    Abstract This paper reviews recent research on late-life depression (LLD) pharmacotherapy, focusing on updated information for monotherapy and augmentation treatments. We then review new research on moderators of clinical response and how to use the information for improved efficacy.
    Recent findings: A recent review shows that sertraline, paroxetine, and duloxetine were superior to placebo for the treatment of LLD. There is concern that paroxetine could have adverse outcomes in the geriatric population due to anticholinergic properties; however, studies show no increases in mortality, dementia risk, or cognitive measures. Among newer antidepressants, vortioxetine has demonstrated efficacy in LLD, quetiapine has demonstrated efficacy especially for patients with sleep disturbances, and aripiprazole augmentation for treatment resistance in LLD was found to be safe and effective. Researchers have also been identifying moderators of LLD that can guide treatment. Researchers are learning how to associate moderators, neuroanatomical models, and antidepressant response. SSRI/SNRIs remain first-line treatment for LLD. Aripiprazole is an effective and safe augmentation for treatment resistance. Studies are identifying actionable moderators that can increase treatment response.

    Abstract Objectives: Study objectives were to: (1) better understand sleep experiences and unhealthy alcohol use among Veterans with long COVID and (2) explore providers' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to delivering evidence-based care for sleep problems and unhealthy alcohol use in patients with long COVID.
    Methods: VA electronic health records were used to conduct chart reviews (n = 57) of patients evaluated in a VA COVID-19 Recovery Clinic during 1 calendar year; semi-structured interviews were completed with Veterans (n = 5) and clinicians (n = 7) recruited from the clinic. Veteran participants also completed quantitative, self-report measures assessing sleep- and alcohol-related experiences and behaviors.
    Results: Data from chart reviews and interviews suggested that Veterans with long COVID often had pre-existing sleep problems that were exacerbated during long COVID. Patients and providers agreed that sleep interventions would be beneficial and acceptable in the COVID-19 Recovery clinic. Conversely, few Veterans with long COVID had a pre-existing alcohol use disorder (AUD) diagnosis; alcohol use occurred less frequently and was less often discussed between patients and providers. Providers had mixed viewpoints on delivering alcohol-related care in the clinic; some were highly amenable, others were unsure whether patients would be receptive.
    Conclusions: This study is among the first to take a mixed-method approach to understanding experiences of sleep-wake behaviors and unhealthy alcohol use in Veterans with long COVID. Characterizing sleep and alcohol-related experiences, examining associations with functioning, and exploring perspectives on treatment approaches is critical to support efforts to refine, personalize, and optimize evidence-based sleep and alcohol care for Veterans living with long COVID.

    Title translation Interdisciplinary tumor boards in the radiological routine : Current situation based on an online survey in Germany.
    Abstract Purpose: Interdisciplinary tumor boards are periodical conferences, where optimal individual therapy plans are developed among medical experts with different specializations. The presence of a board-certified radiologist is medically indispensable in almost all relevant boards. In order to systematically evaluate the current workload for radiologists caused by these boards, we evaluated the current situation within German radiology to obtain numbers for future personnel planning.
    Materials and methods: We performed an online survey. We invited all 33 German university chairmen and 50 randomly selected head physicians of radiology at level 3 hospitals to participate.
    Results: We had a participation rate of 79% (26/33) at university hospitals and 56% (28/50) at of level 3 non-university hospitals. The average total number of tumor boards was 3.3/day or 16.7/week at university hospitals and 2.6/day or 13/week at level 3 non-university hospitals. We calculated an average time considering preparation and execution as well as the average number of boards of 33.1 h/week for university hospitals and 18.2 h/week for level 3 hospitals. This results in a 78.8% workload for a board-certified radiologist at a university hospital (regular weekly work time 42 h) and 45.5% work load for level 3 hospitals (regular weekly work time 40 h).
    Conclusion: "Speaking radiology" as in interdisciplinary tumor boards represents a fundamental matter of course in radiology. The active participation in boards accomplished by radiologists improves evidence-based patient care. However, given the prevailing scarcity of resources in medicine, the data collected here regarding personnel costs for clinical radiology for participation in tumor boards must be taken into account in future discussions on personnel compensation.

