The ERAS in all studies concerning orthopedic surgery and trials investigating implantation of a hip endoprosthesis or knee endoprosthesis reduced the risk for postoperative blood transfusions. Regardless of the type of surgery, ERAS shortened hospital stay without increasing readmissions.

Numerous clinical trials have confirmed that ERAS reduces postoperative morbidity, shortens hospital stay and accelerates recovery without increasing readmission rates following most surgical operations.

Both conditions are rising in incidence as well as prevalence, creating poor outcomes for patients and high healthcare costs. Recent data suggests CKD to be an independent risk factor for CVD. Cenicriviroc Accumulation of uremic toxins, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress have been identified to act as CKD-specific alterations that increase cardiovascular risk. The association between CKD and cardiovascular mortality is markedly influenced through vascular alterations, in particular atherosclerosis and vascular calcification (VC). While numerous risk factors promote atherosclerosis by inducing endothelial dysfunction and its progress to vascular structural damage, CKD affects the medial layer of blood vessels primarily through VC. Ongoing research has identified VC to be a multifactorial, cell-mediated process in which numerous abnormalities like mineral dysregulation and especially hyperphosphatemia induce a phenotype switch of vascular smooth muscle cells to osteoblast-like cells. A combination of pro-calcifying stimuli and an impairment of inhibiting mechanisms like fetuin A and vitamin K-dependent proteins like matrix Gla protein and Gla-rich protein leads to mineralization of the extracellular matrix. In view of recent studies, intercellular communication pathways via extracellular vesicles and microRNAs represent key mechanisms in VC and thereby a promising field to a deeper understanding of the involved pathomechanisms. In this review, we provide an overview about pathophysiological mechanisms connecting CKD and CVD. Special emphasis is laid on vascular alterations and more recently discovered molecular pathways which present possible new therapeutic targets.

Endovascular procedures are paramount in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, e.g. thrombectomy for stroke. The continuous further development of the devices used for these procedures (e.g. catheters and stents) requires permanent learning by the treating physician.

Technical support options for new neuroendovascular procedures.

Integration of streaming technologies into the training concept for neuroradiologists.

The transmission of angiographic images to aremote computer workstation in real time is possible independent of location by means of specific streaming technology. This approach enables aneuroendovascular specialist to advise geographically distant interventionalists when performing catheter interventions of the brain, to oversee the handling of the materials used and to instruct them if necessary (remote proctoring).

Especially during emergency interventions and during travel restrictions, patient safety can be increased by connecting to another neuroendovascular specialist via live streaming.

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century this human right has been increasingly recognized and respected in medical practice. This change of recognition is contributing to a change from a paternalistic to a participative medical attitude. In the context of an emancipatory development of society the increasing possibilities of effective therapies, which are rarely without risks, stimulate the necessity to inform the patient about the intended benefits and the potential risks of the recommended intervention. This gives the patient the opportunity to exercise the right of self-determination. Furthermore, by the transition from very successful acute medicine, although often with only short-term contact between physician and patient to long-term therapies of chronic diseases, the possibilities to understand the patient are increased, particularly in the mentally ill patient. This also enables the individual characteristics to be recognized better, both the restrictions and capabilities, to experience the patient as an individual, as a human being with individual peculiarities and to respect the right of self-determination by helping the patient to understand the benefits and risks of a recommended intervention and to balance them in a self-determined mode.

The potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health was evident early on. The extent of the effects, especially cumulative over the long period of the pandemic, has not yet been fully investigated for Germany.

The aim of the study was to determine psychological burden as well as COVID-19-related experience and behavior patterns and to show how they changed during the different phases of the pandemic in Germany.

The Germany-wide online-based cross-sectional study (03/10-07/27/2020) included 22,961 people (convenience sample). Generalized anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-2), and psychological distress (DT) were collected, as well as COVID-19-related experiences and behavior patterns COVID-19-related fear, trust in governmental actions, subjective level of information, adherent safety behavior, and personal risk assessment for infection/severe course of illness. The pandemic was retrospectively divided into fivephases (initial, crisis, lockdown, reorientation, and new normality).

Compared to pre-COVID-19 reference values, GAD‑7, PHQ‑2, and DT levels were significantly elevated and persistent throughout the different phases of the pandemic.
