Abstract

Persistent HPV infection with an oncogenic strain of high-risk HPV is a necessary risk factor for the development of invasive cervical cancer. The improved understanding of the cytopathic effects of HPV led to the development of novel diagnostic and preventative tools. HPV manages to evade the immune response of the host. Oncogenic HPV infection does not progress to cancer in all infected individuals and certain variables make individuals more susceptible to the development of pre-malignant and malignant disease. The alpha HPV types are divided into high- and low-risk types according to their ability to cause malignant disease. HPV is mostly transmitted by mucosal contact and infects basal keratinocytes, most likely at a site of micro-trauma that exposes the basal layer to virus. The ability of low-risk HPV to disrupt cell proliferation is limited. In high-risk HPV infections, E6 and E7 are expressed early and strongly leading to accumulation of genetic changes that progress to cancer. The specific HPV type is the strongest factor associated with persistence and oncogenic potential. The concept of latency and reactivation may explain the re-emergence of HPV DNA detection many years after exposure. After a period of latency, reactivation of detectable HPV may follow immune suppression or hormonal changes.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Die Autorinnen und Autoren einer aktuellen Studie aus Griechenland sind sich einig, dass Bewegungstherapie, einschließlich Übungen zur Stärkung der Bauchmuskulatur und zur Stabilisierung des Rumpfes, eine Diastase recti abdominis postpartum wirksam reduzieren kann. Doch vieles ist noch nicht eindeutig belegt.
