Barn är särskilt känsliga för luftföroreningar. En ny studie visar att förskolebarn i trafiktäta storstadsområden är ute betydligt kortare tid av sin dag på förskolan men riskerar samtidigt att andas in en dubbelt så hög dos av luftföroreningar (partiklar*/minut) jämfört med barn i medelstora och mindre orter. Resultaten av studien som genomförts på tio förskolor i Skåne, såväl storstad som mindre

I mitten av juli meddelade forskarteamet bakom COVID Symptom Study Sverige att de avslutar datainsamlingen. De riktade ett stort tack till alla som bidragit med viktiga data, data som bidragit till forskningsrapporter och möjligheten att följa smittspridningen. Sedan studien lanserades i april 2020 har drygt 208 000 personer i Sverige skickat in fler än 20 miljoner dagsrapporter via appen COVID Sy

En stor andel av de lungor som doneras varje år kan inte användas för transplantation. Forskare vid Skånes universitetssjukhus och Lunds universitet har i en studie på djur nått resultat som ger hopp om att fler donerade lungor ska kunna rädda liv i framtiden. En pilotstudie har nu inletts för att se om behandlingen har samma positiva resultat hos människor. Varje år blir cirka 190 avlidna persone

Att upptäcka tidiga tecken på spelproblem för att kunna identifiera dem som löper risk att utveckla ett beroende och utveckling av preventiva insatser för dem i riskgruppen – det är två exempel på den forskning som under snart ett decennium letts av professor Anders Håkansson. Forskningen har möjliggjorts genom initiativ finansierat av Svenska Spel som de kommande fem åren satsar ytterligare 12,5

An international group of clinicians and scientists, including MIT and Lund University , have analysed how individual genetic changes affect the heart muscle. The researchers have created a new computer tool to integrate genomic and clinical data to enhance medical and surgical decisions to support future therapies for patients with inherited heart disease. The new research was published in NPJ Ge

Cardiovascular and lung disease increase the risk of complications in COVID-19. Therefore, the Heart-Lung Foundation has granted SEK 3.1 million for five research projects at Lund University that will contribute to more knowledge about the effects of COVID-19. One of the researchers, Jonas Erjefält, professor in Medical Inflammation, has been granted SEK 1 million for mapping of immunological dise

Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer. Genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) is an emerging approach for disease treatment. Around 30 Swedish researchers suggest a direction forward in a review article in Journal of Internal Medicine (JIM). "At the moment newborns are screened for a small number of mutations. In the

To counter the effects of antibiotics, bacteria constantly evolve resistance mechanisms. In order to develop new antibiotics that could overcome the resistance, it´s essential to understand its workings. Using so-called cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) researchers at Lund and Hamburg universities have uncovered the molecular details of an important antibiotic resistance mechanism. This is t

First-born children are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than their siblings – provided that the number of siblings does not exceed three; then it is the other way around. And people without siblings have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke later in life compared to those who have siblings. These are among the findings of a new population study from Lund University published in BMJ Op

Up to 20 percent of Swedish couples have difficulty having children. Now a new research project will seek to find the answer to the riddle of infertility. In a group effort to combat involuntary childlessness, researchers within the Öresund collaboration ReproUnion are creating a register that includes 5,000 Swedish and Danish childless couples. The biobank is named ReproUnion Biobank and Infertil

Children who had autoantibodies before falling ill with type 1 diabetes have also had an imbalance in their intestinal flora, previous research shows. In a new study conducted within the framework of a European research network, researchers at Lund University and Region Skåne will investigate whether the ingestion of probiotics from early birth can prevent the development of type 1 diabetes in chi
