Congratulations, Katarina Steding-Ehrenborg, Docent at Lund University! You’re one of six sports researchers who will take part in a two-year development program in which the Swedish Olympic Committee is now investing. What will the investment mean for you? – The support from the SOC means that we can carry out long-term studies on how strenuous exercise affects the heart and thus help make sports

In Sweden, more resources have been allocated to expanding outpatient psychiatric care while the number of inpatient beds is steadily declining. A study by Lund University shows a statistical link between fewer psychiatric beds and higher suicide rates. The study was published in The Lancet Regional Health –Europe. Demand for psychiatric care is rising, and in 2024 the National Board of Health and

Ten Ukrainian medical students, ten supervisors from the Faculty, for ten weeks. Initiator and professor, David Gisselsson Nord, is happy that the pilot project in medical research is up and going. Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine has led to serious disruptions to Ukraine's medical education system. Some universities have suffered extensive destruction and have had to evacuate their campus

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har undersökt samband mellan exponering för PFAS och utveckling av astma. Resultaten visar att bland de barn vars mammor hade mycket hög PFAS-exponering under graviditeten var risken för astma betydligt högre än hos barn vars mammor hade lägre PFAS-exponering. PFAS (per- och polyfluoralkylsubstanser) är en stor grupp av syntetiska ämnen som kan förekomma i många prod

För första gången har forskare kopplat specifika defekter i spermier till graviditetskomplikationer och negativ effekt på barnets hälsa. Studien från Lunds universitet visar att DNA-skador på pappans spermier fördubblar risken för havandeskapsförgiftning för kvinnor som blivit gravida genom IVF. Dessutom ökar risken för barnet att födas för tidigt. Ungefär 20–30 procent av alla barn som föds med h

In a new study, Lund University economic historian Erik Bengtsson debunks the myth that Sweden was destined to become a social democratic country. Instead, he argues that it was actually against all odds, as Sweden in the early 1900s was one of the western world’s most unequal countries – and the least democratic in w

Recently, a new instrument on the four-metre VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile captured its first starlight. This marks the start of a new era in astronomy, where researchers will map the sky in unprecedented detail. The instrument, called 4MOST (Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope), does not take ordinary images of the night sky. Instead, it collects spectra or colour
