This was decided by the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt. Accordingly, the employer is also in voluntary benefits such as the Christmas money to the principle of equal treatment bound. In that case, a worker in a foundry a Christmas allowance of around half a monthly earnings, while the employees of the farm a full 13th Monthly salary had been paid. Discrimination against those accused of workers and got right. Workers and employees are expected at Christmas money only be treated differently when there are objective reasons.

Walks help against winter depression
Even on dreary days helping walks against autumn-winter depression. This distortion, in which about one in four Germans more or less severely affected, mainly to the lack of light during the cold months due. "In the dark season should be to ensure sufficient light ensured. For example, an hour stay or walk in the daylight sky covered even if a seasonal depression significantly countered, "Mathias Berger recommended by the board of the German Society for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.
Could complement specific areas in daylight lamps used in its spectral composition of natural sunlight at least partly correct. "It is important that the fluorescent light of these devices the retina of the eye reached, therefore, for example, the use of tanning devices no effect," said the professor, the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the University Hospital in Freiburg forward.
For ease depression, according to Berger often antidepressiv effective St. John's wort preparations used. For effective action is the right dosage of the drug is essential. "Therefore, this herbal medicine under doctor's instructions always take," the expert advises. If the depression and joylessness persists in the spring, when psychiatrists must necessarily be clarified whether it is a non-seasonal depression involved.

DISCOUNT CONTRACTS
The AOK today announced the preliminary information on the new rebate contracts with pharmaceutical companies shipped. Photo: Elke Hinkel leg] Berlin - The AOK today announced the first preliminary information for its new discount contracts sent. As the negotiation leading AOK Baden-Wuerttemberg announced, were sent to 58 firms preliminary decisions on 44 of a total of 64 advertised drugs brought to the post. For five Losgebieten were thus 220 increments possible - to issue within the next two weeks. First, however, nor the review of producers. The AOK has his own sentiment temporary surcharge ban, "due to review individual bidders."
Over the next week, the AOK decisions to send all the ingredients: "We could not yet decide for all substances. As announced in our tender, we had to offer some assessment documents of the bidders nachfordern what the decision-making process in these cases, something in the length moves, "said negotiator Dr. Christopher Hermann.
According to his information had to AOK tender deadline on 3 November 70 bids received: "We have carefully examined all the bids and procurement are also implemented. Objectivity and respect of operational and business secrets were highest bids for us. "The name of the manufacturer wants the fund therefore competitive reasons, does not mention.
Despite an expected confrontation in court, the AOK discount their new contracts on 1 March 2009 to implement. The company is more than two months preparation time, so the ability to supply medicines to ensure the rebate.
The AOK had early August discount contracts for the years 2009 and 2010 tendered. The 64 agents had been issued, according to the Treasury in 2007 a sales volume of 2.3 billion euros. Compared to the previous procedure, the first Europe-wide tender.

New Biomarker detects heart attack and stroke risk
In the biomarkers is the protein molecule Fetuin-A, in the liver and blood to be delivered. High blood levels of the biomarker with a three-to fourfold increased risk of heart attack and stroke combined.
"Already some time ago we observed that increased Fetuin-A levels in the blood with a reduced insulin sensitivity of body cells, and may be given to increasing the storage of fat in the liver indicates," Haering said Ullrich, director of the Medical Clinic IV of the University Hospital in Tuebingen.
But now we know that Fetuin-A not only as a risk marker for type 2 diabetes in question. There is also a strong correlation between Fetuin-A-mirrors and cardiovascular diseases and regardless of risk factors such as hypertension, smoking and diabetes. Persons with a very high Fetuin-A blood value in comparison to those with a low value is a 3.3-fold increased risk of heart attack or a 3.8 fold increased risk of stroke.
During the average follow-up period of 8.2 years, 227 study participants suffered the more than 27,000 adults observed a heart attack. At 168 participants Doctors diagnosed ischemic stroke (An ischemic stroke is a sudden emptiness induced blood brain infarction). "The connection we observed between increased Fetuin-A-mirrors in the blood and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease is exceptionally strong," said Cornelia Weikert, epidemiologist at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE).
Therefore, we hope, Fetuin-A not only as biomarkers to be able to deploy. Man wanted Fetuin-A as a new starting point, to the heart attack and stroke underlying pathogenic mechanisms to investigate and better understand. "Our results suggest that the liver metabolism and especially the fatty liver for the emergence of cardiovascular disease plays an important role," said Andreas Fritsche of the Medical Clinic IV of the University Hospital in Tuebingen.

HIV-infected people in Germany always have higher life expectancy
Thanks to the latest drugs and the use of combination therapy increased their life expectancy continues, as the Federal Statistical Office announced on Friday. However, people having sex again unwary: The number of new infections is rising.
The average age of death from AIDS of 2007 was 50.0 years, while women on average 49.4 years and men 50.1 years old were. In 1997, patients with an average age of 42 died. Communication is the occasion of World AIDS Day on 1 December.

The children emergency warned that new patents could be from next year the production of affordable AIDS medicines for sick children at risk. With cheap manufactured products from imitators India would still large parts of Africa supplies. This could dramatically change when three large pharmaceutical companies in 2009 their patent rights provision.
"The right to life for children but in each case over the patent of the companies are facing," said Frank Mischo, HIV / AIDS expert at the Children relief.
