In-patient and out-patient palliative medicine - a challenge for the anaesthesiologist
No full textTraditional approaches to the treatment of the incurable and terminally ill are often felt by patients and their families to be inadequate, since the distressing physical symptoms and psychological concomitants of the disease are not given sufficient consideration. New strategies for providing therapy and care have resulted from the international hospice movement and have been included in medical training programmes, collectively referred to as palliative medicine. In the past few years, palliative care services have increasingly been established in Germany. These are mainly in-patient facilities, such as palliative-care wards or hospices. Beside other medical fields, anaesthesiology departments are often involved. A major advance was made in May 2003, when the Federal General Assembly of German Physicians passed a resolution to include palliative medicine in the postgraduate medical training regulations. In addition to giving greater recognition to this medical specialisation, that crucial step will bring about an improvement in the qualification of the physicians working in this field and better provision of palliative care. This review primarily addresses the alleviation of pain and other physical symptoms as well as the psychosocial needs of the individual. After diagnosis of the disease and assessment of pain, treatment commences with the selection of appropriate analgesics and an effective mode of application. Following dosage titration until the effective dosage is reached, long-term therapy is initiated with slow-release analgesics and supplemented with co-analgesics, particularly in the case of neuropathic pain, as well as with adjuvant drugs to diminish the side effects of analgesics. The significance of constipation and its associated complications is often underestimated in patients with advanced malignant disease. Effective prophylaxis and therapy based on the elimination of the cause of the problem can improve alimentation and intestinal transit and prevent the development of a paralytic ileus. New findings concerning the role of neurotransmitters in triggering nausea and vomiting have resulted in the development of purposeful approaches to treatment. Dyspnoea therapy places high demands on the medical team as nursing and physiotherapy must effectively supplement the limited possibilities offered by medical treatment alone

Agreodontia Beck 2014
No full textAgreodontia Beck et al., 2014 CONTENTS: Dasyuromorphia, Notoryctemorphia, and Peramelemorphia. STEM AGE: 48.0 Mya (95% HPD: 44.3–50.9 Mya). CROWN AGE: 45.7 Mya (95% HPD: 42.3–49.2 Mya). UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Median parietal suture at least partially fused in subadults (char. 25: 0→1; ci = 0.143). COMMENTS: Beck et al. (2014) gave the name Agreodontia to a clade comprising the Australian orders Dasyuromorphia, Peramelemorphia, and Notoryctemorphia, which they defined as the most inclusive clade including Perameles nasuta, Notoryctes typhlops, and Dasyurus maculatus, but excluding Phalanger orientalis (Beck et al., 2014: 132). Monophyly of Agreodontia has been consistently supported by analyses of nuclear and combined nuclear and mitochondrial sequence data (e.g., Amrine-Madsen et al., 2003b; Phillips et al., 2006; Beck, 2008a; Meredith et al., 2008b, 2009 c, 2011; Mitchell et al., 2014; Duchêne et al., 2018; Álvarez-Carretero et al., 2021), but it is supported only by mitochondrial sequence data when base composition is corrected for (Nilsson et al., 2004; Phillips et al., 2006). A single, uncontradicted retrotransposon insertion also supports agreodontian monophyly, but this does not represent statistically significant support (Nilsson et al., 2010; Gallus et al., 2015a). Recent morphological analyses vary as to whether they recover Agreodontia or not (e.g., Horovitz and Sánchez-Villagra, 2003; Beck et al., 2008 a, 2014; Horovitz et al., 2008, 2009; Carneiro and Oliveira, 2017a; Carneiro et al., 2018; Carneiro, 2019), but this clade has been recovered by most total-evidence analyses (Beck et al., 2008 a, 2014, 2016; Beck, 2012, 2017a; Maga and Beck, 2017) with the exception of that of Asher et al. (2004). Our results conform to this general pattern of inconsistent support: whereas our nuclear (fig. 27), combined nuclear and mitochondrial (fig. 29), and total evidence (figs. 32, 33) analyses support monophyly of Agreodontia, our mitochondrial (fig. 28) and morphological (figs. 30, 31) analyses do not. Only partial fusion of the median parietal suture before adulthood optimizes as an unambiguous craniodental synapomorphy of this clade in our dated total-evidence analysis, but this transformation is reversed within Dasyuromorphia. Putative peramelemorphians have been reported from the earliest Eocene Tingamarra Local Fauna (Godthelp et al., 1992; Archer et al., 1993a; Muirhead, 1994; Archer et al., 1999; Long et al., 2002). Given the published early Eocene (54.6 Mya) radiometric date for Tingamarra (Godthelp et al., 1992), this material would represent the oldest known record of the Agreodontian crown clade and would markedly predate our estimate for the most recent common ancestor of Agreodontia (45.7 Mya; 95% HPD: 42.3–49.2 Mya). However, examination of these Tingamarran specimens by R.M.D.B. revealed some similarities to bunodont, nonperamelemorphian metatherians from the Palaeogene of South America and Australia (e.g., Chulpasia, Rosendolops; see Archer et al., 1993a; Crochet and Sigé, 1993; Goin and Candela, 1996; Sigé et al., 2009), so we are not convinced that they represent peramelemorphians. A major gap in the Australian fossil record after the early Eocene (Archer et al., 1999; Long et al., 2002; Woodhead et al., 2014) means that the oldest definitive agreodontians are from the late Oligocene, which is much younger than our estimate for the age of the most recent common ancestor of Agreodontia. Specifically, representatives of Peramelemorphia and Dasyuromorphia are known from multiple late Oligocene sites in central Australia and at Riversleigh World Heritage Area (Long et al., 2002; Wroe, 2003; Archer et al., 2006; Archer and Hand, 2006; Warburton and Travouillon, 2016; Kealy and Beck, 2017; Eldridge et al., 2019). A single partial upper molar of an alleged thylacinid (NTM P2815- 10; Murray and Megirian, 2006b) and a single upper molar of a probable notoryctemorphian (NTM P2815-6; Murray and Megirian, 2006b; Beck et al., 2014: 151, 2016: 166) are known from the Pwerte Marnte Marnte Local Fauna in the Northern Territory, which is probably slightly older than the central Australian and Riversleigh sites (Megirian et al., 2010), but which is still late Oligocene.Published as part of Beck, Robin M.
