Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Medizin - Neoplasmen, Onkologie, 0 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Ohne Sekundarliteraturverwendung., Abstract: Das Mammakarzinom (Brustkrebs) ist in Deutschland durch eine steigende Inzidenz und eine nach wie vor hohe Mortalitat gekennzeichnet. Statistisch betrachtet erkrankt ungefahr jede neunte Frau in ihrem Leben an Brustkrebs. Die Zahl der Erkrankungen betrug im vergangenen Jahr in der BRD rund 50.000; davon verstarben brustkrebsbedingt 18.000 Patientinnen. Brustkrebs ist damit die haufigste Krebserkrankung der Frau (25% aller Malignome) und bei Frauen im Alter von 35-55 Jahren die haufigste Todesursache. Auffallig ist die geographisch sehr unterschiedlich verteilte Inzidenz mit den hochsten Erkrankungszahlen in Nordamerika und Westeuropa, wahrend in den so genannten Entwicklungslandern besonders wenige Frauen erkranken Abb. 1]. Charakteristisch fur das Mammakarzinom ist hinsichtlich Entstehung und Krankheitsverlauf ein uberaus heterogenes Krankheitsbild. Daraus ergibt sich die Schwierigkeit, ein auf die individuelle Patientin zugeschnittenes, optimales diagnostisches und therapeutisches Vorgehen zu wahlen. Die vorliegende Arbeit fasst verstandlich und pragnant zugleich die aktuellsten Empfehlungen zu Diagnostik und Therapie in Anlehnung an die nationalen S3-Richtlinien Diagnostik, Therapie und Nachsorge des Mammakarzinoms der Frau" sowie Brustkrebs-Fruherkennung in Deutschland" zusammen. Diese Leitlinien beruhen auf den Empfehlungen der jeweiligen Fachgesellschaften und stellen somit den Stand der Wissenschaft dar.

This is a translation of a 12th century Sanskrit legal text, with the original text. The Dayabhaga was one of the most important texts in the history of Indian law. It is important because the British elevated it to such prominence in their new colony in the early 19th century. This text was taken as the authority on inheritance and significant aspects of family law for the eastern Indian region. The case law and scholarship that surround this text have shaped Indian personal law right up to the present day. Until now, there has been only one very inadequate English translation of this text (now 190 years old) - virtually without reference to the Sanskrit. This new translation will make this crucial text genuinely avaliable to those without Sanskrit for the first time.

The resulting trust has received little attention in recent years and this may be because, until relatively recently, the law relating to resulting trusts was thought to be settled and uncontroversial. Most of the current academic writing about resulting trusts is found in the established textbooks on equity and trusts, but these tend to provide little more than catalogues of the situations in which resulting trusts arise. There is, however, very little consensus on the principle by which the resulting trust operates, including the fundamental question whether it arises by opertaion of law or depends on the presumed intention to create a trust. This book examines the true nature of the resulting trust and the question whether the trusts brought into being to reverse unjust enrichment should not include resulting trusts. It then considers whether, when resulting trusts are properly understood, it does turn out that it is through the resulting trust that equity makes its principle contribution to reversing unjust enrichment. This book examines principally the case law of the UK, Canada and Australia, and it also makes reference to the views of academic commentators as found in the standard texts and law journals.

Joyce Rogers sheds new light upon Shakespeare's last public words through her study of medieval and Renaissance ecclesiastical and testamentary laws and custom. Professor Rogers provides extensive background material on English legal history and shows that the legal documents of the time do give legal answer to the doubts and speculations that have grown up around Shakespeare's will. She shows how the will is replete with elements of civil and common as well as ecclesiastical law and custom, making more understandable the disputed points of Shakespeare's will, and establishing that the will was as correct, incontestable, and conventional as possible.

The main thrust of the book, however, is not on the law as such. It is on how the law was used by Shakespeare to serve the best interests and needs of the women and children in his family as well as the friends named therein. As such, the book will be invaluable to students and scholars of Elizabethan society and to all Shakespearean scholars.

