  2. If you have vision problems and are in #Canada, Fighting Blindness Canada is having a series of in-person Coffee Connections across the country. Each will have an eye doctor who will lead discussions and answer questions about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or an inherited retinal disease (IRD). It also gives you a chance to meet others with the same eye conditions.
    Here are details so you can see if there is one coming up in your area.

  3. Highlight from this week's news:

    The WE&ME Foundation has launched a new call for ME/CFS research (WE&ME Projects) in collaboration with the Science for ME forum.

    They aim to fund 7 projects, each with a budget of €120,000 - 180,000. Researchers from all over the world can apply. The deadline for the first stage is 25 August 2026.

    weandmecfs.org/weme-projects/

    They explicitly welcome applications from researchers new to the ME/CFS field

  5. @neil Haha reminds me of that time in 2007 when the NHS Medical Training Application Service, the entity with the monopoly on doctors applying for specialty training jobs, openly published online personal details, including telephone numbers and sexual orientation, of applicants. I'm given to understand that the firm to whom the job had been contracted was er... rewarded with more government contracts.

    Which is to say, even an account with a second party has a significant possibility of getting contracted out to a third party. Argh!

  6. Hello 👋

    Welcome to the new Mastodon account for the Science for ME forum. Migration to the new server appears to have succeeded and most followers have been transferred.

    Our forum is an independent, patient-led, international forum for people with ME/CFS or Long Covid and the carers, clinicians, scientists and advocates who support us.

    Anyone can read the public posts on the forum but to join the discussion you must become a forum member.

    You can learn more about our forum here:

    s4me.info/threads/welcome.3818

    If you have any questions, just ask! 😁

    But please note that this account is run by volunteers who have ME/CFS so replies may be delayed.

  7. Message for our followers:

    This Mastodon account will migrate to a new server tomorrow (Saturday). We're making this change because the med-mastodon.com server is expected to shut down by the end of the month.

    mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/11615

    The migration process should automatically transfer all of our followers to the new account. But in case of errors our new account can be found here:

    Thanks! ❤️

  8. [5/5] Im Fokus des Beitrags des Instituts für Laboratoriumsmedizin, Klinische Chemie und Pathobiochemie (ILP) der #CharitéBerlin steht die technische Umsetzung der Befüllung der Probenröhrchen und die Aufbereitung der Blutbestandteile. Ziel des Projekts Multipen ist es, die Probenqualität zu verbessern.

  9. [4/5] Im Verbundprojekt „Multipen“ wird ein neuartiges Blutentnahme- und -lagerungssystem für Biobanken und klinische Studien entwickelt. Das Labor für Biofluidmechanik (LfB) des Deutschen Herzzentrums der #CharitéBerlin setzt dabei Wissen und Methoden der Strömungsmechanik ein, um einzelne Funktionselemente zu konzipieren und umzusetzen.

  10. 🥳 Superproud of this bunch: the management team of the CoClarity #RCT. Submitted the trial protocol today.

    CoClarity: A Shared Decision Support Tool to reconsider the use of Anti-Thrombotic Therapy in patients with #cancer in the last phase of life

    ✅ Lower risk of #thrombosis
    🛑 Higher risk of bleeding
    ❓ When to stop?

  11. Adherence to #Guideline Recommendations on Psychotropic #Drug Use for Challenging Behavior in #Dementia

    "...Of all newly started prescriptions, 17% were evaluated within the recommended 7 days after starting..."

  12. 📢 New research alert!

    📝 Our study in #Thrombosis and #Haemostasis explores anticoagulant use in life-limiting diseases

    ➡️ most patients continued therapy until end-of-life with comparable risks of bleeding or clots after stopping.

    ✅ understanding helps to improve quality of life of future patients

    🥳 Kudos to Eva Kempers!

  16. Had a great day 2 days ago at the #Leidse #Ouderengeneeskunde Dagen at the #LUMC: a full day of reflecting on care for older people with 350+ GPs, elderly care physicians, #geriatricians and #nurses.

    And we were lucky to have older people themselves on the front row joining in on our discussions! Thanks to all who participated!

  19. This piece from author Amy Silverstein on the highs and low of being a #heart transplant recipient. Amy is absolutely correct when she calls out the lack of recent progress in the development of newer #immunosuppressive agents, which might have far less in the way of problematic side effects for #patients #MedMastodon #physicians nytimes.com/2023/04/18/opinion
