This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Solar storms and the particles they release result in spectacular phenomena such as auroras, but they can also pose a serious risk to our society. In extreme cases they have caused major power outages, and they could also lead to breakdowns of satellites and communication systems. According to a study published today

Thousands of people could be spared from a hip fracture each year if a new method to identify the risk of osteoporotic fractures were to be introduced in healthcare. This is the view of the researchers at Lund University in Sweden who are behind a new 3D-simulation method. The results were recently published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Osteoporosis causes 120,000 bone fractures in

A blood biomarker yet to be used in cardiac arrest care can give a clearer picture of the extent of brain damage after a cardiac arrest. This has been shown in a large international multicentre study led by researchers at Lund University that has been published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Worldwide, around four million people each year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. “This will transform c

How can it be determined whether a person has died by suicide or homicide – an assessment that is key to the legal process? A new thesis from Lund University in Sweden shows how forensic medicine can become more accurate and legally sound by relying on systematic data rather than professional experience alone. In her thesis, Maria Berg von Linde, a recent doctoral graduate from Lund University and

Children in preschool and primary school will now be able to learn more about insects, birds, flowers and plants, how valuable they are and how we humans can protect nature. The collaborative project ‘Natural Nations’ is introducing biodiversity in the curriculum. In the past, knowledge of species and the natural world was part of general knowledge and was passed down through generations. Today, t

An increasing number of people want to help bees and other pollinators by growing flowers that are rich in pollen and nectar. But which flowers are the most beneficial? If the point is to aid threatened bee species and biodiversity, then a variety of native plants is the way to go. If you are a farmer, with large areas of insect-pollinated crops, it might be easiest to aim for a few species of flo

New research from Lund University found several inaccuracies in historical CPIs in popular online databases. The findings can have major consequences for future research. Faults in the data might already have influenced decisions made by politicians regarding economic policy, according to Jonas Ljungberg, Professor emeritus of Economic History. Jonas Ljungberg needed access to different European c

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. I experiment på möss har danska forskare visat att om gluten utesluts ur kosten under dräktighetsperioden får ungarna inte typ 1 diabetes. Detta trots att de själva fick en normal kost som innehöll gluten. Sjukdomarna glutenintolerans, celiaki, och typ 1 diabetes har mycket gemensamt. De är båda autoimmuna, det vill

Nu har forskarna fått svaret på frågan om oralt insulin kan förhindra tidiga tecken på typ 1-diabetes eller klinisk diagnos hos små barn med förhöjd risk att utveckla sjukdomen. Även om behandlingen inte kunde förhindra utvecklingen av diabetesrelaterade autoantikroppar fördröjde oralt insulin sjukdomshastigheten hos barn som utvecklade sådana autoantikroppar. Omkring 170 svenska barn har deltagit