Konflikte im Zusammenhang mit dem Themenkomplex Erben und Vererben sind unumganglich und Alltag in der Praxis des erbrechtlich tatigen Anwalts. Fur Erblasser kann sich nun die Frage stellen, ob die Aufnahme einer Schieds- oder Mediationsklausel in die geplante Verfugung von Todes wegen die Entstehung von Konflikten vermeiden oder reduzieren kann. Ebenso ist fraglich, ob die Erben oder Vermachtnisnehmer uberhaupt verpflichtet werden koennen ihren erbrechtlichen Streit durch ein Schieds- oder Mediationsverfahren beilegen zu mussen. Bei der Beantwortung dieser Fragen muss zuerst der erbrechtliche Konflikt naher betrachtet werden und anschliessend versucht werden, die Schieds- und Mediationsklausel rechtsdogmatisch einzuordnen. Nur so ist es moeglich, diese im System des Erbrechts zu platzieren und die Fragen nach der Rechtswirksamkeit einer letztwilligen Schieds- oder Mediationsklausel zu beantworten.

As evidenced in the Terri Schiavo case that made national headlines, having a living will is an essential element in ensuring that the way in which you would like to spend your last days will be respected. It informs both family and doctors of your medical treatment preferences in specific situations. An ethical will is a complementary text that communicates personal values, beliefs, blessings, and advice to relatives and to future generations. It can be more meaningful to friends and family than any material possession you could bequeath to them. Together, living and ethical wills ensure that your wishes and hopes are "on the record," not to be lost, ignored, or forgotten. Offering practical and inspirational advice for people at any stage of life, "Ethical and Living Wills" includes: --Three recommended writing approaches to capturing our feelings for posterity --Expert information for understanding the legal and practical issues involved in documenting your medical care and treatment preferences in commonly occurring situations --Advice on when to distribute both ethical and living wills -- Tips to protect the legacy you leave in an ethical will-preparing and caring for the document you create

Eileen Spring presents an interpretation of the history of inheritance among the English gentry and aristocracy. In a work that recasts both the history of real property law and the history of the family, she argues that one of the principal and determinative features of upper-class inheritance was the virtual exclusion of females from land holding. Tracing the gradual nullification of common law rules under which 40 per cent of English land would have been inherited or held by women, Spring seeks to makes possible a fuller understanding of the social history of land law.

This is the first book to provide a detailed and thorough conceptual analysis of the unit trust. Such analysis is not just of academic interest: it is of much practical relevance too. The author examines such topics as the nature of the unit trust, the interaction of unit holders, the manager's legal position, and the trustee and manager relationship. The book will be invaluable to all those requiring a better understanding of the unit trust.

This important collection of essays by a distinguished group of trust lawyers demonstrates that trusts law continues to be an area of great vitality and practical significance. Trusts is a subject that excites interest with its mixture of sophisticated thinking and practical commercial application. The papers in this volume not only have international appeal but also cover areas which are currently important to the legal profession. The essays range widely over subjects as varied as non-charitable purpose trusts (important for their use in tax havens in commercial and estate planning roles), the protector (a figure increasingly introduced to discretionary trusts in tax havens), pension trusts (important in the light of recent pension fraud), the duty of care owed by company directors to the company, liability and remedies for breach of trust, equities reaction to modern domestic relationships and taxation of the constructive trustee.

How we distribute our assets after death is no longer a question for a small wealthy section of society: increasing numbers of people must now decide how to structure wills and to bequeath money and possessions across generations: not only to family and kin but to charities and institutions also. This path-breaking study offers an empirical study of 800 English wills and uses the material to reflect upon what they tell us of contemporary family and kin relationships. It will be of great interest to lawyers, anthropologists, sociologists and social historians.

Das Buch befasst sich mit einem Teilbereich der Rechtsnachfolge in Familienunternehmen. Das Bestimmungsvermachtnis gibt dem Erblasser die Moeglichkeit, in seinem Testament einen Kreis von Vermachtnisnehmern zu benennen und die endgultige Bestimmung des Vermachtnisnehmers und Unternehmensnachfolgers nach seinem Tod auf einen Dritten zu ubertragen. Auf diese Weise erlangt der Erblasser die Moeglichkeit, dass auch nach dem Erbfall eintretende Umstande bei der Rechtsnachfolge in das Unternehmen Berucksichtigung finden koennen. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht die Frage, welche Rechte das Bestimmungsvermachtnis den beteiligten Personen vermittelt und wie der Erblasser durch eine gezielte Testamentsgestaltung Einfluss auf die jeweiligen Rechtspositionen nehmen kann, um eine moeglichst sachgerechte Nachfolgeplanung sicher zu stellen.

