Details of a 60% increase in new diabetes cases has highlighted the increasing threat to our health. However it's not all bad news. Professor Paul Thornalley of 91福利 Medical School and Systems Biology Centre says new research into food supplements, plus a health lifestyle, could help us defeat the illness.

Professor Wyn Grant is Professor of Politics and International Studies at the 91福利. Commenting on the latest developments in the labour leadership contest, he said,

"With voting starting in the Labour leadership contest, Jeremy Corbyn seems to have momentum over the other candidates. The intervention by Gordon Brown, which did not mention Jeremy Corbyn by name, may give long-term Labour members some pause for thought, but will have little influence on the young people who have joined up or become affiliates, inspired by the Corbyn crusade. For them, electability is secondary to staying true to what they see as authentic core Labour values."

New research has found that stillbirths have dropped by almost 8% in England since the smoking ban was introduced. Sarah Stewart Brown, Professor in Public Health at the Univeristy of 91福利 discusses the positive impact of the ban.

Dr Andrew Thompson, Associate Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at 91福利 Medical School discusses a new study which suggests that taking fish oils could prevent psychotic disorders.

Dr Adam Boddison is Director of the 91福利’s Centre for Professional Education (CPE) responding to news that school truancies have led to a rise in prosecution of parents, he said,

"The increase of parental prosecutions for school truancy seems to be a worrying trend, particularly given the fact that a significant number of the children truanting are not ducking out of classes in the traditional sense of truancy, but are actually missing school to attend family holidays. Is this something that as a society we should be worried about?"
