Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine attitudes of winter sport participants toward a ski helmet mandatory. In total, 959 persons who had to estimate statements regarding ski helmet and helmet mandatory with the aid of a five level Likert scale were interviewed. About 85 % of interviewed persons totally agreed that a ski helmet reduces head injury risk although only 64 % are wearing a ski helmet. Significant more helmet wearers and females compared to non-wearers and males totally agreed that all winter sport participants should wear ski helmets on slopes as well as that all children on slopes should wear a ski helmet. Also, significant more helmet wearers and females compared to non-wearers and males totally agreed that a ski helmet mandatory for all people has to be recommended as well as that a ski helmet mandatory for children under 16 years has to be recommended. However, the acceptance for a helmet mandatory for all people as well as for children was significantly lower compared to recommendations for helmet use irrespective of helmet use or gender. Therefore, we conclude that preventive helmet campaigns possibly attain a higher acceptance leading to a higher helmet use compared to a helmet mandatory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the growing research on body image disturbances in chronically ill patients, reports of such disturbances in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of different aspects of body image disturbances in patients with MS, taking into account the disability status as well as depressive symptoms. MATERIALS & METHODS Forty patients with MS and 28 healthy controls were investigated with questionnaires assessing attractiveness/self-confidence, accentuation of external appearance, worries about possible physical deficits, sexual problems, vitality and depressive symptoms. In MS patients, medical parameters like the expanded disability status were assessed too. RESULTS In comparison with healthy controls, the MS patients, being although only mildly disabled and in a quite stable mood, reported significantly higher worries about physical deficits, described a significantly worse body appraisal and significantly more sexual problems. While female MS patients predominantly suffered from worries concerning physical deficits and feelings of being less attractive, sexual problems were of particular concern in male MS patients. CONCLUSIONS Even mildly impaired MS patients who are not markedly depressed have to deal with problems of body image. Improvement of body image perception in MS patients taking gender-specific differences into account represents a promising area of future psychological research.

Abstract
Introduction:
The aim of this nonrandomized study was to compare the ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence rates in patients with invasive breast cancer, who had been treated with breast conserving surgery and whole breast irradiation and conventional boost or intraoperative electron radiotherapy boost (IOERT).
Patients and Methods:
378 patients were included in the study, 188 patients in group 1 (conventional boost) and 190 patients in group 2 (IOERT boost). Patients were comparable with regard to age, menopausal status, tumor size, histological type, grading and axillary lymph node status. Included were patients with invasive breast cancer pT1 and pT2, N0, N1, N2, M0, and breast conserving surgery with clear margins >3mm. Excluded were patients with DCIS only, patients with invasive breast cancers larger than pT2, patients after primary systemic therapy and patients with multicentric disease. All patients (group 1 and group 2) received postoperative whole breast irradiation of 51-56.1 Gy. Group 1 received postoperative electron boost irradiation of 12 Gy after whole breast irradiation and group 2 received one intraoperative electron boost of 9 Gy in a single fraction during surgery before whole breast irradiation. Results:
The 10-years actuarial rates of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR), true local recurrence (TLR), distant recurrence (DR) and disease free survival (DFS) were 7.1% (95%CI, 3.2-11.0%), 4.8% (95%CI, 1.5-8.0%), 14,2% (95%CI, 9.1-19.4%) and 82.4% respectively in group1 and 2.7% (95%CI, 0.0-5.9%, P=0.062), 0.7% (95%CI, 0.0-2.0%, P=0.016), 13.6% (95%CI, 5.0-22.2%, P=0.90) and 84.0% (P= 0.76) respectively in group 2.
Conclusion:
Patients treated with IOERT boost and whole breast irradiation achieve excellent local control rates at 10 years and exhibit statistically significant decreased true local recurrence rates compared to patients treated with whole breast irradiation and conventional electron boost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is evidence that psychosocial factors at work influence the risk of poor health in Western societies, but little is known about the effect of work stress in the former communist countries. The aim of this paper is to compare the association of work stress with self-rated health in Western European and post-communist countries. METHODS Data from four epidemiological studies were used: the HAPIEE study (Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic), the Hungarian Epidemiological Panel (Hungary), the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study (Germany) and the Whitehall II study (UK). The overall sample consisted of 18 494 male and female workers aged 35-65 years. RESULTS High effort-reward imbalance at work was associated with poor self-rated health. The adjusted odds ratios for the highest versus lowest quartile of the effort-reward ratio were 3.8 (95% CI 1.9 to 7.7) in Hungary, 3.6 (95% CI 2.3 to 5.7) in the Czech Republic, 2.5 (95% CI 1.5 to 4.1) in the UK, 2.3 (95% CI 1.6 to 3.5) in Germany, 1.5 (95% CI 1.0 to 2.1) in Poland and 1.4 (95% CI 1.1 to 1.8) in Russia. The differences in odds ratios between countries were statistically significant (p<0.05). A similar pattern was observed for the effect of overcommitment on poor health. CONCLUSION The association of effort-reward imbalance at work and of a high degree of work-related overcommitment with poor self-rated health was seen in all countries, but the size of the effects differed considerably. It does not appear that the effects in Eastern Europe are systematically stronger than in the West.

