I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.
Årets största anslag från IngaBritt och Arne Lundbergs forskningsstiftelse går till Vinay S Swaminathan vid Lunds universitet. Han erhåller fem miljoner kronor för sin forskning om hur frisk bröstvävnad utvecklas till tumörer och sprider sig. Vinay S Swaminathans forskargrupp har utvecklat en 3D-modell som efterliknar tumörens mikromiljö i laboratoriet. Tekniken ger nya möjligheter att förstå sjuk

Nya resultat från en stor registerstudie visar på ett tydligt samband mellan urinvägsinfektion (UVI) hos personer över 50 och olika slags urinvägs- och gynekologisk cancer. - Resultaten tyder på att urinvägsinfektion i denna åldersgrupp kan vara en indikation för cancer, säger Filip Jansåker, men understryker att de allra flesta som drabbas av infektionen inte har cancer. UVI är en väldigt vanlig
Nu kommer FN:s klimatpanel IPCC med en syntesrapport som sammanfattar de senaste årens rapporter. Vi ställde fem frågor till Markku Rummukainen, Sveriges kontaktperson för IPCC och även professor i klimatologi vid Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap på Lunds universitet. Vad bidrar den nya syntesrapporten med?– Syntesrapporten ger ett relevant kunskapsunderlag i klimatfrågan för världens länder

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In late May–early June, Lund University will hold a Nobel Symposium in Physics and Chemistry where newly discovered super-heavy elements will be discussed. The possibility for a Nobel Prize looms on the horizon, but the road ahead is not straightforward and competition between countries and researchers is fierce. Dirk

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Everyone knows about source criticism, but researchers Jutta Haider and Olof Sundin want to emphasise source confidence. “There has been an intensive focus on the critical aspect. Pupils leave school with the attitude that you cannot trust anything, so source confidence is an important complement to source criticism.

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Previous research by diabetes researcher Rashmi Prasad has sh

Kompetensportalen, Lucat, Lupin, Lubas and LUCRIS. Those are the names of some of Lund University’s administrative systems. They are now also the names of five new bacteriophages that have recently been discovered in the ponds of Lund University’s Botanical Gardens. Bacteriophages – often abbreviated to phages – are viruses that attack bacteria. Phages are astonishingly effective assassins – these

Eating cheese and cream with a high fat content may be linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. This is shown by a new large-scale study from Lund University. The researchers analysed the dietary habits of more than 27,000 people and linked these to the occurrence of dementia over a follow-up period of up to 25 years. The debate about low-fat diets has long shaped our health advice and influ

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery
