World's largest study defines optimum time frame for administering anticoagulants.

Researchers at FAU have succeeded in deciphering what causes in some instances life-threatening inflammation of the intestines, possibly opening up new approaches for treatment.

Can neurofeedback therapy offer effective long-term treatment for children with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)? This was the subject of a study carried out by a team of international researchers that included researchers from the Division of Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

On the one hand, oxygen is an essential element required for cells to survive; on the other hand, it also adds fuel to the fire of inflammation. Researchers at the Department of Medicine III have discovered how the body skilfully uses this process to extinguish inflammation.

Researchers at the Department of Medicine 3 have discovered that a fiber-rich diet can have a positive effect on chronic inflammatory joint diseases and strengthen bones.

In November 2015 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) has announced the “Medical Informatics Funding Scheme” (Medizininformatik-Initiative, MI-I) to foster IT innovations for healthcare research and medical care.

The German healthcare system provides little support to patients moving from inpatient to outpatient care. Researchers are currently investigating whether targeted assistance during this transitionary phase can lead to fewer readmissions.

Researchers at the Institute of Biochemistry have successfully overcome drug-resistance in malignant melanoma cells. FAU has now filed a patent application for the new therapeutic approach.

We eat salt every day, sometimes more and sometimes less, but often too much. However, the impact of salt on intestinal bacteria has not been studied up to now. A research team of the Chair of Neurology recently discovered that table salt reduces the number of lactobacilli in the intestinal tract.
