Their innovative products and systems are making an increasingly significant contribution to improving the efficiency and quality of patient care. Could convince any of them as part of the world's largest medical fair MEDICA and leading trade fair for upstream supplies in medical production, COMPAMED. The specialists from doctors' offices, clinics, Laboratories, the trade and industry, seized the opportunity and was an impressive presence in Dusseldorf.

On the four days, despite considerable disruption caused by the nationwide rail strike, around 137,000 trade visitors from over 100 countries to the Rhine (2006: 137 500 visitors).

promises quality management in medical practices more transparent and comprehensive care for patients



Berlin - Each Party must practice in Germany until the end of 2009 and four introduced years after opening a quality management system. The goal is to make medical quality standards review. How is the quality management can be implemented in internal medicine practices, the advantages and disadvantages it for patients and doctors to experts discuss in the framework of the 1st Internal German parliament in Berlin. Organizers of the conference are the Association of German Internists (BDI) and the German Society of Internal Medicine (DGIM).

Quality Management describes a wide field: A goal is that information to the patient within the practice where gaps further. Another is to advise and train the patients about their disease to regular maintenance of medical equipment.

doth the quality of medical care, it uses the patient: "Such a quality increase in disease, the probability that developing therapeutic measures a favorable outcome," said Dr. Berndt Birkner, Munich. In cooperation with the BDI and the physicians' Federation of Internal quality management for internal medicine has developed. would be for him it is the ideal case, when each patient was up to his doctor with a written report from the field. "The patient can then track what was done and how it goes with him. He has a care concept. "The expert believes that the appreciation of doctors and their staff will increase if the quality of performance is visible.

doctors to give more security quality management in creating the diagnosis and treatment. Because what it set out guidelines to help physicians make their decisions about diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the sequences are in an economic practice and better understood. It is true that quality management with documentation effort, as it lived on data and facts, Birkner said before the internist day, "But only if I record something, it is for other identifiable and traceable," the analyst said.



Each practitioner is free to develop its own quality management system or a commercially available product to be acquired domain. What is important is that medical practices consider statutory framework.

When keyhole surgery is appropriate?

studies on minimally invasive techniques

Bochum - For 15 years, conducted in Germany so-called keyhole surgery with minimally invasive surgical techniques. Gall bladder, appendix and part of the colon are now removed without an abdominal incision. Which patients benefit from surgery this technique is a subject of the press conference on 13 September at the Gastroenterology 2007: August 12 to 15 September in Bochum.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques delight patients, because they mean much smaller scars and usually shorter hospital stays. However, not everything that is technically possible to make sense. "There are a lot of - particularly benign - diseases, where the superiority or at least equivalence of minimally invasive surgical techniques compared with open operations studies showed," Professor says med Köckerling, president of the German Society of Visceral Surgery (DGVC ), Hannover.

More safety for patients by skill

Visceral Surgery 2007, 12 to 15 September, Bochum

Minimally invasive surgery in the abdomen:

More safety for patients through qualification

Bochum - Minimally invasive interventions in the abdomen for patients above all safe and useful when they are performed by well trained surgeons. However, the training and education is lagging minimally invasive surgery of the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques in many areas afterwards. What additional qualifications are required and how to identify these patients may explain experts of the German Society of Visceral Surgery (DGVC) at a press conference on 13 September in Bochum.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques are particularly useful in the abdomen: the technology allows complex procedures without large abdominal incision, thus reducing the number of wound healing. However, this technique can only be gentler on the patient if the surgery without complications runs. "Studies show that the learning curve in minimally invasive surgery, even for experienced open abdominal surgery is very long," says Professor Dr. med Köckerling, President of the DGVC, Hannover. This professional association has therefore already some years ago the certificate, Minimally invasive surgery 'was introduced, proving the necessary additional qualifications of the surgeons: The qualification looks far from a certain number of courses, internships and minimally invasive surgery. In addition, recordings will be submitted for review. The certificate shall be supplemented in future by a practical test: An experienced expert observed several minimally invasive surgery a surgeon, before it receives the certificate.

