[Ragsorters' Disease-150 years ago a new, today a vanished occupational disease in Austria].

In 1870 17 women who were engaged with shredding and sorting rags in a Lower-Austrian papermill fell ill with a highly febrile lung affection; nine of them died. Hitherto this illness was not recognised as a separate disease, the "Ragsorters' Disease". The rags were used garments and household textiles collected mostly in eastern countries as well as used contaminated bandages of hospitals. The manipulation with the rags produced much dust which was inhaled by the women, provoking some different illnesses, including the Ragsorters' Disease. Mostly without prodromes a heavy lobar or lobular pne…

Low mortality and short-term morbidity in very preterm infants in Austria 2011-2016.

AIM: The current study determined survival, short-term neonatal morbidity and predictors for death or adverse outcome of very preterm infants in Austria. METHODS: This population-based cohort study included 5197 very preterm infants (53.3% boys) born between 2011 and 2016 recruited from the Austrian Preterm Outcome Registry. Main outcome measures were gestational age-related mortality and major short-term morbidities. RESULTS: Overall, survival rate of all live-born infants included was 91.6% and ranged from 47.1% and 73.4% among those born at 23 and 24 weeks of gestation to 84.9% and 88.2% …

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC): a Single-Center Experience in Austria.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can significantly influence overall and disease-free survival in selected patients suffering from peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) of various tumor entities. Because of the extent of the therapeutic approach, the associated morbidity and mortality and the multidisciplinarity needed, implementation of a CRS + HIPEC program at an institution is often challenging. METHODS: This single-center analysis included all patients (n = 60, 34 female, 26 male) with PSM from various tumor primaries [colorecta

Geographically predominant genotypes of Aspergillus terreus species complex in Austria: s microsatellite typing study.

Aspergillus terreus species complex is recognized as a frequent agent of invasive aspergillosis in Tyrol. The reason for this specific epide … r the high incidence of A. terreus infections in Innsbruck, the Inn valley and side valleys (Tyrol, Austria).

A report from the XVIII International AIDS Conference. (July 18-23, 2010-Vienna, Austria).

Political and social issues have a major impact on how and when HIV infection and AIDS are treated, and were a major component of the meeting in Vienna. Many discussions were held on aspects such as epidemiology, risk behavior, public health, human rights, political responses to the epidemics challenge, social stigma and discrimination, use of and recommendations on the use of condoms and other preventive measures... However, the availability of drugs and/or other therapies is a crucial issue, and while it was not the main focus of attention during this year's international AIDS conference, it

Toxicity assessment of wastewaters, river waters, and sediments in Austria using cost-effective microbiotests.

The toxicity and chemical quality of surface water and sediment in the River Traun in Austria were studied because of recurrent fish mortality in some alpine rivers over the last few years. The analyses were carried out on samples collected during winter and summer upstream and downstream of two municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and on effluents taken at the points of discharge of these two plants. Toxicity tests were performed on 20 samples of surface water, effluent, and sediment pore water. The test battery was composed of microbiotests with protozoans (Protoxkit F), microalgae …

Gas gangrene due to Clostridium perfringens in two injecting drug users in Vienna, Austria.

We describe two cases of severe myonecrotic infections caused by Clostridium perfringens in injecting drug users (IDUs) in Vienna, Austria. Clostridial myonecrosis, or gas gangrene, is a clostridial infection primarily of muscle tissue. C. perfringens is isolated in 90% of these infections. Other clostridial species isolated are C. novyi, C. septicum, C. histolyticum, C. fallax, and C. bifermentans. Classically, clostridial myonecrosis has an acute presentation and a fulminant clinical course. It is diagnosed mainly on a clinical basis. The infection may be so rapidly progressive that any dela…

Artificial intelligence and chatbots in general surgery: a survey among surgeons in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) into surgical practice is increasingly being explored, but real-world usage patterns and barriers remain insufficiently characterized. This multinational survey assessed self-reported AI/LLM use, perceived benefits, and requirements for routine implementation among general surgeons in German-speaking countries. METHODS: Between June and September 2025, a 16-item online survey was conducted among general surgeons at university hospitals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. RESULTS: Of 3831 invited su…

Healthcare Pathways of Patients with Long COVID in Austria: A Qualitative Exploration of Experiences, Barriers, and Needs.

Background/Objectives: Long COVID is characterized by persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection and places a considerable burden on patients and healthcare systems due to its complex, multisystemic nature. In Austria, little is known about how affected individuals navigate existing healthcare structures and where obstacles occur. This study aimed to explore healthcare pathways, perceived barriers, and needs among people living with long COVID in Lower Austria. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with eleven adults residing in Lower …

Evolution of use and overuse of triptans in Austria - What has changed in the last 15 years?

BACKGROUND: Triptans are highly effective acute treatments for migraine attacks, yet population-level data suggest persistent underuse. Updated real-world data on triptan use and overuse in Austria are lacking. METHODS: This nationwide, retrospective claims-based study analysed triptan use and overuse in Austria in 2023. Adults (≥ 18 years) with at least one dispensed triptan were identified. Triptan overuse was defined as the dispensing of ≥ 30 defined daily doses (DDDs) in at least one quarter, consistent with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) crite…

Seasonality of Selected Cardiovascular Disorders in Austria: A Retrospective Observational Study Between 2009 and 2023.

BACKGROUND: Chronoepidemiological patterns in general and seasonality in specific have been investigated for a multitude of pathologies. Although cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke are well researched, evidence on other vascular segments and events remains comparably small. METHODS: A retrospective observational study analyzed hospital admission data from 2009 to 2023 for pulmonary embolism (PE), aortic dissection (AD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), acute limb ischemia, and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. RESULTS: Seasonal variation was most pronounced for PE an

Multispecies helminth parasitism of grazing dairy cows in Germany and Austria, examined in the housing period.

Helminth composition and burden data for dairy cows have not been reported for >40 years for Germany and even less information is available for Austria. In the context of two recent studies, helminth parasitism was studied in 32 cows (23 from six farms in Bavaria and Tyrol; 9 from one farm in Saxony) from pasture-based dairy farms necropsied during the housing period. Helminths were enumerated and identified based on morphological characters (all helminths but rumen flukes) or molecular techniques (rumen flukes). Thirteen species of gastrointestinal nematodes and two species each of liver fluk…
