Peter Suhrkamp, who in 1950 separated from his former publishing partner Gottfried Bermann Fischer and founded his own company, was considered an apt collaborator for the British Allies in their reeducation efforts. Still a partner in the S. Fischer Verlag, he had stayed in Germany during the Nazi regime and protected his authors against official attacks, while Bermann Fischer published the “un-German” émigré writers in exile. Imprisoned on charges of treason in 1944, Suhrkamp was not released from concentration camp until February 1945. The first German publisher to receive a license from the British military government, Suhrkamp developed a pedagogical publishing program for postwar Germany. In 1948, he was invited by the British to prepare German POWs in English camps for their return to Germany. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The importance of postoperative care of hand injuries is undisputed, but sometimes more intensive therapy is needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits of a specialized hand rehabilitation program supervised by hand surgeons. The outcomes and short-term follow-up of 76 patients with upper extremity injuries were analyzed through patient self-reported parameters as well as objective functional scores. Improvement in all self-assessed parameters during rehabilitation was statistically significant for the DASH (p<0.001) as well as the EQ-5D (p<0.05). Further improvement in the short-term (14 weeks) was only seen for the DASH score (p<0.05). During rehabilitation, there was a statistically significant improvement in all objective measurements. Among patients with finger injuries, 71% were able to return to work. Our specialized hand rehabilitation program provides benefits for all patients. There are differences between types of upper extremity injuries in terms of the effects and necessary treatments., (Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.)
