Mathematical modelling to fight malaria: Researchers have created a mathematical model to predict genetic resistance to antimalarial drugs in Africa to manage one of the biggest threats to global malarial control. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites and spread to humans through infected mosquitos. It is preventable and curable, yet resistance to current […]

BSPD advises GDP members to discuss immunisation following polio virus detection: Recent reports of the detection of the polio virus in sewage samples in London have promoted the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) to issue a note to members. The Society’s advice is to highlight the evidence-based risk, explain this to families in the context […]

It is essential to assess the severity of multiple sclerosis (MS) in order to choose appropriate therapeutic measures, but this cannot be reliably done using existing methods. A MedUni Vienna study now shows for the first time that the retina can be used as a prognostic marker. Analyses revealed that retinal layer thinning as a […]

Junk food advertising restrictions prevent almost 100,000 obesity cases and is expected to save the NHS £200m. Restrictions on advertising of junk food on TfL networks had the biggest health impact on people from deprived areas. Restrictions for junk food advertising on Transport for London (TfL) networks have prevented almost 100,000 obesity cases and is […]
