[Work Participation after Medical Rehabilitation due to Mental Disorders: Representative Analyses Using Routine Data of the German Pension Insurance].

Purpose: The particular relevance of mental disorders for society and the economy is highlighted in the context of work participation. Based on representative routine data from the pension insurance from 2017, the aim of the study was to describe a group of psychosomatic rehabilitation patients recruited on the basis of selected characteristics, examine the return to work (RTW) rates, to assess individual progression after rehabilitation and to identify possible influencing factors.

Methods: Work participation was operationalized both as a monthly state up to 24 months after rehabilitation and as a rate of all people who were employed 12 or 24 months and the 3 preceding months (stable work participation).

Metabolomics of dietary fatty acid restriction in patients with phenylketonuria.

Background: Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have to follow a lifelong phenylalanine restricted diet. This type of diet markedly reduces the intake of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). Long-chain saturated fatty acids are substrates of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation for acetyl-CoA production.
