Study Investigating Patient-Reported Outcomes in Lower-risk MDS Patients

Treatment of Non-resectable Bile Duct Cancer with Radiofrequency Ablation or Photodynamic Therapy

Klatskin tumours are a form of bile duct cancer. They are generally not diagnosed until quite late and a curative operation is rarely a possibility. Their anatomic location usually results in bile duct obstruction and the aim of therapy is thus to keep the ducts open. This is accomplished through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by implanting stents. Stent therapy combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) extends life expectancy. PDT requires an injection of photosensitizer that is absorbed primarily by the cancer cells. Light of a particular wavelength is then applied with ERCP to kill the cancer cells. Drawbacks include not only high costs and poor availability, but foremost that patients have to avoid direct sunlight for a period of weeks. Radio frequency ablation (RFA) together with stent implantation constitutes an alternative by which the cancer cells are killed through heat applied during ERCP. The RFA technology is more widely available and easier to deploy. However, it has not been studied extensively and no randomized trials exist comparing the two methods. This trial will compare survival in patients with Klatskin tumours depending on whether they receive PDT or RFA. Moreover, data will be collected on side-effects and quality of life.

Cardiogenic Shock Registry Mannheim

All consecutive patients with a confirmed cardiogenic shock presenting at the internal intensive care Unit (ICU) at the University of Mannheim are included in the register and followed up during ICU stay and after that. Data of patients' admission status, cause of cardiogenic shock, baseline parameters and comorbidities are collected. Extensive information about echocardiography, electrocardiography and imaging procedures are included in the register. Laboratory values, microbiological investigations, organ dysfunction and organ replacement therapies, medication, adverse events, and complications were recorded for several days during the ICU stay (days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8). Standard scores for critically ill patients were calculated for the day of admission at the ICU if available, and several time points during the ICU stay. The register includes information about the mortality during ICU stay, 30-day mortality, 6-month mortality and 1-year mortality.
