Polyneuropathy is one of the most common complications in people with diabetes. First symptoms are often pins-and-needles sensations in the feet. Although polyneuropathy is present in about 30 percent of people with diabetes, it often remains undiagnosed. Scientists have now been able to show for the first time that six biomarkers of inflammation indicate the risk of polyneuropathy.
A recent study suggests that weather patterns that lead to flash floods may one day be tracked and anticipated by our smartphones.
A study has quantified emissions coming from radio frequency sources, and by means of personal and spot measurements has analysed which levels of exposure children find themselves in.
Scientists have created a new method of particle tracking based on machine learning that is far more accurate and provides better automation than techniques currently in use.
In an ongoing campaign to tamp down the growth of once-flourishing cryptocurrencies it sees as a threat, the Chinese government has ordered more than a half dozen online news outlets to shut down and banned physical venues from hosting crypto-related events.

A new study has found an effective way to cryopreserve — preservation by cooling to very low temperature — and subsequently transplant ovaries of the multicolored Asian ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis.
Fresh garlic extracts contain a variety of healthy organosulfur compounds, among which ajoene forms a major oil-extractable ingredient. Now, chemists have synthesized ajoene from readily available components for the first time. The results show that ajoene is accessible on a large scale with very few synthetic steps. Chemical synthesis of biologically active compounds is important for their further evaluation in medicinal research.
An international research group has completed testing a new drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The drug is effective in patients with moderate to severe forms of the disease who have shown an inadequate response to conventional disease modifying drugs.
The timing and size of three deadly earthquakes that struck Italy in 2016 may have been pre-determined, according to new research that could improve future earthquake forecasts.
