title: [2015 literature findings in general internal medicine].
abstract: Benzodiazepines are associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Systematic dosage and vitamin D substitution have no place in times of immediate post-menopause. Topical placebos challenge analgesics in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Palliative chemotherapy does not improve life-quality at the end of life. Restrictive transfusion thresholds entail no risk. Spirometry should always be performed before the initiation of a long-term bronchodilator therapy. Practitioners continue to overprescribe antibiotics for infections of the upper respiratory tract. Pap test may soon be replaced by HPV urinary testing. Without increasing costs, a telephone triage by the primary care physician can reduce the number of consultations.
