Urinary lithiasis is a disease in which calculi form in the kidney and urinary tract. Roughly 5 % of the human population suffers to some degree from urinary lithiasis. A number of severely afflicted patients (e.g. ca. 60,000 in West Germany and more than 100,000 in the U.S.) are hospitalized yearly for major surgical treatment. Obviously, nephrolithiasis is not only a common ailment but also an issue of great social and economic consequence.

The REACH system in southern Georgia (United States) and the TEMPiS system in Germany reported decreased latency to rt-PA delivery on a larger scale. REACH system investigators reported 194 acute stroke consultations dehvered via telemedicine. The time from symptom onset to rt-PA delivery decreased from 143 minutes in the first 10 patients treated to 111 minutes in last 20 patients of 30 patients treated with rt-PA, 23% were treated in 90 minutes or less and 60% were treated within 2 hours without any incidence of post-treatment symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. In 2004, the second year of the TEMPiS system, 115 patients in telemedicine-networked community hospitals and 110 patients in stroke centers received rt-PA for acute ischemic stroke or TIA. Patients treated at networked community...

Method The authors use information on all non-hospital sales of pharmaceutical products in 1992 in a sample of countries consisting of the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the UK. The database was provided by Intercontinental Medical Systems (IMS). The empirical analysis is based on the calculation of the Paasche and Laspeyres price indexes and the ratio between them. The descriptive analysis is completed with the econometric analysis (quasi-hedonic model) of the determining factors of the variation in the relative prices of each active ingredient in each country taking the USA as the point of comparison.

Frankland left Owens College in 1857 to teach at St. Bartholomew s Hospital in London, and in 1865, he succeeded Hofmann at the Royal School of Mines, when Hofmann left London to return to Germany. Frankland s successor at Owens was Henry Roscoe, who had just returned from studying with Bunsen at Heidelberg and who was the son of a distinguished Lancashire family (and the uncle of Beatrix Potter). 

The question of distance is important legally in deciding whether to specify distances between odour sources and housing, hospitals, schools etc. The rules operated in Germany, the Netherlands and Australia are of great interest and it may be significant that Australia, which has much more space and lower concentrations of humans than Europe, allows larger distances between source and human nose than does Europe.

Local assessment of the mass balance of the most critical PhCs (the most frequently administered antibiotics, analgesics/anti-inflammatories and the psychiatric dmg carbamazepine, considered an anthropogenic marker in wastewaters [121]) also provides useful information about the PhC contribution of the hospital effluent with respect to that of the catchment area. The extent of this contribution will differ between compound, but Beier et al. [92], in particular, reported that it can reach as high as 94% for some antibiotics (ciprofloxacin), although Kummerer [53], on the other hand, stated that only up to 25% of the antibiotics administered in Germany are used in hospitals.

The fatality rate was also analyzed in the group of 97 randomly-selected patients with acute pancreatitis, treated in Minsk hospitals prior to 1988 by a similar treatment program using HS over uncoated activated carbon sorbents of the SKN type [5], Eighteen healthy donors served as control. It should be noted that patients in both groups were treated with intravenous infusion of the protease inhibitor from bovine lung (Contrykal, Dresden, Germany 5,000 U per body mass per day).
