Abstract

Autophagy meaning ‘self-eating’ in Greek, is a large-scale mechanism of intracellular degradation that seeks to maintain homeostasis in cells of all eukaryotes, from yeast to humans. Over the past several decades, autophagy research has actively proceeded both at home and abroad. As a result, studies have reported the physiological role of autophagy in different organs of mammals and of the role that impairment of its activation plays in the development of age-related diseases, abnormal glucose–lipid metabolism, and neurodegenerative disorders. Currently, new therapies targeting the regulation of activation of autophagy are anticipated, and research is continuing. In recent years, the role of autophagy in the kidneys has gradually been elucidated, and reports are indicating an association between autophagy and the development of various kidney diseases. This paper reviews the molecular mechanisms regulating autophagy and discusses new findings from autophagy research on the kidney and issues that have yet to be resolved.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?
