[The impact of an emercency form on the place of death of palliative care patients].

A pilot study conducted by our research group in 2019 showed that a decision made in advance about the transfer of palliative care patients documented within the emergency information was associated with the actual place of death, thus realizing the patient's wishes regarding the place of death. There were also details on how the scope, duration, and frequency of home visits by mobile palliative care teams should be designed in order to fulfill patients' wishes regarding the place of death. Systematic reviews point to a discrepancy between preferred and actual places of death and a lack of prospective studies and data to support patients and their caregivers.

[Case report on deviant care measures of a PICC line on a palliative patient].

A PICC line is a peripheral, through a vein inserted, central venous catheter. There are different engineered stabilisation devices - some are with and some without a sutural. This is an individual case-report which only looks at one concrete fixing system with an adhesive plate (StatLock®).

[A retrospective study about the influence of an emergency information form on the place of death of palliative care patients].

In palliative medicine planning in advance is important for critical care situations. It is highly significant to make useful and by the patient and his relatives desired decisions. These concern transport in a situation of crisis and the venue of death (either death at home or transfer to a hospital).

Ba5{V,Nb}12Sb19+x, novel variants of the Ba5Ti12Sb19+x-type: crystal structure and physical properties.

The novel compounds Ba5{V,Nb}12Sb19+x, initially found in diffusion zone experiments between Ba-filled skutterudite Ba0.3Co4Sb12 and group V transition metals (V,Nb,Ta), were synthesized via solid state reaction and were characterized by means of X-ray (single crystal and powder) diffraction, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and physical (transport and mechanical) properties measurements. Ba5V12Sb19.

[Influence of music on the quality of life of palliative cancer patients].

A small prospective, multicentre study examined the effect of a perceptual acoustic stimulus (music) on quality of life of palliative cancer patients with special reference to pain.14 test subjects (m = 4, w = 10; age 67.6 (SD = 9.

Effects of a single bout of walking exercise on blood coagulation parameters in obese women.

Obesity is associated with increased prevalence of thromboembolic events. We aimed to investigate whether obese women might benefit from vigorous aerobic exercise. Forty-two overweight and obese women performed a 30-min walking exercise test (treadmill ergometer) at an intensity of 70% of individual peak oxygen uptake.
