During his lifetime,  Einar Sjövall  (born in Lund, 1879) became a very prominent—though at times controversial—figure in Lund University history. Dr. Sjövall was Professor of Forensic Medicine in Lund from 1914 to 1944. He was also a greatly appreciated lecturer in popular science and devoted much of his life to social medicine, public health, and alcohol-related problems. He published his first

Stress, bad weather, strep throat, alcohol or cuts – there are a number of triggers that can set off psoriasis. At the same time, a great deal is happening in research on this skin disease, and new ways of controlling the immune system are being discovered. Psoriasis is considered one of the common chronic diseases in Sweden and is likely found in more than 600,000 people. It is a chronic inflamma

Mental processing speed starts to slow down as early as our thirties, so that is the time to start making deposits into the brain account. With a large cognitive reserve, the brain has a better chance of finding ways to compensate for ageing, helping us keep it in shape. A healthy brain is a prerequisite for a long life. Dementia is not just about forgetfulness; it also involves the destruction of

Shiny hair. A body that smells fresh and citrusy. Many beauty ideals come with a risk of contact allergies. The dermatology clinic continually sees new patient cases, not least after the multi-year trend of gel nails. But let us start on a positive note. Life does not have to be lived entirely free of fragrances and makeup. Fragrance substances are the most common cosmetic allergens, but if you ar

Spending time in the sun can make us both healthier and happier. But too much as well as too little sun can cause serious health problems. How much sun is right for you depends, among other things, on your genes, how much pigment you have, and where in the world you are. "We need to find a balance. I think we should continue to enjoy the sun in moderation – that is often good for us. But anyone wh

– billions of microbes that protect or harm A constant interplay takes place on the surface of the body between cells, the immune system and the skin microbiota. We do not notice it – until the balance is disturbed. Then it becomes clear that the very outermost layer of the skin plays a crucial role in the wellbeing of the whole body. The skin is thin. Its outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your twenties, thawing them out, and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your forties or fifties, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming system and immune system. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive new healthy blood stem cells from young mice. Mice live only a couple of years at most. That makes them suitable to

A healthy brain is associated with a longer life, while ageing is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But what distinguishes healthy ageing from disease-related ageing? It is a complex question that researchers are working to answer. "We know a great deal about how age affects brain function, but we know virtually nothing about the underlyin
