I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Finally #EAPC2025 starts! The World Congress for #PALLIATIVECARE was planned in #HELSINKI for 2021 but was postponed due to the #pandemic. That it starts now here feels soothing … Looking forward to a great program, to meeting more than 2000 colleagues from all over world and to enjoying Helsinki!
Very important theme, great success for you and the FAU. Congrats!
Happy to see that our paper on novel recommendations for digitally supported multi-professional collaboration tailored to the specific requirements of #palliativecare and beyond is now published. #bidt #FAU #dgpalliativmedizin #BZKF #Erlangen #EAPC

Sie sind Freund*in/Nachbar*in einer schwerkranken Person und kümmern Sie sich? Sie sind – auch wenn sie nicht Familie sind – für die Person da. Sie helfen bei Einkäufen, im Haushalt, gehen mit zum Arzttermin, hören zu!

In the #internet and #socialmedia discourse the #CoViD #pandemic had a negative impact on the perception of #palliativecare. Negative stereotypes increased, e.g. palliative care is increasingly seen as a synonym for end-of-life care!

Liebe A., was für eine wunderbare Rückmeldung für eure Zeit als Familie auf der #Palliativstation am Uniklinikum in #Erlangen. Wenn Ihr Euch wohl gefühlt habt und der Kakao 🍶 lecker war, dann hat das Team wohl einiges richtig gemacht! Danke! Dir und deiner Familie alles Gute! Und Danke ans Team …!

Our common denominator is that in our field much better evidence is needed! Let`s strive to confirm or question our own #palliativecare paradigms. Not everything we learned from cancer may fully apply to other diagnoses. Note: Clemens et al, cited by Gallagher R.,studied exclusively cancer pts.
We have to be critical towards our own #palliativecare paradigms!
The evidence for #opioids for breathlessness in #heartfailure is questionable. A recent review states that „it may only be the very last option if other options have failed or in case of an emergency.“

Are #PalliativeCare needs in patients with #dementia under-recognized?
The low number of dementia diagnoses in the German Hospice and Palliative Care Registry could be due to barriers to accessing specialized services for people with dementia.
Lets not forget this group!

@j-palliativemed.bsky.social Pain and dyspnea were more severe in patients with hyperactive delirium than those without delirium. The presence of hypoactive delirium was not associated with a greater severity of physical symptoms www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/...
