Blood grouping system: 📌Karl Landsteiner in the year 1901 discovered the ABO blood grouping system.This paved the way for the discovery of various RBC antigens present on the surface of the RBC. Decades later in the year 1930 he recieved Nobel prize for his discovery in the field of medicine. 📌Though multiple blood grouping systems are available, most commonly practiced blood grouping system is ABO and RH system. 📌In ABO blood grouping system, based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens , individuals are classified as A , B ,AB and O blood group 📌Everytime when you donate your blood grouping is done and If you have any doubts regarding the blood group , we would clarify. #bloodgrouping #transfusionmedicine #blooddonation

🩸 The Dual Benefit: Managing High Iron & Boosting Athletic Performance through Blood Donation 🏃♂️🏋️♀️ #drcarlocopeta BHS Biohacking Swiss ProPerformance GmbH #zurich Intro Blood donation: more than a generous act! It’s a health hack for those with high iron and athletes seeking performance boosts. 🌟 High Iron & Hemochromatosis Dealing with too much iron? Hemochromatosis can lead to serious health issues. But there’s a simple fix: regular blood donations! 💉 Blood Donation: Iron Level Balancer Donating blood helps remove excess iron (about 200-250 mg per session). It’s a safe way to keep your iron levels just right. ✔️ Athletes & Blood Donation Athletes, listen up! While blood doping is a big no-no, 🚫 donating blood might have some hidden perks. After donating, your body works overtime to replenish blood cells, potentially leading to a better oxygen transport system. 🏊♂️🚴♀️ The Science Post-donation, your body triggers an increase in red blood cell production. This could mean improved oxygen delivery to muscles after recovery. 💪 📝 Note to Athletes If you’re considering blood donation, plan it carefully! Right after donating, you might feel a dip in performance. Hydrate and choose off-season periods for donations. 📅💧 Conclusion For those with high iron, blood donation is a health-saver. And for athletes, it’s an interesting area to explore. Always a win-win: helping yourself and others! 🌍❤️ - - - - - - - #BloodDonationBenefits #HighIronSolutions #HemochromatosisAwareness #AthleteHealth #SportsScience #HealthyLiving #WellnessJourney #FitnessMotivation #EnduranceTraining #EPOBoost #BloodHealth #IronOverload #DonationMatters #LifeSaving #CommunityHealth #HealthAwareness #ActiveLifestyle #RunnersLife #CyclingLife #GymLife #StrengthTraining #BloodWorks #MedicalFacts #HumanBiology #HealthAndWellness #PhysicalFitness #SportsPerformance #TrainingTips

Congratulations to our UniTrento DISI researcher Eleonora M. Aiello on being funded for the project "𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝟭𝗗" by the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust’s (Helmsley) Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Program. 👏 The goal of the call was to fund projects aimed at helping people with Type 1 Diabetes safely incorporate exercise into their daily lives. The aim of the project is to design and validate an algorithm for automated insulin delivery that is specific for different types of exercise. It involves the clinical validation of the developed algorithm, and its integration within the FDA-cleared Tidepool Loop algorithm, currently on the market. 🏥 The project will last 3 years. It is coordinated by the University of California, Santa Barbara and includes researchers from Stanford University, Tidepool, as well as Università di Trento which is the only Italian University involved. Eleonora will work on 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. The idea is to design an algorithm that allows you to modify the overall regulation of insulin requirements for a specific duration in the case of a specific physical activity. 💡 #type1diabetes #automatedinsulindelivery #insulin #insulindelivery #insulinrequirements #algorithm #tidepoolloopapp #research #unitrento #unitrentoDISI

The National Cancer Strategy states that 90% of patients who receive radiotherapy should commence it within 15 days of being ready to treat. Last year only 6/10 patients began their radiotherapy treatment on time, compared to 8/10 people in 2018. Time and time again we have called on government to increase capacity and infrastructure to deliver the radiation therapy and care Irish patients deserve. More and more people are being diagnosed with cancer every year in Ireland. We need commitment from government to invest in long term solutions to meet future demand, including increasing radiation therapy university places. Review of radiation therapy staffing recommends 'urgent action' on vacancies (irishexaminer.com)

New research out today from the University of Otago reveals how young people access vapes in Aotearoa, and exposes serious gaps in NZ's current policy. https://lnkd.in/gNc8Ctng The study calls for "upstream policy measures that reduce the widespread availability and appeal of vaping products". Thank you Professor Janet Hoek, Drs Jude Ball and Michaela Petti, Katie Frost and Anna Demello and all those who took part in this research. It provides evidence to support our concerns that not enough is being done to limit access and appeal of vapes for young people.

Let's take a look at your fundraising dollars at work! With your support we are able to fund research totaling $100K this cycle. Each investigator team will begin their projects July 1st and we are extremely optimistic about what their projects findings could mean for our community a year from now. It is our honor to announce T2RF Research Grant Cycle 4 awardees, Dr. Lina Gonzalez and her collaborators from the Netherlands Drs. Barbara Bakker and Ody Sibon who are being awarded a T2RF multi-institution award in the amount of $50,000. Dr. Gonzalez and her colleagues' project entitled “Investigating CoA imbalance, vitamin B5's role, and metabolomics in TANGO2 deficiency disorder will focus on measuring the level of CoA in TDD cells and fruit flies affected with TDD. This will help determine if there is indeed CoA deficiency or if certain CoA metabolites are in abundance while others are depleted. Furthermore, they will examine the levels of various molecules (metabolites) within the TDD cells that may be abnormal and study the impact of vitamin B5, if any, on these metabolites. This comprehensive approach will shed light on which pathways are most affected by TANGO2 and guide them in identifying the most promising therapeutic options for treating TDD. #TANGO2RESEARCHFOUNDATION #TANGO2Disease #RareDiseaseCommunity

Rare diseases are a group of conditions that society needs to be more aware of, and the only way to achieve this is by sharing more information. Despite being labeled 'rare,' these diseases are part of our daily lives, and even raising general awareness is a step forward. By studying rare diseases, we can create a better physical and social environment for those affected and their surroundings, fostering our understanding and ultimately improving their lives. #SMA #SMAawarenessmonth #SpinalMuscularAtrophyAwarenessMonth #RareDiseases

The JDRF Kansas & Missouri Chapter Dream Gala is just 1 week away! Some would say raise your goal when you hit it. Which we could, but I want you to know why his goal is 606. 606 was Hunter’s blood glucose when he was diagnosed with T1D on 12/31/2014, dangerously and critically high (in-range 70-140.) Signs were masked initially because he tested positive for flu just 10 days prior. Weight loss, fatigue initially and then super thirsty and frequent urination. In 10 short years we know so much more and technology has helped, making the 24/7/365 management a bit less intrusive. JDRF funded research has been a key driver for those advances including the ability to screen for autoantibodies and take a therapy that delays onset. Yes, we hit our goal and appreciate your additional support as we drive for more breakthrough advances on our path to cures.
