Reduced heart rate variability linked to higher mortality in people with diabetes

Disruption to normal variations in daily heart rate (HR) is associated with a much higher risk of dying in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over 21 years, according to new research to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Madrid (9-13 Sept).

Study shows reciprocal relationship between asthma and type 2 diabetes

Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more likely to develop asthma – and vice versa, according to an analysis of data on 17 million people being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain (9-13 September).

Cell-free RNA analysis enhances early detection of pediatric inflammatory conditions

RNA is expelled from cells via cell death or active release, and can then find its way into blood plasma. A Cornell University-led collaboration has developed machine learning models that use these cell-free molecular RNA dregs to diagnose pediatric inflammatory conditions that are difficult to differentiate.
