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

The machines have started rolling in at Norunda and are cutting down trees, one by one. Norunda is Sweden’s oldest measuring station for greenhouse gases and it is unique. Following several decades of being surrounded by a hundred-year-old forest, it will instead be surrounded by a clear-cut. - We expect a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, says professor Natascha Kljun at CEC.

For the first time, a simple field test, called the five-second squeeze test, has been used on icehockey players to see if it can indicate current hip/groin function and hip muscle strength. According to the new study from Lund University in Swede

A unique archive in Lund, Sweden, holds 500 in-depth interviews with survivors of the Ravensbrück concentration camp. The interviews were conducted immediately after the survivors arrived in Sweden in spring 1945. The archive has now been nominated to the UN agency UNESCO to become part of the Memory of the World Register, as a piece of written cultural heritage of great value to humanity. The arc

Lund University and partners have been awarded a grant of € 6 million from the European Commission to develop innovation policies for the cultural and creative industries. New innovation policies are needed to support ecosystems in the sector with better access to funding and incubators so that more ideas can be realised. The ekip project starts 1 June. Complex innovation processes involve many ac

The excitement has been palpable in recent weeks following the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to Anne L’Huillier, a researcher at Lund. This is the first time a researcher at Lund University has received a Nobel Prize, and atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier is only the fifth woman ever to be awarded the prize in Physics. By now it is widely known where atomic physicist Anne L’Huillier was when

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

The title of Mahwish Naseer´s thesis is "Why do older adults seek emergency care? Impact of contextual factors, care, health, and social relations". One important finding is that older people who were discharged home, instead of being admitted to inpatient care from the emergency department, were at higher risk of emergency care revisit within 30 days of the initial visit.

Med hjälp av global satellitdata har ett forskarlag kartlagt trädtäcket i världens skyddade naturområden. Studien visar att områden med många stora växtätande djur har ett betydligt mer varierat utbud av träd. Att upprätthålla artrika och motståndskraftiga ekosystem är avgörande för att bevara den biologiska mångfalden och mildra klimatförändringarna. Här spelar megafaunan – de allra största djure

Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hittats i en grusgrop strax utanför den lilla byn Kitkiöjärvi i Pajala kommun. Analyser av mineralkorn i stenarna visar att de härstammar från ett hittills okänt meteoritnedslag för 659 miljoner år sedan. Nu återstår jakten på nedslagskratern som lurar någonstans i närheten av grustaget. Ett forskarlag har studerat fyra märkliga stenar som hitta

Förra året lanserade forskare i Lund en banbrytande teori om att jorden bildades av småstenar som under miljontals år sögs ihop till en himlakropp. Denna förklaringsmodell stärks nu ytterligare genom en ny studie som visar att även kosmiskt damm spelade en avgörande roll för vår planets tillblivelse. Den har kommit att kallas småstensteorin. Den radikala idén om att Tellus gick från att vara en be

I en ny studie visar forskare hur synen hos en fjärilsart har utvecklats så att de ser röda färgnyanser lika bra som blå. En förmåga som ger dem specifika fördelar, exempelvis i jakten på nektar. Upptäckten har möjliggjorts genom att forskarna har utvecklat en helt ny metod för att avgöra vad och vilka färger insekter kan se. Landlevande varelser uppfattar olika delar av ljusets våglängder.

Det finns en tydlig koppling mellan förbättrad tarmmikrobiota och ett av våra vanligaste kolesterolsänkande läkemedel, statiner.

Under 2021 uppmärksammade vi att insulinet fyller 100 år. Insulinet har räddat många liv sedan upptäckten gjordes, men det är inte alla som har tillgång till det livsviktiga läkemedlet. Årets Världsdiabetesdag satte fokus på den bristande tillgången till insulin. Det är också temat för flera artiklar i den ansedda tidskriften The Lancet.

Kan vissa bakterier i mage och tarm ge ökad risk för typ 2-diabetes? En stor finsk studie tyder på det. Forskare vid universitetet i Turku har upptäckt att fyra bakteriearter gav ökad risk att få typ 2-diabetes. Bakterierna i mag- tarmkanalen är på många sätt avgörande för vår hälsa på gott och på ont. Vi skulle inte överleva utan bakterier men när sammansättningen är i obalans orsakar de ohälsa.
