        Big Deals with Alternative Medicine

        by Beate Frenkel

        The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.

        Werke. Historisch-kritische Ausgabe. I. Abteilung: Lyrik und Prosa

        Band 2/3: Der Sand aus den Urnen. Mohn und Gedächtnis

        by Paul Celan, Andreas Lohr, Holger Gehle, Rolf Bücher

        »Was ich brauche, was ich so dringend brauche, ist das Gefühl, daß es bei all diesem Hin und Her einen Ausgangspunkt gibt, der, wenn er auch nie wieder erreicht werden kann, dennoch bestehen bleibt – ein solcher Ausgangspunkt wären meine Gedichte, wenn ich sie in Sicherheit wüßte, sauber abgedruckt und gebunden.« An Diet Kloos, 6. 9. 1949 1952 erschien bei der Deutschen Verlags-Anstalt Paul Celans Gedichtband Mohn und Gedächtnis: vier Zyklen aus 56 Gedichten. In diesen Gedichten zog Paul Celan die Summe seines bis dahin entstandenen Werks, zugleich eine Lebenssumme: Auf dem bitteren Weg von Verfolgung und Exil hatte er über die Stationen Bukarest und Wien schließlich Paris erreicht. Mohn und Gedächtnis erfüllte für Celan endlich jenen quälenden Wunsch seines Briefes an Diet Kloos vom 6.September 1949 nach einem Buch als »Ausgangspunkt« seiner künftigen Existenz. Mit Mohn und Gedächtnis drang Celan erstmals ins Bewußtsein der literarisch interessierten öffentlichkeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Vorausgegangen war dem zwar bereits 1948 die in Wien erschienene Gedichtsammlung Der Sand aus den Urnen, doch ließ Celan die Restbestände dieses von Druckfehlern entstellten und praktisch wirkungslosen Buches 1951 makulieren. Einen großen Teil der Gedichte von Der Sand aus den Urnen hat er in Mohn und Gedächtnis übernommen. Die enge Beziehung beider Bücher wird daher auch editorisch dargestellt. Die Bonner Ausgabe ist die umfassende, maßgebliche Ausgabe der Werke Paul Celans. Sie dokumentiert vollständig die Entstehung der Texte. Dies geschieht in genauester Beschreibung der überlieferungsträger und in der genetischen Darstellung der einzelnen Textschichten.

        Nutritional Practice Elderly People

        Concise advisory knowledge

        by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich (ed.)

        The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.

        Leprosy and identity in the Middle Ages

        From England to the Mediterranean

        by Elma Brenner, François-Olivier Touati

        For the first time, this volume explores the identities of leprosy sufferers and other people affected by the disease in medieval Europe. The chapters, including contributions by leading voices such as Luke Demaitre, Carole Rawcliffe and Charlotte Roberts, challenge the view that people with leprosy were uniformly excluded and stigmatised. Instead, they reveal the complexity of responses to this disease and the fine line between segregation and integration. Ranging across disciplines, from history to bioarchaeology, Leprosy and identity in the Middle Ages encompasses post-medieval perspectives as well as the attitudes and responses of contemporaries. Subjects include hospital care, diet, sanctity, miraculous healing, diagnosis, iconography and public health regulation. This richly illustrated collection presents previously unpublished archival and material sources from England to the Mediterranean.

        A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients

        by Uwe Gröber

        Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.
