Lymfödem efter huvud- och halscancer, är betydligt vanligare än man tidigare antagit och kan kvarstå länge efter avslutad cancerbehandling. Forskare vid Lunds universitet, har upptäckt att patienter med lägre fysisk aktivitet löper en högre risk att utveckla lymfödem. De har även sett att en lymfscanner objektivt mäter förändringar i tillståndet - en metod som nu har börjat användas i Södra sjukvå

En svensk multicenterstudie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet visar ett samband mellan låg fiberkonsumtion och förekomst av instabila högriskplack i kranskärlen, sådana som kan utlösa propp och orsaka hjärtinfarkt. Studien kopplar också kostmönstret till plackens sammansättning, alltså hur potentiellt farliga de är. Forskarna har med hjälp av avancerad hjärtavbildning, datortomografi, undersö

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. People with type 2 diabetes have epigenetic changes on their DNA that healthy individuals do not have. This has been shown in a major study by researchers at Lund University. The researchers also found epigenetic changes of a large number of genes that contribute to reduced insulin production. “This shows that the ris

How do you measure biodiversity impacts from products and raw materials extracted in very different places around the world? Researcher Carla Coelho from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (MGeo), and colleagues, developed a new way to estimate the impact of mines and quarries - and how much they actually perforate their surroundings habitats. Perforation - human activity that crea

Studying at university can be quite different from many students’ expectations if all teaching is digital. Being a new student in a solely digital learning environment can make it challenging to get to know other students and lecturers, to be part of a social context and to feel a sense of belonging to Lund University, which comes more naturally on campus. There is not a world of difference in ter

It is now possible to test chemicals and makeup without using products isolated from animals. Researchers from Lund have developed a completely animal-free preparation for cell culture, a medium that can be used to grow human cells, including for cancer research. They believe this is a much sought-after breakthrough, as it solves an ethical dilemma, leads to higher scientific accuracy and thus sav

Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone. In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, distr
