Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is often difficult, as several other conditions can cause similar symptoms. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered a blood marker that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s in the early stages of the disease. ‟This is a major breakthrough. I believe this blood test ca

In this series, we continue our reporting on the timeline of surgical treatment of late stage osteoarthritis. Today we meet Sven, who has had problems with pain and limited mobility in one of his knees for several years. After visiting his primary care health center, Sven received physical therapy and has been doing exercises at home, carefully following instructions. He has also received several

Shovels, brushes and dusty excavations sites? For many people this is what comes to mind when they think of archeology. But the field has developed at an unprecedented pace during the last few decades, and now includes tools and methods such as 3D modelling, spatial analysis and even laser cameras mounted on drones. Nicolo Dell'Unto, researcher at Lund University, is part of a growing number of ar

On Monday, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a new report on how climate change is impacting nature and people worldwide, and on the necessity for adaptation. According to the researchers, more than three billion people live in environments that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the same applies to many species. The researchers establish that thos

Metal joining remains an essential yet challenging process in manufacturing, particularly for components with small dimensions, multiplex, delicate geometries, or dissimilar metals, where conventional joining methods can be insufficient. In a recent study, researchers introduce Gas Actuated Bonding (GAB), a novel method that establishes a new framework for controllable, flexible metal joining. Joi

A new thesis explores the effects of loss and damage associated with climate change in small-scale tropical fisheries—a sector at the frontline of climate change impacts and crucial to sustaining livelihoods, way of life, and food security. With Martinique (France) as a case study, the research shows that loss and damage must be understood as a complex and contextual multidimensional issue—one tha

It is not easy to be an urban planner. Cities must be built more densely because surrounding agricultural land and nature must be protected – while at the same time health requirements are high. Over a period of five years researchers at Lund University in Sweden, have closely studied densification plans in three cities and found keys to solving this difficult equation.

Researchers at Lund University have validated a blood-based method for measuring circulating tumor DNA in patients with early breast cancer. The method was able to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of recurrence and detect molecular signs of relapse before the disease became clinically visible using today’s standard methods.

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
