Since Corona Pandemic the role of telemedicine became more important. Since years, telemedicine settings were used in adult medicine and to date, in few pediatric hospitals, ambulances and institutions. In 1500 pediatric patients, we performed 120 telemedicine consultations in the last 3 months (8.6%). In 120 consultations, there were only 3 misdiagnosis and in 8 cases, the prescriptions had to be changed. In general, it is necessary that the pediatrician is well trained and has a lot of experience in pediatric medicine. We present a new diagnostic questionnaire for telemedicine in Pediatrics.

In principle, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the use of telematics from the point of view of the medical profession, with only a minority pointing out the disadvantages in general. 73 percent of physicians emphasize that the use of telematics in healthcare brings advantages overall, while only 26 percent are convinced that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. In line with the different assessments of the benefits of individual fields of application of telematics, physicians in private practice are also considerably more reticent about this question than physicians working in inpatient care. 91 percent of hospital physicians, and only 53 percent of physicians in private practice, generally see advantages in the use of telematics. For almost every second physician in private practice, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. Family doctors in particular express above-average skepticism. Only 48 percent of doctors emphasize the advantages of using telematics, while 50 percent are critical. Among specialists in private practice, the ratio is much more positive, at 56 percent to 41 percent. Younger physicians, in relation to the total of all physicians, are significantly more convinced of the advantages of telematics than older physicians. 87 percent of physicians under the age of 45 are convinced of the advantages in 336 principle, in contrast to only 58 percent of those who are 55 or older. We present a new telemedicine questionnaire for doctors who work with pediatric diseases.

Drug Trial Breakthrough of Cancer Cure

Every Patient Involved in Drug Trial Found that Cancer vanishes Completely from their Body An Indian-origin patient was among those who had a " miracle " cure using a cancer medication that is being tried out by a research centre here, achieving an unprecedented healing rate when all 14 patients in the trial had their cancers disappear. "It's a miracle", Nisha Varughese said about the  immunotherapy  drug's efficacy in curing her. In the trial at the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Centre in New York using dostarlimab, "the rectal cancer disappeared after immunotherapy -- without the need for the standard treatments of radiation, surgery, or  chemotherapy  -- and the cancer has not returned in any of the patients, who have been cancer-free for up to two years," the MSK said. According to researchers, this was the first time that all the patients in a cancer trial were completely healed with a  medication  and they did not have serious side-ef

Pancreatic Cancer Are Resections Justified?

Image
INTRODUCTION Resections for pancreatic cancer have been carried out for 86 years. Doubts about the efficacy were first expressed in 1964. Resections are costly and recent reports have failed to show success. It is suggested that resections should be abandoned, but biologic research and palliation emphasized. INCIDENCE The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing in western societies and is considered to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths by the year 2030 and a major burden. The incidence is estimated to be 64430 in the USA in 2021 and increase to 88,000 for both sexes in 2030. Incidence differs between ethnic groups for many cited between 10-15/100,000 but has been reported up to 20/100,000 in certain ethnic groups. RESERVATION, NON-RESECTED SURVIVORS  Resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma was first attempted by Codivilla A in 1898 and then by Kausch W in 1912 [5] but was first successfully performed by Whipple A in 1935. Resections have since been c

Genome Sequence of the Monkeypox Virus Associated with Major Outbreak

In a recent study, researchers revealed a draft genome sequence of the   monkeypox virus   associated with a recent outbreak in Portugal. Introduction Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by the monkeypox virus. It is a member of the same genus, including the variola virus causing smallpox, the Orthopoxvirus genus under the Poxviridae family. Monkeypox is a  zoonotic disease  endemic to tropical rainforest regions of West and Central Africa and is sometimes reported in other regions. The disease was first identified in a nine-year-old boy in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970. The enveloped monkeypox virus is a double-stranded (ds) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) virus with different rodents and non-human primates as hosts. The virus has been classified into two distinct genetic clades: the West African clade and the Central African (Congo Basin) clade. Symptoms are similar to those in  smallpox patients , albeit less severe. It spreads by direct contact with body fluids, lesions, cont
