Demographic change and urbanisation are proceeding at a rapid pace in Germany. Although the need for care is increasing due to a growing older and multimorbid generation, the number of home visits by general practitioners has been declining since years. Previous studies have shown that the workload for general practitioners is increasing, especially in rural areas.

What kind of structural practice characteristics are associated with the frequency of GP home visits? What influence do regional characteristics of GP practices have?

In a study of family doctors̓ practices in Saxony, 4286 home visits were documented by questionnaires from 303 participating practices over a period of one year. Each practice surveyed the home visits within a randomly assigned week. In addition to the characteristics of the home visits, information about the practice, such as regional location, home visit organization and patient numbers was also collected. The frequency of home visits was based on information provided by the preliminary studies. In the regression model, the great influence of the doctor̓s age on the number of home visits is striking. While regional-structural characteristics fade into the background, a changed attitude towards home visits must be assumed, with telemedicine and delegation coming to the fore.

The number of home visits per week continues to decline compared to preliminary studies. In the regression model, the great influence of the doctor̓s age on the number of home visits is striking. While regional-structural characteristics fade into the background, a changed attitude towards home visits must be assumed, with telemedicine and delegation coming to the fore.Nowadays endovascular treatment of pathologies of the superficial femoral artery is widely used and often the treatment of first choice. In patients with long-segment artery occlusions, bypass surgery can still be necessary. If so, the decision for adequate bypass material needs to be made. This manuscript summarises the available evidence on autogenous vein bypasses above the knee and presents a clear pro for venous grafts in the suprapopliteal segment.

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the main killers of people all over the world. Fedratinib The major hurdles with existing therapy are the lengthy regimen and appearance of multi drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) strains of M.tuberculosis.

The present work was aimed to synthesize and determine antitubercular and antimicrobial potential of some novel 3-chloro-4-aryl-1-[4-(5-pyrazin-2-yl[1,3,4]oxadiazole-2-ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-azetidin-2-one derivatives 7 (A -H ) from pyrazinoic acid as precursor, which is a well-established antitubercular agent. Here we report the synthesis of a new class of heterocyclic molecules in which pyrazine, 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole and azetidinone moieties were present in one frame work.

Pyrazinoic acid (1 ) was esterified first (2 ) followed by amination to produce hydrazide (3 ) which was refluxed with POCl3 to obtain 2-chloromethyl-5pyrazino-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole (4 ). This was then further reacted with 4-amino phenol to obtain 4-[5-pyrazino-s.

Derivatives 7B and 7G would be effective lead candidates for tuberculosis therapy.

On the basis of the data set from the perinatal survey in Hesse, Germany, in the year 2016, including 52,122 live births (singleton, 37+0 GA), cases of critical newborns were identified. A conjoined analysis with the data set of the neonatal survey from the identical period provided the basis to evaluate the relationship to cases compromised by HIE.

The incidence of cases with a critical outcome (n=11) and those with HIE (n=29) was low. The sensitivity of the status of the newborn for detecting a risk of HIE was 10.34%. The specificity was 99.98%. The positive predictive value was 27.35%. The negative predictive value was 99.95%. The detailed, confidential single-case analysis indicated the ability to avoid negative outcomes in about one third of cases with a critical status of the newborn (4/11) and HIE (9/29).

The likelihood of developing encephalopathy (HIE) increases after a critical outcome after birth. Intensified monitoring of these newborns is justified. A single-case analysis identifies the potential ways to improve perinatal outcomes. Measures of external quality assurance should integrate the analysis of both perinatal and neonatal surveys as a basis for quality management (QM).

 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of intraoperative skeletal traction for the surgical repair of pelvic fractures. Opposition and anchorage points for the application of traction were the same in all cadavers.

 Cadavers from 10 adult dogs with a median body weight of 31.9 kg (range 20-38 kg) were used. The fractures were experimentally created in all dogs to produce an oblique iliac fracture on the left side and a transverse fracture on the right (total of 20 fractures) at the same time. Dogs were positioned on an operating table in lateral recumbency and traction was applied first on the left side and then on the right after changing the position of the animal. Increasing amounts of traction were applied to each fracture and recorded until a distraction length of 2 cm was created between the bone fragments. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test confirmed normality of the data, and a paired

-test was used to compare traction of the two fracture types.

 The measurement of traction and distractiot, and for transverse fractures, the relationship between weight and required traction was near linear.
