Executive summary Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterised by the inability of the organism to autonomously regulate the blood glucose level due to insulin deficiency (Type 1) combined with insulin resistance (Type 2), thus leading to serious health damages and very high personal and enormous social costs. It affects millions of patients in Europe and the rest of the world, a number expected to increase significantly in the coming years. From onset of Type 1 and during late progression of Type 2 diabetes, treatment is based on insulin. Tight control of blood glucose concentration is needed to prevent short and long term health complications. In spite of continuous improvements in insulin preparations, delivery devices and monitoring of blood glucose, insulin therapy remains one of the most difficult therapies to manage. This is because treatment outcome strongly depends on the patient’s skill in making daily decisions about insulin delivery. Availability of a device empowering the patients to make the most adequate decisions can potentially contribute to better treatment outcomes, reduced complications and health costs. Against this background, the DIAdvisor1 project has developed a personalised on-the-spot handheld blood glucose predicting and treatment advisory system, utilising minimally invasive sensors registering physical information, mathematical models for prediction of short-term blood glucose levels and calculating treatment advices. Testing of the DIAdvisor prototype in a short term feasibility trial has demonstrated that blood glucose predictions, more than 40 minutes ahead and advises of high quality, are achievable. Furthermore, a randomized control clinical trial including 57patients has demonstrated that time spent in debilitating hypoglycaemia can be reduced by about 40%, time spent in normal blood glucose range can be increased by about 8% and time spent in hyperglycaemia inducing long term complications can be reduced by about 9%. Extending the treatment improvements found in the latter DIAdvisor clinical trial to longer periods, the effect of providing BG prediction and advice can be translated to overall better blood glucose control leading to better treatment outcomes, potential reduced complications and eventual higher quality of life and lower health costs. 1 The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) under grant agreement n° 216592. 3 of 39 2.

Summary Description of Project Context, Objectives and Outcome 3.1 Diabetes mellitus – a global health problem Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterised by the inability of the organism to regulate autonomously the blood glucose level due to insulin deficiency or resistance, thus leading to serious health damages and very high personal and enormous social costs. It affects currently 366 million patients worldwide and is expected to affect around 552 millions by 20302. A study3 performed in eight European countries reported that in 1999, around €29 billion were spent in these countries for direct medical costs related to diabetes, i.e. a yearly estimated cost of €2.834 per patient. Of note, 55% of these expenses were due to hospitalisations related to diabetes. Moreover, the CODEIRE study4 performed in Ireland reported that a diabetic patient affected by microvascular or macrovascular complications was responsible for a cost 1.8 or 2.9 times that of a non-complicated patient, respectively. Average cost related to a patient affected by both types of complications reached 3.8 times that of a non-complicated patient. From the beginning of Type 1 diabetes or during disease progression of Type 2 diabetes, treatment happens to be based essentially on insulin delivery. Large intervention trials performed in EU5 and US6 showed how tight control avoiding hyperglycaemia, could prevent long term complications, but also reported the associated risk of induced hypoglycaemia that underscores the crucial need of exact and timely insulin dosage. Insulin therapy is vital for patients affected by Type 1 diabetes, essential for blood glucose control and prevention of complications in many Type 2 diabetic patients and extremely, valuable for non- diabetic patients in critical situations that impair physiological glucose homeostasis like intensive care. However, in spite of continuous improvements in insulin preparations (insulin analogues), insulin delivery devices (user-friendly insulin pens, wearable pumps) and monitoring of blood glucose (capillary blood glucose measurements, glucose sensors for continuous monitoring), insulin therapy remains one of the most difficult therapies to manage. While treatment targets become narrower to mimic normal glucose variations, fine-tuning of insulin delivery requires an increased availability of data on blood glucose and multiple factors that influence insulin effectiveness. Moreover, slight deviations of blood glucose out of aimed target range (normal7 blood glucose level) have a quick and dangerous impact on patient status (hypoglycaemia), and long term impact on health outcome8 (hyperglycaemia). Because sustained hyperglycaemia is associated with severe long-term outcomes (retinopathy,

Hus 4, Plan 0 Add to that, none of these tools and libraries support representing data from AMOSII which is a main memory object-relational database system developed by Uppsala Postadress: Database Laboratory (UDBL). Box 536 751 21 Uppsala We thought it will be interesting to have a tool that can display the result of an Telefon: AMOSQL query graphically (e.g. Chart) that will help the viewer to better understand 018 – 471 30 03 the result of the query. It will also serve the purpose of aiding the teaching staff in the Telefax: University to better formulate course assignments for related courses. 018 – 471 30 00 Our work will certainly aid the faculty members and other students who may be interested in continuing through this project and make it an extensive library which Hemsida: can represent data results from AMOSII queries as other types of charts. http://www.teknat.uu.se/student Through this project we have developed a java library that can take the result of any AMOSQL query and display the results graphically in six different types of charts (graphs).

  • Mcafee Labs Threats Report May 2015 Mcafee Labs Saw Almost Twice the Number of Ransomware Samples in Q1 Than in Any Other Quarter
    Report McAfee Labs Threats Report May 2015 McAfee Labs saw almost twice the number of ransomware samples in Q1 than in any other quarter. About McAfee Labs Introduction McAfee Labs is one of the world’s leading sources for threat This Threats Report marks the first time that we explore research, threat intelligence, and cybersecurity thought firmware-based attacks. In our lead Key Topic, we leadership. With data from millions of sensors across key provide new details about malware from a secretive threats vectors—file, web, message, and network—McAfee outfit calledthe Equation Group. This threat is capable Labs delivers real-time threat intelligence, critical analysis, of reprogramming hard disk drive firmware. Our analysis and expert thinking to improve protection and reduce risks. shows the reprogrammed firmware can reload associated malware each time the infected system boots and that McAfee is now part of Intel Security. it persists even if the hard drive is reformatted or the operating system is reinstalled. We suspect this type of www.mcafee.com/us/mcafee-labs.aspx threat will be a hot topic at Black Hat and DefCon this year. Follow McAfee Labs We also focus on two familiar faces—ransomware and Adobe Flash exploits—because McAfee Labs saw massive increases in new samples this quarter from both types of threat. For ransomware, we attribute much of its growth to a new, hard-to-detect ransomware family—CTB-Locker— and its use of an “affiliate” program to quickly flood the market with phishing campaigns, leading to CTB-Locker infections. And for the rise in Flash exploits, we attribute those to the growing number of Flash instances across many platforms (most notably mobile devices), the number of known, unpatched vulnerabilities, and the difficulty in detecting some Flash-based exploits.
