    Abstract Background: Physicians who practice in a hospice are responsible for working with patients and nursing staff to develop a medication plan, monitor symptoms and pain, and adjust medication if necessary. In inpatient hospices in Germany, physicians are part of a multi-professional approach, but not part of the hospice team itself. However, there is no, or hardly any, literature on medical practice in a hospice setting. Therefore, we wanted to know how physicians reflect upon their role in hospice within a multi-professional setting, how they communicate with patients, relatives, nursing staff and other physicians, and what the limitations of these communication processes are.
    Methods: By means of two qualitative studies we explored how physicians classify their activities as part of the hospice organization. The study design followed Grounded Theory procedures.
    Results: The physicians named an appropriate interpretation of the patient's wishes as the challenge of everyday practice which can lead to differences of perspective with those involved: with nursing staff, who would prefer an alternative form of medication, with relatives, who do not accept that the patient refuses nutrition, with other physicians, who have a different opinion about appropriate treatment. For physicians, this is all the more challenging as communication with the patient becomes increasingly uncertain due to the patient's illness. Again and again, medical measures have to be negotiated on several levels.
    Conclusion: Multi-professional organizations that have to deal with differences in perspective handle them by clearly distinguishing areas of responsibility, an aspect that physicians also claim for themselves. For physicians the question arises repeatedly whether they have correctly interpreted the wishes of the patient. They must continuously reassure themselves of the patient's wishes and this presents them with communication challenges not only with the patient, but also with the nursing staff and relatives and, more recently, with their colleagues.

    Abstract This article considers the role and the practices of spiritual care in hospices. While spiritual care was firmly established as one of the four pillars of practical hospice care alongside medical, psychological and social care by Cicely Saunders, the importance and functions of spiritual care in daily practice remain arguable. When speaking about spirituality, what are we actually speaking about? What form do the spiritual relations take between full-time staff and volunteers on the one hand, and the patients and their family members on the other? These were central questions of a qualitative study that we carried out in four hospices in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, to explore how spiritual care is provided in hospices and what significance spirituality has in hospices. The study shows that the advantages of a broader definition of spirituality lie in "spiritual care" no longer being bound to one single profession, namely that of the chaplain. It also opens the way for nurses and volunteers-irrespective of their own religious beliefs-to provide spiritual end-of-life care to patients in hospices. If the hospice nurses and volunteers were able to mitigate the patients' fear not only by using medications but also in a psychosocial or spiritual respect, then they saw this as a successful psychological and spiritual guidance. The spiritual guidance is to some degree independent of religious belief because it refers to a "spirit" or "inner core" of human beings. But this guidance needs assistance from professional knowledge considering religious rituals if the patients are deeply rooted in a (non-Christian) religion. Here, the lack of knowledge could be eliminated by further education as an essential but not sufficient condition.

    Abstract

    Background: Despite the availability of vaccines, there is an increasing number of SARS-CoV-2-breakthrough-infections.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a radiological difference in lung parenchymal involvement between infected vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. Additionally, we aimed to investigate whether vaccination has an impact on the course of illness and the need for intensive care.
    Methods: This study includes all patients undergoing chest computed tomography (CT) or x-ray imaging in case of a proven SARS-CoV-2 infection between September and November 2021. Anonymized CT and x-ray images were reviewed retrospectively and in consensus by two radiologists, applying an internal severity score scheme for CT and x-ray as well as CARE and BRIXIA scores for x-ray. Radiological findings were compared to vaccination status, comorbidities, inpatient course of the patient's illness and the subjective onset of symptoms.
    Results: In total, 38 patients with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection underwent a CT scan, and 168 patients underwent an x-ray examination during the study period. Of these, 32% were vaccinated in the CT group, and 45% in the x-ray group. For the latter, vaccinated patients exhibited significantly more comorbidities (cardiovascular (p=0.002), haemato-oncological diseases (p=0.016), immunosuppression (p=0.004)), and a higher age (p<0.001). Vaccinated groups showed significantly lower extent of lung involvement (severity scores in CT cohort and x-ray cohort both p≤0.020; ARDS 42% in unvaccinated CT cohort vs. 8% in vaccinated CT cohort). Furthermore, vaccinated patients in the CT cohort had significantly less need for intensive care treatment (p=0.040).
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that vaccination, in the case of breakthrough infection, favours a milder course of illness concerning lung parenchymal involvement and the need for intensive care, despite negative predictors, such as immunosuppression or other pre-existing conditions.

    Abstract Quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA in serum or plasma samples is an essential parameter in HCV diagnostics. Here, the NeuMoDx™Molecular System (Qiagen) was tested for the most common HCV genotypes and compared to the cobas c6800 system (Roche). HCV-RNA from 131 plasma/serum samples from chronically infected patients was determined in parallel on the NeuMoDx and c6800 systems. Linearity was analysed using the four most common HCV genotypes (1-4) in our cohort. The coefficient of variation (CV) within (intra-assay) and between (inter-assay) runs was calculated based on HCV-RNA concentration. Quantitative HCV-RNA results were highly correlated on both test systems (R
