Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für #Kybernetik, Informations- und #Systemtheorie hat Peter K. Fleissner und mir den Heinz von Foerster-Preis verliehen.

Ich danke meinen Lehrer:innen und Kooperationspartner:innen, die meine Arbeit im Laufe der letzten 30 Jahre möglich gemacht haben.

Einladung zur Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für #Kybernetik im Rahmen der Jahrestagung der Leibniz-Sozietät in Berlin. Es erfolgt eine parallele Life-Übertragung online:

Sadly, John Midgley, a pioneer in #thyroid diagnostics and co-author of multiple papers by our group, passed away. Read Rudolf Hoermann's obituary at The Guardian:

Our newest paper has been published. Based on machine learning with k-medoids #clustering we identified three different signatures of #thyroid #homeostasis that predict the prognosis of patients with #Takotsubo syndrome.

Therefore, the non-increased and, in many cases, even reduced beta cell function in metabolic syndrome may not mirror an "either-or" question but be part of continuous evolution. It may be a source of prediabetes and diabetes but also prevent insulinoma.

The answer to this question may be in glucose toxicity leading to a biphasic response, thereby preventing neoplastic effects of dynamical compensation by mutant takeover.

What is the primary event in the pathogenesis of type 2
#diabetes – dysfunction of pancreatic beta cells or hypersecretion of #insulin? This question is still unsolved and may represent a chicken-and-egg problem.

Simulation des Modells des #Insulin-#Glukose-#Regelkreis​es nach Bolie auf einem #Analogrechner (THE ANALOG THING)

Simulating Bolie's model of insulin-glucose homeostasis with an analog computer (THE ANALOG THING) #theanalogthing

Early diagnosis of #diabetes continues to be a challenge. Recently, we developed a disposition index of insulin-glucose #homeostasis from fasting blood samples. The new parameter is not only less expensive but perhaps even better than established measures. https://doi.org/10.1111/1753-0407.13525

#Thyroid's secretory (#SPINA_GT) is higher in borderline personality disorder (#BPD) compared to controls. Is this a result of dynamical compensation or from sympathetic innervation of the thyroid gland? https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12216702

#Thyroid hormones profoundly affect the heart. This also applies to chronic stress and type 2 allostatic load, where they relay signals from the brain to the heart. Our newest study observed an elevated thyroid output in borderline personality disorder. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12216702
