The intestines are extremely important for our well-being.
“A fascinating organ,” says Professor Dr.
Hans-Dieter Allescher, head of gastroenterology at the Internal Medicine Center at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic.
“It regulates the immune system, is partly responsible for the body’s water balance and produces hormones and messenger substances, including serotonin, the “happiness hormone”.
GAP - The doctor is a speaker as part of the “Health in Dialogue” event series at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic, which will deal with this “miracle” of our body on Monday, March 18th.
It starts at 6 p.m. in the main street.
Admission is free.
Registration is not required.
March is also “Colon Cancer Month”;
Campaigns around the world are raising awareness of the disease and the fight against it.
Dr.
Stefan Nöldeke, chief physician of vascular surgery and vascular medicine at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic, moderates the event on the topic “The intestine – a fascinating organ: from nutrition to intestinal tumors”.
“We want to get people interested in medicine with our series 'Health in Dialogue', which we want to revive after a break due to Corona,” he says.
His colleague Hans-Dieter Allescher will report on interesting facts and provide information about what's new in therapy and diagnostics in a clear and understandable way.
This also involves, for example, the use of artificial intelligence.
The structure and function will be shown using an “endoscopic journey” through the intestine.
“There are a lot of questions, but we also have a lot of answers,” says Nöldeke.
And what else is planned in the series?
“The topic of men’s health and we will offer a tour of the central emergency room.”
