The relationship between changes in mood and drive, or depressiveness, and the use of hormonal contraceptives has long been discussed and studied. Estrogens are thought to have more of an antidepressant effect, while progestins are more likely to have a mood-dampening effect. Danish authors published a large, population-based, prospective cohort study that for the first … Risk of Depression due to Hormonal Contraception
Therapeutic Targets Improvement of quality of life or expectancy. Avoidance of complications (eg, malignant arrhythmogenic events/life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias)). Therapy recommendations Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) This is an abnormal enlargement (dilation) of the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle (heart chamber). For therapy: Causal (cause-related) therapy: Cardiomyopathy caused by viruses can be treated with interferon (immunostimulation drug) … Heart Muscle Diseases (Cardiomyopathies): Drug Therapy
Chondroprotectants inhibit cartilage-degrading substances and thus reduce further loss of protective cartilage. At the same time, they promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue.Furthermore, they are believed to have an anti-inflammatory effect. As a result, there is a reduction in pain, swelling and improved joint mobility. The greatest success is achieved by injecting chondroprotectants directly into … Hip Osteoarthritis (Coxarthrosis): Cartilage-Protective Agents (Chondroprotectants)

Pathogenesis (development of disease) Pneumonia usually results from descending (ascending) infections, but it can also result from aspiration (entry of foreign bodies or fluid into the respiratory tract) and hematogenous (“caused by the blood“) dissemination. In this case, the pathogens usually have several virulence factors (characteristic of a microorganism that determines its pathogenic effect) that … Pneumonia: Causes
Mandatory medical device diagnostics. Measurement of blood pressure and pulse rate Electrocardiogram (ECG; recording of the electrical activity of the heart muscle). Measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification in … Poisonings (Intoxications): Diagnostic Tests

The virus belongs to lineage B of the beta coronaviruses; it is an enveloped (+)ssRNA virus. The mucus-producing goblet cells and ciliated cells in the nasal cavity are likely the first target cells … COVID-19: Causes
Diabetes screening Diabetes screening using a blood test as part of newborn screening: by detecting multiple beta cell autoantibodies in the blood, type 1 diabetes can be detected at a very early, still asymptomatic stage with a sensitivity of almost 90%, thus preventing ketoacidosis. To prevent diabetic coma, attention must be paid to reducing individual … Diabetic Coma: Prevention
Olfactory disorders (synonyms: dysosmia, olfactory disorder, olfactory disorder) are classified as follows: Quantitative classification of olfaction Anosmia (ICD-10-GM R43.0). Functional anosmia: low residual ability, meaningful use of the sense of smell in everyday life not possible Complete anosmia: complete loss of olfaction/loss of sense of smell (loss of smell); no residual ability to smell. Hyposmia … Olfactory Disorders (Dysosmia)
Thank you procedure and risk assessment The approach to gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) must be based primarily on the clinical symptoms and localization of the source of bleeding. Occult hemorrhage can be promptly evaluated as an outpatient at rest: Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (ÖGD; endoscopic examination of the esophagus (food pipe), the gaster (stomach)) and the duodenum (duodenum)) and/or … Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Therapy
