Befinden von Palliativpatienten im Verlauf einer spezialisierten ambulanten oder stationären Versorgung
A major goal of palliative care is sustaining quality of life (QoL) for patients suffering from severe symptoms, which is determined by physical and psychological consequences of an illness as well as other factors, such as the meaning of life and family support. Patients have reported high levels of QoL despite worsening symptoms. The self-estimated QoL of patients receiving outpatient and inpatient palliative care was analyzed using retrospective data from the German Hospice and Palliative Care Evaluation (HOPE). A descriptive analysis of questionnaires given to 2,030 patients (1,616 inpatients, 414 outpatients) and their professional care takers was carried out assessing symptoms, well-being and care-related information. At the beginning of treatment inpatients had a higher symptom burden than outpatients. Reduced pain, tiredness and weakness and improved well-being allowed inpatients to be discharged. Outpatients suffering from severe dyspnea, constipation and anxiety were more likely to be admitted to hospital. Well-being was associated with symptom burden, weakness and tiredness in both self-evaluation and care-taker assessment particularly for outpatients. While tiredness and weakness influenced QoL especially for outpatients, patient-specific factors may surpass them in patient perception. To improve the QoL of palliative care patients, individual factors must be assessed in addition to symptom control
The Parkes Half-Jansky Flat-Spectrum Sample
We present a new sample of Parkes half-Jansky flat-spectrum radio sources having made a particular effort to find any previously unidentified sources. The sample contains 323 sources selected according to a flux limit of 0.5 Jy at 2.7 GHz, a spectral index measured between 2.7 and 5.0 GHz of ff 2:7=5:0 ? \Gamma0:5, where S() / ff , Galactic latitude jbj ? 20 ffi and \Gamma45 ffi ! Declination (B1950) ! +10 ffi . The sample was selected from a region 3.90 steradians in area. We have obtained accurate radio positions for all the unresolved sources in this sample and combined these with accurate optical positions from digitised photographic sky survey data to check all the optical identifications. We report new identifications based on R- and Kn-band imaging and new spectroscopic measurements of many of the sources. We present a catalogue of the 323 sources of which 321 now have identified optical counterparts and 277 have measured spectral redshifts. Key words: catalogues --- r..

The sample contains 323 sources selected according to a flux limit of 0.5 Jy at 2.7 GHz, a spectral index measured between 2.7 and 5.0 GHz of alpha(2.7/5.0) > -0.5, where S(nu) proportional to nu(alpha), Galactic latitude \b\ > 20 degrees and -45 degrees < declination (B1950) < +10 degrees.
