Neuroscientists and stem cell researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed a research model that allows studying human hippocampal neurons, the brain cells primarily affected by Alzheimer’s disease pathology. The study has been published in Stem Cell Reports. In Alzheimer’s disease the hippocampus, a brain structure that regulates motivation, emotion, learning, and memory, is severely a

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a new method to treat human herpes viruses. The new broad-spectrum method targets physical properties in the genome of the virus rather than viral proteins, which have previously been targeted. The treatment consists of new molecules that penetrate the protein shell of the virus and prevent genes from leaving the virus to infect the cell. It

A new blood test demonstrated remarkable promise in discriminating between persons with and without Alzheimer’s disease and in persons at known genetic risk may be able to detect the disease as early as 20 years before the onset of cognitive impairment, according to a large international study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and simultaneously presented at

Under 2022–2023 ökade matpriserna i Sverige med 25 procent. Men det var inte bara hushållens plånböcker som drabbades hårt av prishöjningarna – utan också folkhälsan. Svenska konsumenter åt mindre kostfiber, frukt och grönt, enligt en ny rapport från Lunds universitet. Texten nedan publicerades ursprungligen av Amanda Lindström som ett pressmeddelande på Lunds universitets svenska webbplats den 29

Ekonomihögskolan, LTH och Sparbanken Skåne grundar ett gemensamt centrum för hållbar näringslivsutveckling vid Lunds universitet. Sparbanken Skåne bidrar med 25 miljoner kronor och Lunds universitet medfinansierar med flera miljoner kronor. Redan till hösten ska centrumbildningen välkomna nya doktorander i olika forskningssamarbeten. I fokus står omställningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle – med

Forsknings­områdena är desamma, men hur vi ser på dem har förändrats. Så beskriver konsumtionsforskarna Carys Egan-Wyer och Emma Samsioe utvecklingen inom handels­forskningen de senaste tio åren. – I en av våra senaste rapporter kallar vi det ”Retail as unusual”. Det finns inget normalläge längre inom handeln, inget ”Business as usual”. Allt har blivit mer osäkert, säger Carys Egan-Wyer, universit

Advances in synthetic control methods bring new opportunities to conduct rigorous research in evaluating public health interventions. However, incorporating synthetic controls in interrupted time series studies may not always nullify important threats to validity nor improve causal inference.

Concerns have been expressed over standards of statistical interpretation. Results with P <0.05 are often referred to as ‘significant’ which, in plain English, implies important. This leads some people directly into the misconception that this provides proof that associations are clinically relevant. Read the paper at https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/49/6/2083/5876177

Standard errors are usually calculated based on assumptions underpinning the statistical model used in the estimation. However, there are situations in which some assumptions of the statistical model including the variance or covariance of the outcome across observations are violated, which leads to biased standard errors.

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are an increasingly popular approach for identifying confounding variables that require conditioning when estimating causal effects. This review examined the use of DAGs in applied health research to inform recommendations for improving their transparency and utility in future research.

Statistical learning methods beyond generalized linear models, such as shrinkage methods or kernel smoothing methods, are being increasingly implemented in public health research and epidemiology because they can perform better in instances with complex or high-dimensional data—settings in which traditional statistical methods fail.

The network will add value to participating cohorts by increasing statistical power and exposure heterogeneity, as well as facilitating cross-cohort comparisons, cross-validation and replication. Our aim is to motivate other cohorts to join the network and encourage the use of the EU Child Cohort Network by the wider research community.

Mediation analysis seeks to explain the pathway(s) through which an exposure affects an outcome. Traditional, non-instrumental variable methods for mediation analysis experience a number of methodological difficulties, including bias due to confounding between an exposure, mediator and outcome and measurement error. Mendelian randomisation (MR) can be used to improve causal inference for mediation
