After a transitional period, all medical faculties were required to provide adequate teaching with an according examination and certification procedure. In parallel, we conducted bi-annual surveys on all medical faculties in Germany to examine for potential discrepancies between the implementation process and their intended consequences on teaching time and content. Methods: Four consecutive bi-annual surveys (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012) of all 36 medical faculties in Germany were performed, using purposively for this study developed questionnaires. Likert scales and closed questions were analyzed descriptively. Results: Medical Faculty response rate increased from 50 % in 2006 to 88.9 % in 2012. Teaching coordinators in palliative medicine primarily had an anesthesiology or internal medicine background. There was a noted increase over time of the involvement of specialized palliative care units (PCUs) as providing the setting for education. The number of faculties that were able to offer a complete 16 weeks of training in palliative medicine during the \"final year\" rose steadily. In addition, increased patient-centered teaching formats have been implemented over time. The faculties which offered innovative teaching formats with actors as patients (standardized patient interaction) increased, as did the total number of mandatory examinations. The number of faculties that provided compulsory teaching in a condensed manner within a single academic year increased sharply from 3 of 31 responding faculties in 2010 to 19 of 32 responding faculties in 2012. Conclusions: Until now, teaching conditions and structures in palliative medicine in Germany have proven to be extraordinarily heterogeneous. Although professorships (\"Chairs\") in palliative medicine proved to be particularly beneficial and supportive in curricular and structural development, only a minority of faculties provide leading academic positions in palliative medicine."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12909-015-0439-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000361280100001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26383546"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12293"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35944"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1472-6920"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Undergraduate education in palliative medicine in Germany: a longitudinal perspective on curricular and infrastructural development"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Querschnittsfach (Q13) verpflichtend in das studentische Curriculum eingeführt. Die Umsetzung dieser Änderung muss bis zum Beginn des Praktischen Jahres im August 2013 oder bei der Meldung zum Zweiten Abschnitt der Ärztlichen Prüfung für den Prüfungstermin im Oktober 2014 erfolgen. In vorangegangenen Umfragen wurden an den medizinischen Fakultäten in Deutschland sehr heterogene palliativmedizinische Lehrstrukturen beschrieben. Daher sollten nun die curricularen und prüfungsbezogenen Planungen der jeweiligen Fakultäten zur Implementierung eines verpflichtenden Q13 Palliativmedizin erfragt werden. Methodik: Die Bundesvertretung der Medizinstudierenden Deutschlands (bvmd) führt seit 2006 zweijährliche Umfragen an allen medizinischen Fakultäten in Deutschland zum gegenwärtigen Stand der palliativmedizinischen Lehre durch. Nach Konzeption eines Online-Fragebogens und Pilotierung erfolgte im Mai 2010 eine einmonatige Online-Umfrage. Die Daten wurden deskriptiv ausgewertet. Ergebnisse: 31 von 36 medizinischen Fakultäten nahmen an der Befragung teil. An 15 Fakultäten existierten zum Befragungszeitpunkt bereits verpflichtende Lehrveranstaltungen entsprechend der Vorgabe der neuen ÄApprO; an drei Standorten soll das Q13 Palliativmedizin erst ab dem Sommersemester 2012 verpflichtend eingeführt werden. An 15 Fakultäten bestand bereits ein Lehrcurriculum für Q13, teils angelehnt an die curricularen Vorgaben der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Palliativmedizin. Sechs Standorte beschrieben einen begonnenen Implementierungsprozess noch ohne Curriculum. An den meisten Fakultäten werden 21-40 Lehrveranstaltungsstunden angestrebt, die überwiegend in Form von Vorlesungen oder Seminaren, seltener auch in betreuungsintensiveren Formaten angeboten werden sollen. Die Mehrzahl der teilnehmenden Fakultäten strebt eine Prüfung in Form von Multiple Choice Fragen an. An 8 Universitäten bestand ein eigenständiger Lehrstuhl für Palliativmedizin (5 weitere in Planung); dies war mit einem höheren Maß an Pflichtlehre analog der Vorgabe der ÄApprO verbunden. Ein breites Spektrum an lehrbeteiligten Berufsgruppen, Fachdisziplinen und externen Kooperationspartnern wurde angegeben. Schlussfolgerung: Die infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen, die bisherigen curricularen Planungen und der Grad der Implementierung des Q13 analog der Vorgabe der neuen ÄApprO divergieren zwischen den einzelnen medizinischen Fakultäten erheblich. Die Bemühungen um eine qualitativ hochwertige Lehre in Hinblick auf die vielschichtigen Fragestellungen bei der Betreuung schwerst- und sterbenskranker Patienten spiegeln sich in der Umfrage ebenso wider wie der besondere Stellenwert eines eigenständigen Lehrstuhls für Palliativmedizin für die Umsetzung der gesetzlichen Vorgaben. Die Mitwirkung der verschiedenen Berufsverbände an dieser Umfrage sowie