After adjusting for organ dysfunction scores and premorbid conditions, we found that younger age, absence of frailty and the use of non-invasive respiratory support (NIRS) as first support strategy were independently associated with improved survival (hazard ratio for NIRS first [95% confidence interval], 0.59 [0.54-0.65], p < 0.001).
 
  Age and mortality rates have declined over the first 8months of the pandemic. The use of NIRS as the first respiratory support measure was associated with survival, but causal inference is limited by the observational nature of our data.

  Ligamentous lesions of the fingers are common everyday injuries and usually the result of distortion or overloading. Numerous examination methods are available for dedicated radiological diagnosis of sometimes complex injury patterns.
 
  To review radiological diagnosis of the ligamentous structures of the finger joints including the presentation of anatomical, biomechanical and therapeutic aspects.
 
  Presentation of the anatomy and biomechanics as well as the most common trauma mechanisms of the ligamentous structures. Review of the literature, discussion of recent work and diagnostic expert recommendations.
 
  The most relevant ligamentous structures are collateral ligaments, pulley ligaments, volar plates and tendons. The goal of radiologic diagnosis is to accurately define the injury pattern and to differentiate between simple and complicated ligamentous lesions. In unclear cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become standard for further diagnostics, which may allow depiction of ligamentous structures in submillimetre resolution.
 
  Today, differential diagnosis includes all radiological modalities, which ensures the determination of an adequate therapy and prevention of sequel at ahigh standard.

  Recently there has been an increase in reports of the phenomenon called chemsex, asubform of sexualized substance use. Chemsex is aneologism consisting of the two terms "chemicals" and "sex". It describes the use of methamphetamine, γ‑hydroxybutyrate/γ-butyrolactone (GHB/GBL), mephedrone and sometimes other substances in asexual context, especially by men who have sex with men (MSM). Chemsex has been described as asignificant risk factor for mental and physical diseases.
 
  Due to the increasing importance of the phenomenon and the significantly increased number of publications on the subject, this article provides an overview of the current and relevant literature. The aim is to raise awareness on this topic among practitioners and researchers and thus to facilitate access to the help system for those affected.
 
  A literature search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Cochrane and Embase for the terms "chemsex", "sexualized drug use" and "slamming. Atotal of 22 articles were identified as being relevant.
 
  In sk in the absence of a specialized treatment option, which is why further research on this topic is needed.In Germany every second offence occasioning bodily harm and every fourth sexual offence occur under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Untreated substance use disorders are a risk factor for further offences. The §64 of the German Penal Code (StGB) regulates the commitment of offenders to a Forensic addiction treatment unit as a result of an addiction to excessive consummation of intoxicating substances. The previous regulation has come under criticism because too many patients are committed, the sentence is often given to the wrong persons, the treatment is often terminated without success and the sentence consumes to many resources. From a psychiatric perspective the reform of commitment to a Forensic addiction treatment unit (§64 StGB) must fulfil the principles of medical ethics, in particular the respect for the autonomy of the patient, the principle of distributional justice and the code of medical professional ethics. The commitment according to §64 must be restricted to the treatment of people with a clinically relevant substance use disorder. From a psychiatric perspective, decisive for the prospect of success are the willingness to be treated and self-determination for admission to the clinic. In order to release the treatment from the extrinsic influences of the enforcement law, on admission to treatment a sufficient amount of the sentence should have already been served that the commitment only serves the purpose of the treatment and resocialization, so that the risk of further substance-related offences is reduced.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/rxdx-106-cep-40783.html  The legal term "Entziehungsanstalt" should be replaced by "Forensic Clinic for Dependancy Diseases".In the midst of global change uncertainties, Indonesian spatial planning authorities are developing 20-year strategies. However, the lack of collaborative engagement of stakeholders and unclear methodology around using futures studies in addressing land management undermine such plans and affect environmental governance. A crucial question is how to link a future-oriented process with governance transformation processes, particularly related to land-use planning and management. To address this issue, we used a co-elaborative scenario-building approach, referred to as participatory prospective analysis (PPA), to facilitate the creation of local multistakeholder platforms considering future-oriented perspectives. The PPA design combines equally the knowledge of local communities, technical experts and decision-makers, and was applied in a series of sequential multistakeholder workshops in two regencies in Indonesia, followed by public consultations on the main results. In both regencies, participants agreed on a common topic related to spatial planning in their jurisdiction to be explored with a 20-year time horizon. They reached consensus on relevant variables, analyzed their dependence/influence, and developed several plausible yet contrasting scenarios for land management and road maps with guidelines for the implementation of desired outcomes. The PPA approach stimulated stakeholder engagement and ensured that more local voices were not only heard but also duly included in the process. It allowed participants to consider strategies that would otherwise have been less readily accepted by their respective organizations. It showed that it is possible to improve existing spatial planning processes in Indonesia by integrating tools for a more inclusive and long-term future-oriented collaborative approach.