A further requirement of DGVC and their Surgical Association for Minimally Invasive Surgery (Camic) is that not only the surgeons are qualified, but also the hospitals. This example, must have adequate equipment and instruments and participate in measures for quality assurance. "Patients will have a minimally invasive procedure to undergo in the abdomen, can choose their hospital. You should pay attention to the proper qualifications, " Professor recommends Köckerling.

thigh and hip and the preservation of bodily function
in the elderly.

Other important issues include the care of patients with injuries of different degrees of severity
and accident prevention. They are at the heart of many
courses, scientific meetings and are the object of experimental
forums. The trauma management plays a

three pillars of the Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology.
"But the big intersection of the two subjects and the individual
diversity of each discipline are on equal footing. It could also complement
orthopedic surgeons and primary physicians, the current system of
house and specialty care to patients with diseases of the housing and

DGCH welcomes further development of quality reports for clinics

Berlin - In search of a suitable hospital patients from
this fall is a better source of information: The
"Quality Report 2007" is the first time data on the quality of
medical care in some 1,500 hospitals in Germany publish. Patients
allows the report to inform themselves about, for example, which performs what operation
clinic as often and with what results. The
increases transparency and thus the autonomy of the patient,
what the German Society of Surgery (DGCH) welcome.

The need for information about the quality of medical services is
size in patients. to obtain reliable information, but
is still difficult. Regionally there are - on a voluntary basis and with
of different quality - internal medical quality data, such as
in Hamburg, Berlin and the Ruhr. The quality reports, however, which must publish
clinics since 2005 every two years, previously in
primarily a collection of beds, staff and case numbers or
of equipment and therapeutic Equipment. Information on the quality of the services are
is still barely mentioned.

The quality report 2007 now - initially for a selection of
services - open data to allow a direct assessment of the treatment
. The ten areas of care
considered include the use of pacemakers, the removal of the gall bladder
, hip and knee prostheses or carotid artery surgery.
For each intervention so-called quality indicators
established which allow conclusions about the success of treatment. Sun
is held if and how often, for example, after a knee joint replacement
had unplanned follow-up operations, whether infection occurred in the operating suite
or how the joint mobility was at discharge. The data are from the
nationwide raised external quality assurance.
Clinic Internal results must now complete and in an understandable form for patients
be published. "This is the
strengthened autonomy of the patient and allows him a partnership
decision making," says Professor Dr. Hartwig Bauer, Secretary General of the
DGCH. "For hospitals, the surgery and the surgical
power to a" brand "with which it also "Consists

One of the biggest challenges is to avoid a so-called
risk adjustment of distorting the data," can promote
. The
successful treatment at a clinic in a service area is always
depending on their treatment profile, "explained Professor Bauer. clinics,
would in many difficult cases would get treated, eventually
other results than those in which only mild cases were treated
. "We must ensure that clinics do not dispense with a complicated and difficult

" said Bauer.

that indeed the patient is a need for reliable information
, confirmed in a recent survey among 2,000
health insurance. This showed that patients rely mainly on the choice of a
hospital on three sources of information. The strongest demand
was still the family doctor's recommendation and most
importance is attached. The Internet with the quality reports will

German Society for Surgery again criticized Tissue Act of the Federal Government and offers solutions


? Berlin - The current federally-specified tissues law "will be difficult

"The way to continue to pursue foreign control is excessively bureaucratic, and
generated additional costs for medical facilities, health insurance and
countries," says Professor Dr. Hartwig Bauer, general secretary of DGCH
in Berlin. Personnel and operating costs would be, for example, extremely high - among other things
by costly monitoring and reporting systems. "Most importantly, this approach involves
the risk of affecting patient care and reduce

Today, these so-called TVT operations, a standard procedure, which is also on Medi Cross Hospital Anhalt-Zerbst performed.

In his own words says Dr. Zeno Comlosan much on the new appointment on Zerbst hospital. Under his leadership the good performance to continue the clinic for gynecology and obstetrics in recent years. The clinic will continue to offer a wide range of services in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. Attaches particular importance to Dr. Comlosan established good contacts with the gynecologists in Zerbst and environment. In the efforts of recent years to strengthen cooperation tie he wants.

