A meta-analysis has shown that clinically relevant hemorrhage is less common under combined treatment with one of the new oral anticoagulants (NOAC) and a single antiplatelet drug than under triple therapy including a vitamin K antagonist (hazard ratio, 0.56; 95% confidence interval 0.39; 0.80]), but no significant difference was found with respect to stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, or overall mortality.

After coronary stent implantation, dual therapy with a NOAC and a P2Y12 inhibitor is recommended, subsequent to triple therapy given only during the peri-interventional period.

New gene therapy approaches have emerged as promising treatment options for rare congenital disorders and certain tumor entities for which previously only procedures of limited curative potential had been available, if at all.

Based on a selective literature search, the principles of gene therapy, the current status of clinical application, and the methods and results of gene therapy approaches are discussed.

In vivo gene therapy relies mostly on the use of vectors based on modified adeno-associated viruses to introduce a functioning copy of the missing or defective genetic information into the target cells. In ex vivo gene therapy, the target cells are extracted, genetically modified using a viral vector, and then returned to the patient. Predominantly lentiviral vectors are used for this purpose. With regard to monogenic disorders, gene therapies are available for the treatment of patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID), congenital retinal dystrophy (RPE65 mutations), transfusion-depons, performance of the treatment, pricing-bring new challenges.

Resuscitation by laypersons is important in bridging the time between the occurrence of an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and the arrival of emergency rescue service personnel. Depending on the reason for the cardiac arrest, however, the effectiveness of chest compressions is uncertain. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of lay resuscitation on survival following OHCA of different causes.

The data set for analysis comprised all cases of cardiac arrest before the arrival of emergency rescue service personnel that were fully documented in the German Resuscitation Registry in the period 2007-2019. The following endpoints related to resuscitation by bystanders were evaluated-separately for each cause-descriptively and by means of multivariate logistic regression analysis return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), 30 days' survival/discharged alive from the hospital, and good neurological function at discharge.

Altogether, 40 604 cases of cardiac arrest were included. Resuscitation by laypthe endpoint 30 days' survival/discharged alive in cases of OHCA caused by cardiac events and intoxication. These two groups account for 81% of the resuscitation patients in the study. Because there was also a tendency towards higher survival rates following OHCA of other causes (except hypoxia), laypersons should continue to be encouraged to attempt resuscitation in all cases of OHCA, whatever the cause.

In rare cases, it may be caused by testicular tumors. We describe a case of progressive gynecomastia at age 20 due to a Leydig cell tumor of the right testicle in a patient with a previous history of left-sided cryptorchidism. The patient underwent orchidectomy and testicular prosthesis placement, with subsequent improvement of gynecomastia and normalization of estrogen. Our case, in addition to demonstrating that gynecomastia may regress if the underlying cause is treated in a timely manner, shows that cryptorchidism may be related with the development of Leydig cell tumors in the same way as it is in other testicular tumors.The Eurachem Week 2020 was scheduled for May 25-29, 2020 in Bucharest, Romania. As topic for the two-day workshop ' Quality Assurance Elements for Analytical Laboratories in the University Curriculum ' was selected by the organisers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the event had to be cancelled in March. In April the Executive Committee scheduled the General Assembly for May 27 and 28 and the Workshop for July 14 and 15, 2020 as electronic meetings. Both events were very well organized by Eurachem Romania.Many oxidation and reduction reactions involve transfer of both electrons and protons. It is shown how this arises and how the energetics may be understood.Where does a negative attitude towards chemistry come from? How does a person begin to fear chemicals and how can one fall in love with chemistry? The problem of chemophobia and the role of education in decreasing its levels are discussed.The basic chemistry knowledge of first-year students in the disciplines Chemistry, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Health Sciences and Technology has been evaluated within the first three weeks of the Fall semester with a Moodle-based quiz at ETH Zurich. It consists of 37 small problems testing the knowledge that ETH students entering the lecture courses General Chemistry 1 (Inorganic Chemistry) (AC1) and Organic Chemistry 1 (OC1) should ideally have. An initial set of questions was developed by Bernhard Jaun (ETH Zurich) in 2007, it was combined with questions from an evaluation created in 2015 by Markus Müller (secondary school II teacher). The results of a total of 925 students who took part in the 2016 and 2017 evaluations are presented. It was found that 80% of the students of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences (AC1 course) and 70% of the students of Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Health Sciences and Technology (OC1 course) scored ≥60%. Students who took the focus course (Schwerpunktfach) Biology and Chemistry at the SEK II level (Swiss school system) performed on average 13-18% better and with a smaller standard deviation than other students.
