ISC - International Student Congress

International Student Congress | Medical University of Graz, Austria | ISC 2023: June 8th - 10th❗️ So save the date and join us!

We are proud to announce that from the 16th to the 18th of June 2022 the 8th international student congress (ISC) in Graz, Austria is going to take place. We take on the challenge of bring together researchers and students from many disciplines of biological sciences to talk about their most recent findings, share experiences and make new connections. The core components of the Medical University of Graz are high standard training and education, research at an international level and continuous improvement of top quality medicine. A group of medical students therefore had the idea to organize a three day long congress for students and young scientists. Seize the chance to present and discuss your first research study on a poster, plenary or oral presentation. There is the possibillity to take an active part in different workshops and attend keynote lectures. Moreover, you can start networking with colleagues from all over the World and enjoy the evenings with different social programs.

🌊 MEDICAL MONDAY – The Science Behind Cold Exposure ❄️

Before we dive into this week’s topic – a quick announcement:
The 11th International Student Congress starts THIS WEEK!
We’re beyond excited to welcome you all to Graz for a week full of science, connection, inspiration, and innovation.
Let’s make it unforgettable!

⸻

Now onto today’s topic…

You’ve probably seen it all over your feed: people plunging into icy water claiming massive health benefits. But what’s the science behind the cold exposure trend?

🧠 What actually happens?

Cold exposure activates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing levels of norepinephrine – linked to alertness, focus, and mood enhancement.

It also appears to lower inflammatory markers (like IL-6 and TNF-alpha) and may support immune balance, stress resilience, and mental clarity.

🔬 What does research say?
• A 2021 Cell Reports Medicine study found cold exposure can influence immune cell function and reduce low-grade inflammation.
• Athletes use it to reduce muscle soreness, but data on long-term performance effects is mixed.
• Early studies suggest it may help with depression, anxiety, and even autoimmune conditions.

⚠️ A quick word of caution:

Cold plunges aren’t for everyone. People with heart conditions or high blood pressure should talk to a doctor first.

Conclusion: It’s not magic — but with the right context, cold exposure may have real physiological benefits. And at the very least, it’ll wake you up faster than coffee.

🧊 Have you tried it? Would you? Share your thoughts or tag a friend who swears by ice baths!

📅 See you this week at the ISC – and right here in two weeks for the next Medical Monday!

🌟 MEDICAL MONDAY – The Vaccine That Prevents Cancer 🌟

Hey future doctors! 🩺

Let’s talk about one of the greatest public health success stories in the making:
the HPV vaccine — and its role in potentially eliminating cervical cancer.

🔬 Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types is the main cause of cervical cancer, and also contributes to a**l, pe**le, and oropharyngeal cancers.

✅ The gamechanger?
The HPV vaccine (e.g. Gardasil 9) can prevent over 90% of HPV-related cancers when administered before exposure. Countries with high vaccination rates, like Australia and the UK, are already seeing dramatic drops in precancerous lesions and HPV prevalence.

📈 The WHO’s goal:
Eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem by 2120. Some experts say we might get there much sooner if we reach higher global coverage.

💡 For med students, this is a powerful reminder:
Prevention saves lives. And vaccines aren’t just about infectious diseases — they’re about stopping cancer before it starts.

🗣️ Have you talked to patients or peers about the HPV vaccine? What barriers do you see to better vaccine uptake?

📚 Want to learn more? Check out the WHO’s global cervical cancer elimination strategy.

📅 See you in two weeks for another Medical Monday!

🌟 MEDICAL MONDAY – The Rise of AI in Radiology 🌟

Hey future doctors and researchers!

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword – it’s becoming an everyday tool in clinical diagnostics, especially in radiology.

🧠 AI algorithms are now able to detect abnormalities in imaging studies like X-rays, CTs, and MRIs with accuracy levels comparable to radiologists in certain tasks.
In fact, AI is already being used in hospitals to:
✅ Detect lung nodules early
✅ Flag critical brain hemorrhages
✅ Speed up triage in emergency settings
✅ Support early cancer detection

💡 One key advantage? AI never gets tired – it works consistently and can a**lyze thousands of scans in a fraction of the time. But don’t worry, it’s not here to replace doctors – it’s here to enhance them.

A recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health showed that AI-supported diagnostics improved detection rates and reduced workload, especially in resource-limited settings.

📚 Curious to dive deeper? Search for tools like CheXNet, Aidoc, or Google Health’s mammography model – they’re already shaping the future.

💭 What are your thoughts on AI in diagnostics? Helpful co-pilot or overhyped tech? Let us know!

📅 See you next time for another Medical Monday.
