That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

For the first time, researchers have linked specific frequent defects in sperm to risk of pregnancy complications and negative impacts on the health of the baby. The study from Lund University in Sweden shows that high proportion of father’s spermatozoa possessing DNA strand breaks is associated with doubled risk of preeclampsia in women who have become pregnant by IVF. It also increases the risk

A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has provided an important clue to the origin of the element Ytterbium in the Milky Way, by showing that the element largely originates from supernova explosions. The groundbreaking research also provides new opportunities for studying the evolution of our galaxy. The study is published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. Ytterbium is one of four elements i

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Losing a body part can have a major impact on both function and feeling, with so-called phantom sensations. However, prosthetics research has made great progress in recent years. Among other advances, artificial sensation has been made possible with the help of surgically implanted electrodes. But how can one create s

International law supports women’s right to breastfeed in the public. However, women report having been subjected to negative responses and judgmental looks when breastfeeding outside the home. This is according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden, based on surveys answered by women living in Sweden, Ireland and Australia. The researchers behind the study say that societies everywhere ne

It has been a year since an extensive Research and Innovation Bill was introduced. The Ministry of Education, research funding bodies and higher education institutions are still busy converting it and its initiatives into action. Perhaps this is why the autumn’s budget bill now feels a little thin on ideas and forward-thinking in those parts relating to our sector. In addition, the Government has

Blomrika vägkanter kan locka hungriga humlor, men riskerar samtidigt att vara farliga för de surrande små insekterna. Det visar en ny forskningsstudie från Lunds universitet. Den aktuella studien har undersökt vilken roll som vägkanter spelar för humlor. Å ena sidan kan blomsterfyllda vägkanter vara värdefulla eftersom de bidrar med livsmiljöer för växter och ger föda till pollinerande insekter. Å
