The fact that they are rare complicates the provision of medical care for the specific diseases.Results: In the field of action titled 'Care, Centres, Networks' of its National Action Plan, the National Action League for People with Rare Diseases recommends the formation of a three-level, interconnected centre model. This form of care was investigated in two large research projects. It was shown that the time to diagnosis was markedly reduced. Commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Health, the expert report on the health status of people with rare diseases in Germany issued in 2023 concludes that the medical care provided to this group of people has improved markedly since the National Action Plan was introduced. The establishment of the Centres for Rare Diseases (ZSE, Zentren für Seltene Erkrankungen) is seen as the most important development. However, it is noted that there is still a lack of coordinated care provision pathways for referring patients to the appropriate facilities.Conclusion: The provision of care to people with rare diseases has improved upon the implementation of the measures from the National Action Plan. In a next step, care provision pathways must be established across sector boundaries. Challenges remain in the area of psychosocial care and the long-term securing of funding for these structures.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10792297/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139486704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The STOP-FSGS consortium has set itself the goal to expand our knowledge of this disease and develop new treatment options.Project: Through intensive research and the use of state-of-the-art techniques such as super-resolution microscopy, AI-based imaging and single-cell research, the consortium aims to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of FSGS. This will allow the disease to be diagnosed more accurately and thus enable targeted and more effective treatment of patients. Another focus is on the search for drugs that slow down or even cure the disease.Results: By establishing a rapid animal model, i.e. zebrafish larva, potential substances/drugs were identified that can alleviate FSGS. Moreover, super-resolution microscopy was used to precisely quantify the structural changes in the kidney by determining the so-called 'filtration slit density' (FSD) and to identify a marker allowing a personalised prognosis and assessment of the course of the disease.Conclusions: The results obtained help to better recognise the progression of FSGS and to optimally adapt treatment in order to improve the quality of life of the afflicted individuals and avoid renal replacement therapies.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10790414/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139486717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A central tenet of the concept of environmental and climate justice is that environmental and climate issues cannot be seen in isolation from issues of social justice.Methods: A conceptual model was developed on the relationship between climate change impacts, social dimensions, adaptive capacities, biological sensitivity, and health equity in order to systematically analyse climate justice. Based on an exploratory literature review and the evaluation of the individual contributions of the status report on climate change and health, the evidence in Germany on social inequalities in exposure to climate change impacts and vulnerability to their direct and indirect health effects was summarised.Results: This paper provides an overview of the international debate and examples of evidence on climate justice in Germany. Climate justice in the sense of avoidable, unjust social inequalities in exposure, vulnerability, and the effects of climate mitigation and adaptation measures on health inequalities is still insufficiently addressed in Germany.Conclusions: A consistent integration of equity issues into climate policy is necessary.

People with higher risk perception show a higher Readiness to Act. Younger people, men, people with low education, and those living in smaller communities are identified as relevant target groups as they have a lower Readiness to Act. One third state that they never or hardly ever seek out specific information on climate change.

The objectives are (a) to synthesise the options for action formulated in the report, (b) to combine them into clusters and guiding principles, (c) to address the success factors for implementation, and (d) to combine the options for action into target parameters.Methods: The options for action from the individual contributions of the status report were systematically recorded and categorised (n=236). Topical clusters were then formed with reference to Essential Public Health Functions, and options for action were assigned to them.Results: Eight topical clusters of options for action and ten guiding principles were identified. These can be summarised in four overarching meta-levels of action: (a) cross-sectorally coordinated structural and behavioural prevention, (b) monitoring, surveillance, and digitalisation (including early warning systems), (c) development of an ecologically sustainable and resilient public health system, and (d) information, communication, and participation. The main success factors for implementation are the design of governance, positive storytelling and risk communication, proactive management of conflicting goals, and a cross-sectoral co-benefit approach.Conclusions: Based on the status report, systematically compiled target parameters and concrete options for action are available for public health.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10722518/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138806029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were linked to the German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation. The results are age-standardised (population as of 31 Dec. 2021).Results: Between 2015 and 2021, the incidence of type 1 diabetes increased from 9.5 to 11.6 per 100,000 persons (from 7,007 to 8,699 new cases per year). In contrast, the incidence of type 2 diabetes tended to decline between 2015 and 2019. It continued to drop initially in 2020 during the pandemic, and then rose to 740 per 100,000 persons in 2021 (556,318 new cases per year). The diabetes type-specific seasonal pattern of previous years has changed during the pandemic years. The incidence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes was observed to be higher in regions of high socioeconomic deprivation as compared to regions characterised by low socioeconomic deprivation.Conclusions: The increase in the incidence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 2021 may possibly be related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The high incidence and the differences by regional socioeconomic deprivation indicate that there is a need for targeted prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10698802/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138805763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the care requirements and social implications of dementia in Germany, reliable statistics regarding its current and future occurrence are necessary.Methods: Using existing data sources and recent research results, this paper compiles and analyses relevant statistics on the occurrence of dementia in Germany, presents protective and risk factors, and options for care provision.Results: Recent projections indicate a potential surge in the number of dementia patients in Germany, predicted to rise from 1.7 million at present to up to 3.0 million by the year 2070. Cognitive and motor deterioration and behavioural changes associated with dementia lower the ability to live independently. These changes are often tied to social exclusion and stigma and, particularly in the severe phase of the disease, necessitate extensive medical and care requirements. This contributes to dementia being one of the most costly diseases at old age from an overall societal perspective. Currently, there are no curative treatment options available.Conclusions: To reduce the increase in the number of dementia patients and associated costs in the future, preventive approaches, particularly promoting a healthy lifestyle, may prove effective. Simultaneously, the healthcare system, society, and caregivers must prepare for the increasing number of dementia patients. Improved diagnostics, new forms of therapy, and social innovations that support those who are affected and their relatives can help reduce the burden of dementia and its associated costs.","PeriodicalId":73767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of health monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10565880/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41222248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
