Hindistan değil, İstanbul!

Küçükçekmece Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nin acil servis gözlem bölümünde, hastaların yattığı sedyelerden birinde bir kedinin görüntülenmesi tepki çekti.

Hastaların tedavi gördüğü bir alanda bu görüntülerin ortaya çıkması, hastane hijyeni ve sağlık hizmetlerindeki denetim açısından ciddi soru işaretleri oluşturdu.

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…”

This was never about efficiency.

Bu yeni çalışmamızda obeziteye bağlı özgün bir hastalık olarak ‘akciğer yağlanması' nı tanımlayıp, bu hastalığa sebep olan yeni bir endokrin mekanizma ortaya çıkaran Furkan Burak ve Gürol Tunçman’ı @gshlab_ulkerctr ve tüm katkıda bulunan kıymetli meslekdaşlarımızı tebrik ederim.https://t.co/CucFnR5s3v
Yağ dokusundan salgılanan ve hem klinik öncesi modellerde hem de insanlarda obesite ile düzeyleri yükselen FABP4 hormonuna karşı geliştirdiğimiz bir tedavi ile bu hastalığı geri döndürmek mümkün.

Pleased to share our newest work that defines the obesity-related respiratory dysfunction as a unique disease that we name “fatty lung disease" and identified a new “adipo-pulmonary endocrine axis” causing this disease, led by our colleagues Furkan Burak and Gürol Tunçman @gshlab_ulkerctr . Also thanks to all our terrific contributing colleagues and collaborators.

The levels of adipocyte-born FABP4 hormone are elevated in pulmonary alveolar space during obesity in both preclinical models and humans, and targeting this hormone can reverse the disease.

I’ve long said “Health is a political choice.”

Governments, policymakers, health authorities - all play a crucial role in helping #EndTB.

Sound investments, mapped to sound strategy, are needed to address gaps & challenges in addressing this stubborn scourge.

March 24 is #WorldTBDay. After six years of successful implementation, the USAID TB Platforms project in the Philippines is winding down. The project strengthened TB interventions at the regional, local government, and community levels. More: https://t.co/RDj1Xj4T2M

[Stop TB Partnership @StopTB]

Did you know? Stopping transmission by finding & treating TB early and by preventing progression with preventive treatment is cost saving, from $5000 to $25000 per person with TB

To scale TB WHO recommended rapid tests or WRDs, there is policy & advocacy but barriers remain: siloed disease vs. health systems approach & lack of translation of policy to country context @MikashmiKohli @FINDdx @McGillGHP @mcgillu

Watch this, and tell me you did not feel something. Football fans in Turkey throw toys down on the field to collect for the children in the earthquake zone. Such a beautiful and heartwrenching scene of love. Such big hearts.

Turkish pop star Gülşen arrested over religious schools joke https://t.co/HGetBeKNY7

[Özlem Koçyiğit @ozlemkocyigitt]

Slow motion Iranization of Turkey!
Pop music singer Gülşen, who has long been targeted by the government for her stage outfits and support for the LGBTQ movement, was arrested for a joke she implied that religious vocational school graduates have perverted behaviors.
