Sedan 1950-talet har antalet patienter med artros ökat explosionsartat. Idag är sjukdomen tillsammans med diabetes en av de snabbast växande folksjukdomarna i världen. I ett nytt forskningsprojekt undersöker Andrea Dell’Isola, docent vid institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper Lunds universitet, kopplingen mellan artros och metabola sjukdomar. I Sverige beräknas runt tio procent av befolkningen ha

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Vem som helst kan få en blodpropp och ärftliga faktorer kan spela en roll. Livsstilsfaktorer som stillasittande, rökning och övervikt kan öka risken. Upp till tio procent av befolkningen drabbas under sin livstid av en blodpropp. Men vad är en blodpropp och går de att undvika? En blodpropp, eller så kallad venös tro

En ny studie av forskare vid Lunds universitet ger ytterligare stöd för att typ 2-diabetes bör delas in i undergrupper och behandlas på olika sätt. Studien visar att det finns tydliga epigenetiska skillnader mellan olika grupper av diabetespatienter. Epigenetiska markörer kan kopplas till risken de olika undergrupperna har att utveckla vanliga komplikationer vid diabetes, som stroke, hjärtinfarkt

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29 per cent more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screeni

Sustainability science is about making impact for societal transformations. Building transdisciplinary relationships for the co-creation of knowledge with organisations outside academia is crucial to enact change. New research from LUCSUS identifies key insights for how to create and maintain more successful collaborations. The work is based on five-years of working with the Swedish craft beer sec

In mid-January, protesters and police clashed in the village of Lützerath in Germany after the village was occupied for a long time in an attempt to prevent the extension of a large open-pit coal mine that will swallow the village. The occupation is just one example of the increasingly widespread struggle to defend the environment and prevent greenhouse gas emissions, according to LUCSUS researche

By describing his research as a battle between good and evil and likening himself to a hacker who attacks cancer cells to make them kind, PhD student Luís Oliveira took home the win in this year's Research Grand Prix. It is a competition in presentation technique for researchers, and it was held in front of an audience of almost 400 students at Helsingborg's Stadsteater on 1 October. His presentat

SWEAH alumna Anna Nivestam, at the partner university Kristianstad University, is currently publishing a new scientific article on how well Nordic research focuses on the concept of health promotion and on the participation of older adults. Life expectancy is increasing in all the Nordic countries, and health-promoting research is crucial to meet both opportunities and challenges as society has an

The frequency of the word "polarisation" in Swedish news media increased by 300% between 2010 and 2021. In the same period, the term's definition evolved, and its contextual meaning would differ depending on whether the context was Swedish or American. Nils Gustafsson and Anamaria Dutceac Segesten contributed to an article studying the use of the word "polarisation" in Swedish newspapers and magaz

Exactly one year after Sven met the orthopedic doctor in Lund for the first time, he gets an appointment at the hospital where he is to be operated. The first appointment is for an enrollment interview, during which he will meet an orthopedic specialist, an anesthesiologist, a physiotherapist and a nurse. Sven does not meet the same orthopedic doctor as he did a year ago, but he could feel that th

For up to 40 years, nearly 800,000 people from Sweden, Norway and Austria have been tracked based on how their BMI and metabolic health – that is, their blood pressure, blood glucose levels and blood fats - affect the risk of suffering from obesity-related cancers. The study shows that those who are metabolically unhealthy are at a higher risk of certain forms of cancer, regardless of their body w

Using 150 000 images from the Perseverance space rover, an international research team has studied the Western delta in Jezero crater, Mars, revealing evidence of deltas that advanced into a lake. The new discovery not only provides important keys to the geological history of our neighbouring planet, and it also intensifies the search for life. A cloud of red smoke.
