Extreme exercise and longevity: detrimental or beneficial? bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/… In a retrospective study of the 1st 200 athletes to run < 4 minute miles, there was evidence of several (~5) years longer lifespan compared with the general population. Still an unsettled question,…
#ARVO is the largest worldwide gathering of specialists in #ophthalmology. IOR Tübingen has more than 30 presentations. This confirms our worldwide position as one of the most important research institutes in ophthalmology 💪👁️ @TueNeuroCampus @uni_tue 👉bit.ly/3QiXipn
#RETFound The first-in-the-world AI foundation model for ophthalmology. Really excited about all the opportunities that will arise from this. Always keep an eye on @pearsekeane and team, the best is yet to come 👍 nature.com/articles/s4158…
It’s almost hard to comprehend the impact this will have…. for all of humanity…

To residents starting today: Enjoy! I began #ophthalmology residency 25 years ago (7/1/1997) & never imagined it would be so amazing. 50% of what you learn will become obsolete in your career. Make sure to learn how the standard of care evolves … through #research. #MedTwitter

Great work led by Angela and Aparna - Loss of CFH transcription in RPE cells causes retinal degeneration in retinal explant model. Well done everyone! mdpi.com/1342018 #mdpibiomolecules via @Biomol_MDPI @DocDaveAM #complementbiology
This. Not only relevant in the US.
How refreshing it is to see 2 leading genomics experts publish this important commentary. To understand the uniqueness of each person, we need to know well beyond their DNA data. By @markmccarthyoxf and @ewanbirney 🙏 nature.com/articles/d4158… @Nature
Island: 80% der Bevölkerung geimpft, >99% der 70+ Personen geimpft. Trotzdem klingt dort gerade die bisher größte Welle ab (Delta). Diesmal aber: Kein einziger Covid19 Toter. Ein Beispiel von vielen das zeigt, welchen Unterschied die Impfung bei der Sterblichkeit macht.
"Im Herbst wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit sich zu infizieren wohl so hoch liegen wie noch nie zuvor in dieser Pandemie. Genau deswegen sollte man sich jetzt zügig um einen Impftermin bemühen. Die Betonung liegt auf jetzt." zeit.de/gesundheit/202…
Congratulations to Angela and Tiziana! It was a pleasure to contribute 👍 mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/1… #amd #macula #ophthalmology #complement #inflammation
