I ett projekt vid Lunds universitet tränas en AI-modell till att hitta de bröstcancerpatienter som kan avstå ingrepp i armhålan. Modellen analyserar tidigare outnyttjad information i mammografibilder, och ringar med hög träffsäkerhet in den individuella risken för metastaser i armhålan. I en nyligen avslutad studie visar modellen att drygt 40 procent av dagens armhåleingrepp skulle kunna undvikas.

Nya resultat från en stor registerstudie visar på ett tydligt samband mellan urinvägsinfektion (UVI) hos personer över 50 och olika slags urinvägs- och gynekologisk cancer. - Resultaten tyder på att urinvägsinfektion i denna åldersgrupp kan vara en indikation för cancer, säger Filip Jansåker, men understryker att de allra flesta som drabbas av infektionen inte har cancer. UVI är en väldigt vanlig

Arkeologen Peter Jordan har tillsammans med forskarkollegor från Storbritannien och USA fått forskningsanslaget – ERC Synergy Grant – för det internationella projektet FORAGER. Forskningen vill kasta nytt ljus över demografin i jägar-samlarsamhällen och kan potentiellt förändra vår förståelse av människans historia under de senaste 10 000 åren helt och hållet. Projektet FORAGER – undersöker fyra n

Kompetensportalen, Lucat, Lupin, Lubas och LUCRIS. Det är namnen på några av Lunds universitets administrativa system. Men det är också namnet på fem nya bakteriofager som nyligen upptäckts i dammarna i Botaniska trädgården vid Lunds universitet. Bakteriofager – ofta förkortade till fager – är virus som angriper bakterier. Fager är häpnadsväckande effektiva mördare – dessa små virus utplånar 20 pr

I ett unikt arkiv i Lund förvaras 500 djupintervjuer med överlevande från koncentrationslägret Ravensbrück, gjorda direkt efter att de ankom till Sverige våren 1945. Nu är arkivet nominerat till FN-organet Unesco för att bli ett världsminne, ett skrivet kulturarv som är av stort värde för mänskligheten. Taj Mahal i Indien, den vattenburna staden Venedig liksom Grand Canyons svindlande höjder är bå

Nyblivna mammor uttrycker att de känner sig ”lämnade vind för våg” efter förlossningen. Eftervården är ett erkänt eftersatt område inom vårdkedjan vid barnafödande. Bilden bekräftas av Socialstyrelsens rekommendationer att eftervården behöver förstärkas. En studie ledd från Lunds universitet har undersökt vad kvinnorna själva har behov av. I Sverige har eftervården vid förlossning förändrats avsev

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as ‘junk’ and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases. DNA carries the complete set of instructions an organism

The results of an observational study from Lund University in Sweden are clear: up to the age of two, a more fibre-rich diet seems to reduce the risk of coeliac disease. A particularly clear link was seen when children had eaten fibre-rich foods before the age of one. “This is the first time the risk of coeliac disease has been studied based on fibre in children’s diets. But a clinical trial is al
