Excerpt

Upon reviewing the many wonderful articles and perspective pieces in this Special Issue of Digestive Diseases and Sciences prior to publication, it occurred to me that an important method of screening had not been covered. While in 2010 in the USA <6 % of respondents aged 50–75 reported having screening flexible sigmoidoscopy performed within 5 years (an additional 1.3 % had sigmoidoscopy plus fecal occult blood testing) [1, 2], flexible sigmoidoscopy remains part of the menu of screening options recommended by several professional society guidelines [36]. Four recent randomized trials also provide (arguably) the largest body of prospective evidence demonstrating the role of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in reducing CRC-related mortality of any screening method [710]. I therefore decided that it was important to at least provide a brief perspective on flexible sigmoidoscopy as a CRC screening tool, including why it is not used more today in the USA. …

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
