Most professions recognize the mentoring process as a requisite component for licensure or certification leading to the privilege of practice. Similar to the fields of medicine and law, the tradition of mentoring in the teaching profession has been apprenticeship. Unlike most other professions, however, the law requires teacher candidates to earn their certification credentials before being placed as an apprentice.","PeriodicalId":20494,"journal":{"name":"Praxis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139627054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"[Do All Very Old Patients Benefit from Osteoporosis Drug Treatment?]","authors":"Norbert Suhm, Karl Stoffel","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Osteoanabolic osteoporosis drugs have become better available. The osteoanabolic therapeutic principle has a stronger, faster-onset fracture-reducing effect than the antiresorptive preparations. It has also been newly recognized that the significance of a first fragility fracture as a risk factor is time-dependent: the less time that has elapsed since the first fracture, the higher the resulting re-fracture risk. Patients older than 65 years whose index fragility fracture occurred less than two years before are therefore grouped in a separate \"Imminent Fracture Risk\" category. These innovations were implemented by updating the osteoporosis therapy guideline. According to this guideline, patients in the \"Imminent Fracture Risk\" category should be offered osteoporosis therapy as soon as possible, in order to avoid as many fractures as possible. We are critical of an overly strict implementation of this algorithm in very old fracture patients. Our own data indicate that more than 30 % of this subpopulation do not experience the effect of a newly started osteoporosis therapy. We advocate a clinically based indication for osteoporosis therapy. For this, we propose a \"Question Surprise\" modified for osteological purposes. \"Would I be surprised if I had to treat the same patient for a fracture again in a year?\" If the question is answered with \"No,\" then that patient could be a candidate for specific osteoporosis treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":20494,"journal":{"name":"Praxis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139913284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acute coronary syndromes comprise ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina. The diagnosis is made based on the clinical presentation, a rise in cardiac biomarkers, and ischemic ECG changes. In patients with acute STEMI, urgent coronary angiography with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open the occluded artery is indicated. In patients with NSTEMI and unstable angina, the timing of coronary angiography and PCI is based on the clinical presentation and on a comprehensive and individualized risk stratification. Optimal secondary prevention and aggressive cardiovascular risk factor control are important following the acute event.