Dr. Comlosan is married and father of a child. Once it finds a suitable place, he will bring his family to Zerbst and hit roots here.

genetic test detects deadly heart disease young people - implant could save lives

Berlin / Wiesbaden - a genetic defect on chromosome 12 is often a cause of
rare heart disease that is responsible for sudden deaths, especially in younger people
. The risk of "arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
(ARVD) would be through a genetic test
early on - an electronic device could save the lives of those affected
. At a press conference of the German Society of Internal Medicine
(DGIM) in Berlin, Professor Dr. med
Ludwig Thierfelder, who discovered the genetic defect, in the project.



found in international studies, the heart specialist at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin
revealed that about a quarter of all patients with ARVD
a defect in the gene for the protein plakophilin-2.
It is part of the so-called intercalated discs, which interlock in the heart muscle
closely. The result of the genetic defect, loosen
connections between the cells. In the long run turns
tissue of the heart muscle in the connective and fatty tissue. From a young age
may occur in those affected with life-threatening heart rhythm disturbances
. Often they remain unnoticed for a long, but may at any time
sudden cardiac death . Trigger People with ARVD have a low life expectancy
- for some genetic defects it is below 40 years.



of the research group of Professor Thierfelder
developed genetic test can avert this fate. "If we identify these people have made
, is to help them effectively with an implantable cardioverter"
says the doctor. The defibrillator (ICD) or "definition" is not much bigger than
a heart pacemaker. Herznah planted it automatically detects the
fatal irregular heartbeat. The device then immediately from a current surge, which enables the heart
restart in normal rhythm.



"Our show together with another German, American and Canadian researchers
experience that the implantation of an ICD in
these people is very useful," explains Professor Thierfelder. The cardiologist started
therefore also in Germany to search for these patients
. Notes can frequent palpitations, an already
suffered cardiac arrest or similar cases are in the family. The patients usually have abnormal findings in
echocardiogram or electrocardiogram, which
by any doctor to easily manufactured electrocardiogram. Genetic tests can
in the diagnosis of ARVD are the crucial link. Slightly more than half
ARVD-gene carriers of the disease. "If the genetic defect identified in good time,
could save these people the implantation of a defibrillator life," says Professor
Thierfelder. On the 113th Annual Meeting of the DGIM in Wiesbaden
he referenced in this context, one of the main themes of the Congress
: molecular medicine.

strengthening of clinical research in Germany

German Society of Internal Medicine

urges strengthening of clinical research in Germany

Berlin - The German Society of Internal Medicine (DGIM) provides for the
university clinical research in Germany in a dilemma:
science perspective is considered crucial for the future. The
variety of meaningful, high-quality programs is great. Nevertheless, says DGIM
is the clinical research often doomed to failure
, as the researchers themselves are increasingly burdened and
are paid less. DGIM experts discussed this today in
a press conference in Berlin.



Clinical Research comprises mainly of university research
at and for the patient. On the one hand, one clinic near
basic research. This examines processes which lead to the creation of
diseases. On the other hand, are clinical trials to develop
prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases to
and tested. "In fact, many of the currently
initiated programs in principle suitable to reach these high goals
," said Professor Wolfgang Hiddemann, MD, Chairman of the
DGIM. Excellence initiatives, or competence networks pursued as
the right approach: you assign resources
clinical research according to certain quality criteria to designated
working groups. Laws and regulations, but considerably more difficult
the implementation, says the director of the Medical Clinic and Policlinic III
at the Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich
.

According DGIM hampered above all the new Higher Education Act
clinical research at universities in Germany - the last
amended on 1 January 2007. The Regulation has determined under
alia the framework for new managers: The
W-grade replaces the C-grade. If a habilitation
clinically experienced senior physician a W2 professorship at reduced with
base salary was around 600, - €. Also covered compensation for overtime and standby service
away without compensation. "So what should this
colleagues motivated to pursue a scientific career
and a professor to compete?" Says the president of the Congress this year's 113th
to consider annual meeting of the DGIM. Already a
significant decrease of the next generation of medical
university hospitals was noted. Only a relatively small proportion of candidates
interest in medical research and
have a university career. This

illustrate a central dilemma: "All no matter how reasonable
programs to strengthen clinical research at the universities
will fail because do that, those who make this research
and do demotivated substantial and disillusioned
be, "said Professor Hiddemann. To the undoubted great
potential use of university clinical research in Germany,
needed young, rising scientists
the appropriate support from federal and state policy.
