Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease. ‟This is a major breakthrough. I believe this blood test can be used clinically in only a few years”, says Oskar Hansson, professor of neuro

Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis

Ungefär var femte typ 1-diabetiker och cirka var tionde med typ 2-diabetes som behandlas med insulin uppger att de har svårt att känna igen symtomen när blodsockret faller alltför lågt. Med modern diabetesbehandling har risken för blodsockerfall minskat men för många är insulinkänningarna och rädslan för detta en del av vardagen. Det finns flera vanliga orsaker till blodsockerfall.

Historiskt sett har stressreaktionen varit nödvändig för människan för att överleva, till exempel vid en rovdjursattack. I vårt moderna samhälle är sådana attacker ovanliga. Betydligt vanligare är den icke akuta och långvariga stressen som kan skada oss och öka risken för bland annat diabetes och hjärt- kärlsjukdomar. Stressreaktionen innebär ökad utsöndring av hormoner, framför allt adrenalin, no
