    The study clearly shows that it is possible to achieve an immunological antibody memory with mucosal vaccination and that the memory cells that are created in connection with this type of vaccination are unique and cannot be achieved through traditional vaccination methods.

    The study shows that children who have had their thymus gland removed as infants have a greatly altered immune system at 18 years of age. This can be compared to how it normally appears at 65-70 years of age.

    New treatment combination effective in individuals with complex type 2 diabetes

    A new combination of drugs can help individuals with complex type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar levels, reducing their weight and use fewer insulin doses. This is shown in a study published in The British Medical Journal.Individuals with type 2 diabetes who are treated with basal and mealtime insulin injections have few treatment options if their blood glucose is increased, other than increasing insulin doses. This often leads to a downward spiral with increased weight, which can have a negative effect on blood glucose. In this study Swedish researchers have evaluated the effect of

    Diabetes medication could be used to treat alcohol dependence

    A new study on mice and rats at Sahlgrenska Academy shows that a medication used for diabetes and obesity also could be a valuable tool for the treatment of alcohol dependence.Alcohol dependence causes morbidity as well as mortality and is major health problem in today’s society. The costs for alcohol dependence in Sweden are estimated to be around SEK 45 billion per year. Nearly 5 percent of the adult population in Sweden have been diagnosed with alcohol dependence, which corresponds to approximately 300 000 people. Even more Swedes have harmful alcohol consumption. Indeed, approximately

    Insulin pump reduces mortality from cardiovascular disease by almost 50%

    People with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pump therapy face almost 50% less risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than those who take insulin by multiple daily injections. The British Medical Journal has published a study conducted at Sahlgrenska Academy.Based on the Swedish National Diabetes Register, researchers monitored 18,168 Swedes with type 1 diabetes from 2005 to 2012. While 2,441 of the subjects used insulin pump therapy, the others relied on multiple daily injections. The study found that insulin pump users had a substantially lower risk of dying of cardiovascular disease

    Mortality rates higher among people with diabetes whose socioeconomic status is low

    Low income and educational level almost triples the risk that people with type 1 diabetes will die of cerebral infarction. A doctoral thesis at Sahlgrenska Academy also showed the conclusion that type diabetes 1 is declining among young people to be unfounded.Approximately 400,000 Swedes have diabetes, and type 1 diabetes is the second most common chronic disease among children and young adults. Newer studies have suggested that 15-34 year-olds are developing type 1 diabetes at a slower rate than previously. A recent doctoral thesis at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg,

    The most effective surgical procedure for extreme obesity should usually be avoided

    Based on five-year follow-up of patients in a randomized clinical trial, researchers have concluded that gastric bypass is the preferred treatment for extreme obesity despite the fact that it is not as effective in reducing body weight as the so-called duodenal switch.The outcomes, which appear in the current issue of JAMA Surgery, show that duodenal switch leads to substantially better weight reduction. But at the same time, the method is associated with a higher risk of complications. "There has not been any consensus about the recommended surgical procedure for patients with BMI

    Special Diet Reduces Stomach Problems for Diabetes Patients

    Many diabetes patients suffer from symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite. A doctoral thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy shows that a diet consisting of foods that fall apart easily, for example boiled potatoes and fish gratin, can help alleviate the condition.About 35 per cent of all diabetes patients suffer from gastroparesis, which is a medical condition where the stomach is partly paralysed. As a result of the paralysis, food remains in the stomach for a longer time than normal. Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, have now shown that

    Huge falls in diabetes mortality in UK and Canada since mid-1990s

    Both the UK and Canada have experienced huge falls in diabetes-related mortality since the mid-1990s, with the result that the gap in mortality risk between those with and without diabetes has narrowed substantially. The findings are in new research published in Diabetologia, the Journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and written by Dr Marcus Lind, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden and colleagues.A previous review of studied investigated diabetes mortality suggested that having diabetes increased a person’s mortality risk by 80%

    Permanent stress can cause type 2 diabetes in men

    Men who reported permanent stress have a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than men who reported no stress. This is the finding of a 35-year prospective follow-up study of 7,500 men in Gothenburg, Sweden.Since the 1970s, a large population based cohort study has been undertaken at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg to monitor the health of men born in Gothenburg between 1915 and 1925. Using this unique material, researchers are now able to show that permanent stress significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. Of the total sample, 6,828 men

    New Technique Can Give Diabetics the Chance to Scuba Dive

    A tiny needle in subcutaneous fat keeps track of glucose levels. The data are transmitted wirelessly to a monitor or directly to an insulin pump. An alarm then goes off if glucose levels are too high or low. Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy have evaluated a method that can make it less risky for diabetics to scuba dive.An estimated 100,000 recreational scuba divers around the world have diabetes. But low glucose levels under water can lead to erroneous decisions or even unconsciousness. Given that scuba divers always have buddies, the risk extends to a second person as well. Norway,

    Considerably More Patients May Benefit from Effective Antidiabetic Drug

    The antidiabetic drug metformin is not prescribed for patients with reduced kidney function because the risk of adverse effects has been regarded as unacceptably high. A study at Sahlgrenska Academy, Sweden, has found that the risks have been substantially overrated. As a result, many more patients with diabetes may be able to enjoy the benefits of the medication.Type 2 diabetes, a very common condition, is increasingly prevalent around the world. Keeping diabetes under control and preventing complications requires not only lifestyle changes, but drug therapy to reduce blood glucose levels.
