Zehn Risikofaktoren verursachen 90 Prozent der Schlaganfälle

Zum Welttag des Gehirns am 22. Juli 2017 betont Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. mult. Michael Brainin von der Donau-Universität Krems die Bedeutung der Schlaganfallprävention
Um das Bewusstsein für die Gefahren durch Schlaganfälle zu schärfen, steht der diesjährige Welttag des Gehirns ganz im Zeichen der Aufklärung über Präventions- und Therapie-Optionen. Schlaganfall gilt als die Epidemie des 21. Jahrhunderts: Alle zwei Sekunden erleidet irgendwo auf der Welt ein Mensch einen Schlaganfall, jedes Jahr sterben sechs Millionen Betroffene an den Folgen.

Center for Geriatric Medcine and Geriatric Nursing

The demography issue poses a major challenge on the health system and health care professions. The Center for Geriatric Medicine and Geriatric Nursing contributes to continuing education through offering postgraduate courses and research activities in the relevant fields. The cooperation between the “Haus der Barmherzigkeit Group”, the “Akademie für Altersforschung” (Academy for Age Research) and the implementation of the center in the facilities located in Seeböckgasse 30A, 1160 Vienna as a branch of Danube University aims to ensure the linking of interdisciplinarity and practical relevance which special emphasis is placed on.

Center for Health Sciences and Medicine

Center for Experimental Medicine

The Center for Experimental Medicine aims at unraveling the biological principles of regeneration and degeneration. Stem cell research holds tremendous promise for potential medical treatments in order to counteract degeneration to modulate inflammation associated with tissue destruction or even to regenerate damaged organs. The identification of molecular keys for the conversion of stem cells into lineage specific cells of tissues and organs, knowledge on specific bioactive substances for stem cell communication as well as relevant biophysical stimuli for stem cell integration into niches are fundamental to application of stem cells.