Abstract #5156
Introduction: Ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) rates are reported to be increased in patients treated with breast conserving surgery after preoperative chemotherapy. Aim of this study was to evaluate the IBTR rate in patients who were treated with preoperative chemotherapy followed by breast conserving surgery and intraoperative radiotherapy with electrons (IOERT).
 Patients and Methods: 84 patients with clinical stage II or III breast cancer were included in the study. Patients received 3 to 6 cycles of anthracyclin/taxane containing preoperative chemotherapy. All patients had breast conserving surgery with sentinel node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection and received intraoperative radiotherapy with 9 Gy to the 90% reference isodose as an anticipated boost radiation. Whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT) was performed after surgery for all patients.
 Results: Pathologic complete response was achieved in 18/84 (21%) patients. Mean resection volume was 250 ml. After a median follow-up of 30.5 months (range 6 – 77 months) no IBTR could be observed. One patient developed a locoregional recurrence in the axilla and nine patients developed distant disease, five of those died of disease. Three patients developed contralateral breast cancer. 71 patients are alive without evidence of disease.
 Conclusion: Breast conserving surgery with IOERT in boost modality after preoperative chemotherapy is a reliable tool for the prevention of IBTR. The period between IOERT and WBRT is short as no adjuvant chemotherapy is necessary. Cosmetic outcome is excellent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of allergen-specific and total IgE serum levels before and during the pollen season on symptom severity as well as efficacy of treatment with anti-IgE requires further delineation. METHODS Birch and grass pollen allergic patients aged 6-17 years with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) were analyzed for the association of IgE serum concentration with symptom severity and rescue medication use (combination: symptom load, SL) during the grass pollen season. Reference group A (n = 53) received placebo, while group B (n = 54) received Omalizumab (anti-IgE) monotherapy before and during the grass pollen season. RESULTS Patients on placebo with high baseline specific grass pollen IgE (>50 kU/l) had a significantly higher SL compared with those with low IgE levels (< or =50 kU/l): SL 1.28 vs 0.61, P = 0.015. This association was nonexistent in patients treated with anti-IgE. In contrast, baseline total IgE levels did not correlate with SL in any group. Patients with anti-IgE treatment and high free total IgE levels (>16.7 ng/ml) had a significantly higher SL compared with those with low free total IgE levels (< or =16.7 ng/ml): SL 0.63 vs 0.23, P = 0.031. CONCLUSIONS Baseline specific IgE, but not total IgE, is associated with symptom severity during the pollen season in children with SAR. Likewise, the symptom load in SAR patients with anti-IgE correlates with free total IgE levels. Although further research in larger populations is needed to confirm our findings, our data suggest that specific IgE can be used as a parameter for patient selection for this kind of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic tinnitus can massively impair the quality of life of patients affected with this disorder. Whether the constant ringing sounds and head noises heard by the sufferer have a stressful effect on the individual's partner has not been investigated so far. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 32 members of the Tyrolean tinnitus self-help group suffering from chronic tinnitus and their partners with whom they shared a common household for a minimum period of 2 years underwent psychological investigation with regard to their subjectively experienced tinnitus-related stress, the quality of their partnership, emotional support they received, style of communication with their partners, and depression. RESULTS Our results show that it is not the extent of subjective tinnitus that is associated with impaired partnership quality, but rather the extent of tinnitus-associated depression. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that in clinical practice, less emphasis should be placed on the dynamics of family and partnership aspects and more attention should be paid to the possible presence of symptoms of depression and their treatment.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy followed by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be associated with high physical and emotional distress levels and reduced quality of life. Systematic prospective measurement of impact of therapy on patient quality of life can aid treatment choices and provide better patient information. We describe the development of a high-dose chemotherapy questionnaire module to supplement the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Phases 1-3 of module development were conducted in United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and Norway, according to EORTC QOL Group guidelines. Forty-eight quality of life (QOL) issues were generated from the literature searches and interviews with health care professionals (n=24) and patients (n=92). This produced a 50 item provisional module. Further testing in 169 patients resulted in the QLQ-HDC29 module, containing 29 items, conceptualised into six multi-item scales and eight single items. The EORTC QLQ-C30, supplemented by QLQ-HDC29 will provide a comprehensive QOL measure for the international clinical trials of high-dose chemotherapy.
