Background: The two Kaiser Wilhelm-Institutes (KWI) in Berlin (1914, new building 1931) and in Munich (1917, new building 1926-28), specialized on pathologic anatomical as well as psychiatric genetic research, were set up before times of National Socialism.
Methods: Data evaluation is based on patient documents and annual reports of the archive of today's district hospital Günzburg and on patient documents (copies) of the historical archive of today's Max-Planck Institute of Psychiatry.
Results: The KWI in Munich was indirectly provided with brain material by Bavarian "Heil- und Pflegeanstalten" (state hospitals) including the state hospital Günzburg.
Conclusions: During National Socialism patients' organs were sent from the "Heil- und Pflegeanstalt" (state hospital) Günzburg to the KWI in Munich for the purpose of conducting research. Commemorating patients' fates and clarifying what happened defines a place of remembrance.

Multimorbidity is characterized by the presence of at least 3 chronic diseases with a prevalence of more than 50% of patients over 60 years old. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) enables a description of the severity of the multimorbidity and also provides a correlation with the postoperative outcome after liver resection. According to this, multimorbid patients are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality after liver resection, mostly due to postoperative liver failure.

Article Synopsis
- The BETTER-CARE study is investigating a personalized follow-up care system for breast cancer patients in Germany, focusing on individual needs and risks of long-term therapy side effects.
- It is a cluster-randomized controlled trial involving 30 centers aiming to recruit 1,140 patients, with the primary goal of improving health-related quality of life.
- The pilot phase showed that the approach is feasible, and if successful, it could become a part of routine care in Germany.
