[Cardiac rehabilitation of elderly patients with multiple diseases].

The cardiac diseases present in 274 multimorbid, older patients (mean age 72,42 yrs.) have been examined in the study reported. Careful differentiation of cardiac diagnoses present at the time of admission was found to be of utmost importance in outcome prediction. The combination of cardiac decompensation and arrhythmia, and recurrent infarction in the presence of myocardial scarring, respectively, had been the most important factors concerning functional capacity at time of discharge. Mortality, too, was found to be related to these criteria.

[(General rehabilitation in oncology)].

Rehabilitation has become a modern expression. For many years optimal rehabilitation has been carried out in many different sectors of illness. Too few activities, however, have been developed for the rehabilitation and control of cancer patients. No other group requires rehabilitation as foremost as that of cancer patients who need a complete and complex program which besides pure medical treatment affords psychosomatic care primarily. By developing a program under the title "Wiener Modell" (Vienna Model), our department was able to put into practice a suitable program for the control of cancer patients. The success was possible due to the excellent teamwork of doctors, nurses and therapeuts as well as the inter-disciplinary cooperation of all specialists available in a municipal modern hospital.

[Rehabilitation in oncology].

Successful rehabilitation can only be carried out by the precise teamwork of doctors, nurses and therapeutic personnel whereby, especially in cancer patients, importance of psycho-somatic aspects are emphasized. Under all circumstances, rehabilitation must immediately follow acute therapy. Especially, the rehabilitation of cancer patients convince them, that they are not lost. It is desirable that rehabilitation of cancer patients should increase, preferably in specialized oncology rehabilitation centers - similar to the cardiological or rheumatic rehabilitation centers. The main purpose of general rehabilitation in oncology should be the somatic and psychological revitalization of the patient under the motto: Don't merely prolong life, add worthwhile living for each life.
