Zusammenfassung

Seit der Jahrtausendwende erfahren die Therapieregime in der Neurologie einen zunehmenden Wandel von vormals krankheitsspezifischer hin zu einer individualisierten Behandlung unter Berücksichtigung spezifischer Patienten- und Krankheitsmerkmale. Einen großen Anteil daran hat, wie es zuerst auf dem Gebiet der Onkologie zu beobachten war, die Entwicklung von Medikamenten, die sich von körpereigenen Molekülen ableiten, den „Biologicals“ zum Beispiel in Form von synthetischen monoklonalen Antikörpern (mAk).

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten
