Objective: In Germany, the rotation into the general practitioner's practice (GPP) as part of postgraduate medical training in general practice traditionally takes place at the end of the training period. The aim of this study was to explore possible subsequent effects of beginning training in the GPP from the perspective of general practitioners (GPs) and GP trainees.
Methods: Nationwide, GPs and GP trainees were recruited who started specialization in GP in the GPP.
Background & Aims: Gut bacterial translocation contributes to immune dysfunction and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in cirrhosis. We hypothesized that exposure of peritoneal macrophages (PMs) to bacterial DNA results in type-I interferon (IFN) production, shaping subsequent immune responses, inflammasome activation, and the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).
Methods: PMs from patients with cirrhosis were stimulated with E.
Introduction: Worldwide, the primary care sector played a key role in coping with the challenges of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
Methods: The aim of this study was to explore the resilience of the German primary healthcare system during the second wave of the pandemic from the perspective of identified interface stakeholders, i.e.
Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) cause long-lasting inflammation in the digestive system, and scientists are looking into how stress inside cells (called ER stress) affects this.
- They found that when cells experience ER stress, the way they use certain nutrients changes, which might affect how severe IBD is and how well treatments work.
- The researchers discovered that not having enough of a nutrient called serine can mess up a signaling system that helps cells fight infections, but giving antioxidants can help improve this issue.
Environmental pollution caused by plastic is a present problem. Polystyrene is a widely used packaging material (e.g.
