To Love Life
by Alawiya Sobh
The novel revolves around the heroine Basma, who suffers from a neurological disease. The sedative medications prescribed by her doctor have affected her memory and so she has become confused. She tries to restore her memory and her body, which has been plagued by painful spasms – something difficult for someone like her, a dancer and choreographer. The novel unfolds inconsistently, telling the story of Basma from childhood on, experiences with her first boyfriend, Ahmad, and her sickness after following the tragic departure of him and her father during the Lebanese civil war. In addition to Basma’s story, we read about the lives of the people she knew and liked throughout her life, including her friend, Anisa, and her emotionally and financially tight husband, and how writing changed her life and helped her fight her disability. We also read about Amina, who is emotionally hungry, and Nizar who investigated different politics and beliefs, ending up insane. In addition to other characters with stories that run in parallel with the main character, Basma, whose life centres on her relationship with her lover and husband, Youssef. A creative painter, his shifts towards fundamentalism lead her to separate from him as she is passionate about life, love and dancing. The novel accurately describes the similarities between her sick body and that of Arab cities collapsed due to the sectarian wars that took place after the so-called ‘Arab Spring’. The heroine documents her sickness to a virtual friend, describing what made her sick and how she resists her illness with will and determination. Her narrative expresses her rejection of religious, sectarian and terrorist extremism of all sects and religions, especially those that diverged from the true Islamic religion and its compassionate teachings. In this novel we find poignant human details and a graceful narration full of expressions that make the reader anxious to know more about the destinies of all its characters. Between the memory of a past saturated with loss and love, and a crueler present witnessed in collapsing cities, Basma clings to her body that keeps on betraying her. Who said that our lives and our bodies are different from the stories of our cities? Who among us knows if our most recent dance was the farewell dance, or a new beginning?

October 2020The Eco-Balance on the Plate
How What We Eat Can Protect the Climate
by Dr. Malte Rubach
How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.

The Barefoot Doctor
by Can Xue
The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

2024The second half of your life - a manual
Tips and strategies for successful ageing
by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch
In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia Kühner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

Prescriptions for children in paediatric practice
by Edited by Dr. Andreas S. Ziegler, Nadine Metzger and Prof. Dr. Dagmar Fischer. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Langguth, Dr. Stefan Seyferth and Dr. Norbert Ohem
When children are ill, there is often a lack of suitable proprietary medicines. With experience and expertise, pharmacies close this gap. In the process, they are often confronted with complex questions before preparing a medicine: Is the dosage right? Which dosage form will be accepted by the child? How do I process the active ingredient in a child-friendly way? Which excipients are suitable? Formularium paediatricum provides answers to these and numerous other questions: ■ 70 monographs on tested standard formulations describe the preparation process step-by-step and explain paediatric specifics in terms of formulation. ■ an annotated list of common paediatric excipients as well as comprehensive explanations for evaluating children‘s formulations help to assess unknown, non-standardised formulations. Whenever it is a case of extemporaneous medicines for children: the Formularium paediatricum assists in the preparation in the pharmacy to succeed safely and confidently.

