Wenn es um Energiewende, Mobilitätswende, Erneuerung der Landwirtschaft und damit um die Klimatransformation allgemein geht, fällt oft der Begriff "Verzicht". Eine Mehrheit der Menschen ist zwar für mehr Klimaschutz, jedoch ist nur eine Minderheit bereit, etwas am eigenen Lebensstil zu ändern. Die Klimatransformation wird automatisch mit Verzicht und Wohlstandsverlust gleichgesetzt. Doch tatsächlich ist es andersrum: Zu wenig Klimaschutz und die Ignoranz der Klimatransformation führt zu Wohlstandsverlust. Denn kaum jemand stellt die Frage: Auf was müssen wir heute verzichten?

The ASX 200 fell 126 points to 8,505 (-1.5%) today in a dismal start to the week. Thankfully, the banking sector held up relatively well, with CBA posting a 1% rise, while insurers also performed strongly on the back of higher bond yields. The Big Bank Basket rose to $267.83 (+0.3%). Other financials did not fare as well, with MQG falling 2.6%, HUB down 1.1%, and the REIT sector also under pressure, with GMG down 4.0% and CHC off 3.5%.Industrials were weaker across the board, with the healthcare sector hit again.

BHP fell 2.8% and RIO dropped 3.6% as sentiment towards bulk miners deteriorated.Gold miners were also under pressure as bullion prices eased, even while the oil price rose. NST fell 2.4%, while EVN suffered the double whammy of weaker gold and copper prices. Oil and gas stocks were inevitably firmer as crude prices pushed higher. WDS rose 2.9%, while STO gained a similar amount. Uranium stocks slipped again, with PDN down 2.5% and BOE off 3.8%.In corporate news, three major stories stood out. TUA dropped an astonishing 62.8% following issues in Singapore relating to its spectrum licences. ELD also came under pressure, down 22.9%, as higher diesel prices and a messy result hurt sentiment.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.In this Mind Moments episode, Sarah Hoffmann, MD, PhD, senior neurologist at Charité – University Medicine Berlin, provides clinical insight into the evolving and often challenging landscape of seronegative generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Drawing from both clinical experience and research, Hoffmann discusses how seronegative MG is defined in the absence of detectable antibodies and why it represents a heterogeneous and often underrecognized subgroup of patients. The conversation explores key diagnostic challenges, particularly in patients with limb-predominant symptoms, where differentiation from other neuromuscular or functional disorders can be difficult. Hoffmann also reviews current treatment approaches, noting that while standard therapies mirror antibody-positive MG, access to targeted treatments remains limited. Additional discussion focuses on the barriers to advancing clinical trials in this population, the need for reliable biomarkers to better stratify patients, and the importance of continually reassessing diagnosis in nonresponders to avoid both undertreatment and overtreatment.Looking for more neuromuscular discussion? Check out the NeurologyLive® Neuromuscular clinical focus page.Episode Breakdown: 1:15 – Defining seronegative MG and estimating prevalence within overall patient population  2:15 – Diagnostic challenges and distinguishing seronegative MG from mimics and functional disorders  5:35 – Role and limitations of antibody testing, electrophysiology, and pharmacologic response  6:50 – Neurology News Network  9:05 – Current treatment strategies and variability in access to targeted therapies  11:55 – Barriers to clinical trials and need for improved patient stratification methods  13:05 – Key unanswered questions including biomarkers and reassessing diagnosis in nonresponders  The stories featured in this week's Neurology News Minute, which will give you quick updates on the following developments in neurology, are further detailed here: FDA Accepts Zilganersen New Drug Application for Priority Review in Alexander Disease FDA Grants Accelerated Approval to Tividenofusp Alfa for Neurologic Hunter Syndrome FDA Approves Higher Strength, More Effective Nusinersen Dose for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Thanks for listening to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast.
