Antiinflammatoriska livsmedel kan minska risken för typ 2 diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. På köpet förbättrades minnet hos de deltagarna som under fyra veckor åt en specialkomponerad kost med bland annat fet fisk, blåbär och mandel. – Resultaten är över förväntan. Jag vill påstå att det inte finns någon tidigare studie med liknande effekter på friska försökspersoner. Vår kostportfölj minskar flera

Death in the form of a skeleton with a scythe is a familiar figure of dread, but death and dying do not have to be frightening. “Death does not have to be marked by fear; it can just as often be characterised by calm and quiet. There can be a lot of joy even during the last days of a person’s life!” Carl Johan Furst. These are the words of Professor Carl Johan Fürst, head of the new Palliative Car

If you look carefully at Niclas Nilsson’s hands and arms, you can still see the scars from all the injections he has received through the years for his haemophilia, although they have faded considerably since January 2020. That was when he got his last injection. Indeed, since his treatment with gene therapy, Niclas has not needed a single injection. Niclas Nilsson comes from a family of haemophil

Den största utmaningen med invasiva växter är inte parkslide, blomsterlupin, kanadagullris och andra ”värstingar” som redan finns här. Ett större problem är de många fler nya arter som importeras varje år av en modestyrd trädgårdsbransch. Det menar växtforskaren Torbjörn Tyler som föreslår importkontroll på EU- och Sverige-nivå. Idag finns ingen reglering alls. Vem vill inte ha snygga och lättsköt

14 november är Världsdiabetesdagen, för första året också med FN stöd. Orsaken är att FN klassar diabetes som ett lika stort hot mot hälsan i världen som HIV/AIDS, malaria och TBC. Datumet 14 november är valt därför att det är insulinets upptäckare Frederick Bantings födelsedag. diabetesportalen.se berättar den historiska sannsagan om Banting och insulinets upptäckt.

Var fjärde kvinna drabbas varje år av illaluktande flytningar från slidan, bakteriell vaginos. Idag behandlas detta med antibiotika, men nyligen har ett skonsammare, antibiotikafritt alternativ godkänts för försäljning inom EU. Bakom innovationen står en grupp Lundaforskare – som gjorde upptäckten av en slump. Sveda, klåda och illaluktande flytningar är både ett vanligt och ett stigmatiserat tills

Petra Holmberg, postdoc in medical law at the Faculty of Law, won the Research Grand Prix competition in Helsingborg on 7 October. In front of an audience of over 500 secondary school students, she presented her research on the risks of 80 per cent of Gen Z using chatbots to manage stress or anxiety. “It’s not surprising, AI feels simple and safe.

The question of how small, dwarf galaxies have sustained the formation of new stars over the course of the Universe has long confounded the world’s astronomers. An international research team led by Lund University in Sweden has found that dormant small galaxies can slowly accumulate gas over many billions of years. When this gas suddenly collapses under its own weight, new stars are able to arise

What do human remains really have to do with a museum? When Lund University closed the Department of Anatomy of 1995, its collection of human remains was transferred to the Historical Museum. Now, the museum wants to conduct a proper review of the collection in order to communicate more about it. Human remains in a museum context awaken many feelings. As recently as last year, Lund University hand

I projektet Barnmorska hela vägen följer studenterna samma kvinna från inskrivningssamtalet till förlossning och eftervård. Kontinuiteten blir en trygghet för den blivande föräldern och ger större förståelse hos barnmorskestudenterna för allt som föräldrar går igenom under en graviditet. Lärarlaget hoppas att vårdmodellen blir barnmorskeprogrammets profil i framtiden. Daniela Wolfe känner varsamt

Ethnologist Susanne Lundin’s research is ultimately about life and death and how people relate to the inevitable. What are people willing to do to delay the end briefly? Is there a limit beyond which someone ceases to be human? Susanne Lundin is a professor at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences and has conducted interdisciplinary research with medics for 30 years. Today, she is a sought-

Somewhere in an abandoned chalk quarry in northeastern Skåne lurks the skeleton of an 84 million-year-old dinosaur. A group of geologists is convinced of it. Now that a number of teeth have been found, the treasure hunt has intensified. The September sun blazes over the extensive chalk quarry outside the Skåne village of Vinslöv. On a little ledge near a bright blue pond stand two geology research

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?

In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk.
