It is even the first German clinic, completely on the biopsy without good reasons. Prostate cancer the most common tumor of the man is with over 48,000 new cases annually. Also these malignant tumors of the male prostate gland grow slowly and are only in the late stages. Whether the tumor is malignant, is diagnosed with the help of the biopsy, taking a tissue sample from the prostate, always still predominantly. But the biopsy without fail is painful, risk rich and diagnosis only to about 30 percent.

Because the tissue removal is pierced the wall of the intestine and in the best case, a tissue sample for determining cell taken from. Because the cell range is not visible but, the process must be repeated often. The risk of infection with subsequent sepsis, is it not just rare. The urologist Dr.Deuster therefore refrains and alternatively opts for innovative diagnostic techniques such as imaging, molecular screening or new blood and urine tests. The doctor especially with the ultrasound Elastography works in Imaging. This hardened, can color differentiation represented mostly cancerous tissue softer and healthy tissue in the prostate and diagnosed as safe. A prostate cancer using these modern forms of diagnosis is localized, certainly in size and extent of the treatment can begin. Tony Parker wanted to know more. The Heidelberg clinic specialists also work with a minimally invasive, contact-free method: the hochfocussierte ultrasound therapy, short HIFU.

Here, an ultrasound probe is introduced through the rectum, which depicted the prostate. Then the tumor tissue with a temp eratur from 80 to 100 degrees is destroyed over a ultrasonic essay that acts like a concave mirror, specifically. The fall after this thermal destruction – the cellular debris breaks down the body’s immune system independently. Surrounding body tissue is spared, and also in the prostate gland itself that maintain connective tissue, so the scaffolding of the prostate, the HIFU treatment. For even more opinions, read materials from Sofar. International Studies from England and Japan could prove that it is at least equal to the HIFU therapy of traditional operation. In France is already firmly established as standard procedure. Nevertheless, this method also has its natural limit: helps you only a localised prostate cancer. The tumor may have still broken not the prostate capsule and scattered in other body tissue. As conclusion remains: both therapies the Greenlight laser treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and the HIFU with the localised prostate cancer meet their purpose. The patient is gentle, non-contact and treated effectively with his suffering. Long inpatient stays are avoided, and in total, both therapy methods are less expensive than the respective operations. A but men never forget: the screening from the 45.Lebensjahr, which will be acquired by the funds. Dr.med.

Allegretto Concerto

The advantages of the Allegretto wave Concerto at a glance. In 2005, a new, State of the art and extremely fast eye laser has been introduced. He is called Allegretto wave Concerto and was from the global technology leader in refractive surgery WaveLight laser technology AG from Germany, Erlangen develops and manufactures. Hyperopia can be corrected up to + 6 and astigmatism up to 6, as well as short-sightedness to-10 diopters now in 6 seconds on average per eye. The Concerto laser is used for the LASIK procedure (laser in situ Keratomileusis”) and enjoys a very good reputation since then, due to its advantages for the operating surgeon and the patient.

Today is the new laser in many clinics around the world. This includes above all Germany as corporate headquarters. However, the Allegreto wave Concerto is used also in the now very famous and quality LASIK Turkey successfully. There treat is now several thousand patients a year and often combine their travel with a short break. The LASIK surgery is considered the world’s most performed surgical procedure with almost 20 million treatments. In the course of development of the Concertolasers, must opt for a LASIK surgery probably more glasses and contact lens wearers, because the advanced technology your eye a few patients short moments her eyes hold motionless. Many people had, because she has some were allowed to move their eye and the Zuck danger was great fear carried out such intervention. In addition postoperative complications could be reduced due to the extremely short time of the laser.

As a result, the healing process runs faster and restful and the end result is better overall. The healing process of corneal is completed after a few hours, causing inflammation or other complications can be avoided. In addition to improved patient comfort was mainly the greatest possible safety in the development of the laser unit in the foreground. The sometimes unconscious eye movements of the patients are the Concerto followed 500 times per second and adjusts the laser treatment accordingly. This function also known as the eyetracker “. By the round profile of the laser, the corneal tissue in the eye can be removed also evenly and to the point exactly. This allows the correction of refractive error, that can not be corrected with normal LASIK or glasses and contact lenses. Concerto in addition measures the thickness of the treated cornea in real time and allows the surgeon to intervene at any time to modify. High vision defects can be treated so well. In addition, Allegreto wave Concerto is the first eye laser, which controlled the entire procedure in real-time and logged. Thus the doctor can ensure a high quality standard and also the patient can get insight in his treatment of data.

Communication With Dementia Alzheimer

To communicate with patients where they can talk to. We know there are to communicate two ways: verbally (in words) and non-verbal (body language). Verbally, we communicate constantly, even if we remain silent! One cannot not communicate. (P. Watzlawick) with small children we communicate about our facial expression, our body posture and voice.

To get various things with forms, colours, smells, taste, surfaces and noise: 5 sense cognition/true perception. Thus we reach the autonomous vegetative nerve system of analog neural network I of the people and can influence the behaviour of the small child. Emotionalisieren. Manages the hospital also in dementia Alzheimer’s? Increasing problems with memory, focus, concentration and planning skills to dementia = brain weakness, which complicates the unbearable. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Source: Alzheimer’s disease what can I do?, volume 2 coming we first in Physiology (excerpt): meta level: nature = open system, order = Cybernetics of 3. O.

selected sub systems of the sub system man management 1: neural network central nervous system I (CNS I, analog): autonomic autonomic (animal) nervous system: spinal cord, brainstem, diencephalon central nervous system II (CNS II, digital): diencephalon, cerebrum is the progression of Alzheimer’s dementia no reverse infant-adult development process! Also, the disease should not be confused with autism! The life of the infant is a growth and development process. People with autism have communication problems as children. People with dementia has of course age-related limitations in true perception and behavior. The dementia Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia disease, decay process embodies a brain mass. The dementia-Alzheimer’s disease process can begin around the age of 30. This consists (history) and the complementary process of dementia from the natural aging process. Most people stay mentally as much as possible fit to the Death (ideal). The final irreversible Alzheimer’s process. We have it first with a natural human aging process to do.
