Arriving Safely – What the Baby Needs

Information for parents on prevention in infancy

Last update: 14.10.2018

What is needed in the first months of a baby’s life for him to arrive safely and grow up? What can parents do to ensure that their child develops well? Vitamin D, fluoride—what makes sense? What do you do about teeth problems? How can caries be prevented? Good sleep—what does it require? How long do we breastfeed and when do we start the baby on solid foods? What does the child need for a healthy diet? How should he be carried?

Answers to these and many other important questions can be found in the following video contributions by the experienced pediatrician Dr. med. Christoph Meinecke.

Case series: Topical application of Viscum album extract in keratinocyte carcinomas shows remissions 
A retrospective case series examined the safety and clinical effects of topical application of 10% lipophilic Viscum album extract (VALE) in individual cases of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and actinic keratosis (AK). The study population consisted of 55 patients with 74 skin lesions. Risk factors, concomitant therapies and diseases, adverse drug reactions to VALE and other relevant information were documented. As a result, the clinical response rate was 78% for cSCC, 70% for BCC and 71% for AK. The complete remission rates for individual lesions were 56% for cSCC, 35% for BCC and 15% for AK. Overall, the results suggest that VALE is a safe and tolerable extract, and complete and partial remissions of ceratinocyte carcinomas were observed with its use.
