Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20-30% of patients with Alzheimer's di

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

En svensk multicenterstudie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar ett samband mellan låg fiberkonsumtion och förekomst av instabila högriskplack i kranskärlen, sådana som kan utlösa propp och orsaka hjärtinfarkt. Studien kopplar också kostmönstret till plackens sammansättning, alltså hur potentiellt farliga de är. Forskarna har med hjälp av avancerad hjärtavbildning, datortomografi, undersö
