Immunolin—a PHB Ingredient’s Post

Answer to the question posted few days back- Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN) is also called as Erythroblastosis foetalis. Do you know why?Answer: Continual destruction of red cells in the foetus leads to marked hyperplasia of the bone marrow. As a result, the baby's blood contains many circulating Erythroblasts, thus the name "Erythroblastosis foetalis"#hemolyticdiseaseofthenewborn#HDN#HDFN#Bloodtransfusion

Explore the intricate world of retinal survival. A recent article unveils an unexpected component, the ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), that's crucial for the health of your eyes. This discovery opens doors to potential therapies and a deeper understanding of retinal diseases. 👁️🔬 https://brnw.ch/21wENmJ #EyeHealth #ResearchInsights #Retina #RetinaSpecialist

Thanks for sharing this great article Kate. A few things jump out: 1) There is still a lot of misunderstanding around liver disease, and it's promising to see conditions like metabolic liver disease attracting more attention in the general media. This article explains the issues perfectly! A huge percentage of people with liver disease do not drink alcohol. 2) There is a danger that when we talk about 1 in 3 people having liver disease, policymakers become paralyzed by the scale of the issue. It's important to note that whilst, according to some reports, 30% of us have some degree of excess fat in our livers, not all will progress to cirrhosis, cancer or liver failure. 3) This is an urgent issue that needs addressing now. Liver-related mortality rates are trending in the wrong direction, unlike most other diseases. More people are developing steatotic (fatty) liver disease, and as comorbidities (like type 2 diabetes) become more common, people are getting sicker, quicker. Add to this the advent of new treatments including Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Resmetirom. We think that one of the keys to getting ahead of this Tsunami* (*credit Roger Green) lies in intelligence gathering and deployment. If you can use real-world data to recognize the patterns in those cases that do progress from simple steatosis to advanced disease, we're no longer talking about treating 1 in 3. We can then use a case-finding approach, and historic blood tests to find these high-risk people BEFORE they progress. “The life depends on the liver”. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. #liverdisease #publichealth #FattyLiver p.s. Thanks to New Scientist for yet another great article.

Pilonidal disease, Epsit…..who can explain me the physical phenomenon, with energy diffusion numbers, diameter of the tips, collateral effect, of the laser probes and the Rf probes…..and please explain me the differences from the monopolar ball tip cautery???? E. Kanavos

What is the connection between an aircraft carrier and alpha-synuclein? A very readable and understandable analogy regarding the importance of the protein alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease. https://lnkd.in/eKvESFQc

An interesting discussion on alpha synuclein and reductionist thinking. Widening the aperture some additional things to consider -binding to lipid membranes, do the different forms signal changes in the structure of the membranes? -alpha synuclein is an antimicrobial peptide, how does this action inform the structure of the protein? -Lewy bodies contain iron, how does iron change the structure and aggregation? A Transthyretin drug is mentioned relative to cardiac amyloidosis- iron is implicated in this. That’s a few additional thoughts but there are elements to consider. It’s an interesting read and I like the aircraft carrier analogy.

Understanding Autoimmune Diseases with Compassion Hey there! ��� Ever heard of autoimmune diseases and imagined a complex web of medical terms? Let’s simplify it. Imagine your body’s defense system mistakenly targeting its own cells. That’s the crux of autoimmune diseases. Recently, technology like Immunoblot Strips is helping doctors peek into this mysterious zone more clearly. It’s like having a detailed map in an unknown city. Let’s journey together, understanding and supporting those navigating this path. ��� #AutoimmuneAwareness #HealthTech
