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.

#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.
