sudden one-sided weakness and numbness in the face and arm as well as altered speech. Most strokes are ischaemic strokes where arterial blood flow to the brain is interrupted by an embolism or thrombosis. Strokes are less frequently caused by haemorrhage. Non-contrast cranial computed tomography (CT) imaging,...

Macroautophagy (hereafter referred to as “autophagy”) is a lysosome-mediated degradation process that plays a complex role in cellular stress, either promoting survival or triggering death. Early studies suggest that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, is not related to autophagy. Conversely, recent evidence indicates that the molecular machinery of autophagy facilitates ferroptosis through the selective degradation of anti-ferroptosis regulators. However, the mechanism of autophagy-dependent ferroptosis remains incompletely understood. Here, we examine the early...

Background: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is associated with high levels of functional impairments such as difficulties in academic or occupational performance and in social relationships. With an increasing number of traumatic event types experienced (trauma load), PTSD risk increases in a dose-dependent manner. Accordingly, high rates of PTSD can impair the reconstruction process in post-conflict societies. In order to meet these high needs for mental health services in societies with little access to professional care,...

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for the human body. Humans meet their basic Se requirements primarily through food consumption. The largest Se-rich contiguous area in China is located in the southeast of Guangxi. In this study, the Se accumulation and translocation in the Guangxi rice–soil system was assessed. Organically bound Se (O-Se) was found to be the main type of soil Se (72.5%), and had a good linear relationship with soil total Se (TSe)...

This study aims to explore the effect of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) variability (mean absolute difference of the log2 NT-proBNP level measured in hospital) on the prognosis of patients with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 2. Patients with CRS type 2 were retrospectively included. The varied NT-proBNP indications were analyzed. They were NT-proBNP I(pre-treatment), NT-proBNP II(post-treatment), NT-proBNP II/I, ΔNT-proBNP, log2 (NT-proBNP) variability and mean log2 (NT-proBNP). A logistic regression model and survival curves (Kaplan–Meier analysis)...

Bird observation mainly relies on field surveys, which are time-consuming and laborious. In this study, we explored using street-view images in the virtual survey of urban birds and nests. Using the coastal city of Qingdao as the study area, 47 201 seamless spherical photos at 2741 sites were collected using the Baidu street-view (BSV) map. Single-rater-all photo checks and seven-rater-metapopulation checks were used to find inter–rater repeatability, the best viewing layer for BSV collection, and...
