Excerpt

Pharmacodynamic actions and molecular mechanisms of corticosteroids in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are poorly understood. The role of immunosuppressive and of direct stabilizing effects on the podocyte cytoskeleton needs to be defined. Without precise knowledge of the pathogenesis, optimal dosing cannot be established. The finding of Saadeh et al. [1] that dosing of glucocorticoids per body surface area is superior to dosing per kilogram body weight (BW) in terms of reducing the recurrence rate of NS is interesting; however, an overriding effect of age cannot be ruled out. …

Bei Amblyopie ist das frühzeitige Abkleben des kontralateralen Auges in den meisten Fällen wohl effektiver als der Therapiestandard mit zunächst mehrmonatigem Brilletragen.

„Übersichtlicher Wegweiser“: Lauterbachs umstrittener Klinik-Atlas ist online

17.05.2024 Klinik aktuell Nachrichten

Sie sei „ethisch geboten“, meint Gesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach: mehr Transparenz über die Qualität von Klinikbehandlungen. Um sie abzubilden, lässt er gegen den Widerstand vieler Länder einen virtuellen Klinik-Atlas freischalten.

ADHS-Medikation erhöht das kardiovaskuläre Risiko
