[Care-related Case Management and the experienced burden of informal caregivers: empirical study].

Care-related Case Management and the experienced burden of informal caregivers: empirical study Informal caregivers are responsible for the majority of home care in Germany. Their experience of stress is becoming more and more relevant given the tense staffing situation in outpatient professional care in rural areas. Case management as an innovative approach to caring in peripheral areas also focuses on the burden experienced by informal caregivers.

Nickel release from metal items in contact with skin: a comparison of methods and practical implications for regulation in Europe.

Contact allergy to Nickel is the most prevalent contact allergy in western societies. This has led to regulation for metallic items that come into prolonged and direct contact with the skin, such as buttons on clothing, belt buckles, jewelry and watches. In Europe, the legal provision is based on a test in which there is a limit to the amount of nickel that may be released from the item to an artificial sweat solution (EN 1811).

Understanding the mechanisms of groundwater recharge and flow in periglacial environments: New insights from the Ledo-Paniselian aquifer in Belgium.

The Ledo-Paniselian aquifer in Belgium has been proposed to offer unique opportunities to study groundwater recharge and flow in periglacial conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), due to its location in the permanent permafrost area, south of the ice sheet at that time. A palaeoclimatic record had been set up previously for this aquifer, consisting of major ion chemistry, stable isotopes, radiocarbon and noble gases. In this paper, methane data have been used to further refine the paleoclimatic model, along with revisiting in detail the set of chemical data, focusing on the area where groundwaters, recharged around the LGM, are known to occur.

Global trends in myopia management attitudes and strategies in clinical practice - 2019 Update.

Purpose: A survey in 2015 identified a high level of eye care practitioner concern about myopia with a reported moderately high level of activity, but the vast majority still prescribed single vision interventions to young myopes. This research aimed to update these findings 4 years later.

Methods: A self-administrated, internet-based questionnaire was distributed in eight languages, through professional bodies to eye care practitioners globally.
