Self-reported Costs of Endometriosis Patients in Germany.

Endometriosis patients face a significant economic burden. In addition to the directly attributable costs of the diagnosis and therapy of endometriosis, such as drug treatment and multimodal pain therapy, various indirect follow-up costs can be expected, e.g.

Influence of App-Based Self-Management on the Quality of Life of Women With Endometriosis.

Introduction: Endometriosis can significantly impair the quality of life of those affected. Multimodal self-help measures are recommended but are often difficult to access. Smartphone apps have been shown to improve the quality of life for other conditions with chronic pain.

Alternative to antimicrobial growth promoters in the diets of broilers challenged with subclinical necrotic enteritis.

Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a disease of worldwide distribution, which affects young broilers and causes economic losses on a scale of 6 billion dollars per year. For decades, NE was controlled in poultry flocks by dietary administration of low doses of antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs). However, an increase in NE incidence was noted after the AGP ban.

Observational pilot study on the influence of an app-based self-management program on the quality of life of women with endometriosis.

Purpose: Endometriosis can significantly impair the quality of life of those affected. Multimodal self-help measures are recommended but often difficult to access. Smartphone apps have been shown to improve the quality of life for other conditions with chronic pain.

Long-term efficacy of glycerine-processed amniotic membrane transplantation in patients with corneal ulcer.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the long-term treatment efficacy of glycerine-preserved human amniotic membrane transplantation in patients suffering from corneal ulcers.

Methods: This was a retrospective, non-controlled, monocentric analysis. Included were patients with corneal ulcers that were non-responsive to ointment or contact lenses and had been treated by amniotic membrane transplantation with either the overlay or sandwich procedure.
