Obwohl viele Patienten an Polyneuropathie leiden, weiß man derzeit relativ wenig über ihre Entstehung, was auch die therapeutischen Möglichkeiten begrenzt. Bislang ist bekannt, dass Entzündungsprozesse zu anderen diabetischen Komplikationen wie Herzinfarkt oder Schlaganfall beitragen. Ziel dieser neuen Studie war daher die umfangreiche Analyse von Biomarkern, die Entzündungsprozesse als Risikofaktor für die sogenannte distale sensorische Polyneuropathie charakterisieren. Dabei wurden sowohl Menschen mit Typ-2-Diabetes als auch Menschen in der älteren Allgemeinbevölkerung untersucht.

Fueled by unease and uncertainty about the growing scope of threats to security and privacy that come with an always-on, tech-driven world, people are now looking for ways to disconnect and are placing greater emphasis on values and human interaction.
