Uppmaningen kommer från forskare i Australien som har gjort precis det i Western Australia, en delstat med drygt två och en halv miljon invånare. Alla skulle tjäna på en allmän MODY-screening. Samhället skulle spara pengar och för den enskilde individen, som får en korrekt diagnos, slipper insulinbehandling och klarar sig med tabletter eller ingen behandling alls, är fördelarna självklart mycket s

The recent extreme wildfires in Turkey show us that the current last-minute fire suppression policies are not only costly for the government, but also insufficient to respond to disastrous, extreme wildfires. Heatwaves and dry summer seasons have turned the Mediterranean basin into a global wildfire hotspot. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, wildfires raged across all of the Mediterranean, with dev

Med hjälp av lipidomik, en teknik som mäter blodfetternas sammansättning på molekylnivå, och maskininlärning, har forskare vid Lunds universitet identifierat en blodfettsprofil som förbättrar möjligheten att flera år i förväg bedöma risken för att insjukna i typ 2-diabetes. Blodfettsprofilen kan även kopplas till viss kost och graden av fysisk aktivitet. Céline Fernandez, docent Lunds universitet.
