Children rarely get seriously ill in COVID-19. However, they can suffer from troublesome secondary diseases, the most serious being MIS-C, a hyper-inflammatory condition that often requires intensive care. In Skåne, around 30 children have been affected by MIS-C. Skåne University Hospital is leading the work to care for the affected children and research is also underway on the disease. MIS-C is a

Thanks to the recent development of diagnostic tools based on blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s, it is possible to predict whether an individual will develop the disease. Therefore, MultiPark researchers gather across groups to investigate hidden opportunities and develop implementable tools also for other brain conditions with similar approaches. “Development and implementation of fluid biom

The sound of tawny owls makes young European robins eat less during their southward migration. A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows how the threat from nocturnal predators affects the birds’ behaviour – and by extension their survival. When young robins embark on their first southward migration in the autumn, they make regular stops along the way to rest and replenish their energy rese

A course administrator is a little bit like an octopus. We have one arm in the current day, one arm in tomorrow, another arm later in the week, one arm a few weeks ahead, one arm at the end of the semester and a pair of arms in the next semester. This is how Kathryn Wellbaum, course administrator at the faculty, explains her job. What does an course administrator do?"The role of the course adminis

It is impressive to see how Forum Medicum is springing up like a mushroom after the rain. This major project is just one of many exciting construction projects that are planned or underway. We are rapidly developing such extensive parts of the campus that the entire University will be affected. This not only applies to our campus in Lund, but also in Malmö, Helsingborg and Ljungbyhed. It is not on

In Sweden he fears a risk of care damage, which likely does not exist in countries like Romania. During three months in the autumn, SWEAH PhD student Glenn Möllergren, Lund University, will live in Romania and find out more about it. First one year in the 1990s and then at a number of longer stays for education and work. Soon a smaller moving load will go to Romania again. Möllergren has received

On-chip optical communication between tiny light-based components can make neuromorphic (brain-inspired) computing much smaller and more energy-efficient. In this work, researchers demonstrate that individual nanowire devices on a silicon chip can transmit and receive light signals directly to each other. These miniature circuits communicate reliably, using significantly less power than convention
