El Periódico Mediterráneo - General7 September 2026 at 13:00

Leukemia is a group of oncohematological diseases that affect blood cells and, in most cases, originate in the bone marrow, which is the tissue where blood cells are produced. These diseases have been the subject of constant study and research by the medical community.

It is important to note that this is not a single type of cancer, but rather a set of different diseases. Each type of leukemia has its own characteristics and requires specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

The article also addresses the warning symptoms that may indicate the presence of the disease, the different existing types, the available diagnostic methods and the treatments that can be used to fight this pathology.

Wegovy reverses obesity in study with young children

A new clinical study showed that Wegovy, Novo Nordisk's obesity drug based on semaglutide, helped two out of every five young children stop being classified as obese after about a year of treatment. The majority of participants (85%) had severe obesity at the start of the tests, with ages between over 6 and under 12 years. The drug, currently approved only from age 12, was administered in weekly doses of up to 2.4 mg via injection. The results represent a significant advance in the treatment of childhood obesity, suggesting that the drug may be a viable therapeutic option for younger children in the future.
