Excerpt

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated technology adoption and changed the overall landscape of care delivery for older adults. Initially, virtual care was shown to be beneficial for older inpatients and emergency triage of patients with acute respiratory syndrome. Nonetheless, virtual care has now been shown to be useful for supporting frail and/or disabled older persons and caregivers in the community, nursing home residents, assessment and management of cognitive impairment, geriatric psychiatry patients, symptom control at the end of life, wound care, assessment of falls risk factors and virtual rehabilitation (111). …

Metastasiertes CRC: besser Checkpointhemmer im Doppelpack!

Die Kombination von Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab ist beim metastasierten Kolorektalkarzinom mit MSI-H- oder dMMR klar im Vorteil gegenüber einer Nivolumab-Monotherapie: Das Progressionsrisiko war damit in einer Phase-3-Studie um 38% reduziert.

Riesenzellarteriitis: bilaterale Biopsie der Temporalarterien von Vorteil

Die Riesenzellarteriitis (RZA) erfordert eine rasche und präzise Diagnose, da innerhalb weniger Tage ein schwerer, irreversibler Sehverlust drohen kann. In diesem Zusammenhang scheint die bilaterale Biopsie der Temporalarterien (TAB) der unilateralen überlegen zu sein.

Große Trinkmengen bei Blasentumoren möglicherweise von Nachteil

Beim nicht-muskelinvasiven Blasenkrebs scheint eine hohe Flüssigkeitszufuhr keinen schützenden Effekt in Bezug auf das Risiko eines Rezidivs oder einer Krankheitsprogression zu haben. Eine niederländische Studie legt sogar nahe, dass große Trinkmengen das Fortschreiten der Erkrankung begünstigen könnten.

Höhere Trefferquoten bei Brustkrebsscreening dank KI?

Künstliche Intelligenz unterstützt bei der Auswertung von Mammografie-Screenings und senkt somit den Arbeitsaufwand für Radiologen. Wie wirken sich diese Technologien auf die Trefferquote und die Falsch-positiv-Rate aus? Das hat jetzt eine Studie aus Schweden untersucht.
