Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common disease of the lower urinary tract in men. The prevalence increases continuously with increasing age and a chronic progressive course is to be expected. In order to reduce the morbidity of affected patients and to improve their quality of life, the expert panel Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) of the German Society of Urology (DGU) has written a new version of the evidence-based "S2e guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of BPH". Using a current patient case, the contents of the new S2e guideline are illustrated, from diagnosis to the decision-making process for a suitable treatment choice...

The lifetime prevalence of 8.6% of asthma in Germany reflects the high medical and socioeconomic impact of the disease. Asthma treatment goals have changed during the last decades: from symptom control to symptom prevention, with highly effective, disease-modifying anti-asthmatic drugs (DMAADs) aiming at asthma remission. In order to achieve this goal, phenotyping of patients (including an evaluation of allergies and type 2 biomarkers) is crucial for personalized treatment. The identification and effective treatment of concomitant diseases, such as allergic rhinitis or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), plays a major role for successful treatment...

Steroids are broadly used in oncology, despite known adverse events such as glucocorticosteroid-induced myopathy (SM). To date there are no accepted guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of SM. The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information regarding SM with emphasis on neuro-oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, given they are at high risk of experiencing SM following routine treatment with steroids. Our work is a combination of a comprehensive narrative review regarding etiology, pathogenesis, incidence, clinical presentation and treatment options for SM and a scoping review on the exercise therapy for SM...

Diagnosing Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) poses numerous challenges. The heterogeneous presentations of CIDP variants, its mimics, and the complexity of interpreting electrodiagnostic criteria are just a few of the many reasons for misdiagnoses. Early recognition and treatment are important to reduce the risk of irreversible axonal damage, which may lead to permanent disability. The diagnosis of CIDP is based on a combination of clinical symptoms, nerve conduction study findings that indicate demyelination, and other supportive criteria...

Fulminant myocarditis is an acute diffuse inflammatory disease of myocardium. It is characterized by acute onset, rapid progress and high risk of death. Its pathogenesis involves excessive immune activation of the innate immune system and formation of inflammatory storm. According to China's practical experience, the adoption of the "life support-based comprehensive treatment regimen" (with mechanical circulation support and immunomodulation therapy as the core) can significantly improve the survival rate and long-term prognosis...

The group of cardiomyopathies has received increasing attention over the last few years after some of the causes were identified and they could be characterized more exactly using modern imaging methods. New definitions and classification schemes were regularly provided by national and international cardiac societies. The new guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) from 2023 on the management of cardiomyopathies are the first guidelines that comprehensively address all cardiomyopathies in one document...

Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) is prevalent around the world, and pre-existing ILD is associated with increased severity and mortality of COVID-19. However, the current knowledge on the management strategy for COVID-19 patients with pre-existing interstitial lung disease (ILD) is very limited. There is still a need for consensus on treatments for these patients. In addition, ILD that occurs after the acute phase of COVID-19 (Post-acute Covid-19 ILD, PC-ILD) is also very common, and how to manage PC-ILD is also under debate...

The current guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) contain several important new aspects. The definition of PH is changed to a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of >20mmHg in combination with PVR threshold value of >2 Wood units to a define a precapillary component. The clinical classification of PH still distinguishes 5 main groups. The diagnostic algorithm begins with the evaluation of dyspnea in primary care and early referral of patients with suspected PAH (group I), CTEPH (group IV) or severe PH of other groups...

BACKGROUND: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH, in German guidelines: benign prostatic syndrome [BPS]) is considered the most common disease of the lower urinary tract in men and can have a tremendous impact on the quality-of-life of affected patients. Conservative and pharmacological therapy of this disease are of great importance, both in improving LUTS and reducing progression-related complications. OBJECTIVES: Presentation of the conservative and pharmacological treatment options according to the current German S2e guideline on BPS...

The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has published evidence-based guidelines on the management and prevention of diabetes-related foot diseases since 1999. The present guideline is an update of the 2019 IWGDF guideline on the diagnosis and management of foot infections in persons with diabetes mellitus. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used for the development of this guideline. This was structured around identifying clinically relevant questions in the P(A)ICO format, determining patient-important outcomes, systematically reviewing the evidence, assessing the certainty of the evidence, and finally moving from evidence to the recommendation...

Langerhans cell Histiocytosis is a rare neoplastic disease, which occurs mainly in children and adolescents. The disease may affect any organ, and therefore, the clinical symptoms vary widely. Some patients have a spontaneous remission of the disease, whereas others experience a rapid and potentially lethal clinical course. The therapeutic approach depends on the extent of the disease, and reaches from a watch-and-wait strategy to chemotherapy with the standard drugs vinblastine and prednisone. The identification of mutations in the MAPK-pathway resulted in growing interest in targeted therapy using compounds such as the BRAF inhibitors...

Physical training is an important component in the prophylaxis of osteoporosis and the prevention of fractures. Physical training not only has a direct effect on muscle strength and muscular performance, but also on the risk of falling and the fear of falling. Therefore, physical training is also an integral part of the basic treatment for osteoporosis. The recommendations for basic treatment are an adequate intake of nutrients, including protein in particular. The intake of calcium and vitamin D in sufficient quantities is also important and, in the case of specific drug therapy, also to avoid side effects and to ensure the therapeutic effect...

The current treatment algorithm for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) as depicted in the 2022 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) includes a multimodal approach of combinations of pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and medical therapies to target major vessel pulmonary vascular lesions, and microvasculopathy. Today, BPA of >1700 patients has been reported in the literature from centers in Asia, the US, and also Europe; many more patients have been treated outside literature reports...
