Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot

In a study led by Lund University and the Amsterdam University Medical Center, researchers used PET to analyse aggregates of tau pathology in more than 12,000 people from all over the world. The study – the largest ever of its kind – examines the connection between genetic predisposition, gender and age in relation to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease. The study is published in Nature Neuroscie

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. At the time of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s, the level of carbon-14 in the atmosphere increased dramatically. Now researchers from Lund University have developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content in atherosclerotic plaques in patients. The measurements reveal how old and da

The Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ) has produced statistics for international student mobility at undergraduate and graduate level for all Swedish higher education institutions during the academic year 2022/23. Lund University is high in a national comparison. UKÄ's report states that the pandemic led to a sharp decline in international student mobility in terms of both incoming and outgo

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need
