Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that can lead to serious health problems. It is important to find ways to predict the disease to take preventive measures. A large interdisciplinary study led by Lund University has identified a biomarker in the blood that predicts type 2 diabetes several years before diagnosis. Diabetes is on the rise and over time, diabetes can lead to complications such as c

A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery

In patients with symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, dizziness, or fainting, or in individuals that physicians suspect may have atrial fibrillation, many days of ECGs may be required for diagnosis – “long-term ECG recordings”. These recordings must then undergo a time-consuming and human resource-intensive review to identify heart rhythm abnormalities. In a large international study, researcher

An international consensus report on diabetes identifies the potential for diabetes screening, better classification of type 2 diabetes, and biomarkers that can predict cardiovascular disease. The report also highlights that more evidence is needed before it is possible to provide individualised treatment to all patients. The report is based on a large collaboration between 28 universities worldwi

Recent studies indicate that acquired brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, trigger potentially harmful responses that may lead to neurodegenerative pathology. “Acquired brain injuries and their links to neurodegeneration diseases” is a new special interest group (SIG) collaborating across research groups to elucidate molecular processes that may mediate the relation between acquired bra

In order to increase clarity and to take account of the names of other divisions within the central administration, LDC is now changing its name to the Division of IT. In the recently completed review of the central administration, it was established that the name LDC was felt to be unclear. Even if the name is familiar within the area of IT, it has emerged that it was less well-known among large

A COIL involves two different courses at two universities in different countries where students collaborate digitally during a part of the course. Each course follows its own syllabus, and the teachers grade their respective students. Virtual exchanges are a way to provide many students with international experience, as highlighted by Erik Renström in a recent blog post For several years, Lund Uni

Exercise is an important part of the treatment for those who have osteoarthritis. But even before one is affected by osteoarthritis, in this case knee osteoarthritis, different types of exercise can be more or less advantageous, depending on how much muscle mass is around the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by pain and limited mobility in the joint. The disease can lead
