More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency.

Opioids work against severe pain but the risks of side effects and addiction are high. In the USA alone, 26 people die every day from overdoses. Now researchers in an international collaboration have investigated how common opioid prescriptions are for osteoarthritis patients in Sweden.

A combination of two imaging methods can be used to achieve structural and chemical information within a single neuron. Researchers from MultiPark at Lund University recently developed this approach. Their study reveals that amyloid aggregates, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, may cause clustering of iron in primary neurons. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia. Understanding where a
