Är det något du undrar över, fråga oss! Kan jag vaccinera mig mot covid-19 när jag ammar?Svar: Amning utgör inget hinder för vaccination.Det är okänt om vaccinerna går ut i bröstmjölk. Det finns det ingen anledning att tro att vaccinet skulle ge några biverkningar hos barnet som ammas.Källa: LäkemedelsverketVarför är det så stort fokus på d-vitamin? Ska vi fortsätta ge d-vitamin efter två års-ålde

Överläkaren Daniel Agardh och hans kollegor forskar nu för att se om så kallade laktobaciller (probiotika) kan dämpa den autoimmuna inflammationen som leder till att barn drabbas av sjukdomar som typ 1-diabetes, glutenintolerans och sköldkörtelinflammation. – Det långsiktiga syftet är att vi vill hitta metoder som förhindrar uppkomsten av någon av dessa sjukdomar hos barn med ärftliga riskfaktorer

The voices of the survivors make clear how incredibly fragile a democracy is; how quickly the moral foundations of a society can crumble and make the unthinkable possible,” says Erik Renström, Vice-Chancellor of Lund University. UNESCO has added the unique archive of 500 in-depth interviews with Holocaust survivors to the Memory of the World Register. It recognises the Ravensbrück Archive as an ex

The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs. The new study has been published in Advanc
