In an adjusted model, #SPINA_GD correlates significantly with type 2 allostatic load. It parallels the association to central markers of thyroid homeostasis, underscoring the TSH-T3 feedforward control.

Ich weiß ja nicht, wer mich vorgeschlagen hat, aber ich bin ab sofort im (ursprünglich 1925 begründeten) Kürschnerschen Deutschen Gelehrtenkalender aufgeführt. Nicht allzu wichtig, aber ganz nett 😅. Ob man aber für die 4 Bände über 1000 € ausgeben möchte...?

Die politischen Rahmenbedingungen der präventiven Medizin sind in Deutschland unzureichend. Zusammen mit anderen Europäischen Ländern ist Deutschland Schlusslicht in der #Prävention. Das führt dazu, dass die Kosten hoch sind, aber die Lebenserwartung niedrig.

Mathematical modelling, computer #simulation, and machine learning upgrade #endocrinology. Applying principles of #biocybernetics and #biophysics, they enjoy growing interest and deliver novel methods for research, diagnosis, and therapy.

#Trndi is a #glucose monitoring application written in #Object_Pascal. It fetches interstitial sugar readings from continuous glucose monitors (CGM) via different APIs and shows them on the desktop. It also presents a trend over time, colouring, and JavaScript extensions.
The #Lazarus_IDE for #Free_Pascal has been updated to version 4.6, fixing bugs and updating localisations.

#MCT8 Deficiency, or Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, is a rare severe disorder of #thyroid hormone transport. In our newest paper, we review the state of the art on pathophysiology, diagnosis & treatment.

Systems modelling explains: A #cybernetic theory of the molecular processes in #COVID-19 predicts oscillatory #inflammation and virus load in severe forms, which result from increased #TMPRSS2 expression.
Severe #COVID-19 is a life-threatening condition, sometimes requiring #ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) therapy. In one of our studies, we found that oscillatory inflammation heralds a poor prognosis.

#Endocrine feedback loops belong to the important foundations of life. However, consistent underlying rules are still lacking. Now, Moriya Raz, Uri Alon, and co-authors describe 5 classes of control circles.

#Takotsubo syndrome is a dangerous stress-related #heart disease. Since #T3 upregulates β-receptors, we assumed a link to #thyroid homeostasis. With machine learning, we identified interesting allostatic patterns.

A new #TRURL app has been released. TRURL B follows the design of the famous calculators created by Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams for the German company Braun.
It implements all fundamental operations plus power, square, square root, and the inverse operation.
There is an ongoing debate in #endocrinology about whether to treat #hypothyroidism with L-T4 alone or a combination therapy with L-T4 and L-T3. But what about patients’ preferences? The majority would choose the combination therapy, as shown in a meta-analysis.
Die Veranstaltung ist am 3. September 2025, 16:30 Uhr bis 19:00 Uhr.
Ort: Hörsaaltrakt der Universitätsklinik St. Josef-Hospital Bochum
