Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat ett digitalt kognitivt test för diagnostisering av Alzheimers sjukdom, avsett att användas i primärvården. – Med det digitala testet, som patienten genomför själv, förbättras primärvårdsläkares möjlighet att tidigt i utredningsskedet avgöra vem som bör undersökas vidare genom blodprov för alzheimerpatologi, säger professor Oskar Hansson som lett studien

Allt fler svenska tatuerar sig och Sveriges befolkning är nu en av de mest tatuerade i Europa. Samtidigt ökar förekomsten av melanom. En ny epidemiologisk studie från Lunds universitet, tyder på att tatueringar kan vara en riskfaktor för melanom. Forskningsläget kring tatueringar och cancerMot bakgrund av det dåliga kunskapsläget kring långsiktiga hälsoeffekter av tatueringar, tillsammans med att

Idag vet forskarna det mesta om vilka gener som gör att vi föds med just vår blodgrupp. Däremot är inte mycket känt om vad som styr mängden blodgruppsmolekyler hos personer med samma eller liknande blodgrupp. Och det kan spela roll för transfusionssäkerheten. Nu har en forskargrupp i Lund utvecklat ett verktyg som ger svar – och på kuppen löst en 50-årig blodgåta. Studien där det bioinformatiska v

Inom hälso- och sjukvården används kostindex för att bedöma om en person har ohälsosamma matvanor. Kostindex hjälper forskare att bedöma hur graden av följsamhet, det vill säga i vilken utsträckning vi följer en viss diet, påverkar hälsan. Tillförlitliga kostindex är även viktiga för att myndigheter ska kunna utveckla hållbara näringsrekommendationer. Ett internationellt forskarlag har studerat sj

Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower yields than conventional farming. Studies led by Lund University now show that the yield difference between organic and conventional farming is smaller than previously thought, but the yields are still significantly smaller than fo
