A simpler method of analysing blood samples for Alzheimer’s disease has been tested in a large multicentre study, led by Lund University in Sweden. “This is a major step in bringing simple blood tests for Alzheimer’s disease into the healthcare system globally,” say the researchers behind the study. In brief:The blood-based marker (P-tau217) may start to change several years before the onset of Al

Patients suffering from myocardial infarction who receive early add-on lipid-lowering medication have a significantly better prognosis than those who receive add-on treatment late, or not all. Based on the results of a study from Lund University in Sweden, many new heart attacks, strokes and deaths could be prevented. Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of death worldwide, and m

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in Immunity, could pave the way for more precise and personalised cancer immunotherapies. The team has taken an important step toward harnessing the immune system to fight cancer. Their work describes how

Almost half of all dementia cases can be attributed to risk factors that we potentially can influence ourselves, such as smoking and high blood pressure. A new study from Lund University shows which risk factors are associated with two of our most common causes of dementia – Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. During our lifetime, the risk of developing dementia is influenced by aspects tha

There were fewer cases of breast cancer between two screening rounds, and of the cancers that did develop, fewer were advanced or aggressive. The final results from Lund University's MASAI trial are now available, and they show further benefits of AI-supported breast cancer screening. The study has already shown that AI support in mammography screening contributes to a 29 percent increase in detec

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the F

The owlet, little over three weeks old, squints slightly as Hannah Watson lays it on its back in a plastic container that once held vanilla ice cream. It seems quite happy there. Things get a little trickier when the owlet is to be measured, weighed and swabbed for bacterial samples from both front and behind. Finally

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The students are not satisfied with the University's system for quality assurance of education. "It does not maintain the high and even quality that we would like", says Ella Sjöbeck, vice president of LUS, the umbrella organisation for Lund University's students' unions. At issue is the national review of the quality

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The idea of publishing research findings in open access journals is in many ways an asset in the research community. Unfortunately, it has also entailed the emergence of many unprofessional agents on the market. Their only purpose is to trick researchers into giving them money. Not only does a successful researcher ne

I en observationsstudie från Lunds universitet är resultaten tydliga: fram till två års ålder ser en mer fiberrik mat ut att minska risken för celiaki, glutenintolerans. Särskilt tydlig koppling sågs när barn hade ätit fiberrik mat före ett års ålder. – Det är första gången förekomsten av celiaki studeras utifrån fibrer i barns kost. Men nu behövs även klinisk prövning för att eventuellt kunna slå

Vårdbedömning via chattfunktion är ett sätt för vårdcentraler att effektivisera vården, men det innebär ett helt nytt arbetssätt att medicinskt bedöma patienter. En studie vid Lunds universitet visar att sjuksköterskor behöver bredda sin professionella kompetens, utöver de kunskaper de traditionellt använder. En stor del av sjuköterskornas arbete på vårdcentraler består av att bedöma patienters vå

Narkosgaser är potenta växthusgaser vars totala globala påverkan hittills varit okänd. Nu publiceras en studie i The Lancet Planetary Health ledd från Lunds universitet som visar att utsläppet från växthusgaser från narkosgaser minskar med 27 procent över de senaste tio åren. Genom att ersätta den narkosgas som har störst klimatpåverkan, hade klimatpåverkan från narkosgaser kunnat minska med ytter

Ett hundratal exklusiva astronomiböcker från 1545 till 1799 har flyttats från Astronomibiblioteket till Universitetsbiblioteket. LUM var med när böckerna packades, men också flera månader senare efter att de vistats i karantän och det var dags att katalogisera, kapsla och magasinera. Nästa år ska de mest sällsynta skrifterna digitaliseras och kanske även ställas ut. Utanför Astronomihusets fönster

Ett nytt behandlingsalternativ för patienter med den komplexa tumörsjukdomen mantelcellslymfom, ger längre tid till återfall och färre biverkningar. Det visar en ny forskningsstudie från Lunds och Uppsala universitet. Resultaten är så lovande att det nya behandlingsalternativet redan implementerats i de nyligen publicerade riktlinjerna från European Society for Medical Oncology. Mantelcellslymfom
