Background: Strategies to counteract the impending and in some places already existing shortage of general practitioners (GPs) are being discussed in Germany. One approach could be to establish interprofessional teams in GP practices by integrating physician assistants (PAs).
Question: Can GPs imagine employing a PA in their practice and if so, under what conditions?
Methods: In March/April 2023, about 5,000 GPs in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), who work in a region with a care level of < 100 %, and about 1,000 GPs from Saxony-Anhalt were asked to take part in an online-based survey.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major global health threat, leading to higher morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare expenses. Intensive care units (ICUs) present a particularly high risk of developing HAIs. This study aims to examine the risk factors of HAIs among healthcare workers (HCWs) in the ICUs of selected public hospitals.

Aging naturally involves a decline in biological functions, often triggering a disequilibrium of physiological processes. A common outcome is the altered response exerted by the immune system to counteract infections, known as immunosenescence, which has been recognized as a primary cause, among others, of the so-called long-COVID syndrome. Moreover, the uncontrolled immunoreaction leads to a state of subacute, chronic inflammatory state known as inflammaging, responsible in turn for the chronicization of concomitant pathologies in a self-sustaining process.

Whilst the cliché tells us that there is nothing permanent except change, Darwin realised that it's "not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change".
