[Vaccination preventable infectious diseases in Germany--current status].
Under the aspect of 33 years relevant experience in the medical profession, an attempt was made to describe the problems connected with the situation of the vaccination-preventable diseases 4 years after the reunification in Germany. In addition, the analysis of the actual situation in the infectious epidemiology was necessary. Comparing the current state in vaccination preventable infectious diseases with the aims of WHO, conclusions for an improved regime of immunization in germany were derived. The author is aware of the explosive nature of these suggestions, because they mean a radical change of the present habits and procedures in connection with vaccination-preventable diseases in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Review[Rational therapy of chronic pain conductions by the family physician].
Despite numerous efforts to establish an adequate pain treatment, many patients still do not receive a proper pain therapy. This is unfortunate as it is estimated that between 5 and 7.6 Mi. people are suffering from chronic pain in Germany. This paper is demonstrating an adequate pain management for different diseases including an interdisciplinary approach. Further, we hope to reduce the fear of many physicians for the administration of opioid analgetics to realize a proper pain treatment where indicated.
