Breast Cancer Screening Errors Probe; Teachers Praised for Mental Health Role; Nobel Prize in Medicine Awarded
The Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating a complaint by the Patient's Defender regarding errors in breast cancer screening since 2012. Meanwhile, teachers are praised for their role in detecting student mental health issues early. In scientific news, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to three researchers for their work on immune tolerance, while Spanish politics sees a standoff between Isabel Díaz Ayuso and the Pedro Sánchez government over conscientious objectors to abortion.
The investigation into breast cancer screening errors began after a complaint was filed by the Patient's Defender. Teachers, on the other hand, are being recognized for their ability to spot mental health problems in students, acting as 'good psychologists' in the classroom.
In the world of science, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi. Their groundbreaking discoveries on peripheral immune tolerance, specifically identifying regulatory T cells, have advanced our understanding and treatment of cancer and improved organ transplantation medicine. Researchers from Barcelona and China have also made significant strides, managing to reverse Alzheimer's in mice.
Politically, Isabel Díaz Ayuso continues her standoff with the Pedro Sánchez government over the registration of conscientious objectors to abortion. Anti-abortion groups have taken advantage of the recent controversy sparked by José Luis Martínez-Almeida to reactivate their campaign against voluntary pregnancy termination. Additionally, AbbVie continues to expand its market in Spain, and Val Díez has been appointed as the new CEO of Stanpa, the national association of perfumery and cosmetics.
