The European Championship stadium helps the Weidmoos An important step came in 2000, when nature protection compensation measures were undertaken as a result of the construction of a new stadium in Salzburg/ Klessheim. This involved the purchase of about 80 of the 136 hectare bird reserve for nature protection purposes. In this way, the future use of the site was bound by property law. In 2002, Salzburg’s Nature Protection Department contracted REVITAL, a civil engineering consultancy firm, to develop a Natura 2000 management plan.

After more than a quarter century as a primary care educator, I am convinced that our graduates enter practice inadequately trained in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal problems and injuries. One reason for this perceived deficiency is the relatively short duration of primary care training—typically three years for family medicine, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics. During this time, there are just not enough months to teach all a clinician needs to know about diseases and trauma involving the musculoskeletal system....

Helicobacter pylori, which persistently colonizes the stomachs of ~50% of the world's human population, is the main risk factor for peptic ulceration (Chap. 287) as well as for gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma (Chap. 87). Treatment for H. pylori has revolutionized the management of peptic ulcer disease, providing a permanent cure in many cases. The prevention of H. pylori colonization could potentially represent primary prevention of gastric malignancy and peptic ulceration.

Our goal in this book is to provide the reader with only the most crucial and important points for the variety of disorders likely to be encountered in the adult intensive care unit, including the key first steps in diagnosis, confirmation of diagnosis, and initial management strategies. In preparing the manuscript, we were struck by several insights. First was the importance of general supportive care of the patient regardless of the primary diagnosis leading to admission to the ICU.

Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is a biopsy-proven (mainly epithelial) malignancy for which the anatomic site of origin remains unidentified after an intensive search. CUP is one of the 10 most frequently diagnosed cancers worldwide, accounting for approximately 3–5% of all cancer cases. Most investigators do not consider lymphomas, metastatic melanomas, and metastatic sarcomas that present without a known primary tumor to be CUP because these cancers have specific stage- and histology-based treatments that can guide management. ...
