The professional activity of policemen is connected to psychological and physical stress. The aim of this study was to identify the work specific requirements and stress as well as to deter-mine the exact circumstances of the experience of traumatic events and their coping. Additionally the occurrence of potentially traumatising situations during operations and the prevalence of PTSD symptoms were investigated in detail using questionnaires. As traumatising events severe traffic accidents, use of firearms, but also non-specific operations resulting in death, e. g. the killing of a child, were listed by the policemen. The knowledge of the psychological stress and its sources as well as the analysis of the exact circumstances of traumatic events are helpful in preventing PTSDs more efficiently, e. g. by special trainings for coping with stress and conflicts, in faster identification and treatment using professional support.

Background: Many studies have indicated an association between maternal occupational exposure to hazardous agents, such as anticancer drugs and ionizing radiation, and an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirths or miscarriages and physical abnormalities in offspring. However, the effects of recent advancements in protective measures to reduce these risks have not been clarified. Aim To investigate the current impact of parental occupational exposure to anticancer drugs and ionizing radiation on stillbirths or miscarriages as well as physical abnormalities under the circumstances of the developed safety protocols.

Douglas abscesses (DA) involving the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes and tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) constitute a very rare finding in virginal females. Underlying conditions are suspected to play a role in their development; often however, the exact pathomechanism remains hypothetical or unknown. We report the case of a 19-year-old virginal female who was referred to our outpatient clinic for further clarification of a 6-month ongoing secondary amenorrhea.

Histological subtyping of diverse renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) has seen significant changes during the last two decades. This resulted in the introduction of several new phenotypically and genetically defined entities, many which are also listed in the current WHO classification. Some of these well-defined entities may, under certain circumstances, undergo a process of dedifferentiation resulting in loss of their phenotypic and immunohistochemical features, hence adopting a non-descript anaplastic morphology.
