Effects of Kneipp Therapy
Einleitung: Ziel dieser systematischen Ăśbersicht war die Bewertung der verfĂĽgbaren Evidenz zur Wirkung der Kneipp-Therapie.
Methoden: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane-Library und CAMbase wurden nach relevanten Artikeln, veröffentlicht zwischen 2000 und 2019, durchsucht. Graue Literatur wurde über Google Scholar und andere Tools bezogen. Studien mit jeglicher Art von Studiendesign, die die Effekte der Kneipp-Therapie untersuchten, wurden eingeschlossen. Die Qualitätsbewertung erfolgte mittels EPHPP-QAT.
Ergebnisse: 25 Quellen, darunter 14 kontrollierte Studien, wurden eingeschlossen. Gemäß EPHPP-QAT wurden 3 Studien \textquotedblstark\textquotedbl, 13 \textquotedblmoderat\textquotedbl und 9 \textquotedblschwach\textquotedbl bewertet. Neun (64%) der kontrollierten Studien berichteten signifikante Verbesserungen nach Kneipp-Therapie im Gruppenvergleich bei chronisch-venöser Insuffizienz, Hypertonie, leichter Herzinsuffizienz, menopausalen Be-schwerden und Schlafstörungen in verschiedenen Patientenkollektiven sowie verbesserte Immunparameter bei gesunden Probanden. Im Hinblick auf Depression und Angst bei Mammakarzinom-Patientinnen mit klimakterischen Beschwerden, Lebensqualität bei Post-Polio-Syndrom, krankheitsbedingten polyneuropathischen Beschwerden und Inzidenz von Erkältungsepisoden bei Kindern konnten keine signifikanten Gruppenunterschiede festgestellt werden. Elf unkontrollierte Studien berichteten Verbesserungen bei allergischen Symptomen, Dyspepsie, Lebensqualität, Herzratenvariabilität, Infekten, Hypertonie, Wohlbefinden, Schmerz und polyneuropathischen Beschwerden.
Diskussion/Schlussfolgerung: Die Kneipp-Therapie scheint bei zahlreichen Beschwerdebildern in verschiedenen Patientenkollektiven positive Effekte zu bewirken. Zukünftige Studien sollten noch stärker auf eine methodisch sorgfältige Studienplanung achten (Kontrollgruppen, Randomisierung, adäquate Fallzahlen, Verblindung), um Verzerrungen entgegenzuwirken
The Psychological and Physical Effects of Forests on Human Health: A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review of systematic reviews was to identify, summarise, and synthesise the available evidence of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) on the preventative and therapeutic psychological and physical effects of forest-based interventions. Methods: Both bibliographic databases and grey literature sources were searched for SRs and MAs published until May 2020. Eight databases were searched for relevant articles: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, CiNii, EBSCO, and Scopus. Grey literature was sourced from Google Scholar and other web-based search tools. SRs and MAs that included randomised controlled (RCT), non-randomised controlled (NRCT), and non-controlled trials (NCT) on health-related effects of forest-based interventions were eligible if they had searched at least two databases. The methodological quality of eligible reviews was assessed by AMSTAR-2. Results: We evaluated 11 systematic reviews covering 131 different primary intervention studies, mostly from Asian countries, three of which included supplementary meta-analyses. The quality assessment resulted in moderate confidence in the results of two reviews, low confidence in six, and critically low confidence in three. The results of the eight moderate and low-rated reviews indicated that forest-based interventions are beneficial to the cardiovascular system, immune system, and mental health (in the areas of stress, depression, anxiety, and negative emotions). Evidence for the effectiveness of forest-based interventions on metabolic parameters in adults, the severity of atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents, and social skills and sociality in healthy primary school children was weak. Discussion/Conclusions: Evidence suggests beneficial therapeutic effects of forest-based interventions on hypertension, stress, and mental-health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Changes in immunological and inflammatory parameters after forest therapy should be verified in bio-geographically native forests. In the future, more attention should be paid to careful planning, implementation, and reporting of primary studies and to systematic reviews on the effects of forest-based interventions

Bonding in Mercury-Alkali Molecules: Orbital-driven van der Waals Complexes
The bonding situation in mercury-alkali diatomics HgA (2ÎŁ+) (A = Li, Na, K, Rb) has been investigated employing the relativistic all-electron method Normalized Elimination of the Small Component (NESC), CCSD(T), and augmented VTZ basis sets. Although Hg,A interactions are typical of van der Waals complexes, trends in calculated De values can be explained on the basis of a 3-electron 2-orbital model utilizing calculated ionization potentials and the De values of HgA+(1ÎŁ+) diatomics. HgA molecules are identified as orbital-driven van der Waals complexes. The relevance of results for the understanding of the properties of liquid alkali metal amalgams is discussed
Age and geochemistry of basaltic complexes in western Costa Rica: Contributions to the geotectonic evolution of Central America
The age and origin of magmatic complexes along the Pacific Coast of Central America have important
implications for the origin and tectonic evolution of this convergent plate margin. Here we present
new 40Ar/39Ar laser age dates, major and trace element data, and initial Sr-Nd-Pb isotope ratios. The 124–
109 Ma tholeiitic portions of the Santa Elena complex formed in a primitive island arc setting, believed to
be part of the Chortis subduction zone. The geochemical similarities between the Santa Elena and Tortugal
alkaline volcanic rocks suggest that Chortis block may extend south of the Hess Escarpment. The Nicoya,
Herradura, Golfito, and Burica complexes and the tholeiitic Tortugal unit formed between 95 and 75 Ma
and appear to be part of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province, thought to mark the initiation of the
Gala´pagos hotspot. The Quepos and Osa complexes (65–59 Ma) represent accreted sections of an ocean
island and an aseismic ridge, respectively, interpreted to reflect part of the Gala´pagos paleo-hotspot track.
An Oligocene unconformity throughout Central America may be related to the mid-Eocene accretion of the
Quepos and Osa complexes
