Short summary
A nationwide study presented at the EASD annual meeting in Milan reports that cancer incidence has risen more among people with type 2 diabetes than among those without diabetes over 25 years, largely driven by obesity-related cancers, according to Medical Xpress. A study led by Eino Solje and Anna Mäki-Petäjä-Leinonen found 90% of people with dementia reported no burden from participating in research, Medical Xpress reports. Medical Xpress also reports new pathways identified for pain and depressive symptoms in fibromyalgia, an AI tool that drafts tumor digital twins in minutes, a recall of W
