De bevisade att intensiv blodsockerkontroll avsevärt minskade risken för komplikationer. Det var inte så förvånande men att effekten skulle kvarstå flera år var svårt att förklara. Det kunde handla om ett ”metabolt minn

I sin avhandling i sociologi, som utforskar nya former av arbetsorganisation inom svensk byggindustri, myntar Rasmus Ahlstrand begreppet maskerad bemanning, ett icke-tillåtet sätt att förmedla och använda arbetskraft genom underentreprenörer. Genom att hävda att de lägger ut arbete på entreprenad, maskerar företag att de i själva verket använder principer om bemanning, vilket bland annat innebär a

Det visar en omfattande internationell studie där forskare från Lunds universitet har deltagit. Den positiva effekten går att jämföra med den som till exempel bevarad ängsmark och blommande remsor längs

En tvåstegsmetod för att skilja godartade äggstocksförändringar från elakartad äggstockscancer har nu validerats på nästan 5000 patienter. Med hjälp av ultraljud och matematiska modeller, får läkaren hjälp att dela in patienterna i olika riskgrupper med förslag på åtgärder beroende på riskgrupp och prognos. Detta är ett stort steg framåt mot optimal vård av patienter med äggstockstumörer. Studien

Two issues that have taken up a relatively large part of my time since I became pro vice-chancellor five years ago are the management of research data and IT security. Both were areas in which LU did not really live up to the expectations of a top 100 university. There are, naturally, many points of contact between the areas, and both require a larger element of university-wide solutions than what

Living with bipolar disorder means constantly balancing between extremes – something that can be particularly difficult if the diagnosis is met with silence and stigmatisation. To raise awareness of mental illness and why it concerns us all, including at work, five LTH departments have joined forces and invited speaker Henrik Wahlström.

Many of those who are genetically predisposed to develop atrial fibrillation, which dramatically raises the risk of stroke, can be identified with a blood test. This is shown by new research from Lund University in Sweden. The number of people affected by atrial fibrillation is rising rapidly, partly as a result of the ageing population. Over recent years, a research group at Lund University in Sw

A large amount of lungs donated cannot be used for transplantation. Researchers at Lund Stem Cell Center, Lund University in Sweden and Skåne University Hospital have conducted an animal study bringing hope that more donor lungs could be used in the future. The researchers have launched a pilot study to investigate whether the treatment will have the same positive effects on human beings. About 19
