Eeny, meeny, miny, moe-Summer time and out are you? The working population in the EU would likely benefit from elimination of daylight saving time.
Daylight (saving) time (DST) is an over one century old practice to maximize the overlap between natural day light and individual active time (i.e., non-sleep time). Whether to abandon the practice is subject to an ongoing, twice a year intensifying debate. A request to abandon the practice is based on the lack of benefits in terms of energy savings and potential negative health effects. ⋯ Based on publicly available data we incorporated an approximation of the 27 European Union (EU) countries' spatial population distribution into a calculation of average exposure to morning sunlight under DST or no DST conditions for each EU27 country and the entire region. An online app offers visualization of these differences on the country level alongside a population-weighted average for the EU27. Our findings support that the majority of the EU's working population would likely benefit from the elimination of daylight saving time if maximizing an adequate morning stimulus is the primary goal and adjusting actual time zones or biennially changing the clock is not an option.

This guideline is intended to provide practical guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of haemophilia in Austria. Few randomized controlled interventional trials are available addressing the treatment of haemophilia, therefore recommendations are usually based on low level of evidence and represent expert consensus. ⋯ It includes recommendations and suggestions for diagnosis and follow-up visits and pharmacological therapies for treatment and prophylaxis. Further topics comprise special aspects in children and adults with severe haemophilia, outcome measurement, and management of trauma, special bleedings and interventions, including dental procedures, inhibitors, management of haemophilia carriers, and psychosocial aspects.
