[Requirements of a regional medical service for drug addicted patients].

Modern services for persons with disorders resulting from psychoactive drug abuse must conform to the complexity of their needs. Low threshold access, standards for the prescription of opiates, out-patient, in-patient and day-hospital detoxification, rehabilitation and abstinence oriented strategies are fundamental prerequisites. The quality of services for drug dependent patients is defined by the percentage finding access to the service, the percentage of those continuing in the service, the easy and rapid transition between the different elements of the service, the degree of abstinence, decriminalization, physical comorbidity and mortality. Finally the cost of treated and untreated drug dependence should be considered.

Dynamic shadow mask technique: a universal tool for nanoscience.

A comprehensive instrument, designed for fabricating nanostructures by evaporation through a dynamic shadow mask in ultrahigh vacuum, is described. The versatility and performance of the instrument is demonstrated through a series of examples, allowing for applications that are impossible to achieve with traditional nanopatterning methods. Clean nanostructures or entire devices made of different materials and on various substrates can be fabricated. The technique is compatible with fundamental surface science and can be easily interfaced with other fabrication and characterization techniques.

[Diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of diabetic eye diseases].

Diabetes mellitus causes diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy, optical nerve neuropathy, cataract and defects of the eye muscles. The incidence of these defects correlates with duration and quality of the metabolic control. The recommendations of the Austrian Diabetes Association for the diagnosis, the therapeutic measures and requirements for adequate follow-up depending on the stages of the different forms of diabetic eye diseases are summarized.