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

Migräne
by Dr. Peter Hermes
Migräne: eine neue Behandlung für einen alten Fluch Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen ein verheerendes Migränesyndrom verursachen? Von Dr. Peter Hermes Etwa 15 % der allgemeinen Bevölkerung der „zivilisierten“ Welt leidet unter Migräne. Etwa 50 % der Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, werden niemals korrekt diagnostiziert, und nur die Hälfte derer, bei denen eine Migräne korrekt diagnostiziert wurde, erhält eine geeignete Behandlung. Daher führen etwa 75 % aller Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, ein elendes Leben in den Klauen schwerer, bedrückender Kopfschmerzen, verbringen einen Großteil ihrer Zeit in dunklen Räumen, isoliert von Lärm und Mitmenschen, müssen sich übergeben und versuchen eine „Wunderdroge“ nach der anderen. Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen (PFO) die Ursache dieses Elends sein? Der Autor schildert die Entdeckung des PFO, die moderne Diagnose, die Beziehung zu verschiedenen Arten des Kopfschmerzes sowie sein häufiges Vorkommen (40 bis 50 % der Menschen, die unter Migräne leiden, haben PFO). Das Buch enthält eine ausführliche Diskussion der neuen Geräte, mit denen dieses „Loch“ im Herzen durch einen Eingriff unter lokaler Betäubung, die weniger als eine Stunde dauert und nur eine Nacht im Krankenhaus erfordert, geschlossen werden kann. Lesen Sie weiter, um die Antwort auf dieses medizinische Rätsel zu finden, das die zivilisierte Welt seit dem Altertum plagt... Dr. Peter Hermes verfügt über einen Abschluss an der Sorbonne, ist Neurologe, der mit führenden medizinischen Zentren und Kopfschmerzkliniken in seiner Heimat Frankreich sowie in Italien, den USA und in Israel zusammen arbeitet. Zusammen mit seinen Kollegen Dr. Anzola, Dr. Onorato und Dr. Santoro konzentriert er sich auf die Beziehung zwischen dem PFO (dem „Loch im Herzen“) und der Migräne. Der Autor reist durch die ganze Welt, kümmert sich um Kranke und Arme in Indien ebenso wie um Reiche und Berühmte in der Park Avenue in New York, die Beduinen von Vaadi Naaman in Israel und die Migränekranken in Tel Aviv. Er teilt seine Zeit zwischen seinen Patienten in Israel und Italien, wo er außerdem ein erfolgreiches Musikfestival leitet.

Migraines
by Dr. Peter Hermes
Migraines : Un nouveau traitement pour un ancien fléau. Un petit trou dans le cœur peut être à l’origine du terrible syndrome migraineux ? par Dr. Peter Hermes (Originalement écrit en français) Les migraines touchent à peu près 15% de la population générale du monde dit « civilisé ». La moitié des « migraineux » ne sont pas diagnostiqués de façon correcte et seulement 50% parmi ceux qui ont reçu un diagnostic correct reçoivent des traitements appropriés. Donc à peu près 75% des « migraineux » vivent un enfer au quotidien, isolés dans des chambres obscures, loin des bruits et des gens, atterrés par un mal de tête violent et brutal, en proie à des vomissements, et essayant chaque nouveau médicament miraculeux qui vient de sortir sur le marché. Est-ce possible qu’un tout petit trou dans la paroi cardiaque soit a l'origine de toutes ces misères ? L'auteur vous fait voyager à travers ce processus qui mène à la découverte du PFO, et de son diagnostic moderne, et vous explique sa relation avec les divers types de migraine et met en évidence sa grande fréquence chez les patients (à peu près 40-50 % des migraineux sont porteurs d'un PFO). Un chapitre entier est dédié à la description des nouvelles prothèses cardiaques dont l’implantation demande seulement une nuit d'hospitalisation et se fait sous anesthésie locale dans des centres spécialisés, et cela en moins d'une heure ! Lisez la suite du livre qui vous apportera des réponses, et peut être un soulagement au grand problème de la migraine, qui hante le monde « civilisé » depuis bien longtemps ! Le Dr. Hermès diplômé de la faculté de médecine de Paris (La Sorbonne) est un neurologue spécialisé dans le traitement des migraines et des troubles cardiaques liés à la migraine. Il a travaillé dans des centres hospitaliers en France, en Italie, aux États Unis et en Israël. En collaboration avec ses collègues Italiens, Dr. Anzola, Dr. Onorato et Dr. Santorro, il a focalisé son travail sur la relation entre PFO (« le trou du coeur ») et les migraines et a publié de nouveaux et passionnants résultats. Grand voyageur, il a soigné des pauvres et des malades en Inde, des riches et des célèbres sur Park Avenue à New York , des bédouins de Vadi Naaman en Israël et des « migraineux » de Tel Aviv. Il partage son temps entre ses malades à Tel Aviv et en Italie où il dirige un festival de musique à grand succès.
