I den nya långtidsstudien från Lunds universitet ingår barn från flera länder. Studien är av observationstyp och påvisar därför inte orsakssamband, men den är den hittills mest omfattande i sitt slag. Resultaten presentera

Ögonläkaren och forskaren Lotta Gränse vid Lunds universitet och Skånes universitetssjukhus har kunnat visa att ögondroppar med kortison kan förhindra utvecklingen av den mycket allvarliga ögonsjukdomen ROP hos spädbarn. Det har revolutionerat behandlingen och innebär att huvuddelen av barn i södra sjukvårdsregionen med svår ROP inte behöver traditionell behandling i narkos för att undvika svår sy

Currently, a lot is known about which genes are responsible for our individual blood groups, however not much is understood about how and why the levels of the blood group molecules differ between one person and another. And this can be important for blood transfusion safety. Now a research group in Lund has developed a toolbox that finds the answer – and in doing so, has solved a 50-year-old myst

In a new observational study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden looked at all children listed for heart transplants in the Nordic countries between 1986 and 2023. A total of 597 children were included in the study, 461 of whom received a transplant. The results show that survival rates have increased significantly over time despite the modest volumes in the region – a development that the r
