Insulin at 100: a life-saving discovery but more remains to be done. 2021 marks the centenary of the discovery of insulin. It is important to remind ourselves that this life-saving medication still remains beyond the reach of many people with diabetes who need it. The International Diabetes Federation is leading a three-year World Diabetes Day […]

Biased referral patterns show male physicians refer more patients to male surgeons than female surgeons: Australian and Canadian researchers have shown that male physicians disproportionately refer patients to male surgeons over similarly qualified and experienced female surgeons. The study, Sex Differences in Surgeon Referrals, published today in JAMA Surgery, found the differences in referral volumes and types could not […]

Safe and effective – wound healing preparation reaches clinical phase II: APO-2 (Aposec) is a secretome-based trial preparation derived from stressed peripheral blood mononuclear cells. APO-2 was shown to be safe and effective in a multinational Phase I study in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (non-healing foot ulcers). The Data Safety Monitoring Board has therefore […]

Magic bullet treatment targets leukaemia: Researchers have made a huge leap forward in finding a targeted therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia. The innovative ‘magic bullet’ technique uses specific antibody-targeting technology that would reduce the need for current treatments that can be arduous, invasive and require long hospital admissions. Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) generally affects older people with around three thousand people diagnosed per year in the UK alone. Current treatments can involve the use […]

Most children and adolescents with cancer have mild COVID-19 disease and make a full recovery, a new study has found. But paediatric cancer patients with underlying health conditions, severe infections and low white blood cell counts were significantly more likely to have severe disease. The study, led by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI), Peter MacCallum Cancer […]
