När astmatikers luftvägar exponeras för kvalster försämras immunresponsen vilket kan leda till ett nedsatt immunförsvar. Personer med förkylningsastma kan då lättare drabbas av sekundära virus- och bakterieinfektioner. Studiens resultat tyder på att astmatiker bör undvika kvalster och att de patienter som dessutom är allergiska mot kvalster bör överväga att genomgå så kallad hyposensibilisering, m

Ett nytt antikroppstest vid covid-19 som utvecklats av forskare vid Lunds universitet har visat hög prestanda i kliniska tester och tillämpning. Antikropparna som mäts är kopplade till det så kallade spikeproteinet (S-protein) hos SARS-CoV-2-viruset som orsakar covid-19. Testet visar på 15 minuter om en person haft sjukdomen, oavsett om man haft symptom eller inte. Till skillnad från andra serolog

24 timmar om dygnet, vecka efter vecka, år efter år. Så många som var tredje typ 1-diabetiker blir utmattade, diabetes burn out. Begreppet är känt, från mängder av personliga vittnesmål och från många forskningsrapporter. Diabetes burnout karaktäriseras av; utmattning, frustration och att inte orka bry sig om den dagliga egenvården. Självklart går detta ut över kontrollen av diabetessjukdomen. För

De små blåsorna som sitter på cellytan har större betydelse för spridning av inflammation och ämnen till andra delar av kroppen än vad man tidigare känt till. – Resultaten förklarar hur inflammation kan spridas så snabbt och slå mot hela kroppens system som den gör vid sepsis. Kroppen har förmåga att skada sig själv mer än vad bakterierna i sig har, säger Heiko Herwald, professor vid Lunds univers

Lund University needs long-term strategies with clear priorities from the faculties of what type of research to invest in, agree the two new pro vice-chancellors Stacey Ristinmaa Sörensen and Bo Ahrén. They also recognise the difficulty of achieving this at a university as comprehensive as Lund. “Our breadth is definitely our strength, but it can also present problems”, says Bo Ahrén. The two new

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces. Now she strikes a blow for gardens in the urban planning. Green spaces, such as parks and allotment gardens, have a major impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing –

Continuity in healthcare can improve health outcomes of patients by ensuring that patient-specific information is not lost in translation between providers, and by improving the appropriate follow-up care. Yet, little is known about how patients cope with the sudden and permanent loss of a main provider in healthcare, such as a primary care practice. The findings in a new PhD thesis from Lund Univ

Extreme differences in flight altitude between day and night may have been an undetected pattern amongst migratory birds – until now. The observation was made by researchers at Lund University in Sweden in a study of great snipes, where they also measured a new altitude record for migratory birds, irrespective of the species, reaching 8 700 metres. Great snipes are shorebirds that breed in Sweden,

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have used a neuropeptide to successfully reduce seizure-like activity in tissue from patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. One challenge facing researchers who study brain diseases is that for understandable reasons it is difficult to obtain human brain tissue for experiments. For that reason, experimental models are used, such as rodent studies, but one p

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have for the first time convincingly shown where in the brain the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s occur. The discovery could potentially become significant to future Alzheimer’s research while contributing to improved diagnostics. In Alzheimer’s, the initial changes in the brain occur through retention of the protein, β-amyloid (beta-amyloid). The process beg

The more times metastasised melanoma has mutated and the patient’s immune system has been activated against the tumour – the better the chances of survival after immunotherapy. This is what emerges from a research collaboration between Lund University in Sweden and Herlev university hospital in Denmark. The findings are now published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. Using the body’

Properly managed, the agricultural sector in Europe can contribute to many of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving food security, reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity. But new research shows that indicators to measure key SDGs such as health and equality are entirely missing from the EU’s most expensive funding scheme. – What gets measured, gets managed. Fro

För drygt 40 år sedan satt Åke Lernmark, då nybliven medicinstudent, på ett extrajobb i ett laboratorium i Umeå och mätte blodsockret på möss. Sedan dess är han fast. - Ja, jag fångades direkt av forskningen, säger Åke Lernmark. Allt mer av hans tid slukades av forskningen, medicinstudierna allt mer en bisak som han med olika knep sökte slippa. Någon examen blev det aldrig.- Ibland tänker jag att
