När Malmöbor födda i Irak erbjöds matlagningskurser och information om hälsa minskade de i vikt och mådde bättre – viktiga resultat i en befolkningsgrupp där risken att utveckla typ 2-diabetes är hög. Forskaren och läkaren Louise Bennet ledde en studie som gjordes 2015 inom ramarna för den större studien MEDIM (Migration och etnicitet för diabetesutvecklingen i Malmö). I MEDIM-studien deltog cirka

The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

A new study have identified which blood tests are best at detecting Alzheimer’s disease during the earliest stages, and also another blood test that is optimal for detecting relevant treatment effects. These findings will speed up the development of new therapies that can slow down the disease progression. The article was originally published as a press release from the Sahlgrenska Academy, Univer

Throughout life, our lungs are vital organs. For newborns as well as for elderly patients, there is a need for safe and continuous lung monitoring in the healthcare. Some of today's common methods of examining the lungs, such as X-rays and computed tomography are limiting since they can not be applied continuously and carry ionizing radiation. A new technology for clinical lung monitoring is now o

Symptoms for patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS improved as much by eating less sugar and starch as for those who followed FODMAP – the diet currently recommended to patients. The results, presented in a new study from Lund University in Sweden, also show that weight loss is greater and sugar cravings are reduced among those who follow the starch and sucrose-reduced diet.

One result of climate change is that spring is arriving earlier. However, migratory birds are not keeping up with these developments and arrive too late for the peak in food availability when it is time for breeding. By getting the birds to fly a little further north, researchers in Lund, Sweden, and the Netherlands have observed that these birds can give their chicks a better start in life. Globa

Från den 1 januari 2026 gäller nya riktlinjer för tjänsteresor. Reglerna är i stort sett desamma som tidigare, förutom när det gäller flygresor. Nytt är att du ska välja biobränslebiljett när det är möjligt och undvika mellanlandningar, allt för att minska klimatpåverkan. Föreskrifter och allmänna råd har samlats i ett enda dokument för att göra det enklare att hitta och förstå vad som gäller när
