Researchers estimate that around 1.99 million deaths per year worldwide are attributable to ultrafine particles smaller than 100 nanometers – with around half of these due to cardiovascular disease.
Detecting genetic mutations associated with lung cancer via laboratory tests can be expensive and time-consuming, and use up valuable tissue from small biopsy samples. A new approach aims to fix this.
A new digital therapy platform, for use on mobile devices or computers, aims to help carers looking after people with dementia, reducing anxiety and depression levels.
The presence of certain bacteria in the gut microbiota, and fluctuations in a person’s metabolism, have been identified as potential biomarkers for type 2 diabetes years before its onset.
