Simon Boas, who wrote a candid account of living with cancer, passed away on July 15 at the age of 47. In a recent BBC interview, the former aid worker told the reporter: “My pain is under control and I’m terribly happy – it sounds weird to say, but I’m as happy as I’ve ever been in my life.”It may seem odd that a person could be happy as the end draws near, but in my experience as a clinical psyc

We interviewed a dietician to find out more about if and how your diet might affect your OA. Whether a certain diet can make a difference or even make It better when it comes to osteoarthritis (OA) is a question that has been asked several times. We spoke to a dietician called Erik Jönsson who works at several health centers in region Skåne. He has met patients with OA many times, even if that’s o

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder for which there are limited treatment options, and it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric diagnosis. A pilot study is now underway at Lund University in Sweden, where researchers are investigating whether psychedelic drugs have an effect on young patients with the disorder. Ward Five at the adult psychiatric clinic in Lund is

Compared with other migratory birds, the common swift follows a very unusual pattern when it migrates from the breeding areas in Europe to its wintering locations south of the Sahara. This is what researchers have observed in a major eleven-year international study of the birds. “Our study is very significant for understanding how organisms, in this case the common swift, can migrate from one part

In a pioneering nano experiment, a research team in Lund has successfully constructed a new and very efficient microwave photon detector. The discovery could accelerate the development of future quantum computers. Microwaves are a collective term for electromagnetic radiation in the higher radio frequency bands; they can be used for everything from warming up fish dishes to searching for extraterr

Is it possible that a single biomarker can detect all types of diseases related to dopamine deficiency in the brain? Yes, that's what a research group in Lund is discovering. "We have observed that an enzyme in cerebrospinal fluid and in blood is a useful marker for identifying all types of Parkinson's-related diseases with high accuracy," says Oskar Hansson, who led the study. The marker in quest

The fact that June’s EU meeting held in Lund had the theme “The Potential of Research Data: How Research Infrastructures Provide New Opportunities and Benefits for Society,” clearly shows the enormous opportunity that research data could represent. Now it is time to make that potential a reality. The University’s research generates increasingly large volumes of data and the need to know where and

The ecological consequences of animal agriculture present an acute challenge for how we legislate to protect cows, pigs, and other farmed animals. Research at the Sociology of Law Department suggests abandoning human-centred perspectives, thus calling for a new paradigm that recognizes the ethical significance of all animals as world-making beings. It has been estimated that about 72 billion land

Research groups in close collaboration in Malmö have shed light on the pathway whereby a common genetic risk variant leads to impaired mitochondrial function of insulin cells. The variant in question impairs the capacity to secrete insulin and increases the risk of developing diabetes. The discovery is published in the highly ranked scientific journal Cell Metabolism. It is widely established that

A great deal of moral courage or a really desperate situation – these are the requirements for someone to disclose state secrets. And life will most certainly never be the same again. This is what emerges from the experiences of the Cold War’s first major defectors, Mr and Mrs Petrov, as from those of Edward Snowden, who will perhaps never be able to return to his homeland without risking severe p
