Under de senaste åren har såväl forskare vid Lunds universitet som flera andra internationella forskargrupper framgångsrikt publicerat nya rön kring tidig och korrekt diagnostik av demenssjukdomar. Men fortsatt tar diagnostiken lång tid och kräver dyr och avancerad teknik. Nu har lundaforskarna utvecklat en prognostisk algoritm som väger samman enklare blodprov med snabba minnestester för att med
Psykiska och kognitiva symtom kommer tidigt vid Huntingtons sjukdom och är ofta de svåraste symtomen i sjukdomen, vittnar berörda. Ändå har forskningen, i sin jakt på behandling, främst fokuserat på sjukdomens rörelsestörningar, ett senare symtom. Ny forskning visar att känslohjärnan påverkas tidigare i sjukdomsförloppet och därför bör ges mer fokus vid utvecklingen av nya behandlingar. Artikeln p

Chefer lider allt oftare av psykisk ohälsa vilket i sin tur även påverkar organisationernas välmående. Ny forskning pekar på att reflekterande samtal med fokus på chefernas hälsa kan vara en viktig åtgärd för att hantera denna ökande problematik. – Chefer behöver bekräftelse på att deras mående är av stor betydelse för organisationen. Deras roll, med ansvar för verksamheten och övriga medarbetare,

In accidents or terror attacks which are suspected to involve radioactive substances, it can be difficult to determine whether people nearby have been exposed to radiation. But by analysing mobile phones and other objects which come in close contact with the body, it is possible to retrieve important information on radiation exposure. This has been shown by a new thesis from Lund University in Swe

Edouard Berrocal, a researcher in combustion physics at Lund University, has been awarded one of the most prestigious grants available to young researchers: an ERC Starting Grant. The grant is worth EUR 1.5 million and will enable him to spend the next five years investigating what happens in the crucial moment at the start of combustion when the liquid fuel is injected into the chamber and vapori

We should not be afraid to joke about one another’s ethnic background. Used with sensitivity, such jokes can instead help to challenge the stereotypical image of immigrants, according to Lund University sociologist Henriette Frees Esholdt, who has studied humour at a multi-ethnic workplace in Denmark.

Early diagnosis is key to receiving proper care and advancing research on future therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy bodies. New research from Skåne University Hospital and Lund University shows that combining a simple smell test with advanced spinal fluid analysis can predict these diseases with high accuracy, while sparing nearly half of patients f

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus

Förutom minnessvårigheter och andra kognitiva symptom lider de flesta som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom också av psykiska besvär. Länge har det varit oklart om dessa uppstår på grund av vävnadsförändringarna i hjärnan, eller om de utgör psykologiska reaktioner till följd av de kognitiva symptomen. En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime
