In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

Cold weather, dry air, an overactive immune system or our modern lifestyle. The causes may vary, but an increasing number of people are suffering from atopic eczema. In particular, children from higher socioeconomic backgrounds are at higher risk of developing the condition. However, there is help available and it is important to apply treatment early says Laura von Kobyletzki, a researcher at Lun

A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta — a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caused by neuronal damage. The study is published in Acta Neuropathologica. An increased risk o

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

Assessing patients via chat functions is a means for healthcare centres to streamline care, but it requires an entirely new approach to medical evaluation. A study from Lund University shows that nurses need to expand their professional competencies beyond their traditional skills. A significant part of nurses' work in healthcare centres involves assessing patients' medical needs through in-person

Unchanged since 1996, Sweden's hexavalent chromium exposure limit is higher than in several other countries. A research study from Lund University in Sweden shows that even workers exposed to levels of chromium below the Swedish limit display significant cell changes long before cancer develops. A proposal from the Swedish Work Environment Authority to lower the limit has now been put forward. In

On April 9, Lund University's Pre-GMP Facility and Skåne University Hospital's ATMP Center - a joint research and development environment where new treatments using cell and gene therapies are developed - will be inaugurated. The aim of the collaboration is to bring research closer to healthcare and make advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) available to more patients. Advanced Therapy Medic

Gases used in anaesthesia are potent greenhouse gases, and their total global impact has not previously been known. A study published in The Lancet Planetary Health led by Lund University shows that greenhouse gas emissions from anaesthetic gases have decreased by 27% over the last ten years. By swapping out the anaesthetic gas with the highest climate impact, the climate impact of anaesthetic gas

We expect a change in labour legislation that comes into force on 1 October this year. What is happening in the autumn is that general fixed-term employment, which is all fixed-term employment including hourly, but not temporary employment, disappears as a form of employment and is replaced by special fixed-term employment (Särskild visstidsanställning – SÄVA). The new preferential right requires

Finally! We are now (almost) at the execution phase of the ventilation project in the Ecology building! Years of planning and discovering that “nobody thought of this” have hopefully prepared us as much as possible for what is going to happen. So what will actually happen? The entire ventilation system at the Ecology building attic will be exchanged for a new one! Half this summer, and the other h

The basis of the legislation is that permanent employment becomes an even stronger norm and fixed-term employment is more quickly converted to permanent employment. The time is 1 year of fixed-term employment instead of the previous 2 years and is counted retroactively from the first of March this year. What do the new rules mean for our various employment types? General fixed-term employment (ALV

We have now created two new pages – one Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and one web version of our strategic plan. The FAQ is mainly intended for younger researchers at the department who are responsible for their own grants. Other people may also have good use of the FAQ, so please do check it out. Our strategic plan is converted into a web version which makes it more readable, easier to find an

The old site where we were supposed to gather in case of a fire alarm, at the so-called assembly point, at the parking lot in front of Naturvetarvägen 6A has been moved to the lawn between the Ecology Building and the Biology Building, near the small bridge over our stream. You will find instructions about what to do in case of a fire on our fire web page.

In an effort to reduce electricity prices ahead of the coming winter, the government is asking all authorities to save as much energy as possible. We, therefore, need to review our energy use and see where we can save. If we all chip in and save, the risk of planned power cuts during the winter is reduced.

Information has already been sent out about the strained electricity situation and the risk of disconnection of electricity. In order for you to know what to do in the event of a power cut, the department has drawn up a plan. The department has appointed key persons who are responsible for the safe shutting down of labs, sensitive instruments and other spaces. The only thing you need to consider/k

Only one month is left until we shut down parts of the Ecology building for this summer’s ventilation project! With a few exceptions, buildings B and F will be closed during June, July and August. If you want to access those parts of the building for something temporary, like picking something up, that’s ok. But we want you to do it from 09.00-15.00 on weekdays. If you want to access the freezer c

The summer is approaching and we want to draw your attention to the fact that it is high time to start planning for matters that need to be completed before the summer vacations. As employment matters are handled by both department and faculty, the dates become especially important when staffing is low. In order to be able to finish in time for the summer, we have some dates for processing recruit
