Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit Medical Campus of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Research themes place emphasis on common diseases, particularly blood disorders, cancer, iron metabolism disorders, chronic pain, diseases associated with aging, and AIDS. In 2018 more than 110 scientists from across the world work on these eight research themes: Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit The Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit (MMPU) is an alliance between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Medical Faculty of the University of Heidelberg. Its primary aim is to uncover the molecular basis of disease and to speed the transformation of biomedical discoveries into personalized medicine strategies. Founded in
Intensive care medicine Dahl Kvittingen from Norway. He died in 2007. The first surgical ICU was established in Baltimore. In 1962, in the University of Pittsburgh, the first Critical Care Residency was established in the United States. In 1970, the Society of Critical Care Medicine was formed. Intensive care medicine Intensive care medicine, or critical care medicine, is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions that may require sophisticated life support and monitoring. Patients requiring intensive care may require support for instability (hypertension/hypotension), airway or respiratory compromise (such as ventilator support), acute renal failure, potentially lethal cardiac