das große Spektrum der Lehrbeteiligten unterstreicht die interdisziplinäre und multiprofessionelle Dimension palliativmedizinischer Lehre."],["dc.identifier.fs","591769"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22737202"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9539"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61440"],["dc.language.iso","de"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1860-3572"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Klinik für Palliativmedizin"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Palliativmedizinische Lehre in Deutschland – Planungen der Fakultäten zum zukünftigen Querschnittsfach 13"],["dc.title.translated","Palliative Care teaching in Germany – concepts and future developments"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

There is growing evidence that disturbances in iron metabolism contribute to white matter alterations. Materials & Methods We analysed the data of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) of white matter in a cohort of 27 patients with ALS and 30 healthy age-matched controls. Results Signal alterations were found on SWI in the corpus callosum; along the corticospinal tract (subcortical motor cortex, posterior limb of the internal capsule and brainstem levels) and in the subgyral regions of frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and limbic lobes. Alterations of white matter in the corpus callosum correlated with disease severity as assessed by the revised ALS functional rating scale. Conclusion SWI is capable of indicating iron and myelin disturbances in white matter of ALS patients. The SWI patterns observed in this study suggest that widespread alterations due to iron disturbances occur in patients with ALS and correlate with disease severity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0131114"],["dc.identifier.isi","000356933800118"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26110427"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/11952"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36806"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Public Library Science"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Provides Insight into White Matter Damage in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) has revealed grey matter changes in ALS, but the bias-reducing algorithms inherent to traditional VBM are not optimized for the assessment of the white matter changes. We have developed a novel approach to white matter analysis, namely voxel-based intensitometry (VBI). High resolution T1-weighted MRI was acquired at 1.5 Tesla in 30 ALS patients and 37 age-matched healthy controls. VBI analysis at the group level revealed widespread white matter intensity increases in the corticospinal tracts, corpus callosum, sub-central, frontal and occipital white matter tracts and cerebellum. VBI results correlated with disease severity (ALSFRS-R) and patterns of cerebral involvement differed between bulbar- and limb-onset.

Neurological disorders often require complex decision-making. The aims of this study were to determine which situations lead to CEC in neurology and to investigate the influence of the individual patient’s wishes on the recommendation. Methods Standardised CEC protocols in the years 2011 to 2017 at the University Hospitals of Goettingen and Jena were retrospectively surveyed. The contents were categorised along existing protocol templates of CEC scenarios and subsequently paraphrased and reduced to significant meanings. Results 27 CEC scenarios which were facilitated by various professional disciplines were reviewed. Stroke was the most frequent underlying condition. Nearly all patients were not able to consent. Mostly, the relatives acted as representatives or health advocates. In 67 % of cases, a sense of conflict triggered a CEC; in 33 % a sense of uncertainty was the reason for the CEC request. In 21 CEC scenarios, a recommendation was reached in consensus with all parties involved. In 59 % of cases, a decision was made to continue medical therapy. In seven cases, the patient’s wishes led to a limitation of therapy, while in just two cases this decision was made primarily relying on the patient’s best interest. In only 13 % of cases, a valid advance directive led to respective therapeutic consequences. Conclusions CEC is feasible for consensus-finding not only in conflicts, but also in situations of therapeutic uncertainty in neurology. There is a special importance of the patient’s wishes in decision-making in neurology. However, only in a few cases were advance directives precise and specific enough to have sufficient and decisive weight in therapeutic decision-making."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.citation","BMC Neurology. 2021 Jun 04;21(1):216"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12883-021-02244-2"],["dc.identifier.pii","2244"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/93520"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import DOI-Import GROB-441"],["dc.publisher","BioMed Central"],["dc.relation.eissn","1471-2377"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Clinical decision-making"],["dc.subject","Clinical ethics consultation (CEC)"],["dc.subject","Neurology"],["dc.subject","Individual patient will"],["dc.title","Clinical Ethics Consultation in Neurology – a case series"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
