In my practice as a doctor in an orthopedic clinic the most common problem that I meet is osteoporosis. It is the main reason for fractures after certain age. With increasing of life expectancy rises the number of osteoporotic fractures. Nowadays osteoporosis is one of the most widespread reasons for hospital treatment, operations, complications and through its complications, such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonias and postoperative infections, it is also a widespread reason of lethal endings.
The reason for osteoporosis is considered to be the hormonal change in the organism which comes after certain age by all women and men, the vitamin D deficiency and calcium malnutrition.

In Search of The Perfect Sleep Aid

 For many years, modern medicine has been searching for the perfect sleeping pills. Sleeping pills are a special topic in medicine because they have a lot to do with addiction medicine. Of course, not every sleeping pill can cause addiction, but lighter sleeping pills such as valerian tablets, doxylamine succinate (contained in Schlafsterne), melatonin (or Circadin) have short and insufficient effects. Benzodiazepines, on the other hand, relieve anxiety, which often leads to sleep disorders and are often used by GPs as sleeping pills, although this is not correct. Antidepressants such as mirtazapine are more often used as sleeping pills, but patients often complain of fatigue and drowsiness after their use, which is incompatible with driving, for example. Z-drugs are the 3rd choice of sleep medicine, they have a long and sufficient effect, but can be very addictive. There are patients who struggle for years with addiction to zolpidem, or zopiclone.

New Look on Antihypertensive Therapy

  Angiotensin converting enzyme 2   Angiotensin converting enzyme 2, or ACE2, is an exopeptidase expressed primarily by vascular endothelial cells in the heart and kidneys, but also in respiratory epithelia[1] and in the gastrointestinal tract. It is the target of several coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. 2 Biochemistry ACE2 is a transmembrane metallocarboxypeptidase composed of 805 amino acids. Zinc and chloride ions act as cofactors. The extracellular region consists of two domains, a zinc metallopeptidase domain and a C-terminal collectrin homology domain. The enzyme exhibits homology to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). ACE2 is encoded by the ACE2 gene on the X chromosome (gene locus Xp22.2). In addition to being expressed as a transmembrane protein, a soluble form exists in serum. 3 Function ACE2 cleaves angiotensin II into angiotensin (1-7), which has anti-inflammatory and lung protective effects via MAS and AT2 receptors. 4 Clinical ...
