Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med

Fanny Hellgren's solo exhibition features several paintings from the artist's latest series. The astonishing canvases radiate soothing and pleasant feelings and by contemplating these non-figurative compositions one after another, one can sense a continuous rhythm. A pulsation, emanating from layers upon layers of acrylic paint, attracts us to track and understand its language and the dialogue tha

In an event on Europe Day 2025, Maria Strömvik from the Centre for European Studies spoke on the importance of the Öresund Bridge as an example of European integration. Together with students who shared personal experiences she criticised the border controls and outlined a number of scenarios that could be instrumental for their abolishment. On May 9, Europe celebrates Europe Day. This year marks

Vinsterna med fysisk aktivitet på låg intensitet, som att stå, gå eller utföra hushållssysslor, kan vara större än man tidigare trott. Genom att ersätta en halvtimmes stillasittande om dagen med vardagsaktivitet minskar risken att dö i hjärt–kärlsjukdom med 24 procent, enligt en studie från Karolinska Institutet som publiceras i tidskriften Clinical Epidemiology. Hjärt–kärlsjukdom är den sjukdomsg

En ny svensk studie visar att beteendeförändrande behandling för att gå ner i vikt fungerar mycket bra för barn med kraftig fetma. Men det gäller att behandlingen sätts in i tid, eftersom insatser för att förändra mat- och motionsvanor visade sig ha liten effekt på tonåringar med samma problem. – För dessa tonåringar med kraftig fetma är resultaten alarmerande, risken för framtida sjuklighet och s

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

A risk assessment system developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows which patients, with a certain type of streptococcal bacteria in the blood, need to be examined for a heart valve infection – a serious condition requiring prolonged medical treatment. “Our assessment system can help reduce unnecessary examinations of low-risk patients”, says Torgny Sunnerhagen, one of the researc

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

Plast och andra petrokemikalier expanderar snabbt. Akademisk och politisk uppmärksamhet har fokuserat på konsumtion av plast, men i en ny Open Access-artikel med tidskriften Global Environmental Change, utforskar Jakob Skovgaard och hans medförfattare finansieringen av petrokemisk produktion.
