[Distribution of Health Science Experts and Public Health Professionals in Public Health Departments in Germany].

Background: There is limited data on the number and distribution of academically qualified professionals in the field of Public Health at the lower level of health authorities. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of Public Health Professionals in Public Health Authorities in Germany.

Method: An online survey was conducted with the directors of the 376 German Public Health Authorities regarding the presence of Public Health Professionals and their views on personnel needs.

Long-term results of arthroscopic capsulolabral revision repair for failed anterior shoulder instability repair using suture anchors at a minimum of 10 years follow-up.

Introduction: Arthroscopic revision anterior shoulder instability repair has been proposed, and early clinical results have been promising. However, long-term results after this procedure and the probable risk factors for failure have not been sufficiently discussed in the literature.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight patients who were diagnosed with recurrent anteroinferior shoulder instability after failed Bankart repair, treated with ACRR between September 1998 and November 2003 and able to be contacted were included.

Bus Riding as Amplification Mechanism for SARS-CoV-2 Transmission, Germany, 2021.

To examine the risk associated with bus riding and identify transmission chains, we investigated a COVID-19 outbreak in Germany in 2021 that involved index case-patients among bus-riding students. We used routine surveillance data, performed laboratory analyses, interviewed case-patients, and conducted a cohort study. We identified 191 case-patients, 65 (34%) of whom were elementary schoolchildren.

Instabilities and Osteoarthritis of the Sternoclavicular Joint.

Injury to the sternoclavicular joint (SCG) is very rare, accounting for 3% of shoulder injuries and < 1% of instabilities. Consequently, both the treatment of acute instabilities and their subsequent states (chronic instabilities/SCG arthrosis) are controversial. While treatment has so far been mostly conservative, in recent years there has been a trend towards surgical therapy.

Using AI and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging to assess liver function, comparing the MELIF score with the ALBI score.

Monitoring disease progression is particularly important for determining the optimal treatment strategy in patients with liver disease. Especially for patients with diseases that have a reversible course, there is a lack of suitable tools for monitoring liver function. The development and establishment of such tools is very important, especially in view of the expected increase in such diseases in the future.
