This study evaluates the intrastromal correction of ametropia with a femtosecond laser made by 20/10 PERFECT VISION. This laser generates a beam of ultrashort, infrared pulses which enables very precise cuts in the cornea. By these cuts lamellae of the cornea are separated locally, and in the consequence the curvature ...

Patients will be randomised in 1:1 ratio to either olaparib or placebo.

Randomised patients will receive study treatment for up to a maximum ...

Oral anticoagulation treatment (OAC) following clinically successful catheter abla-tion of atrial fibrillation (AF) is controversial.

60% of all malignant diseases occur in patients who are 65 years or older. For these patients, aggressive treatments are often not suitable due to reduced life-expectancy, reduced general condition, comorbidities, and reduced vital functions which can lead to increased adverse effects of chemotherapy. Therefore, it is important to investigate ...

Methods and procedures Study design: We conducted a prospective study in obesity WHO III° with consecutive enrollment. The study protocol was approved by the local ethics committee.
