Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med
Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det är fler 70-80-åringar som insjuknar i typ 1 diabetes än barn. En ny svensk studie visar att bara blodprov kan säkra en riktig diabetesdiagnos och behandling. En stor svensk kartläggning av så gott som samtliga i Kronobergs län som insjuknat i diabetes under tre år slår hål på flera myter om vem som drabbas av vi

Två forskare vid medicinska fakulteten får anslag, 61 miljoner, för forskning om immunologiskt långtidsminne och omprogrammering av tumörceller. Forskningen ska leda till effektivare vaccinationsstrategier och immunterapier. Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse har beviljat 835 miljoner kronor till 30 olika projekt inom medicin, naturvetenskap och teknik som bedöms ha potential att bana väg för fr

TEMA FORSKNING I EN OROLIG VÄRLD. När det planeras för mat i kristider – vilka livsmedel föreställer vi oss då?Konservburkar och frystorkad mat tänker många, men faktum är att om det uppstår en kris så är det inte bunkrade konserver som räddar oss. Livsmedelsberedskap är ett ämne som tas upp av forskare från LTH i Almedalen i sommar, och en av deras reflektioner är att lokala odlingar av grödor so

Mer än varannan tonårsflicka blödde rikligt och 40 procent hade järnbrist. Forskningen som är ledd från Lunds universitet visar även att ett enkelt formulär kan användas för att upptäcka unga tonårsflickor med riklig mens som löper ökad risk. Så många som hälften av tonårsflickorna i studien som publiceras i PLOS One hade rikliga menstruationer, och fyra av tio hade järnbrist. Studien genomfördes

We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark. Henriette Frees Esholdt’s study was carried out in a large organisation in the hospitality sector

In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on ra

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

Long-term effective methods are needed to curb the negative effects of coastal erosion. Within the LIFE Coast Adapt project, researchers from Lund University, together with officials from Region Skåne and several coastal municipalities in Skåne, have tested various nature-based methods to contribute to a practice in the field. The project has now come to an end with promising results. In the LIFE
