Gemäß den Daten des European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies sind kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen die häufigste Todesursache in Deutschland. Ein erheblicher Anteil dieser Todesfälle gilt als durch Prävention vermeidbar (1). Große multinationale Studien haben arterielle Hypertonie, Dyslipidämie, Diabetes, Body-Mass-Index und aktuelles Rauchen als die wichtigsten Risikofaktoren für kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen und Mortalität identifiziert (2). In jüngerer […]

The statements of the thesis paper author group between April 2020 and June 2022 covered three levels: the infection epidemiological situation as a basis, the modern, multimodal prevention concepts as an option for action and the societal level as a context that must be taken into account. Numerous other groups and individuals have set comparable priorities, but overall the reversal of central professional standards in health care with regard to infection management could not be prevented, nor could the use of inadequate prevention concepts and the narrowing of social discourse, the incitement of critical opinions and the revival of “governance” .

Von den weltweit circa 11 Millionen sepsis-assoziierten Todesfällen hält die WHO die Mehrzahl für vermeidbar. Hierfür gibt es zwei wesentliche Ansatzpunkte: erstens die Prävention von Infektionen und zweitens die frühzeitige Erkennung von Sepsis-Symptomen, denn eine Sepsis ist ein medizinischer Notfall, bei dem jede zeitliche Verzögerung die Prognose verschlechtert. Da seit langem bekannt ist, dass in Deutschland das Sepsis-Wissen älterer Menschen, die per se einer Risikogruppe angehören, gering ist (Eitze et al. 2018), fördert das Bundesgesundheitsministerium seit Juli 2021 den Aufbau der Kampagne „Deutschland erkennt Sepsis“ (1), die vom Aktionsbündnis Patientensicherheit, dem Sepsis-Dialog der Universitätsmedizin Greifswald, der Deutschen Sepsis-Hilfe sowie der Deutschen Sepsis-Stiftung gemeinsam umgesetzt wird.

Chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) contributes significantly to mortality, morbidity and loss of quality of life in Germany. Improved therapies and secondary and tertiary drug prevention have contributed to a significant decrease in CHD-related mortality in recent years. The improved survival with CHD and the growing proportion of the older population lead to an increase in the prevalence of the disease and its complications. The present publication is intended to present the morbidity, mortality and prevalence of chronic CHD in Germany and to identify the population groups that are particularly frequently affected by the disease. In addition, aspects of the burden of disease (quality of life, premature mortality and medical costs) are taken into account. Furthermore, gaps in care and potential for optimizing secondary and tertiary prevention for patients with chronic CHD should be identified.

In an increasingly volatile and fast-moving time, brands are becoming more and more important for consumers - also in their role as health insured people. However, if the brand image created by the company does not match the actual brand identity, dissonances occur with counterproductive effects. An aspect that is becoming more important than ever for statutory health insurance companies (GKVn), among other things due to the resulting market confusion and product diversity.

On February 1, 2006, a pilot project began in Wolfsburg that was intended to examine the suitability of a new concept for preventing cervical cancer for everyday use. In order to evaluate the project, it is essential to understand the special features of cervical cancer, in particular the knowledge gained over the last three decades from basic research on the role of human papilloma viruses (HPV) in the development of this tumor.

Diabetic foot syndrome is a secondary disease of diabetes mellitus and often leads to non-traumatic amputations. These are associated with high medical costs, loss of quality of life and high mortality (Heller et al. 2004). Diabetic foot syndrome occurs with a prevalence of 6.5% among type 2 diabetes patients (Lauterbach et al. 2010). Endogenous risk factors such as B. diabetic polyneuropathy or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have a prevalence of 30% and 25%, respectively (Lauterbach et al. 2010). Prevention of diabetic foot syndrome is therefore very important. In addition to the endogenous risk factors mentioned, exogenous factors such as: For example, inadequate footwear or poor foot care play a crucial role (Uccioli et al. 1995; Chantelau/Haage 1994; Brent et al. 2006). According to the International Consensus on the Diabetic Foot (1999), the prevalence of diabetic foot syndrome could be reduced through, among other things, regular inspections of the feet and footwear, training of patients and family members and the wearing of suitable footwear. An important and effective intervention measure is to train and instruct patients to self-inspect their feet.
