Vita dvärgar är en typ av stjärnor som en gång i tiden varit normalstora men som sedan kollapsat efter att ha gjort slut på sitt kärnbränsle. Dessa interstellära särlingar har historiskt varit svåra att studera. Men i en färsk studie kan ett forskarlag avslöja nya uppgifter om de gåtfulla småstjärnornas hastigheter och rörelsemönster. Vita dvärgar har en radie som motsvarar cirka 1 procent av sole

Med anledning av Rysslands invasion i Ukraina förklarar nationalekonomen Fredrik NG Andersson hur de ekonomiska sanktionerna slår mot Ryssland, såväl mot befolkningen som mot företag, banker och den ryska centralbanken. Vad är det för restriktioner som Ryssland har fått och vad innebär restriktionerna för den ryska valutan? Vad innebär uteslutandet ur Swift-systemet för ryska banker, företag och a

Urbanisering och ett varmare klimat gör att allt fler vill bada i kanaler, hamnar och vid stadsnära stränder som kan vara i närheten av där avloppsvatten och dagvatten släpps ut. En ny metod som testats i Helsingborg och Malmö kan ge både snabbare och mer komplett svar på om doppet är säkert eller ej.

Mer än varannan tonårsflicka blödde rikligt och 40 procent hade järnbrist. Forskningen som är ledd från Lunds universitet visar även att ett enkelt formulär kan användas för att upptäcka unga tonårsflickor med riklig mens som löper ökad risk. Så många som hälften av tonårsflickorna i studien som publiceras i PLOS One hade rikliga menstruationer, och fyra av tio hade järnbrist. Studien genomfördes

Lymfödem efter huvud- och halscancer, är betydligt vanligare än man tidigare antagit och kan kvarstå länge efter avslutad cancerbehandling. Forskare vid Lunds universitet, har upptäckt att patienter med lägre fysisk aktivitet löper en högre risk att utveckla lymfödem. De har även sett att en lymfscanner objektivt mäter förändringar i tillståndet - en metod som nu har börjat användas i Södra sjukvå

A cancer diagnosis often entails many hospital visits and intensive treatments that can be very tiring for the patient. In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, cancer patients were identified as an at-risk group, so forms of treatment were modified. Now a group of physicians at Lund University want to evaluate how these new forms of treatment were experienced by the patients themselve

In recent years, therapeutic antibodies have transformed the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Now, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a new, efficient method based on the genetic scissors CRISPR-Cas9, that facilitates antibody development. The discovery is published in Nature Communications. Antibody drugs are the fastest growing class of drug, and several therapeu

In May, screening for colorectal cancer will be offered in Skåne to all those born in 1961. Subsequently, Swedes aged 60 to 74 will be tested for blood in their faeces, to detect cancer at an early stage. Once all regions in Sweden have introduced the screening, at least 300 lives are expected to be saved per year. Sweden has been slow to introduce screening; this spring, Skåne will become the thi

3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

A small proportion of women who receive anti-estrogen treatment after breast cancer surgery have worse outcomes. This is associated with mutations in the estrogen receptor gene, according to a study from Lund University now published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum.   “If our results are confirmed in further studies, it would be relevant to screen for these resistance mutations already at diagnosis, and t
