More accurate way of checking blood flow in type 2 diabetes

Aston University scientists have discovered a more accurate way of checking the blood flow in the feet of patients with type 2 diabetes. Using lasers, their findings have resulted in improved accuracy in detecting tiny changes in microcirculation – the smallest vessels within the circulatory system. Changes in flow at this level can affect whether […]

Teachers strikes: Fear of disruption to patient care

Health leaders are encouraging patients with scheduled appointments to let the NHS know if the teachers strikes mean they can no longer attend. The waves of industrial action involving the ambulance workers, physiotherapists and nurses has led to huge disruption across the NHS. At least 88,000 appointments have already needed to be postponed this winter […]

Low-grade inflammation may cause arterial stiffness in healthy adolescents

Early vascular damage and atherosclerosis in adolescents may be caused by low-grade inflammation, a paper published in the Journal of Applied Physiology concludes. The study was conducted in collaboration between the University of British Columbia in Canada, the University of Bristol in the UK, the University of Exeter in the UK, the University of Illinois […]
