To this end, a prospective observational study was conducted in 57 centres in Switzerland, on a total of 196 patients. After an average of 43 days of treatment with controlled release hydromorphone, the intensity of momentary pain dropped by 46.5% and that of maximum pain dropped by 41.3%, with the efficacy of the treatment being most pronounced with visceral and somatic pain. At the same time, the prevalence of sleep disorders as a result of pain decreased from initially 86.7% to 21.0%. Controlled release hydromorphone was exce...

Despite significant improvements in the treatment of GBM, this disease remains associated with a high morbidity and mortality, with more than half of all affected patients dying within the first year after diagnosis. Typical symptoms include focal neurological symptoms, seizures, personality changes and neurocognitive symptoms. GBM can be identified by means of cerebral imaging modalities and subsequently confirmed histopathologically through biopsy or resection. At present, surgical resection followed by radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy with temozolomide and subsequent adjuvant ch...

The concentration of calcium and vitamin D in the serum was low. In this context, we concluded of neuromuscular irritability secondary to hypocalcaemia. The symptoms disappeared after a treatment of intravenous calcium. This case shows how important it is to investigate electrolytes in case of neuromuscular irritability symptoms in elderly people.

An evaluation of 593 assessments from 2004 and 2005 was carried out in order to gain initial insights into the characteristics of this special patient population. Information about sociodemographic background, diagnoses and certified fitness to work was collected and evaluated. The majority of the assessed patients were immigrants (61%) from southern and south-eastern Europe, 86% of whom suffered from chronic pain conditions and depression. At the time of the assessments, only 101 patients (17% of the total) were working full- or part-time. For 38% of the patient population under ...

Although a causal link between the identification of viruses in the upper respiratory tract and exacerbation is not definitively established, there is growing evidence that viruses are important triggers of exacerbations in more than 50 percent of cases. Yet, neither clinical presentation nor biological markers permit to discriminate between viral and non viral exacerbations.

Obesity represents a well established risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus type 2. Several studies on surgical procedures for the treatment of obesity have shown a postoperative reduction of obesity-related co-morbidities. Thus, diabetes mellitus type 2 was shown to resolve or improve in more than 75% of morbidly obese patients (BMI >35) after bariatric surgery. These insights paved the way for the advent of metabolic surgery - a novel field with the goal to improve glucose metabolism in patients with a BMI of less than 35. Encouraging results from mostly observational studies have sparked the interest in the surgical management ...

It is characterized by extremely high levels of insulin in the presence of high titers of insulin antibodies despite the absence of previous insulin injections. Early postprandial increase in glucose concentrations due to impaired insulin action resulting from the buffering effect of the antibodies and late postprandial hypoglycemia as a consequence of the dissociation of insulin from the antibodies was observed.

It is characterized by pain and paresthesia along the distribution of the median nerve. Thenar muscle atrophy with corresponding muscle weakness is a late manifestation of advanced disease. Electrophysiological tests are helpful in suggesting the diagnosis. An imaging with a magnetic resonance tomography may be used in the diagnosis of atypical cases. Ergonomic manoeuvres, oral steroids and steroidal injections may alleviate symptoms in mild cases. Surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel is the classical treatment of severe cases as well as for those who do not respond to conservative treatment. A...

If left untreated, the disorder has a fatal course within a few years after symptom onset. If discovered early, effective treatment is available, preventing further clinical deterioration and leading to a normal life expectancy. Accumulation of copper in liver and brain can lead to a variety of unspecific hepatic, neurologic and psychiatric symptoms such as jaundice, tremor, ataxia or depression. In patients under the age of 40 with unexplained hepatic, neurologic or psychiatric symptoms, Wilson's disease must be considered. Diagnosis can be made by measurement of urinary copper excretion and other tests as required. Lifelong decoppering treatment must be maintained. For the detection of d...

OSAS has been shown to have damaging acute effects on the cardiovascular system and thus has been postulated to represent an independent cardiovascular risk factor. A causal relationship between OSAS and cardiovascular disease has currently only been established for hypertension and heart failure. Evidence that OSAS indeed plays a key role in the pathogenesis of heart attacks and stroke and that therapy of OSAS reduces cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is currently limited.

Its medical condition is caused through a local-circumscribed demyelinisation of the trigeminal nerve with consecutive conduction of salting impulses on afferent pain fibres. It is essential to differentiate the symptomatic from the idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia. As primary management, a pharmacological treatment with anticonvulsants is recommended in order to attenuate the ectopic-generated pain impulses. Different neurosurgical procedures are available in cases of resistance to therapy. Thereby, causal surgery in form of microvascular decompression is not only the operative treatment of choice, but because of th...

