[Intensive care and emergency medicine overuse and sustainability].

This review examines the issue of overtreatment and overdiagnosis in the context of intensive care and emergency medicine and its relationship to sustainability. It shows that the intensive use of resources, both human and technology, is often associated with risks of overuse, especially in critical medical situations. More diagnostic and therapeutic measures are often taken than necessary, leading to both stress for the patient and a high consumption of resources.

[Summary of the S1 guideline on sustainability in intensive care and emergency medicine].

Background: Man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the future. The course is being set in the current generation. As the healthcare sector contributes a considerable proportion of greenhouse gas emissions, measures to counteract this must be introduced as a matter of urgency.

Improved functionality, health related quality of life and decreased burden of disease in patients with ADHD treated with OROS® MPH: is treatment response different between children and adolescents?

Background: To compare clinical and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes between children and adolescents with ADHD treated with OROS® MPH, using data from two large similarly-designed multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm, non-interventional studies.

Methods: Pooled analysis (42603ATT4037, 42603 - ATT - 4001) including patients (6 to 18 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD. Patients were treated with OROS® MPH for 12 weeks; ADHD symptoms, functioning, HRQoL, safety and tolerability parameters were assessed.
