#WorldCancerDay #prevention #earlydetection #equity #healthcare A wish: talk to one person today about cancer and its early detection (exams, tests) and prevention (HPV vaccine, no smoking, no/few alcohol, sports, and nutrition). Thank you! Family members and friends died too early because of cancer; gladly some have survived but live with lifelong consequences. Our loved ones need our support to make healthy decisions to prevent and detect early. I did the research for my doctoral degree in #anthropology about breast cancer and the health politics of early detection in Austria and Brazil in the 2000s. Numbers in Austria are increasing, but people are not undergoing the FREE yearly detection exams and tests in an amount that we would see any decrease, any better survival. Certain lifestyle decisions but also working and living conditions influence cancer diagnosis - let′s stand together and improve our health literacy and help others to access healthcare. Equity in health is also a topic here, access and understanding of diagnosis is crucial for early detection and treatment. Medical anthropology has done a lot of research on patient′s journeys worldwide. I put some readings in the comments. https://lnkd.in/dHqHqmRQ https://lnkd.in/dZ4yUYGh https://lnkd.in/dWNeXB8p (Austria) https://tjcc.com.br/ (Brazil) https://lnkd.in/d7VZEeEp (Deutschland) Schon fast historisch: https://lnkd.in/gzXEdpH3 SOLAR PLEXUS - Gestalter*innen der Gesundheitszukunft

?? Reflecting on a most inspiring Symposium in Münster - our Multiple Sclerosis and related disorders 2014 - Past, present, future ?? As the curtains close on the recent symposium of the CRC TR128 in Münster, it’s time to look back and appreciate the profound discussions and groundbreaking insights shared over the past few days.? Hosted in the historic city of Münster, this event not only gathered distinguished speakers and international authorities and experts in the field of Multiple Sclerosis but also fostered an environment ripe for innovative ideas and collaborative spirit. ?? Highlights from the Symposium: 1) MS and Beyond: what have we learned, what is to be expected Speakers:? Heinz Wiendl Frauke Zipp Jonathan Kipnis Roland Liblau Britta Engelhardt Burkhard Becher 2) Understanding progression and repair: myelin in the focus Martin Kerschensteiner Tanja Kuhlmann Peter Calabresi Manuel Friese 3) Imaging in the Focus Vinzenz Fleischer Benedetta Bodoni Alexander Flügel Albrecht Stroh 4) Novel directions and technologies Alexandre Prat Tobias Bopp Gerd Meyer zu H?rste Jen Gommerman Sergio Baranzini 5) Is there still a role for T cells in neuroimmunology, or should we prioritise B-cells? Jan Lünemann Fabienne Brillot Daniele Latorre Edgar Meinl 6) Learning pathogenesis via therapeutic intervention Thomas Korn Ari Waisman Luisa Klotz Naoto Kawakami Nicholas Schwab And the young investigators:? Lisa Richter, Louisa Müller-Miny, Timo Uphaus, Clara de la Rosa del Val, Andreas Schulte-Mecklenbeck, Beatrice Wasser ?? Addressing Unmet Needs: A central theme of our discussions was the critical unmet needs in MS management, particularly: (I) Early and accurate diagnostic, prognostic and disease monitoring markers. (II) Understanding and managing disease progression independent of relapse activity. (III) Enhanced strategies for patient-specific treatment approaches. This symposium not only reinforced the need for continued research and collaboration but also highlighted the incredible potential for innovation in treating and understanding Multiple Sclerosis, also for many other fields. A heartfelt thank you to all the organizers, speakers, and attendees for making this event a treasure trove of knowledge and a beacon of hope for future breakthroughs in MS and related diseases research. #MultipleSclerosis #MünsterSymposium #MedicalResearch #InnovationInHealthcare #CRC TR128

Does maternal obesity have an impact on the health of the offspring? Using animal models, a team from the UNIGE and the HUG have shown how obesity alters the mother's microbiota. This altered microbiota is passed on to her offspring, who then see their risk of cancer or liver disease rise to 80%, compared with 20% in individuals born to healthy mothers. These results, obtained in mice ??, need to be confirmed in humans. They are a warning signal and a call for action to limit the deleterious effect of obesity on children. This work was directed by Christian Toso, professor at the Faculté de médecine - UNIGE and senior physician at the HUG - H?pitaux Universitaires de Genève, and Beat Moeckli, post-doctoral student at the Faculté de médecine - UNIGE and head of clinic at the HUG - H?pitaux Universitaires de Genève.

?? "It is time to expand the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) agenda to ensure that no thyroid patient is left behind", says Prof. Dr. Leonidas Duntas, Endocrinologist, Evgenidion Hospital, University of Athens. In 2018, the NCDs agenda expanded to a 5x5 approach with 5 major NCDs (cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and neurological disorders). Now, it should be expanded once again: recognizing thyroid diseases as important NCDs would ensure: ?? inclusion of thyroid conditions in policy agendas ?? increased awareness to prevent thyroid disorders and complications ??more equitable access to screening ??timely diagnosis and care ??data collection, research, and funding. *https://ncdalliance.org #ITAW #ITAW2024 #thyroid #hypothyroid #hyperthyroid #screening #gravesdisease #TED #hashimotosdisease #thyroidcancer #endocrinology

May is #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth, a time dedicated to supporting, educating, and amplifying the voices of the brain tumor community. At Rhythm, we are advancing research in #hypothalamic obesity – a rare, acquired form of severe #obesity that occurs following structural damage to the hypothalamic region of the brain, most commonly due to a brain tumor or its treatment. This area contains the MC4R pathway, which is responsible for controlling hunger and weight regulation. Learn more about our focus on rare MC4R pathway diseases: https://lnkd.in/eT5yBhvf

Cancer is increasingly becoming a critical concern among people under the age of 50, marking a shift in the demographic typically associated with this devastating disease. This rising trend is not only alarming but also poses significant challenges and new questions within the medical community.

This article by Dr. Shalya Anand et al on the ‘Necessity and?influencing factors for?integrating oral health in?cancer care for?older people: a?narrative review ‘ highlights three important aspects of cancer management. One is an #integrated approach to cancer management. An interdisciplinary coordination for improved outcomes in cancer management. Two, the importance of early #detection of cancers based on risk factors. Third, drawing special attention to #geriatric healthcare services. The elderly have special needs in fulfilling healthy living. Health systems must recognize these needs and design appropriate solutions. I have recently lost a close family friend to oral cancer. An elderly uncle. The article highlights some of the practical aspects of diagnosis, management, and interdisciplinary coordination that are important to note. #integratedmanagement #earlydetection #geriatriccare #oralcancer Please read the article if you are a public health, geriatric, or cancer management practitioner.
