A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r
An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients.

Nordic and Andean countries started their economic modernisation in the same way: with export of raw natural resources. Later on, Norway and Sweden became rich, while Bolivia, Chile and Peru followed a quite different path. What made them diverge from the common road?
