    Notes: Summary In five patients with Crohn's disease long-term therapy with metronidazole (400 mg b.i.d.) was followed by a significant reduction of total serum cholesterol from 179 mg/dl to 156 mg/dl, 134 mg/dl, and 143 mg/dl, after 2–4 months, 6 months, and 9–12 months, respectively. Lipoprotein analysis before and after 3 weeks of administration of metronidazol (400 mg/day) to five normolipemic volunteers revealed that LDL-cholesterol was reduced by 21% (P〈0.05), whereas HDL-cholesterol remained unchanged. Biliary secretion of cholesterol and bile acids were reduced by 13% and 20% (P〈0.05), respectively, which might suggest a decreased sterol synthesis. The amount and percentage of intestinal cholesterol absorption were decreased by 33% and 22% (P〈0.05). Thus, a possible decrease in sterol synthesis and a reduction of cholesterol absorption might be responsible for the serum-cholesterol-lowering effect of metronidazole. However, caution should be taken when considering metronidazole for long-term treatment of patients with hypercholesterolemia due to possible side effects.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Treatment of pain is an medical operation that requires informed consent of the patient as justification. Invasive treatment of pain causes frequently civil and sometimes even criminal responsability of the physician which can be reduced by detailed information about typical risks. Information about abuse, physical and psychological dependence and consequences on the ability to operate a vehicle must be a part of a medicinal treatment. In any treatment, the patient has a right to information about serious alternativemethods. It is the responsibility of the physician to inform the patient in a personal dialogue. Information forms can support but not replace the dialogue. In case of minority of the patient or missing expression of will the physician has to inform the legal representative(s) or to search for the presumed will of the patient. The information about post operative treatment should take place before the operation to keep the patients consent free of influence of anasthesia or pain caused by the operation. Treatment of pain is often not vital and additional to treatment of the basic desease, so that the physician has to inform both about the treatment of pain and of basic desease. Even by final desease a renunciation of information is possible only under very restricted circumstances. Documentation has to be a part of any information to avoid lack of evidence in a trial.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Schmerztherapie ist grundsätzlich ein ärztlicher Heileingriff, der der Einwilligung des Patienten zur Rechtmäßigkeit bedarf. Die Wirksamkeit der Einwilligung hängt von einer umfassenden Aufklärung des Patienten ab (Selbstbestimmungsaufklärung). Merkblätter und Beipackzettel können das Arzt-Patienten-Gespräch nur unterstützen, nicht ersetzen. Die Aufklärung muß echte Behandlungsalternativen umfassen. Bei den haftungsrelevanten invasiven Maßnahmen ist eine umfangreiche Risikoaufklärung unabdingbar. Zur medikamentösen Therapie gehört der Hinweis auf Abhängigkeitsgefahren und Beeinträchtigungen der Fahrtauglichkeit. Die Aufklärung hat bei geplanten postoperativen Maßnahmen möglichst präoperativ zu erfolgen, damit die Entscheidungsfreiheit des Patienten nicht durch die Nachwirkungen der Operation beeinträchtigt wird. Zur Aufklärung gehört schon aus prozessualen Beweisgründen die Dokumentation.
