A research team at Lund University in Sweden has studied how patients with advanced cancer seek care during the final stages of their lives. By studying their care patterns, the research team has developed a measurement method that relates healthcare needs to the changing value of time for patients at the end of life. The less time they have left to live, the more precious time feels. Every year,

For many people who suffer from depression, the condition is not just about feeling down, but also about a loss of motivation and difficulty finding pleasure in activities they used to enjoy. A study conducted in Sweden at Lund University and Region Skåne shows that a medicine used to treat Parkinson’s disease can be used as an add-on therapy to alleviate these symptoms in some patients with treat

How can it be determined whether a person has died by suicide or homicide – an assessment that is key to the legal process? A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden shows how forensic medicine can become more accurate and legally sound by relying on systematic data rather than professional experience alone. In her thesis, Maria Berg von Linde, a recent doctoral graduate from Lund University and

Gabriel Börner preferred playing pinball to studying at upper secondary school and therefore failed to get into a medical programme. Today, he is a senior consultant in surgery at Helsingborg Hospital and a researcher at Lund University. He has invented a “sewing machine” to suture patient’s wounds after abdominal surgery. Although the journey there was longer than he could ever have imagined, he

The Faculty of Medicine currently preserves the so-called Broman Collection at the Archive Centre South. The collection, a remnant of medical research conducted between the 1920s and 1950s, consists of preserved foetuses and full-term infants. At the request of the Faculty of Medicine’s board, the Vice-Chancellor has now decided that the collection will be discontinued and the foetuses and childre

The risk of neurodegenerative diseases increases markedly after a traumatic brain injury – particularly following repeated concussions. Professors Niklas Marklund and Tadeusz Wieloch have now received SEK 3.4 million from The ALBORADA Trust for their research into preventing dementia after brain injury. Brain injury is a major but often underestimated public health problem that particularly affect

Rare diseases present a substantial challenge for healthcare systems, as their high clinical heterogeneity and low prevalence complicate the accumulation of knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment. Sweden is now implementing RaraSwed, the Swedish national rare disease quality registry, to facilitate the extraction of homogenous data and promote healthcare equity. In Sweden, more than 500,000 i

Studies of fat cells can help increase the knowledge of how weight loss treatments affect individuals with obesity. But fat cells are difficult to study because they are fragile and prone to break easily. Diabetes researcher Karin Stenkula receives a new grant for a project which will use new technique to study how fat cells are affected in connection with weight loss. Diabetes researcher Karin St

When researchers at Lund University investigated how the molecule UM171 works, a molecule used to make blood stem cells multiply, they made an unexpected connection. The results provide new insights into how one of the most common malignant brain tumours in children could be treated in the future. UM171 is a synthetic molecule developed by researchers at Université de Montréal. In stem cell resear

When red blood cells break down, they release heme, a component of hemoglobin, that can contribute to inflammation and damage tissues and blood vessels. Researchers at Lund University have now identified a mechanism by which heme activates an inflammatory reaction in the blood. They were also able to block this pathway in experimental models. The findings could have implications for diseases and c
