  2. Hi! Time for an updated #introduction!

    I'm Matteo — a geriatrician and researcher.
    Professor of Geriatrics (on leave) at the University of Milan, now at WHO working on healthy #ageing and care for older people.

    My research focuses on #Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity, and on preventing the disabling cascade.

    Working in #Geriatrics, #PublicHealth, or #aging research? Say "Hi!" and let me know what are you working on👇

  3. Check out HealthyPi6, an open-source hardware and software vital sign monitor, based on RaspberryPi and ESP32.

    It combines research-quality ECG, PPG, respiration, and temperature monitoring with extensive modular expansion, all in a portable, open-source platform.

  4. 💡 A genuine surprise: The active ingredient in #Viagra, sildenafil, helps treat a rare genetic disorder! This unexpected finding has now been uncovered by researchers at #CharitéBerlin. The drug showed positive effects on the course of the disease in six patients with #Leigh syndrome. More on the promising results:

  5. "Idk, I think it's less about empathy or compassion, and more about making sure the (hopefully small) group of uncaring people who enter medicine or allied health professions are incentivised to act pro-socially.
    Like, in your region, what studying conditions and working conditions are clinicians expected to tolerate? Do they receive a living wage throughout study and work? Is their livelihood for a single person or big enough they can build a household?

    Do they feel comfortable being a whistleblower when something goes wrong? (Numbers-wise, mistakes will happen over time.)
    How robust is the inspection or regulation? How flexible are the logistics of each sector?
    How many crises at once can be weathered without change to patient care? How long will it take to build back up that 'extra' capacity / contingency margin?

    Who (in what position, in which teams) is responsible (or in what order) for noticing angels of death? What about anyone with less final but still harmful motives?

    How severe are the consequences for failure? How many people feel compelled to hide errors rather than remedy them? What options for remediation are accessible to all staff, including contractors?"

  6. 🧠 Hohe Wirksamkeit, wenig Nebeneffekte: Eine neuartige Zelltherapie, entwickelt von Forschenden der #CharitéBerlin, soll eine schwere Form der autoimmunen Gehirnentzündung künftig behandelbar machen. Dank Unterstützung der #EKFStiftung kann sie nun die letzte Hürde zur klinischen Studie nehmen. 👇

  7. On a mission to cure #HIV: Prof. Christian Gaebler, an HIV researcher at #CharitéBerlin and @bih_charite, aims to find out why the immune systems of some people with HIV can keep the virus in check themselves – and wants to devise new treatments based on the results. He has now received an #ERC Starting Grant for his work. Congratulations! 👏

  8. 🚨 A new study finds that children who survive firearm injuries face significantly greater risks of hospitalization and emergency and outpatient visits in the year after injury versus their non-injured peers.

    Ending child gun injuries could save $62.9 million in health costs, the study authors conclude.

  9. Circumcision in HIV-infected men and its effect on HIV transmission to female partners in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised controlled trial

    RCT of #circumcision stopped because of futility. Circumcision does not prevent male-to-female HIV transmission

  10. Pretty awkward that the #AAP has a policy on Female Genital Mutilation! I guess we should be skeptical of the AAP.

    The more urologists fight to defend forced circumcision, the more they repeat harmful tropes and devalue consent and autonomy.

    He calls himself sex positive, but you can't be sex positive while also policing the feelings of boys and men about their own bodies. It's just toxic masculinity.

  11. Popular discussion of the harm caused by guns focuses on deaths, overlooking non-fatal injuries. But for every kid in the U.S. who dies from a shooting, 2 more are treated for bodily harm.

  12. More evidence for AAV-2 as cause for severe acute hepatitis of unknown etiology in children

    > AAV-2–reactive antibodies and evidence of AAV-2 helper virus infection are associated with pediatric severe acute hepatitis of unknown etiology.

  13. Improving treatment of #MS: An international consortium headed by #CharitéBerlin plans to develop an #AI-supported online platform that can predict the course of multiple sclerosis on an individual basis to make it easier to identify the best treatment for specific patients. @IHI 🇪🇺 is providing almost 10 million euros to support the project.

  14. The COCARETTE was a cigarette made with coca & tobacco leaves, c.1885. The company claimed that coca was “the finest nerve tonic and exhilarator ever discovered.”

  15. If you're #scicurious but aren't in a scientific field, feel free to reach out and ask about peer reviewed studies and trusted references.

    Remember: Toot responsibly!

  16. So you're putting in a PICC, and you check the post-insertion film and this is what you find

    What would you do? (Poll in next toot)

  17. I hear in 2024 the College Board will be offering Advanced Placement for Anatomy & Physiology. I would like to hear y'all's opinions on the pros and cons of offering dual enrollment versus Advanced Placement A&P.

    For context: My school currently offers a two semester dual credit A&P course, and a one semester Advanced Physiology course, which is not articulated.

    What is best for students? For teachers? For society? Thanks.

  18. Ah yes. #MedMastodon has landed. Please be better about how you chatter about #disability this time around. Our common enemy is the #MedicalIndustrialComplex and #Capitalism. Maybe this time we can organize together instead of yall making fun of us while we're dying.

    *if you need a history lesson you can look up the absolute clown act that was the #PatientsAreDickheads response to #DoctorsAreDickheads
