The goal is to examine the risk of conception mode-type-1 diabetes using different survival analysis modelling approaches and examine if there are differentials in the risk of type-1 diabetes between children from fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfers. We aimed to compare the performances and fitness of different survival analysis regression models with the Cox proportional hazard (CPH) model u

Rapid climate change will lead to greater shortages of food, fuel, energy and animal feed in vast rural areas of eastern and southern Africa. These are the findings of an interdisciplinary study from Lund University in Sweden. The two weather phenomena El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (jointly abbreviated to ENSO) lead to powerful variations in the climate of sub-Saharan Africa. Until now, it

Swedish forests are important carbon sinks today, despite emissions from deforestration. The choice of management is paramount for the impacts on climate change and some of the concepts used in the climate discussion today needs to be thought over and based on research.

Thanks to the recent development of diagnostic tools based on blood biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s, it is possible to predict whether an individual will develop the disease. Therefore, MultiPark researchers gather across groups to investigate hidden opportunities and develop implementable tools also for other brain conditions with similar approaches. “Development and implementation of fluid biom

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group from Lund University has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. The studies are published in Nature Medicine, where the researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy body disease even before ot
