Using hospital data and routines to estimate costs and effects of integrative care programmes for chronic pain and stress disorders--a feasibility study.
CONCLUSIONS: It was feasible to use hospital registry data to estimate costs and show positive effects of anthroposophic IC programmes for pain and stress disorders in Sweden. Clinical implications and the need for long-term follow-up are discussed. PMID: 25060155 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Forschende Komplementarmedizin)

Effect of orally administered potentized capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in humans: a homeopathic pathogenetic trial.
CONCLUSION: The administration of potentized capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin combination produced symptoms of pain (and others) in healthy volunteers. This preparation can be applied therapeutically following a basic homeopathic principle. Further research to confirm the assumptions is warranted.

Lipid profile and non-cholesterol sterols in obese women's serum after supplementing with plant stanol ester.
CONCLUSION: Plant stanol esters influence the concentration of total cholesterol, particularly LDL cholesterol. This effect seems to be related to the reduced dietary cholesterol absorption. PMID: 25060157 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Forschende Komplementarmedizin)

Introducing a computer-assisted, digital tongue-imaging device for standardization of traditional tongue diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: The introduced device represents a first step towards standardization of tongue diagnosis. However, inter-methods as well as test-retest reliability vary between observers and different morphological characteristics.

[Problems in integrative postgraduate medical training of physicians at anthroposophic hospitals in Germany and Switzerland].
CONCLUSION: Main problems of PGMT in AM include not only non-specific and systemic aspects, but also AM-specific issues. In order to develop a basis for concrete problem solving options, this study will be complemented by an analysis of solution ideas from the perspective of the involved trainers and trainees.

A minimum protocol for randomised homeopathic drug proving as basis for further research.
CONCLUSIONS: A minimum protocol of a HDP is feasible. All important design elements of HDP could be solved in discussions with the respective regulatory authorities, and participating homeopaths accepted the procedure.

[Recommendations for problem solving in integrative postgraduate medical training of physicians at anthroposophic hospitals in Germany and Switzerland].
CONCLUSION: The proposed options for problem solving in PGMT at anthroposophic hospitals emerge from concrete problem perceptions of the trainers and trainees. They can serve as a basis for concrete improvements of PGMT in AM that could be implemented professionally and in an international context. The preconditions for this are given through the already existing establishment of AM at universities and through the good international connections of anthroposophic hospitals and anthroposophic physicians' associations.
