We all remember the disruptive boys in the class. The ones who shoplifted, got into playground fights and started smoking early. Some of these boys were quite simply displaying normal defiance and are now living a good and stable life as adults. But for a few of them, these were warning signs of risky behaviour that later led them on to a life of crime. Almost all teenagers have a tendency to brea

I mitten av december förra året startades en namnlista på nätet i protest mot nedläggningen av LUM, på initiativ av ett tjugotal medarbetare vid universitetet. I skrivande stund har närmare 900 personer skrivit under. Bland argumenten lyfts framför allt tidningens förmåga att skapa överblick och samhörighet i en stor och spretig organisation. Nedan har vi samlat ett litet axplock av de kommentarer

I en studie från förra året visade en forskargrupp vid Lunds universitet att gravida kvinnor med preeklampsi har en tydlig obalans i sin tarmflora jämfört med friska gravida. Nu startar forskargruppen en ny klinisk studie för att undersöka om probiotika kan ha en positiv inverkan på tillståndet. Preeklampsi, eller havandeskapsförgiftning, är en av de allvarligaste komplikationerna under graviditet
