There has been great and broad interest in the University’s international assistant professor (associate senior lecturer) positions and visiting professorships. In total, the University received 1,326 applications and the first selection phase has been completed. In October the top candidates began to arrive in Lund to present their research in tough competition. The call for applications referred
Since 2005, the guidelines for the care of unconscious cardiac arrest patients have been to cool the body temperature down to 33 degrees Celsius. A large, randomised clinical trial led by Lund University and Region Skåne in Sweden has shown that this treatment does not improve survival. The study is published in the New England Journal of Medicine. “These results will affect the current guidelines
