Lessons Learned-The Impact of the Third Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic on German Waldorf Parents' Support Needs and Their Rating of Children's Health-Related Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey.

Background: COVID-19-related lockdowns and homeschooling have imposed a substantial burden on school-aged children and parents. Waldorf education is a reform-educational concept. Little is known about the situation of German Waldorf families under pandemic conditions.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) and cirrhosis of the liver: A case report and literature review.

Patients with cirrhosis of the liver usually present with a small shrunken liver and a large spleen. The presence of an unusually huge liver should prompt the treating doctor to look for another cause, as this may be treatable and improve the patient's outcome. In South Africa tuberculosis and lymphoma in the presence of HIV infection should be excluded.

Hemorrhage after low-energy pelvic trauma.

Background: Severe pelvic hemorrhage after low-energy trauma has been described in some reports of single cases only. However, it might not be as rare and unique as generally expected. The aim of this study was therefore to present a case series of 11 patients with severe pelvic hemorrhage after sustaining low-energy trauma and to discuss relevant considerations for the management of these patients.

The epidemiology of sports-related injuries in older adults: a central European epidemiologic study.

Background And Aims: The population is rapidly aging and remaining more active over the age of 65. An increasing number of sports related injuries in individuals 65 and older are thus anticipated. The aim of this study is to analyze the epidemiology of sports injuries in the age group aged 65 and older.

Early identification of bacteria leading to central venous catheter contamination.

Unlabelled: Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are a common problem in patients after central venous catheterization. Using DNA analysis we compared bacteria found on the tip of central venous catheters removed because of clinical signs of CRBSI with bacteria found on needle, dilator, and guidewire used for insertion of these catheters. In five of seven central venous catheters removed because of clinical signs of CRBSI, bacteria on the catheter tip were genetically identical to bacteria found on the insertion device, proving that catheter contamination in these cases was caused by contacting bacteria during the initial puncture.
