Elite ice hockey players with a history of concussion report heightened mental health symptoms, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden. In addition, one in five female hockey players suffered symptoms of burnout, and both sexes reported an alcohol consumption at a risk-level. The researchers based their study on Sweden’s two highest hockey divisions for men – the SHL and Hockeyall

In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led from Lund University shows how the levels of a particular protein are elevated in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes. By knocking out the gene for the protein IGFBP7, the researchers discovered that insulin secretion was improved. Reduced insulin secretion leads to

This year's recipient of the Leif C. Groop Award for Outstanding Diabetes Research maps out mechanisms in the adipose tissue, which has increased the understanding of why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes. Ingrid Wernstedt Asterholm at University of Gothenburg is spurred to find new answers when observations in the lab do not agree with the general view. Justification for awarding"I

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

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

Diabetesstiftelsen i Storbritannien, Diabetes UK, har inlett ett samarbete med livsmedelskedjan Tesco, sedan Tesco beslutat samla in och skänka 10 miljoner pund, motsvarande över 100 miljoner svenska kronor till forskning om typ 1 diabetes. Inom 20 år tror man sig ha ett vaccin inom räckhåll. Dr Alasdair Rankin, forskningschef vid Diabetes UK, säger i ett uttalande att han tror att ambitionen att

På senare år har man upptäckt ett 70-tal genetiska riskvarianter för diabetes, men fortfarande är TCF7L2 - känd som ”diabetesgenen” - den gen som innebär störst risk för att insjukna i typ 2 diabetes. Med hjälp av en ny metod, ”exon skipping”, vill Ola Hansson vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum fördjupa kunskapen om TCF7L2 genom att i djurförsök studera nya sätt att fördröja insjuknande i typ

Med hjälp av ett enkelt blodprov kan man i dag se att vissa personer i framtiden riskerar att insjukna i typ 2 diabetes. Anders Rosengren, forskare vid Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum och läkare vid Skåne universitetssjukhus i Malmö, håller nu på att studera hur man kan hitta nya behandlingar för personer med en ökad mängd av proteinet SFRP4 i blodet.

Att höga blodsocker kraftigt ökar risken för hjärt- kärlsjukdom är väl känt. Varför det är så är mer oklart. En viktig del av förklaringen kan vara NFAT, ett protein som aktiveras när blodsockret är förhöjt och som då startar en kedja av händelser som skadar blodkärlen och accelererar åderförkalkning. Nu vet forskare på Lunds universitets Diabetescenter hur den destruktiva processen kan stoppas ho

Patienter med diabetes typ 2 behandlas ofta med blodförtunnande läkemedel för att förebygga hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Men diabetespatienter som inte haft stroke, hjärtinfarkt eller andra hjärtsjukdomar blir inte hjälpta av blodförtunnande läkemedel. Det visar en studie av forskare vid Sahlgrenska akademin. yp 2 diabetiker löper mer än dubbelt så stor risk för hjärt- och kärlsjukdom jämfört med de

Dendritcellen är en typ av cell som upptäcktes på 70-talet men nu blivit ett hett forskningsobjekt. Den spelar en viktig roll för immunförsvaret genom att plocka upp främmande ämnen och presentera dem för de vita blodkroppar som ska bekämpa angriparna. En forskargrupp från Lunds universitet har just publicerat en artikel om dendritceller i den ansedda tidskriften Immunity. Dendritcellerna utgör en
