Zusammenfassung

Das Plattenepithelkarzinom des Kopf-Hals-Bereichs (PKH) ist durch seine starke Immunsuppression und ausgeprägte Immune-escape-Mechanismen gekennzeichnet. Die immuntherapeutischen Ansätze gewinnen weiter an Bedeutung, wobei sich die Studienlandschaft deutlich in Richtung antikörperbasierter Immuncheckpointmodulation verschoben hat. Der Einsatz der Immuntherapie als kurativer Ansatz oder als Rezidivprophylaxe ist anzustreben.

Akuter Schwindel: Wann lohnt sich eine MRT?

28.04.2024 Schwindel Nachrichten

Akuter Schwindel stellt oft eine diagnostische Herausforderung dar. Wie nützlich dabei eine MRT ist, hat eine Studie aus Finnland untersucht. Immerhin einer von sechs Patienten wurde mit akutem ischämischem Schlaganfall diagnostiziert.

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.
