Die Deutsche Krankenhausgesellschaft (DKG) hat den Klinik-Transparenz-Atlas von Bundesgesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach (SPD), der am Freitag offiziell vorgestellt und frei geschaltet werden soll, als irreführend und überflüssig kritisiert. „Es gibt keinen Bereich im Gesundheitswesen, der in der Qualität so transparent ist, wie die Krankenhäuser“, sagte DKG-Chef Gerald Gaß dem „Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland“.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nuvalent, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating precisely targeted therapies for clinically proven kinase targets in cancer, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted breakthrough therapy designation (BTD) to NVL-655 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with two or more ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month. Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition that occurs in around one per cent of the world’s population. It is triggered by the consumption of gluten proteins from wheat, barley, rye and some oats. A gluten-free diet protects celiac patients from severe intestinal damage. Together with colleagues, chemist Dr Verónica Dodero from Bielefeld University was able to determine new details on how certain gluten-derived molecules trigger leaky gut syndrome in celiac disease. The key finding of the study: a particular protein fragment formed in active celiac disease forms nanosized structures, the so-called oligomers, and accumulates in a gut epithelial cell model. The technical name of the molecule is 33-mer deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP). The study team has now discovered that the presence of DGP oligomers may open the tightly closed gut lining, leading to…
La 8e conférence de l’Initiative multilatérale sur le paludisme (MIM) qui s’est tenue du 21 au 27 avril à Kigali au Rwanda a permis de saluer les succès de ce pays d’Afrique centrale dans la lutte contre cette maladie.En effet, les chiffres du Centre biomédical du Rwanda (RBC) montrent qu’en 2016, jusqu’à cinq millions de personnes dans le pays avaient contracté le paludisme, soit 400 personnes sur 1.000. Parmi ces personnes, 17.000 personnes sont tombées gravement malades et 560 sont décédées. Mais sept ans plus tard, en 2023, seuls 550.000 cas de paludisme ont été enregistrés. Ce qui représente une réduction de l’ordre de 90%. Tandis que les décès dus à la maladie sont tombés à 51, soit une réduction de 91 %. Les cas graves quant à eux sont tombés à 1.300.
