Does anyone knows of company in #europe that #hire scientists in #endocrine ? Bonus point if they are #remote or in #switzerland. The best person I know working on it is searching for a #job and I’m trying to help her :)
#Endocrine
Initially, the thymus was believed to be an endocrine organ because its removal in early life caused changes in the ovaries and testes. Now, we understand these changes were linked to autoimmunity. 🤔🔬💡
Multiple studies have proven the impact of #endocrine #disruptors, e.g. #phthalates and #parabens, on #thyroid #homeostasis. It was unknown, however, that these effects depend on whether or not the included persons are fasting.
Science Letter: Peri-operative corticosteroid supplementation guideline adherence
Peri-operative corticosteroid supplementation - which patients are 'at risk'?
Those using prednisolone ≥ 7.5 mg or equivalent.
But the supplementation dosage depends on surgical risk.
Have you look at your institutional adherence rates?
Do most clinicians in your institution adhere to the local peri-operative corticosteroid supplementation guidelines?
Do you know what your guidelines recommend?
Recommendations for the peri-operative management of patients taking sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors
Recommendations for the peri-operative management of patients taking glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide

Any #pwME have Thyroid issues?
I may have Hyperthyroidism which is so interesting to me, since Hypothyroidism was ruled out before I was diagnosed with ME/CFS almost 2 decades ago and my thyroid panel was always a little low until very recently.

Wondering what the status of this treaty is, and how much "teeth" it has.
"The most immediate bans or restrictions on single-use plastics, researchers say, should apply to products that are most likely to leak into the environment and cause harm and yet are relatively unnecessary. These include takeaway containers, #ChipBags, balloons, cotton swabs, disposable #ecigarettes and #TeaBags. (A number of environmental organizations including WWF have lists of products that the treaty should prioritize.)"
Finally, a solution to #plastic #pollution that’s not just recycling
Countries are negotiating a new global treaty to drastically reduce the plastic waste that has been poisoning the world.

Jun 7, 2023
"This treaty could be huge. Although it will take months of negotiating for any of the details to become clear, the agreement — set to be finalized by the end of 2024 — will require countries to do far more than just fix their recycling systems. Negotiators will discuss a menu of options including a cap on overall plastic production, bans on certain materials and products including many #SingleUsePlastics, and incentives to grow an industry around reusable items. This treaty could literally transform entire chunks of the global economy.
"As with any global deal, an ambitious agreement will face several roadblocks, some of which have already appeared. Certain countries, such as #SaudiArabia and the #US, for example, are pushing for voluntary terms that would allow them to continue investing in their #petrochemical #industries (plastic is a #petrochemical).
"Then again, the fact that global talks are happening at all is in itself a big deal and reveals a shift in the politics around waste. 'There’s a true willingness to tackle this problem,' said Erin Simon, vice president and head of plastic waste at the #WorldWildlifeFund, a large #environmental group. 'We’ve never seen so much progress.'
[...]
"Certain chemicals used in plastics are especially problematic and could be targeted by bans. Some #FlameRetardants, for example, are linked to #cancers and #endocrine disruption; they can also make plastics hard to recycle. A number of other additives and materials are similarly dangerous to humans or #ecosystems, or they make recycling difficult, such as polyvinyl chloride (#PVC) and various kinds of #PFAS (the so-called forever chemicals).
"The treaty may also ban or restrict a whole bunch of common, problematic products — namely, packaging and other #singleuse items, such as cups and cutlery."

Tracking key biomarkers over time can help detect anomalies that might indicate an athlete's use of prohibited substances. I enjoyed this conversation about biomarkers being used to monitor potential abuse of steroids and growth hormone in sport. Exciting to see continued development in longitudinal tracking with the ABP!

Modern lives are messing up #menstrualcycles—earlier starts, more irregularity
Mean age of first period fell from 12.5 in participants born between 1950-1969 to 11.9 in participants born 2000-2005. Between 1950 -2005, percentage of people obtaining regularity within two years fell from 76.3% to 56%. Authors of study point to environmental factors, #endocrine-disrupting chemicals, metals, air pollutants, dietary patterns, psychosocial stress, adverse childhood experiences.

“ … the plastics industry comprises at least 16,000 chemicals in its various products, more than a quarter of which have been deemed hazardous to human health and the environment. Added chemicals can include highly toxic compounds like #carcinogens, #endocrine disruptors and #neurotoxicants, or chemicals with reproductive effects, such as BPAs, #phthalates, #bisphenols and per- and poly-flouroalkyl substances (#PFAS). “

Neurotoxin fed to a nation in spectacular doses. Time to review the science again. The National Academy of Science committee's 2006 report "Fluoride in Drinking Water" should have started this review and ended fluoridation, but here we are... still.

If transmasculine people taking testosterone experience improvements in their long covid symptoms, and transfeminine people taking estrogen experience the opposite, then the way sex differences in covid presentation are talked about need to include these realities. Sex is a multidimensional phenomenon and the endocrine system is a malleable thing
