Svåra besked om sjukdom är inte bara tunga att ta emot. För den som ger beskedet är utmaningarna också stora. Det vittnar 22 djupintervjuade läkare om i en ny studie från Lunds universitet. Studien är publicerad i den vetenskapliga tidskriften Qualitative Health Research.För alla läkare som vill uppnå specialistnivå, är ett av utbildningsmålen att de på ett empatiskt sätt ska kunna lämna svåra bes

Antalet sjukdomsfall orsakade av Leishmania, en parasit som smittar genom bett av sandmyggor som huvudsakligen finns i tropiska och subtropiska områden och i länder kring Medelhavet, har ökat i Sverige. Den allvarligaste formen leder obehandlad oftast till döden. 2019-05-02 – Det är fortfarande en väldigt ovanlig sjukdom här, men antalet fall har mer än fördubblats de sista tio åren. Sjukdomssymto

Att kunna sköta sin hygien, laga en bit mat och råda sig själv i sitt hem är exempel på delaktighet. Men hur enkelt är det att vara delaktig hemma för den som är äldre och lever med ryggmärgsskada? I sin avhandling belyser arbetsterapeuten och forskaren Lizette Norin vikten av tillgänglighet i bostaden. Vid ryggmärgsskada finns det i princip ingen bot. Den som drabbas får nedsatt känsel och muskel

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a slowly progressing form of blood cancer that attacks the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. The condition requires lifelong treatment that can cause severe side effects. Rebecca Warfvinge maps stem cells in patients in the hope of identifying predictive markers for how the patient will react to therapy. She has now received an award of USD 20,000 from the

Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the body’s own substances, and it is unclear why the immune system allows for the devel
