Introduction The present study reports the first clinical experience with subcostal uniportal VATS (suVATS) compared with the conventional lateral uniportal VATS (luVATS) approach. Patients and Methods All patients who underwent suVATS between January 2019 and April 2020 were included. Patients who had undergone luVATS for similar indications were...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem. Loss of elastic recoil, hyperinflation and obstruction of the expiratory airflow lead to an increased breathing work, which results in dyspnea during minimal physical activity of the patients. Reduction of the lung volume in these patients leads to improvement of dyspnea...

Zusammenfassung Patienten mit einem Thoraxtrauma können in den meisten Fällen durch die Anlage einer großlumigen Thoraxsaugdrainage und eine adäquate analgetische Therapie erfolgreich therapiert werden. Die initiale Behandlung richtet sich i. d. R. nach Feststellung der vitalen Notwendigkeit durch den Notarzt bzw. den behandelnden Chirurgen in der...

Climate changes indicating temperature increase and precipitation decrease influence significantly water resources, land use, economic development and environment. Some extreme events such as floods and droughts become more frequent. The established significant trend of drought in the region of Southeast Europe (SEE) causes a water stress, vulnerab...

This report summarizes the main transnational strategic planning questions based on the results and outputs of CC WARE project. A common strategic planning methodology is used for addressing the transnational elements of a strategy for mitigating vulnerability of safe drinking water supply (DWSUP) under climate change in South-Eastern Europe (SEE)....

The aim of this guidance is to facilitate the development of national or regional action plans to mitigate vulnerability of water resources under climate change. This document is targeted to those stakeholders who are directly or indirectly related to the protection of drinking water resources and/or dealt with climate change issues.

The main objective of the project CC-WARE is the development of an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and mitigating water resources vulnerability which builds the basis for an implementation of national / regional action plans.

An analysis of the available water resources in the Struma river basin, their use at present and in some future climate scenarios is made in c onnection with the development of River Basin Management Plans and Drought Management Plans. An imbalance between runoff and water demand is established even now in many regions of the river watershed and th...

An analysis of the available water resources in the Struma river basin, their use at present and in some future climate scenarios is made in connection with the development of River Basin Management Plans and Drought Management Plans. An imbalance between runoff and water demand is established even now in many regions of the river watershed and th...

Forests and fresh water quality interact through soil stability, tree species variability and age of stands. Basin characteristics like topography, geology, drainage area, stream order, effect of the amount of time that water is exposed to the minerals and soils and water flowing velocity. The purpose of this work was to investigate the relationshi...

The main objective of the EU Water Framework Directive is the protection and improvement the quality of surface and ground water resources, which can be implemented through the development of river basin management plans. They consider predominantly the qualitative aspects of waters –chemical and ecological status of water bodies. But at the same t...