The cyst formation begins in utero and the continuous growth of cysts leads to compression and destruction of non-cystic renal parenchyma, so that finally a kidney replacement in the 5th to 6th decade of life is necessary. So far there is no therapy that halts disease progression. Animal data show that pharmacological inhibition of a central regulator of cell proliferation, the socalled mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), slows disease progression. This overview provides an insight into the disease and the specific mTOR inhibitor sirolimus, which is currently tested in clinical trials. PMID: 20013687 [PubMed...

Indications for an active treatment of renal calculi go mainly according to the stone size as well as the clinical symptoms. The goal of modern nephrolithiasis treatment is the complete removal of all stones from the pelvi-calyceal system with the lowest possible morbidity. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy and flexible ureterorenoscopy are the main options for treatment. According to the stonesize, -localisation and -composition these options are given different priorities. However, due to significant technical progress in the field of endourology there...

At the emergency department, a prolonged QT-interval was noticed in addition to sinusbradycardia and marginal hypokalemia. The QT-interval normalized promptly after citalopram was discontinued. Taking into account the clinical picture and the ascertained orthostatic dysregulation, a diagnosis of orthostatic syncope was made. Because of the lengthened QT-interval, drug-induced torsade de pointes ventricular arrhythmia was considered as a differential diagnosis. We describe that citalopram was most probably the cause for the prolonged QT-interval. In our article we discuss the pathophysiology of drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS), the most important drugs involved, and finally the prophylaxis and trea...

The initial diagnose with conservative therapy or the postoperative care is often carried out by the general practitioner. In recent years, therapy modality of these fractures changed. With the development of angular stable implants and minimal invasive operations technique, operative treatment is favoured mainly in osteoporotic bone. The mentioned fractures are highlighted.

Diagnosis of pollinosis is based on anamnesis, skin tests and determination of specific IgE in the serum. Treatment includes allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy and allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT). A proper patient and allergen extract selection, an ideally adapted application regimen and good patient-guidance are decisive for the success of the SIT. Under such conditions immunotherapy leads to a benefit in more than 80% of pollinosis-patients. Component-resolved diagnosis is an important step in more specific diagnosis.

Best practice today includes instruction of long time patients in medication self management, which includes regular use of detailed taken medication lists. In gerontopharmaceutic therapy the following substances should be avoided: anticholinergics, dopaminreceptor stimulants, long acting oral antidiabetics, benzodiazepine (other then for substitution in low dose dependency, in anaesthesia or in palliative situations) and neuroleptics (other then for psychotic symptoms). In unspecific agitation with or without dementia the measure of first choice is adaption of the milieu, which may be supported by the prescription of a sedative non tricyclic a...

Recently, she refused to open her apartment for necessary repairs. An examination was possible only after police opened the apartment. She is in excellent physical health, has intact memory functions but reduced executive abilities. She has no delusion, but excessive fear from strangers as taught by her parents. The clinical impression of a debility is confirmed by enquiry at her relatives. The installation of a guardianship can give the necessary support for daily life.

Among the multiple factors involved in osteoporosis, some, but not all, are related to bone mass. Although bone mineral density (BMD) measurement is specific for detecting high-risk individuals, it misses a notable proportion of individuals who have clinical or epidemiological risk factors for osteoporotic fractures. Therefore, composite scores that rely both on BMD and on validated clinical risk factors have been developed. The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) was designed to predict the 10-year probabilities of sustaining a major osteoporotic fractures or a hip fracture. The cutoff value beyond which treatment should be initiated needs to be determined, based not only on clinical crit...

The median age at diagnosis is 68 years and we see about 4000 new prostate cancer patients every year. Approximately 1 in 7 men will eventually be diagnosed with PC. Stage dependent treatment strategies may include surgery, radiotherapy and systemic treatments like hormonal ablation and chemotherapy. The aim of this article is to give an overview of modern treatment strategies.

Among morbid obese patients, four out of five will develop comorbidities doubling the mortality risk in women and increase the numbers in men at a threefold risk. According to evidence based guidelines, nowadays surgery is the best and most effective treatment resulting in excellent long-term weight loss, reduction of comorbidities while extending expectation of life. A sound indication is the most important step for successful surgery. In this paper we focus on Swiss regulations and some special indications which have to be taken into consideration. After bariatric surgery clinical follow up on a regular basis is also of great importance. Further...

On computed tomography, a trichobezoar was diagnosed. Complementary history, gathered retrospectively, revealed trichophagia and swallowing of chewing gum. Gastroscopic disintegration of the trichobezoar was unsuccesfull and it therefore had to be removed by open surgery.

Whether a given test is useful for the patient's management critically depends on the clinical context, that is pre-test probability for significant CAD. Not every test is suitable for every patient. Non-invasive tests have the highest diagnostic yield in patients with chest pain and intermediate pre-test probability. In these patients, tests typically confirm the presence of CAD or make it highly unlikely. In patients with low or high pre-test probability, non-invasive tests provide hardly any added diagnostic information. However, in patients with high pre...
