In nur vier Tagen ist es wieder soweit – die Zeitumstellung steht an! Jede Zelle in unserem Körper hat ihre eigene kleine Uhr, die im eigenen Rhythmus tickt. Bei der Umstellung muss das Gehirn diese „Zell-Uhren“ mit der Außenwelt neu synchronisieren. 
Um euch den Wechsel zu erleichtern, hat unser Chronobiologie-Experte Prof. Achim Kramer von der #CharitéBerlin vier hilfreiche Tipps parat.
Rare, but potentially fatal: #WhipplesDisease is a bacterial infection that requires prompt antibiotic treatment. Currently, guidelines recommend infusions in the hospital. But as a #CharitéBerlin study now shows, taking tablets at home is just as effective.

Selten, aber potenziell tödlich: Morbus #Whipple ist eine bakterielle Infektion, die schnell mit Antibiotika behandelt werden muss. Empfohlen werden bisher Infusionen in der Klinik. Eine #CharitéBerlin-Studie zeigt nun: Das geht auch mit Tabletten zuhause.

Use of #AI decreases with increasing age.
#AI offers a lot of promises also in care for older people
#AI is not tailored to needs of older people
We have work to do

“What we've shown in this paper is that the epithelial cells can communicate with the macrophages,"… "Our hypothesis is that their cross talk potentially provides an environment that's conducive to the development of the disease."

[5/5] Auch im Projekt AngioSAT, an der #CharitéBerlin geleitet von PD Dr. Nils Hecht, werden zusammen mit dem Start-up MyoPax spezielle Muskelstammzellen entwickelt & untersucht. Ziel ist die Schlaganfallprävention. Die neu entwickelten Zellen werden in einen Muskel im Schläfenbereich injiziert, wo sie das Wachstum von Blutgefäßen anregen. Damit wird die Durchblutung im Gehirn verbessert – was helfen könnte, Schlaganfällen vorzubeugen.
[3/5] Für die Isolierung der Zellen wird im Projekt Nanosonde eine Drahtsonde der Firma INVICOL genutzt, welche die im Blutstrom zirkulierenden Tumorzellen binden soll. Das Labor für Biofluidmechanik unter der Leitung von PD Dr. Ulrich Kertzscher entwickelt eine innovative Nanostrukturierung der Metalloberfläche der Sonde, die dadurch blutzellabweisende Eigenschaften aufweisen soll. Das verbessert die Spezifität der Tumorzellsonde.
[1/5] Auch in diesem Jahr sind an der #CharitéBerlin wieder neue Projekte gestartet, die Forschung und direkte klinische Anwendbarkeit verbinden - kofinanziert aus Mitteln des Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (#EFRE). Drei davon stellen wir heute vor.
Social problems can make you ill. This is why #SocialPrescribing was developed. Researchers led by #CharitéBerlin are now investigating whether help such as anti-stress courses or job counselling provided in GP practices contribute to better health.
#Ontario is seeing a big surge in measles mostly among unvaccinated people. 372 total cases (including 7 pregnant people) and 31 hospitalizations.
The #measles #vaccine has a long track record of being safe, and of preventing disease (breakthrough infections are rare). It's a great way to avoid getting sick in the first place. I mean, who wants to get even a little bit sick?

Researchers from #CharitéBerlin and @MDC_Berlin have detailed the precise mechanism through which the inflammatory messenger IL-12 contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The study was published in Nature Aging.
Wie ein Entzündungsbotenstoff #Alzheimer anfeuert: Interleukin-12 trägt ursächlich dazu bei, dass sich die neurodegenerative Erkrankung verschlimmert. Auf welche Weise das geschieht und was dagegen helfen könnte, schreiben Forschende der #CharitéBerlin, des @MDC_Berlin und weiterer Partner in Nature Aging.
I can’t get over the cognitive dissonance of spending 12 hours of intense work in clinic, using every minute of my 25 years of training and experience to formulate treatment plans for my patients with #cancer, and then to come home and check the news and to read about every part of the infrastructure needed to attain the knowledge for these treatment plans bring intentionally dismantled

"The cure for TB—roughly half a year on antibiotics—has existed since the 1950s, and works for most patients. Yet, in the decades since, more than 100 million people have died of tuberculosis because the drugs are not widely available in….

Any #science #endocrinology #doctor types or knowledgeable patients out there?
Have some questions before I spend money I don’t have re #DHEA & #pregnenolone.:
I’m trying to find a good compounding chemist in #Melbourne #Ausralia to compound DHEA (it’s illegal in Aus to buy off the shelf, need compounding prescription & permit- got both).
BUT! I’m getting confused by the chemists. Some say I must get a DHEA troche or a capsule will convert straight to #estrogen or #testosterone, no chance to tap DHEA receptors (unsure if they exist). I’ve also read it modulated other receptors before being metabolised.Wouldn’t I be better off w a cream in that case? Other compounders say there’s no difference. BS?
I thought #pregnenolone
might help more. It’s the ‘mother hormone’, right?
Since I caught #COVID19 I’m mostly producing low hormones but it varies. Cortisol normalised, still on thyroid meds, oestrogen shot up, no DHEA or testosterone…plus much more going on.
