After a year of intensive work by many involved, the Swedish Climate Symposium with its close to 400 participants, has come to an end. Now an evaluation of the conference awaits, but the feeling is that most people experienced it as a successful event. To take the pulse during the symposium itself, we did a couple of short interviews with some of those who were there. Read the article which is pub

Kajsa Brolin forskar om hur våra gener och vår miljö påverkar risken att utveckla Parkinsons sjukdom. Den 27 mars lägger hon fram sin avhandling som till stor del baseras på MultiParks egen biobank som innehåller prover från över 1000 skånska parkinsonpatienter. Här berättar hon om en nyligen upptäckt genetisk riskfaktor som verkar finnas specifikt i Skåne. Och skyddar verkligen kaffe mot Parkinso

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

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

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
