2022-12-0634 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS2E3 Engaging men and boys - what works?Engaging men and boys in violence prevention programmes can produce real world benefits.

2022-02-1532 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E5 Mental HealthThe mental health impacts of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation are complex. To ensure the effectiveness of our mental health interventions post violence we need an intersectional understanding of the multiple manifestations of trauma. Whilst the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder provides a framework to understand the process of trauma in survivors of sexual violence, to develop truly effective treatments, we also need to look at complex trauma.

Medizinische Fakultät - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU - Teil 19/19Volumentherapie mit Albumin und Hydroxyethylstärke bei Patienten mit radikaler ZystektomieIntraoperative Blutverluste können durch intravasale Flüssigkeitszufuhr kompensiert werden, wobei sowohl die Art der Infusion als auch die Menge von entscheidender Bedeutung für eine stabile Hämodynamik sind und somit das Outcome großer abdomineller Eingriffe maßgeblich beeinflussen. Des Weiteren können Katecholamine zur Aufrechterhaltung einer suffizienten Blutversorgung beitragen. Nach der ersten Anwendung weckten Katecholamine große Hoffnungen das Outcome nach Operationen deutlich zu verbessern. Bald zeigten sich jedoch insbesondere bei hohen Dosierungen Nebenwirkungen (z.B. Reduktion der Organperfusion), was zu einem Umdenken führte. „In doubt give volume“ war ein weit verbreitetes Motto, das diesem Umdenken Ausdruck verl...
