Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate whether psychological distress increased in a German community sample from Saxony during the course of the Corona pandemic.
Methods: In 2017/2018 and 2022, N=289 participants (54.7% female) of the Saxon Longitudinal Study were interviewed about their psychological well-being using questionnaires (PHQ-4, SSS-8).
Results: There is a significant increase in complaints (anxiety, depression, psychological distress, physical complaints) compared to 2017/2018 to 2022 with effect sizes in the small and medium range (Cohens d=0.26-0.62).
Conclusion: Data collection was not due to the pandemic but was routine as part of an ongoing long-term study. The Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in psychological distress and physical complaints in a Saxonian, age-homogeneous population sample.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.

In orofacial pain patients, pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and neuropathic pain (NP) can both be present. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine whether in patients with orofacial pain, associations can be found between (subdiagnoses of) pain-related TMD and NP. Participants were asked to fill in the questionnaires of the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (DC/TMD) and a screening questionnaire for NP, the Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4).

Background: Mass Casualty Events (MCI) which have a direct and persisting impact on the safety and well-being of an emergency department (ED) and its staff, secondary to specific targeting of the healthcare setting, represent a distinct and complex operational challenge. ED physicians may be faced with the prospect of providing ongoing patient care while simultaneously experiencing direct threats to their own health or physical safety. In our study we considered the unique operational challenges encountered, and management strategies adopted, by the ED staff and its leadership to an all-hazard MCI impacting an academic urban emergency department.

Background: Obesity is a growing health issue that contributes to numerous diseases and lowers quality of life. In patients with super obesity (BMI > 50 kg/m²), bariatric surgery, particularly laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), is a common treatment option. However, the role of antral resection (AR) in LSG remains unclear, especially in this high-risk population.

Study Design: Retrospective review.
Objectives: While most individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are expected to have 1-2 urinary tract infections (UTIs) per year, there is a subset with higher incidence. We evaluate our practice to characterize common causes of recurrent UTIs, hypothesizing that more frequent infections typically have addressable risk factors.
