Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

A new study from Lund confirms that pesticides commonly used in farmland significantly harm bumblebees. Data from 106 sites across eight European countries show that despite tightened pesticide regulations, more needs to be done. Despite claims of the world's most rigorous risk assessment process, the use of approved pesticides in European agricultural landscapes still negatively affects non-targe

Särskilt i Latinamerika har man prioriterat den här typen av hjälpprogram. Men leder de till att fattigdomsspiralen bryts?

Det behövs ytterligare och strängare skyddsåtgärder i områden där blybearbetning sker. Det menar forskare som under 40 år har följt barn i Landskrona och mätt mängden tungmetall i deras blod. En ny studie som fokuserar på de sista 15 åren, visar att de barn som bor nära smältverket har upp till 24 procent högre halter av bly, kvicksilver och kadmium i blodet än de som bor inne i centrum eller på l
