In accord, regular exercise is linked with a lower risk of cancer. Purpose To assess the effects of a 16-week home-based strength...

Background Paediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rare syndromes of monogenic multi-organ autoimmunity share basic features such as full insulin dependency and the presence of circulating beta-cell autoantibodies. However, the aetiopathogenesis, natural course and treatment of these conditions differ; therefore, monogenic multi-organ autoimmunity req...
