“Background: The quality and impact of care in patients with mastocytosis has not yet been investigated in detail.
Patients
and methods: Here, we report monocentric findings of a retrospective questionnaire from 84 adult inpatients with mastocytosis regarding the quality and impact of pre-inpatient clinical care after a period of inpatient stay. It was possible to analyse the data derived from 50 patients (40 female, 10 male; 74 % with systemic mastocytosis, 26 % with cutaneous mastocytosis).
Results: Correct diagnoses were discovered to have taken over 2 years for 68 % of patients check details (up to 11 years). 58 % of patients required the consultation of three or more clinicians until the final diagnosis was reached; 3 patients consulted more than 9 doctors. The correct diagnosis was finally made in 94 % of patients by a dermatologist. The main symptoms expressed by the patients were skin disorders (92 %), itching (66 %) and exhaustion (48 %). From a patient perspective,
the main triggering factors given were food and food additives (63 %), emotional stress (46 %) and physical exertion (44 %). Interdisciplinary inpatient treatment provided the patients with a better understanding of their disease in 90 %. Outpatient supervision was performed mainly by dermatologists (46 %), family doctors (40 %) and other clinicians (14 %). 22 % required the assistance of various doctors for their outpatient care. Only 14 % of patients reported that their daily life was relatively unaffected by mastocytosis. 22 % felt the disease slightly affected their quality of life, 20 % moderately, 26 % strongly and 18 % said the disease had a very strong impact
on their quality of life. 82 % of patients browsed the Internet in order to find information regarding mastocytosis, although for 26 % this information was not deemed useful and 10 % felt rather unsettled.
Conclusions: Patients with severe mastocytosis requiring hospitalization reported clear restrictions in their daily life. Such patients require an improved interdisciplinary diagnostic approach and therapy.”
“L1(0) GS 1101 FePt-Ta2O5 films with (001) texture were synthesized by cosputtering FePt and Ta2O5 targets and in situ heated at 350 degrees C. The (001) preferred orientation was preserved even when doped with 20 vol % Ta2O5. The out-of-plane coercivity, H-c, increased from 6.7 kOe (for pure FePt film) to 8.8 kOe when doped with 20 vol % Ta2O5. Further increase in the dopant content to 25 and 30 vol % caused Hc to decrease significantly to below 3 kOe. Well-isolated FePt grains of tall column structures were observed for the 12 nm thick FePt film when doped with 20 vol %.
