DMSA renal scanning versus urography for detecting renal scars in vesicoureteral reflux.
32 children admitted to Hacettepe University Hospital for surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) between 1987 and 1988 were included in this prospective double-blind study. All patients underwent intravenous urography (IVU), voiding cystouretrography and 99mTc DMSA renal scanning. The sensitivity and specificity of the DMSA scan and IVU for detecting renal scarring were investigated. With regard to the presence of renal scarring, the sensitivity and specificity of IVU and DMSA were not found to be statistically different. But when the scars were scored, DMSA was found to have a higher scoring index compared to IVU. In patients who were candidates for surgical management of VUR, renal scars could be detected both by IVU and DMSA scan but, for the follow-up, the DMSA scan was found to be the investigation of choice.

[Working hours and job satisfaction among physicians in hospitals and general practice in Munich. Results of an anonymous questionnaire].
PURPOSE: In autumn 2004 the local association of physicians (Arztlicher Kreis- und Bezirksverband München) performed a survey among employed physicians in Munich on working hours and working conditions. The aim of the study was to assess the extent to which the German law on working hours is actually implemented in employed physicians, and to obtain information about their work satisfaction. METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to all employed physicians in hospitals and medical practices. Participants were asked to give anonymous information and send it back per mail. RESULTS: In total, 2450 out of 5461 physicians took part in the survey. 45% reported that their working hours do not meet the German law on working hours of 1994. 44.4% stated that overtime is not fully recognized by their employers. 43.5% think the job would become more attractive if the law was implemented. 63.3% expect an income loss with the implementation. 53.7% are thinking about quitting their job. For 59.9% the burden of long working hours is an important reason for this. Women are more likely to be given a limited employment contract than men, and their overtime is more rarely recognized in full. CONCLUSION: Many employed physicians in Munich are dissatisfied with their job. The high burden of long working hours is a main reason for this.
