    This embassy involves two buildings, which, because of their style, appropriate aspect, the fine taste of their design, and the highly efficient manner in which the volumes agree with the building site, constitutes a singular ornament to one of the best zones of Madrid. All the materials are traditional in Spanish constructional practice, and were carefully chosen: their full plastic and chromatic quality being well utilised.Los dos edificios que componen el conjunto constituyen, por su tratamiento, por su representatividad, por el gusto con que han sido construidos y por el respetuoso trato dado a los volúmenes del aprovechamiento autorizado, un ornato singular en una de las zonas más nobles y vistosas de la capital de España. Todos los materiales empleados son los tradicionales del país anfitrión y fueron elegidos con esmero, conservándolos en toda su pureza plástica de carácter y cromática

    Bei 80 Fruehgeborenen aus der Kinderklinik Giessen wurden die Plasma-aminosaeurenspiegel, sowie die Plasmakonzentrationen von Calcium, Phosphat und alkalischer Phosphatase bestimmt. Es wurden Gruppen ge- bildet, die sich in den folgenden Parametern unterschieden: I.) Mil- chen mit unterschiedlichem Molkenprotein:Casein Verhaeltnis. II.) Nahrungen, die unterschiedlichen Produktionsverfahren unterzogen wor- den sind. III.) Nahrungen, die sich im Calcium- und Phosphatanteil pro100 ml trinkfertiger Nahrung unterschieden. Die Aminosaeureanalysen wurden mittels der Ionenaustauscherchromatographie durchgefuehrt. Die Analyse der Messwerte ergab besonders zwei wichtige Resultate. Zum einen kann eine gravierende Beeinflussung der Plasmaaminosaeurespiegelbei Fruehgeborenen durch die verschiedenen Produktionsverfahren bei der Herstellung von Fertigmilchen festgestellt werden. Zum Anderen lassen die Ergebnisse den Schluss zu, dass eine vollstaendige Adaptie-rung an die Caseinfraktion der Muttermilch kein geeigneter Weg zur Op-timierung der Fruehgeborenennahrungen ist. Im Einzelnen konnten fol- gende Befunde erhoben werden: 1. Eine hohe Proteinaufnahme ist mit ge-steigerten Plasmaaminosaeurespiegeln verbunden. 2. Di Steigerung des Molkenproteinanteils auf ueber 60 %, sowie eine damit verbundene Re- duktion der Caseinfraktion auf weniger als 40 %, fuehrt zu deutlichen Imbalancen im Aminosaeureprofil. 3. Die Herstellungsverfahren von Pul-ver- und auch von Fluessigmilchen haben einen Einfluss auf das Amino- saeuremuster. Es wurden deutliche Unterschiede sowohl innerhalb der Pulvermilchen als auch zwischen Pulver- und Fluessigmilchen festge- stellt. 4. Die mit den gebraeuchlichen Fertignahrungen zugefuehrten Phosphatmengen reichen fuer Fruehgeborene nicht aus, um deren taeg- lichen Bedarf zu decken. Aus diesem Grund sollte eine zusaetzliche Phosphatsubstituton bei diesen Kindern in Erwaegung gezogen werdenSIGLEAvailable from: Giessen Univ. (Germany, F.R.).

    Malnutrition predicts clinical outcome in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasias

    Malnutrition is a common problem in oncologic diseases influencing treatment outcomes, treatment complications, quality of life and survival. The potential role of malnutrition has not yet systematically been studied in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), which due to growing prevalence and additional therapeutic options provide an increasing clinical challenge for diagnosis and management. The aim of this cross-sectional observational study, which included a long-term follow-up, was therefore to define the prevalence of malnutrition in 203 patients with NEN using various methodological approaches and to analyze the short- and long-term outcome of malnourished patients. A detailed subgroup analysis was also performed to define risk factors for poorer outcome. By applying malnutrition screening scores 21-25% of NEN-patients were at risk of or demonstrated manifest malnutrition. This was confirmed by anthropometric measurements, determination of serum surrogate parameters such as albumin and bioelectrical impedance analysis particularly phase angle α. Length of hospital stay (LoS) was significantly longer in malnourished NEN-patients while long-term overall survival was highly significantly reduced. Patients with high-grade (G3) neuroendocrine carcinomas, progressive disease and undergoing chemotherapy were at particular risk for malnutrition associated with a poorer outcome. Multivariate analysis confirmed the important and highly significant role of malnutrition as an independent prognostic factor for NEN besides proliferative capacity (G3-NEC). Malnutrition is therefore an underrecognized problem in NEN-patients, which should systematically be diagnosed by widely available standard methods such Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) score, serum albumin levels and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and treated to improve both short- and long-term outcomes

    Neuroendocrine Neoplasia within the German NET Registry

    Neuroendocrine neoplasias (NEN) comprise a rare tumor entity with heterogeneous biology, prognosis and therapeutic options. Together with the recent publication of the first German guidelines on diagnostics and therapy of NEN, an analysis of the German NET-registry cohort of the German Society of Endocrinology (DGE) was performed. For this purpose, 2686 cases were extracted and their patient characteristics (e. g., age, sex, histopathological characterization, grading and staging) were displayed and outcomes were calculated. Additionally, the systemic treatment reality in the two largest subgroups, small intestinal and pancreatic NEN, was analyzed within metastatic patients. Distribution of primary tumor localization, histopathological classification, disease stage and overall survival was comparable with results from international registry studies. In concordance with current guidelines, somatostatin analogues (SSA) and peptide-receptor-radionuclide-therapy (PRRT) were the most common therapeutic modalities in small intestinal NEN. In pancreatic NEN, chemotherapy was used in first line as often as SSA. In second line, chemotherapy was used as often as PRRT. WHO-classification of 2010 and TNM staging proved to be of prognostic relevance. The current analysis of the German NET-registry characterizes a multicentric, interdisciplinary cohort of NEN patients throughout Germany and it describes the applied systemic treatment modalities and overall outcome as well as the prognostic value of the WHO classification of 2010 and TNM staging
