Presenting barriers to some types of therapies may have an intention to save money by wearing down potential referrers/prescribers. Unfortunately, the consequence can be a surrender to older, potentially less helpful approaches. #medsky #graphicmedicine

Teuer, komplex, unzureichend Die strukturelle Krise des deutschen Gesundheitssystems Es gibt diesen Moment, den fast jeder kennt, der in Deutschland ernsthaft krank geworden ist.

"Das ist die eigentliche Diagnose. Nicht Geldmangel, auch nicht böser Wille, oder nicht das Versagen einzelner Akteure. Sondern strukturelle Pfadabhängigkeit in einem System, das zu groß, zu schwer und zu politisch verflochten ist, um sich selbst zu heilen."

Article on plastic waste. Excerpt here; YAWN, NOT MORE ON RECYCLING? Not this time. This is how plastic bottle waste has been used to make levodopa, a main treatment for Parkinson's disease. Scientists at Edinburgh University genetically engineered E coli bacteria to help transform polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into the drug. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT Quite. PET, which is used widely in food and drink packaging, is first broken down into building blocks of terephthalic acid The bacteria transform these into levodopa through a series of biological reactions. SOUNDS LIKE A WIN-WIN? The charity Parkinson's UK says that around 166 000 people have the disease. Those with the condition don't produce enough dopamine because some nerve cells have stopped working. There is no cure, but levodopa can top up dopamine levels, which can improve movement.

Turning plastic waste into useful medicines?

It sounds far fetched but here it is… in the @bmj.com, reported by Jacqui Wise.
