Rational Therapy of Clostridium difficile Infections
Conclusion: Current guidelines have been adapted to new pathways in diagnosing CDI and have included statements on novel therapeutic options such as fidaxomycin and faecal transplant for recurrent disease. Depending on the severity of the disease, standard therapy with either metronidazole or vancomycin is recommended.Viszeralmedizin 2014;30:304-309 (Source: Viszeralmedizin)

Calculated Antibiosis of Acute Cholangitis and Cholecystitis
Conclusion: Acute cholangitis and acute cholecystitis are common conditions that may result in progressively severe infection and death when not treated appropriately. Beside supportive therapy and antiobstructive measures, therapy with antimicrobial agents is an important component in the management of affected patients. Here, we discuss the use of antimicrobial agents that are suitable for the first-line management of these infections. Empirical therapy depends upon the knowledge of local microbial epidemiology and patient-specific factors affecting the selection of appropriate agents.Viszeralmedizin 2014;30:297-302 (Sou...

Verrucous Oesophageal Carcinoma: Single Case Report and Case Series Including 15 Patients - Issues for Consideration of Therapeutic Strategies
Conclusion: This is the largest published study describing patients diagnosed with VC of the oesophagus so far. The option of local endoscopic therapy and its results in 9 patients are reported for the first time. The superficial growth pattern of the tumour and the frequent absence of lymph node or distant metastasis suggest that endoscopic resection can be carried out as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic approach. Due to the rarity of this entity, the case numbers are unfortunately so limited that evidence-based recommendations are unlikely to become available even in the future.Viszeralmedizin 2014;30:346-352 (Source: Viszeralmedizin)

Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC in the Baltic States: An International Scientific Workshop with Live Surgery
Conclusions: Progress in peritoneal surface oncology in the Baltic states was confirmed. With a low morbidity and mortality, these clinical programs promise to provide continued benefit for patients with peritoneal metastases - a condition judged to be terminal in the past.Viszeralmedizin 2014;30:353-359 (Source: Viszeralmedizin)
