I en ny nationell registerstudie från Lunds universitet har forskare studerat kopplingen mellan prostatacancer och infertilitet. Studien som publiceras i the British Medical Journal omfattar över en miljon svenska män. – Män som söker sjukvård för barnlöshet och assisterad befruktning visade sig ha högre risk för prostatacancer än de som har blivit pappor på naturlig väg, säger Yvonne Lundberg Giw

Internationella kvinnodagen vid Lunds universitet uppmärksammades med en halvdag på temat ”150 år med kvinnor i akademin – föregångare, förebilder, utmaningar.” Intresset var stort och LUX-aulan fylldes snabbt av kvinnor och några män från universitetet och utanför. Vicerektor Anki Wallengren hälsade alla välkomna till 150-års-firandet av att kvinnor tilläts studera vid högre utbildning i Sverige.

Personer som besökt en psykiatrisk akutmottagning minst fem gånger på ett år utgör en liten men komplex patientgrupp. Såväl personerna själva som vårdpersonalen vittnar om behov att få hjälp att få till en fungerande vardag och därmed kunna minska det psykiatriska lidandet. Manuela Schmidt, som nyligen disputerat på ämnet vid Lunds universitet, ser ett måste i en integrerad vårdmodell som utgår fr

119 000 personer har på torsdagen laddat ned och använt appen COVID Symptom Tracker. Appen används i en forskningsstudie på Lunds universitet för att förstå och kartlägga covid-19 i Sverige. - Våra preliminära beräkningar är att 1,5-3,5 procent av den svenska befolkningen i åldern 18-70 år just nu har en symtombild som överensstämmer med covid-19, vilket innebär att de sannolikt skulle få diagnose

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply.   Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

With each day that passes, I become more impressed by this organisation. In the early spring, we came out of the pandemic (well, not completely, but there was at least a loosening of restrictions that were paralysing society) to be met by a new uncertainty, which since then has unsettled us and caused anxiety – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Just as when the pandemic struck, Lund University showed

Offenders sentenced to forensic psychiatric care do not consider their mental illness to be the main reason for their crime. Instead, they point to abuse, poverty or anger toward a particular person. This is shown in a new doctoral thesis by Pontus Höglund, PhD student at Lund University in Sweden, and ethics coordinator within forensic psychiatry in Skåne. Pontus Höglund has conducted interviews

“Thy throne rests on mem’ries from great days of yore, when worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon...” is the translation of the words of the Swedish national anthem, which tries to construct a memory of a glorious national past. This type of attempt is not unusual, nor is its opposite – the suppression or alteration of shameful events. “We like to think that history is set in stone. However, it is

När vanliga allergimediciner inte hjälper, kan vissa allergiska personer få immunterapi – ”allergivaccination”. Behandlingen pågår i flera år och är krävande, särskilt för dem som varje gång måste ta sig till en allergimottagning för att få sin spruta. Nu undersöker forskare vid Lunds universitet om man tidigt kan identifiera vilken effekt behandlingen tros kunna få – och därmed ringa in de person

Förstfödda löper lägre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke än sina syskon – om antalet syskon inte överskrider tre, för då är det tvärtom. Och personer utan syskon har högre risk för hjärtinfarkt och stroke senare i livet jämfört med de som har syskon. Det visar en ny befolkningsstudie från Lunds universitet som publicerats i BMJ Open. – Att veta hur många syskon en individ har och om hen är äldst el