    Abstract Background: Bradyarrhythmias including sinus node dysfunction (SND) and atrioventricular block (AVB) can necessitate pacemaker (PPM) implantation in orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) recipients. Prior studies have shown conflicting findings regarding the effect of PPM implantation on survival. We evaluated the effect of PPM indication on long-term re-transplant-free survival in OHT patients.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of OHT patients at UCLA Medical Center from 1985 to 2018. Indication for PPM (SND, AVB) was identified. Cox proportional hazards model with pacemaker implantation as a time-varying covariate was used to evaluate its effect on the primary endpoint of retransplant or death. We included 1609 OHTs in 1511 adult patients with median follow-up of 12 years.
    Results: At transplant, patients were aged 53 ± 13 years and 1125 (74.5%) were male. Pacemakers were implanted in 109 (7.2%) patients; 65 for SND (4.3%) and 43 for AVB (2.8%). Repeat OHT was performed in 103 (6.4%) cases and 798 (52.8%) patients died during the follow-up period. The risk of the primary endpoint was significantly higher in patients requiring PPM for AVB (HR 3.0, 95% CI 2.1-4.2, p < .01) after controlling for age at OHT, gender, hypertension, diabetes, renal disease, history of repeat OHT, acute rejection, transplant coronary vasculopathy, and atrial fibrillation, but not PPM for SND (HR 1.0, 95% CI 0.70-1.4, p = 1.0).
    Conclusions: Patients who required PPM for AVB, but not SND, were at significantly higher risk of death or retransplant compared to patients who did not require PPM.

    Abstract Wildlife-friendly management practices promote pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Wild bee densities are driven by landscape composition, as they benefit from an increased availability of nesting and foraging resources at landscape scale. However, effects of landscape composition on bee foraging decisions and consequences for crop pollination have rarely been studied. We investigated, how landscape composition affects bee densities and foraging behavior in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) fields and how this impacts faba bean yield. We recorded densities and nectar robbing behavior of honeybees, long- tongued and short-tongued bumblebees in faba bean fields in eleven landscapes with varying landscape composition (e.g. land cover of oilseed rape, faba bean and semi-natural habitats). Moreover, we assessed yield components of faba beans via pollinator exclusion experiments. Increasing covers of faba bean and semi-natural habitats positively influenced bumblebee densities, while high oilseed rape covers negatively affected short-tongued bumblebee densities in bean fields. Increased faba bean covers enhanced the proportion of nectar-robbing short-tongued bumblebees. The number of beans per pod was increased by insect pollination, while the number of pods was decreased; these effects however depended on variety. Landscape composition interacted with bee densities in shaping yield components in V. faba. Our study emphasizes the importance of considering landscape management to maximize crop yields, as shown for the case of faba beans. The composition of agricultural landscape can modulate bee densities in crop fields, bees foraging behavior and pollination services.

    Abstract Over the last years, new evidence has accumulated on multiple aspects of diagnosis and management of cerebral venous and dural sinus thrombosis (CVT) including identification of new risk factors, studies on interventional treatment as well as treatment with direct oral anticoagulants. Based on the GRADE questions of the European Stroke Organization guideline on this topic, the new German guideline on CVT is a consensus between expert representatives of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. New recommendations include:• CVT occurring in the first weeks after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with vector vaccines may be associated with severe thrombocytopenia, indicating the presence of a prothrombotic immunogenic cause (Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia; VITT).• D-dimer testing to rule out CVT cannot be recommended and should therefore not be routinely performed.• Thrombophilia screening is not generally recommended in patients with CVT. It should be considered in young patients, in spontaneous CVT, in recurrent thrombosis and/or in case of a positive family history of venous thromboembolism, and if a change in therapy results from a positive finding.• Patients with CVT should preferably be treated with low molecular weight heparine (LMWH) instead of unfractionated heparine in the acute phase.• On an individual basis, endovascular recanalization in a neurointerventional center may be considered for patients who deteriorate under adequate anticoagulation.• Despite the overall low level of evidence, surgical decompression should be performed in patients with CVT, parenchymal lesions (congestive edema and/or hemorrhage) and impending incarceration to prevent death.• Following the acute phase, oral anticoagulation with direct oral anticoagulants instead of vitamin K antagonists should be given for 3 to 12 months to enhance recanalization and prevent recurrent CVT as well as extracerebral venous thrombosis.• Women with previous CVT in connection with the use of combined hormonal contraceptives or pregnancy shall refrain from continuing or restarting contraception with oestrogen-progestagen combinations due to an increased risk of recurrence if anticoagulation is no longer used.• Women with previous CVT and without contraindications should receive LMWH prophylaxis during pregnancy and for at least 6 weeks post partum.Although the level of evidence supporting these recommendations is mostly low, evidence from deep venous thrombosis as well as current clinical experience can justify the new recommendations.This article is an abridged translation of the German guideline, which is available online.
