MORRISVILLE, N.C., Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Metabolon, Inc., the global leader in providing metabolomics solutions advancing a wide variety of life science research, diagnostic, therapeutic development, and precision medicine applications, today announced receipt of a National Institute of Health (NIH) award to improve the accuracy by which polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can be diagnosed.

Key Points:

PCOS is the most common cause of infertility worldwide, affecting an estimated 8-13% of women of childbearing age.
Current diagnoses typically require pelvic exams and blood tests to obtain a hormone profile, glucose tolerance, and lipid measurements.
This diagnostic algorithm likely misclassifies or outright misses a lot of cases," said Adam Kennedy, Associate Director of Research and Development at Metabolon.
"Metabolon's work in this area will potentially bring PCOS diagnostic guidelines into the 21st century using highly advanced, cutting-edge metabolomics science."

GCA is committed to leveraging its resources to work with the Government and its partners to design, finance, and implement adaptation solutions to sustain this path to prosperity.

Key Points:

GCA is committed to leveraging its resources to work with the Government and its partners to design, finance, and implement adaptation solutions to sustain this path to prosperity.
The Government of Bangladesh spends an estimated US$1.2bn each year to finance adaptation needs.
However, the financing needs identified in the government’s Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan (MCPP) to address the threat of climate change exceed US$8.5bn each year.
Without greater funding climate change will undermine Bangladesh’s strong development trajectory and the poorest will be hardest hit.

The Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP) Country Compacts, announced during the Leaders’ Dialogue on Adaptation , will drive the doubling down and scaling of adaptation action across the world’s most climate-vulnerable continent.
Yet promised climate finance—which is necessary to underpin wider development goals—remains critically short of what is needed.
President Ruto has played a crucial role in the implementation of the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program across the continent and I commend his leadership in hosting the Africa Climate Summit.

Nairobi, Kenya, Sept. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New research from the Global Center on Adaptation released today shows that climate adaptation finance flows to Africa must increase up to ten-fold to over US$100 billion per year by 2035 to build resilience against the growing impacts of climate change.

Key Points:

Nairobi, Kenya, Sept. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New research from the Global Center on Adaptation released today shows that climate adaptation finance flows to Africa must increase up to ten-fold to over US$100 billion per year by 2035 to build resilience against the growing impacts of climate change.
Africa only received USD$11.4 billion in adaptation finance in 2019-2020 and the increase in 2021-2022 is likely to be modest.
At this rate, Africa will receive USD$182 billion by 2035 for climate adaptation, less than one-tenth of the up to USD$1.7 trillion by 2035 the new research estimates it needs.
Adaptation finance must be scaled up dramatically before it is outstripped by accelerating climate impacts which would further widen the adaptation funding gap.
