Bernard–Soulier syndrome in pregnancy

Bernard–Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare autosomal recessively inherited bleeding disorder. Pregnancy in patients with BSS is characterized by ante‐, intra‐, or postpartum haemorrhage, which may be delayed and severe. There is no consensus in the management of BSS in pregnancy and so far only 16 pregnancies in nine patients have been described. We report a further three pregnancies in two women with the syndrome. We also outline our management of pregnant patients with BSS.     

Nationales Aktionsforum Diabetes mellitus (NAFDM)

NAFDM, the National Action Forum for Diabetes Mellitus, is an umbrella organisation for the leading diabetes organisations in Germany. Since its foundation at the end of 2004, NAFDM has brought together the activities of these organisations, which up to now were frequently working independently of each other, under a single ‘roof’. Supported by a central coordination unit, three project groups work successfully on the topics scientific research and healthcare research, patient care and prevention. Activities and results are shared and thus integrated into the network. The working groups are supported by NAFDM’s medical and health-policy steering groups. Apart from a number of successful events, two key publications have meanwhile come out: one on the status of prevention and one analysing the healthcare situation for diabetics in Germany. All people interested in diabetology are invited to join in and work with the NAFDM.     

Psychologische Aspekte des diabetischen Fußsyndroms

It is often difficult for medical professionals to understand the behaviour of people with diabetic foot syndrome. We describe the different psychological factors that play a role in the maintenance of intermittent implementation of medical recommendations. In particular we look at the consequences of neuropathy and of the recommendation to offload pressure, as well as the contradictions between the realities of the patient and the medical professionals involved in their care. We show that the solutions that patients develop are based on normal psychological processes and we encourage professionals to consider these aspects in their relationship to people with DFS and when developing individualised preventative measures.
