Abstract

The current conflicts on the Balkans are used as an opportunity to call to mind the VIII. conference of the DDG in Sarajevo in 1903. For the first time, it then took place in a city which did not have a university and therefore no university clinic. Possible political but also dermato-venereological aspects concerning the choice of conference venue are discussed. Furthermore, highlights of the situation of the DDG in those days are presented and some central points regarding the professional topics of the conference and presentation are considered.

On-demand therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The following pages summarize the proceedings of a symposium held in May 2006 on the emerging role of on-demand therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Medical therapy for GERD has undergone significant change in recent years with the advent of effective, but expensive, antisecretory agents. On-demand (patient-driven) therapy is attractive to payers and patients, because it appears to be both cost-effective and convenient. Many individuals appear to accept occasional symptomatic breakthrough in exchange for personal control of their disease. On-demand therapy should be distinguished from intermittent therapy, which is either patient- or physician-driven, but which requires intermittent episodes of continuous therapy followed by discontinuation until symptoms recur. Proton pump inhibitors appear to be effective on-demand agents despite theoretical pharmacodynamic limitations for this class of drug. The available data support the use of on-demand therapy for GERD in uninvestigated reflux disease, nonerosive reflux disease, and possibly mild esophagitis as well. On-demand therapy should not be considered for patients with severe esophagitis.
