Onödiga undersökningar av barn med affektanfall

Affektanfall är vanliga hos små barn och är ofarliga. Ändå genomgår barn ofta omotiverade undersökningar när de söker sjukvård. Anledningen är att det saknas både nationella och internationella riktlinjer hur dessa barn ska utredas. Nu har ett forskarteam på Lunds universitet lagt fram förslag på riktlinjer, för att barnen ska få färre akuta och oplanerade sjukvårdskontakter och i stället ett mer

Proteinet som skyddar insulinproducerande celler

Mycket diabetesforskning handlar om att förstå vad som händer när de insulinproducerande cellerna förstörs. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har valt ett annat angreppssätt. Det går ut på att förstå vad som skyddar cellerna. I sin forskning visar de hur ett protein i kroppens immunförsvar skyddar de insulinproducerande cellerna från att inflammeras och dö. Studien är publicerad i PNAS. Även om det f

Ny behandling av åderförfettning kan minska risken för hjärtinfarkt

En behandling som har visat sig minska utvecklingen av åderförfettningsplack hos möss har nu testats på människor med psoriasis. Jan Nilsson vid Lunds universitet är en av forskarna bakom den kliniska studien som visade på en minskad inflammation i kranskärlen, vilket i sin tur kan ge minskad risk för hjärtinfarkt och död hos dessa patienter. Personer med diabetes är ännu en patientgrupp som kan k

Forskning som banar väg för hållbara kostrekommendationer

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

Ekonomihögskolan tar hem dubbel återackreditering – behåller sin ”Triple Crown”

Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet har under sommaren återackrediterats av organisationerna AMBA och EQUIS. Därmed befäster Ekonomihögskolan sin position som en av världens bästa handelshögskolor som genomgått och klarat tre tuffa kvalitetsgranskningar och uppnått ”Triple Crown”-status. Ekonomihögskolan är en av runt 130 handelshögskolor runt om i världen som är trippelackrediterade, som har u

Projekt kring fusk ska hjälpa lärare examinera rätt

Studiefusket ökade med uppåt 200% under covid-åren. I spår av detta har Lunds universitet startat ett projekt för att förebygga vilseledande vid examination (eller fusk som vilseledande kallas till vardags), oavsett om det är otillåtet samarbete, plagiering eller otillåtna hjälpmedel. I varje studerandemiljö finns en unik kultur med gränser för vad som anses acceptabelt och vad som anses oacceptab

Children with breath-holding spells undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions

Breath-holding spells are common in young children and are benign. Yet children often undergo unnecessary diagnostic interventions when seeking medical care. This is because there are no national or international guidelines on how to assess children in these cases. A team of researchers at Lund University, Sweden has now proposed guidelines to reduce the number of emergency and unplanned medical v

Cell-specific Biomarkers in the Blood Reflect What Happens in the Brain During Stroke

By analysing small microvesicles that cells release to communicate with their surroundings in the blood, researchers at Lund University map what happens in the brains of stroke patients. The study published in the scientific journal Stroke expands our understanding of stroke and opens doors to new treatment strategies.
 Ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot in the brain, is the leading cause of

A new explanation for dangerous atherosclerotic plaques in type 2 diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying prematurely due to atherosclerosis. A research team at Lund University in Sweden has now identified molecular mechanisms that may explain the increased risk. Their discovery may lead to more accurate treatments for patients with atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes in the future. People with type 2 diabete

Swedish female ice hockey players in favour of body checking

In 2022, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow body checking in women's ice hockey. Major hockey nations are now following Lund University's research on the consequences of tougher plays on the ice. A first study shows that almost nine out of ten players in the Swedish women's hockey league are in favour of body checking – regardless of their own size. “We found that interesting. T

Young scientists eager to influence policy makers on biodiversity

We need to prioritise nature even if there are other conflicting interests – biodiversity is essential to all of us on the planet and ultimately to our health and wellbeing. The statement comes from Maria Blasi Romero, researcher in Biodiversity and Conservation at Lund University.

Carbon offshoring and manufacturing cleanup

Trade shocks can have various impacts on the economic activities of a country, yet it remains uncertain whether such shocks influence the environmental behaviors of firms. Albert Duodu shows, in a recent investigation, that trade shocks originating from countries with less stringent environmental regulations can spur significant demand for emission-intensive goods from Swedish firms, subsequently

Uncertainty is the new normal for retailers – and consumption researchers

The research areas remain the same, but our perspective on them has changed. This is how consumption researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Emma Samsioe describe the development in retail research over the past ten years. “In one of our recent reports, we call it 'Retail as unusual.' There is no longer a normal state in trade, no 'Business as usual.' Everything has become more uncertain,” says Carys Egan

Everyone must be included in the crisis planning

What happens if there is a power cut and the heating stops working for a long period of time? Besides the obvious consequences – that technology doesn’t work and it gets cold – how do we, as a society, prepare for such a crisis? Do we know who is supposed to do what when it happens? And who gets to decide on the crisis plans? There are many different unexpected and sudden events that can happen. A
