Diabetes researchers have established methods for screening people with an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Current methods require multiple blood samples during each visit. An international team of researchers has developed a simplified screening method, which will increase screening efficiency. Type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment with insulin. People of all

He has designed a transport box that keeps hearts alive outside the body and developed a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device. But during a visit to nuns in Africa, he was suspected of being a spy. Meet Stig Steen, a post-retirement professor of thoracic surgery, who is driven by an unshakeable belief that the greatest things in life are on the other side of the mountain. If Stig Steen had f

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Over the past year, the health service has witnessed an increasing number of patients with long-term effects of Covid-19, including chronic symptoms that suggest POTS. POTS is a condition that causes the pulse to race when you stand up. Until now, too little has been known about POTS as a complication following a Covi

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An

Primitive stoves and diesel engines produce soot particles, besides being bad for your health, have a negative effect on the climate. By affecting the atmosphere’s ability to form cloud droplets and ice particles, soot can dislodge the radiation balance.
