This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), dopamine-producing nerve cells that control our movements waste away. Current treatments for PD therefore aim at restoring dopamine contents in the brain. In a new study from Lund University, researchers are attacking the problem from a different angle, through early activation of a protei
3D-mammography reduces the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed in the period between routine screenings, when compared with traditional mammography, according to a large study from Lund University in Sweden. The results are published in the journal Radiology. “Our results indicate that 3D-mammography, or digital breast tomosynthesis, possibly detects cancers that would otherwise have been diag

Numerous studies have suggested that eating a healthy diet may reduce a person’s risk of dementia. A new study from one of MultiPark's research groups, published in Neurology, sheds new light on the impact of having a Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet includes a high intake of vegetables, legumes, fruits, fish and healthy fats such as olive oil, and a low intake of dairy products, meats a

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ

Personer med neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, såsom kognitiva sjukdom och personer med Parkinson, går långsammare, tar kortare steg och har en ökad variabilitet i sin gång än kognitivt friska. Detta är några aspekter som berörs i Magnus Lindh-Rengifos avhandlingsarbete. Att gå är alltså mycket mer komplicerat än man kanske tror. Och det finns flera sätt att bedöma gång inom forskningen. Man kan fokuse

Mellan 2003 och 2019 har nästan en fjärdedel av Sveriges sista gamla oskyddade naturliga skogar försvunnit. Med nuvarande skövlingstakt kommer dessa ekologiskt värdefulla skogar att vara borta om 50 år. Det visar en studie av bland andra forskare från Lunds och Umeå universitet. En mindre del av Sveriges oskyddade produktiva skogar består av gammal skog som sannolikt aldrig tidigare kalhuggits. De
