Patienter med hjärtinfarkt som får en snabb tilläggsbehandling med blodfettssänkande medicin, har en betydligt bättre prognos än de som får behandlingen sent, eller inte alls. Forskarna bakom studien menar att baserat på resultaten, skulle 100-200 nya hjärtinfarkter, stroke och dödsfall kunna förhindras i Sverige varje år. Kortfakta om studien: Klinisk forskning//Peer review-granskad publikation//

Ett nytt behandlingsalternativ för patienter med den komplexa tumörsjukdomen mantelcellslymfom, ger längre tid till återfall och färre biverkningar. Det visar en ny forskningsstudie från Lunds och Uppsala universitet. Resultaten är så lovande att det nya behandlingsalternativet redan implementerats i de nyligen publicerade riktlinjerna från European Society for Medical Oncology. Mantelcellslymfom

Assessing patients via chat functions is a means for healthcare centres to streamline care, but it requires an entirely new approach to medical evaluation. A study from Lund University shows that nurses need to expand their professional competencies beyond their traditional skills. A significant part of nurses' work in healthcare centres involves assessing patients' medical needs through in-person

Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Jimmie Kristensson, has dedicated a great deal of energy to m

The Swedish Migration Agency should speed up visa processing for international students and researchers – a move that Lund University has eagerly awaited. And more Swedish students should study abroad. These are two of the proposals in the report of the Swedish Government’s commission of inquiry on increased internationalisation at higher education institutions (HEIs). The long processing times at

An international research team led from Lund University, has identified epigenetic biomarkers that can predict which people with type 2 diabetes are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The study is now published in Cell Reports Medicine. People with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to have heart attacks, strokes, anginas and other coronary heart diseases than healthy people. Therefo

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

A lot has happened in coagulation medicine since Jan Astermark first started his research in the 1980s. The most recent progress is in gene therapy and the first patients with severe haemophilia who were treated in Malmö last year. “It is fantastically exciting to work in a research field where so much is happening. The research and the progress in treatment that have taken place in recent decades

Last year was the warmest year on record and 2024 is on track to be even warmer. Democracy is in decline and food insecurity is increasing as a result of military conflicts, economic crises and extreme weather. The ability of the United Nations to act globally is significantly weaker than before owing to the geopolitical situation. This comes at a time when we really need international cooperation

On 12 December, the Government presented the Research and Innovation Bill entitled “Research and Innovation for the Future, Curiosity and Benefit”. An overall assessment of the Bill shows that it is much more challenging for Lund University than any previous Research Bill. It offers great opportunities for many researchers and different types of research, while stearing research more than earlier

LU managed the transition to digital teaching. But the spring Coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on students in Lund. They found the digital exams to be stressful and sometimes unfair. This is what emerges from the student unions’ surveys whose results have now been compiled. In late spring, seven students’ unions sent out seven somewhat different surveys. 1900 students responded. The questi
