[Magdeburg Medical School - Logbook for Surgical Training of Final Year Medical Students - an Interdisciplinary, Medical School-Specific Concept Based on the Guidelines Issued by the Medical School Association ("Medizinischer Fakultätentag") in 2012].

Background: The final year is the last part of the study of human medicine and can be regarded as an essential period, during which medical knowledge should be consequently converted into medical expertise. Since the amendment of the medical license policy ("Ärztliche Approbationsordnung" [ÄApprO]) from July 17, 2012, in particular, since April 01, 2013, German universities have been obliged to provide a training schedule such as a "logbook" for this final year, specifically for the mandatory time periods within surgery and internal medicine. In preparation for this innovation, the German Medical School Association ("Medizinischer Fakultätentag") presented basic logbooks as consensus documents in June 2012.

Lessons learned in applying the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research methodology to translating Canadian Emergency Department Information System Presenting Complaints List into German.

Objectives: The patient's presenting complaint guides diagnosis and treatment in the emergency department, but there is no classification system available in German. The Canadian Emergency Department Information System (CEDIS) Presenting Complaint List (PCL) is available only in English and French. As translation risks the altering of meaning, the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) has set guidelines to ensure translational accuracy.

[Value of clinical key symptoms in the primary treatment of severely injured patients].

Background: The initial diagnostic procedure of severely injured patients in the emergency room (ER) during the primary survey is first and foremost a clinical examination. The clinical S3 guidelines provide recommendations for the treatment of patients with severe and multiple injuries.

Objectives: The study was performed to investigate the reliability of clinical key symptoms or red flags registered in the ER that lead to further diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

[Atypical femoral fractures in bisphosphonate therapy].

Bisphosphonates (BP) play an important role in the therapy of osteoporosis as they effectively reduce the risk of fractures. Atypical femoral fractures (AFF) have recently been described as an adverse effect of BP treatment. We present 3 women under therapy with BP, who had five AFF, among these three complete and two incomplete fractures.