Die Untersuchung befasst sich mit dem sehr praxisrelevanten Schnittstellenbereich: die Stellung des Minderjahrigen im Erbrecht. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung konkretisiert die Autorin zunachst den Begriff des "lediglich rechtlichen Vorteils" ( 107 BGB) und ubertragt ihn auf die Vermachtnisannahme und -ausschlagung. Ist der Vermachtnisnehmer zugleich pflichtteilberechtigt, setzt der Erbe ihm eine Frist zur Erklarung uber die Annahme und lasst der Vermachtnisnehmer die Frist verstreichen, gilt das Vermachtnis als ausgeschlagen ( 2307 Abs. 2 BGB): Hier stellt sich die Frage, wie der Minderjahrigenschutz verwirklicht werden kann. Im Hinblick auf die gesetzliche Vertretung wird bei der Erfullung von Vermachtnissen das Selbstkontrahierungsverbot relevant und die Autorin hinterfragt die weiteren Schutzmechanismen der Erganzungspflegschaft und familiengerichtlichen Genehmigung.

This unique book is the only work to bring together up-to-date texts of annotated and amended UK legislation relating to trusts and estates for the trust practitioner. Each Act has been fully annotated with commentary written by a leading UK barrister which helps to provide a foundation for further research. Key materials reproduced are the Trustee Act 1925, the Administration of Estates Act 1925, the Trusts of Land and Appointment or Trustees Act 1996, and the Trustee Act 2000. Updates to this third edition include amendments to the UK's Wills Act and the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, as a result of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the inclusion of the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

This Report focuses on two main areas: first, the distribution of intestate estates, particularly in relation to a surviving spouse, civil partner or cohabitant; and, secondly, the protection of close relatives (including a surviving spouse, civil partner or cohabitant) from disinheritance by the deceased. Although the 1990 Report ("Report on Succession (Scot Law Com No 124)", ISBN 9780102113907), made recommendations on both of these topics the Scottish Law Commission think that it is timely to reconsider them. This is in large part because of developments both in Scottish society and in relevant areas of the law since 1990. For instance, many more people are cohabiting, either in same-sex or opposite-sex relationships. Step-families are becoming more common. People are living much longer so that many children are middle-aged or older when their parents die, leading to difficult questions about the protection to be afforded to children who are adults at the time of the parent's death. And wealth is more widely distributed, particularly through increased ownership of heritable property. The Report is divided into eight parts and looks in detail at the following ares: Intestate Succession; Protection from Disinheritance; Cohabitation; Private international law; Testamentary documents and special destinations. There is an introduction and an examination of other miscellaneous matters along with a list of recommendations.

Every year, tens of thousand of people die without a will, leaving their property to be distributed according to legal rules dating back to 1925. Even if there is a will, it may not stand up to scrutiny from the courts if reasonable provision was not made for certain family members and dependants. The Law Commission examines options for reform of these rules which would safeguard the position of bereaved spouses, while taking account of the concerns of children and other relatives of the deceased. Where the deceased did not leave children or other descendants, it is proposed that a surviving spouse should inherit the whole estate. In the more complex situation where there are surviving descendants, the Law Commission seeks views from consultees on a series of options for reform. The Law Commission also wants to extend the protection of the intestacy rules to unmarried partners who have lived together for some time or have a child. Under current law, they may have to go to court to claim reasonable provision from a partner's estate, which may involve great financial and emotional cost. These reforms would bring English law into line with public attitudes, and with the law in other Commonwealth countries. Other proposed reforms would improve the rights of children who are adopted after the death of a parent, and would end the unequal treatment of half-brothers and sisters and sisters in inheritance law.
