Impact of High-Dose Early Mobilization on Outcomes for Patients with Diabetes: A Secondary Analysis of the TEAM Trial.

Patients with diabetes represent almost 20% of all ICU admissions and might respond differently to high-dose early active mobilization. To assess whether diabetes modified the relationship between the dose of early mobilization on clinical outcomes in the TEAM trial. All TEAM trial patients were included.

Protocol and statistical analysis plan for the phase 3 randomised controlled Treatment of Invasively Ventilated Adults with Early Activity and Mobilisation (TEAM III) trial.

To describe the protocol and statistical analysis plan for the Treatment of Invasively Ventilated Adults with Early Activity and Mobilisation (TEAM III) trial. An international, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised controlled phase 3 trial. Intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Brazil.

Anti-Factor-Xa and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Concordance and Outcomes in Adults Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Secondary Analysis of the Pilot Low-Dose Heparin in Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Randomized Trial.

Objectives: To determine the concordance between activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and anti-factor-Xa (anti-Xa) in adults undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to identify the factors associated with discordant paired aPTT/anti-Xa.

Design: Pre-planned secondary analysis of the Low-Dose Heparin in Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation pilot randomized unblinded, parallel-group controlled trial.

Setting: Two ICUs in two university hospitals.

[How does the surgical society (DGAV) support the continuing medical training in general and visceral surgery?].

The medical councils (Ärztekammern) develop the contents of the further training regulations with the support of the specialist society. The hospitals with the training supervisors have to implement these contents for the trainees in continuing education and confirm the acquisition of competence for the individual tasks. Surveys of young surgeons in recent years have shown that many participants do not receive structured continuing education, so that there is general dissatisfaction.

[Future of University Medicine: How Important are Research and Teaching? - An Inventory].

The requirements and challenges for the university hospitals in Germany are changing. Especially in surgical subjects, it is more and more difficult to adequately serve these three pillars of university medicine - clinic, research and education. This survey was intended to determine the status quo of general and visceral surgery at universities, in order to provide a basis for proposed solutions.
