Matzat, J. (2012). Fokus : Ansprechpartner Selbsthilfe : was Betroffene für Betroffene leisten können. Hessisches Ärzteblatt, 73(10; 09.03.2012), 662–666.
Abstract: Der Selbsthilfe kommt eine immer größere Bedeutung im deutschen Gesundheitswesen zu. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Einblick in die vielfältige deutsche Selbsthilfelandschaft unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Krebsselbsthilfe gegeben. Dabei wird auf die Begrifflichkeit von “Selbsthilfegruppen”, “Selbsthilfeorganisation” und “Selbsthilfekontaktstellen” eingegangen, die inzwischen auch in Formulierungen des Sozialgesetzbuchs Einzug gehalten hat. Weiterhin werden Leistungen der Selbsthilfe im Bereich wechselseitiger psychosozialer Unterstützung sowie in der Beratung von Betroffenen auch über die eigenen Mitglieder hinaus und schließlich die gesundheitspolitische Interessenvertretung dargestellt.

Matthews, K., Shepherd, J., & Sivarajasingham, V. (2006). Violence-related injury and the price of beer in England and Wales. Applied economics, 38(6), 661–670.
Abstract: The paper examines the influence of the real price of beer on violence-related injuries across the economic regions in England and Wales. The data are monthly frequency of violent-injury collected from a stratified sample of 58 National Health Service Emergency Departments 1995-2000. An econometric model based on economic, socio-demographic and environmental factors was estimated using panel techniques. It is shown that the rate of violence-related injury is negatively related to the real price of beer, as well as economic, sporting and socio-demographic factors. The principal conclusion of the paper is that the regional distribution of the incidence of violent injury is related to the regional distribution of the price of beer. The major policy conclusion is that increased alcohol prices would result in substantially fewer violent injuries and reduced demand on trauma services.

Liechti, M. E., Kunz, I., & Kupferschmidt, H. (2005). Acute medical problems due to ecstasy use : case-series of emergency department visits. Swiss Medical Weekly, 135(43-44; 29.10.2005), 652–657.
Abstract: Study aim: To describe the clinical characteristics of Ecstasy (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, MDMA) toxicity. Methods: Retrospective case-study of 52 selfreported Ecstasy intoxications presenting to our Emergency Department (ED) between January 2001 and December 2003. Results: Most patients ingested Ecstasy together with other substances, including alcohol (51.9%) or other illicit drugs (71.1%). Medical problems leading to ED presentation were collapse or loss of consciousness (36.5%), palpitations (19.2%), dizziness or weakness (15.4%), and anxiety (13.5%). When other drugs were used in combination with Ecstasy the clinical presentation significantly changed. Panic reactions were observed in 4 of 13 patients with cocaine co-use (30.7%), compared to 3 of 39 patients without cocaine use (7.7%). Deep coma was found in 11 of 16 patients with co-use of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) or opiates (68.8%) but in none of the 36 patients who took Ecstasy without these drugs. Most patients were monitored in the ED. Six patients (11.5%) were transferred to an intensive care unit. Medical complications were severe in five patients and included cardiac arrest, hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, renal insufficiency and liver failure, seizures, and one fatal outcome. Conclusions: The clinical picture of Ecstasy related problems is complicated by multiple drug ingestion. Co-use of cocaine induces panic reactions. Co-use of GHB or opiates results in depressed levels of consciousness.

Thorpe, L. E., Ouellet, L. J., Hershow, R., Bailey, S. L., Williams, I. T., Williamson, J., et al. (2002). Risk of hepatitis C virus infection among young adult injection drug users who share injection equipment. American journal of epidemiology, 155(7), 645–653.
Abstract: Designing studies to examine hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission via the shared use of drug injection paraphernalia other than syringes is difficult because of saturation levels of HCV infection in most samples of injection drug users (IDUs). The authors measured the incidence of HCV infection in a large cohort of young IDUs from Chicago, Illinois, and determined the risk of HCV seroconversion associated with specific forms of sharing injection paraphernalia. From 1997 to 1999, serum samples obtained from 702 IDUs aged 18–30 years were screened for HCV antibodies; prevalence was 27%. Seronegative participants were tested for HCV antibodies at baseline, at 6 months, and at 12 months. During 290 person-years of follow-up, 29 participants seroconverted (incidence: 10.0/100 person-years). The adjusted relative hazard of seroconversion, controlling for demographic and drug-use covariates, was highest for sharing “cookers” (relative hazard = 4.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.4, 11.8), followed by sharing cotton filters (relative hazard = 2.4, 95% confidence interval: 1.1, 5.0). Risks associated with syringe-sharing and sharing of rinse water were elevated but not significant. After adjustment for syringe-sharing, sharing cookers remained the strongest predictor of seroconversion (relative hazard = 3.5, 95% confidence interval: 1.3, 9.9). The authors conclude that sharing of injection equipment other than syringes may be an important cause of HCV transmission between IDUs.
