Genom synfältsundersökning kan man tidigt upptäcka synförändringar vid diabetes, långt innan det ger utslag vid ögonbottenfotografering som är den metod som används idag. Det visar en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet.  Diabetes ökar kraftigt och ca 382 miljoner personer i världen beräknas ha sjukdomen. Personer med diabetes i bl.a. Sverige ögonbottenfotograferas regelbundet och behandlas med l

Främre korsbandsskada leder ofta till förändrat belastningsmönster och muskelaktivitet som påverkar knäleden. Anna Trulsson, Lunds universitet, har utvecklat ett nytt instrument som upptäcker förändrade belastningsmönster i knäleden på ett sätt som dagens metoder inte gör. Därmed skapas nya förutsättningar för bättre rehabilitering. Det är cirka 7000 personer i åldern 10-64 år årligen i Sverige so

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

The dream of finding the “diabetes gene” is dead. However, partly thanks to Leif Groop – professor and multiple award recipient for his ground-breaking research – we will look at type 2 diabetes in a whole new way in the future. He is now retiring, and in an interview with diabetesportalen.se he looks back on his eventful career in research. The study that since 2006 has been the central hub of th

Vintersäsongens virus har slagit till – och covid-19 är fortsatt en del av vardagen. Men till skillnad från under pandemin har vi nu mer kunskap om hur viruset sprids via utandningsluften. Forskningsresultat från Lunds universitet visar att det räcker med några minuter i samma rum som en smittad person för att själv få viruset. Det är aerosolforskarna vid LTH som ligger bakom studien där virusets
