Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a challenging disease, as overall survival has not improved over the last several decades. The disease is characterized by late diagnosis, difficult major surgery in resectable patients, and a biologically chemoresistant tumor. Intense research in the field is ongoing to develop biomarkers for early detection and prognostication. Surgery is presently the crux of the management of PDA and has been standardized over the years with high-volume centers reporting <5 % operative mortality. The biggest problem is to overcome the inherent chemoresistance of the tumor that is densely fibrotic and hypoxic and has a tendency to invade surrounding neuronal plexuses. This review attempts to summarize in brief the reasons why PDA is difficult to treat, and provides a glimpse of the ongoing research in the field.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
