3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

What are opinions, what are facts and what are outright lies? The latest PISA assessment clearly shows that children and young adults have difficulties navigating the fast flow of information in society today. When anyone at all can make their voice heard it also becomes more difficult to recognise misleading information and fake news. Together, actors, performing arts teachers and researchers are

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

Is it possible to convert a patient’s own skin cells into functioning nerve cells? Or insert healthy genes to reprogram the cells of a damaged brain? Stem cell researcher Malin Parmar at Lund University in Sweden is studying these types of issues, in close collaboration with clinical researchers. She is now awarded a prize of SEK 100 000 from the Eric K. Fernström Foundation for her work. Every ye

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

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

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

During the pandemic, physical summits were replaced by Zoom meetings, and global political leaders had to quickly adjust. How did they visually convey their status in this new world of digital diplomacy? A new study from Lund University in Sweden analysed over 50 photos from the first virtual G20 meeting in 2020. When political leaders meet, there is usually a strict protocol, and national attribu

Understanding that others hold different viewpoints from your own is essential for human sociality. Adopting another person’s visual perspective is a complex skill that emerges around the age of two. A new study from Lund University in Sweden, published in Science Advances, suggests that this ability first arose in dinosaurs, at least 60 million years before it appeared in mammals. These findings
