On Monday, 23 February, the Swedish Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) announced its decision. They have declined to subsidize Wegovy, which has quickly become one of the most discussed medications for obesity. Wegovy, which contains the now well‑known substance semaglutide, is used to help people with obesity lose weight. Novo Nordisk, the company behind the drug, had applied for it

During the autumn I will be immersed in leadership for the future. Managers and leaders already have good opportunities for professional development. However, I am convinced that we can further sharpen our skills and become even better at equipping current and future leaders. There is much that we do well at Lund University. Among other things, there are leadership courses and programmes and we ar

How are we going to reach climate targets? That is an ever-present question for many of us. A major new EU project, CLIMB-FOREST, will create an overview of European forests and forestry over a period of four-and-a-half years. The aim is to be able to guide the forestry industry and decision-makers through these complex issues using tools and models. There is a lot of expertise in each individual

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the F

Although surgery is performed with a simple procedure that is performed under local anesthesia, new research by post doc Malin Zimmerman at Lund University shows that socioeconomic factors such as income, education and/or occupation, have an impact on general recovery and outcome after surgery. -The results from my research show that patients with different socioeconomic backgrounds recover and be

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. It has been established that not all cancer cells are equally aggressive – most can be neutralised with radiation and chemotherapy. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that some cancer cells can accumulate fat droplets, which appear to make them more aggressive and increase their ability to sp

How did we end up here? What do we do to get out of it? In climate research, it is important to understand how the world works if we are to change our behaviour and prevent future catastrophes. Researchers use mathematical formulas to try and visualise reality, in order to find out what changes we need to make. “We build models in an attempt to represent nature’s behaviour using mathematical equat

Around the world, coastal communities are exposed to the impacts of climate change, for example sea level rise and coastal erosion. But local governments are often politically and economically constrained in their abilities to implement timely and needed adaptation measures. These constraints can restrict adaptation options to practices that are too little and too late, or even result in measures

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases. A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden has now proposed guidelines to reduce the number of emergency and unplanned medical v

Studies of fat cells can help increase the knowledge of how weight loss treatments affect individuals with obesity. But fat cells are difficult to study because they are fragile and prone to break easily. Diabetes researcher Karin Stenkula receives a new grant for a project which will use new technique to study how fat cells are affected in connection with weight loss. Diabetes researcher Karin St

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. By studying identical twins, researchers from Lund University in Sweden have identified mechanisms that could be behind the development of type 2 diabetes. This may explain cases where one identical twin develops type 2 diabetes. The study involved 14 pairs of identical twins in Sweden and Denmark. One twin had type 2
