A common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke is the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. The exact location of plaque ruptures has previously been unknown, but now researchers at Lund University have mapped this. The research team has also identified an enzyme, a marker, that they hope will help predict who is at risk of having a myocardial infarction or a stroke due to a ruptured atheroscler

Great tits in urban environments have lower levels of stress hormone than those living in woodland habitats. This according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. Certain animals are able to adjust well to environments that have been created or altered by human activity. We live in an age in which urbanisation is proceeding at an ever-faster rate, something that also affects fauna. The gre

With a month to go until the Football World Cup, we ask: how do you build a winning team? Having a coach who has done their emotional homework and is good at establishing psychological security is important. Clearly defined roles and a communicative team can also increase the chances of winning gold, argues Simon Granér, researcher in sports psychology and team performance. The 2022 European Champ

In a unique study carried out in drinking water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if chlorine was omitted from drinking water. The result? An increase in bacteria, of course, but after a while something surprising happened: a harmless predatory bacteria grew in numbers and ate most of the other bacteria. The study suggests that c

We usually associate ageing with a shrinking life span, sickness and death. The difficulty of imagining ourselves as old means that we go to great lengths to avoid planning for later life. Yet researchers argue that we have everything to gain by looking at life as a journey where preparations for the future provide opportunities for living a full life – until it really is over. We are all aware th

Through molecular studies of knee tissue and advanced synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, researchers hope to gain new insights into the early development of osteoarthritis. The hope is to pave the way for new treatments. For almost five years, researchers in Lund have been collecting knee tissue from over 700 people in a biobank. With the support of the Skåne University Hospital Tissue Bank

Despite a widespread and outdated view of older people, and an abundance of stereotypes, awareness of what is known as ageism is limited. A new short guide gives tips for how you can use your communication to counter discrimination against older people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have been highlighting ageism for almost 20 years. Put simply, ageism can be descr

Researchers led by Lund University in Sweden have assisted microbiologists in Ukraine in investigating bacterial resistance among the war-wounded patients treated in hospitals. The results, which were recently published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, reveal that many of the patients were affected by bacteria that exhibited an extremely high level of antibiotic resistance. “I am quite thick-ski

Different species of migrating bird have different genetically programmed procedures that signal when it is time to head off and when it is time to return. It may have to do with factors such as daylight, temperature, weather and the Earth’s magnetic field. These migration programmes have been studied before, but new technology and computational capacity make it possible to process large amounts o

Under två decennierhar forskarna vid Lunds universitets strategiska forskningsområde Stamcellscentrum spänt bågen för att utveckla och förfina stamcellsforskningen med människors förbättrade hälsa i sikte. Nu när 20-årsjubiléet närmar sig är det läge att reflektera över framsteg som gjorts och möjligheter som forskarna ser inom stamcellsforskningen framöver. Stamceller kan göra vilken uppfinnare s

Bostaden är en plats där vi spenderar mycket tid och den har visat sig ha stor betydelse för vår hälsa. Till exempel har forskning visat att boendet är viktigt för livstillfredställelse och välbefinnande för den åldrande befolkningen. Parkinsons sjukdom, som oftast diagnostiseras i 55- till 65 årsåldern, är en av de vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomarna; trots det saknas det kunskap om många bo

Personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, såsom kognitiva sjukdom och personer med Parkinson, går långsammare, tar kortare steg och har en ökad variabilitet i sin gång än kognitivt friska. Detta är några aspekter som berörs i Magnus Lindh-Rengifos avhandlingsarbete. Att gå är alltså mycket mer komplicerat än man kanske tror. Och det finns flera sätt att bedöma gång inom forskningen.

Ny studie visar att svenska förlossningsläkare och gynekologer är påtagligt mer emotionellt stabila och mer samvetsgranna, jämfört med majoriteten av övrig svensk befolkning. Utifrån läkarnas personlighet kan man se hur deras beslutsstilar skiljer sig åt i akuta situationer. Forskningsstudien från Lunds universitet, publiceras i Scientific Reports. Man brukar sammanfatta personligheten i fem egens

Att rekrytera artrospatienter med mycket smärta till kliniska studier, kan ge felaktigt resultat om forskaren inte tar hänsyn till den naturliga smärtvariationen som förekommer. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet uppmärksammar nu fallgroparna i forskningsstudier kring artros och publicerar sina rön som en kommentar i The Lancet Rheumatology.
