At the end of October Laura Duran Lozano successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis. Motivated by the idea of helping patients and families impacted by cancer, and as part of the EU CanFaster Program, she has spent the past four years working to identify predisposing genes for a type of bone marrow cancer known as Multiple Myeloma. In this interview, we learn how her collaborative research efforts hav
In the wake of climate change and an increasingly warmer and drier climate, wildfires are becoming more common. In Ukraine, the war further increases the risk. Already in March this year, fires broke out around Chernobyl. CMES researcher Lina Eklund fears that a dry summer could lead to further fires with catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences. Physical geographer Lina Eklund, wh

Making independent decisions about your body and your life is a big part of being a human being in Sweden today. Part of this is taking care of your sexual health and choosing whether and when to have children. In heterosexual relationships, this is a task that often falls on the person who can get pregnant. The ideal, according to new research, is different and involves an equal distribution of c

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Ökad livslängd och en större andel äldre i Sverige och andra länder leder också till en ökad användning av läkemedel. En ny avhandling från Lunds universitet belyser för första gången på ett mer omfattande vis nyttan av att redan i primärvården jobba strukturerat med äldres läkemedelsintag. Trots olika initiativ för

De senaste åren har de digitala vårdalternativen för patienter med knä- och höftartros ökat kraftigt – inte minst på grund av pandemin. Men hittills har det inte gjorts några studier som har jämfört effekten av de digitala vårdinsatserna med de traditionellt fysiska. I en studie som publiceras i tidskriften JAMA Network Open, har forskare jämfört de två artrosskolorna. Cirka var fjärde person över

Högutbildade föräldrar får nästan 30 procent mer personlig assistans till sina barn med funktionsnedsättning, än lågutbildade föräldrar. Skillnaderna kan bero på att lågutbildade föräldrar har svårare att navigera i systemet och driva igenom sina ärenden, vilket kan leda till ökade skillnader i hälsa och livskvalitet. Under det senaste decenniet har förändringar i regelverket inom LSS (lagen om st

A new research project led by LUCSUS will examine immobility as an adaptation strategy. Through a novel research approach, and field work in different areas affected by sea level rise and erosion, it will shed light on the communities who are unable – or unwilling – to move despite negative effects on their environment. Average sea levels have swelled about 23 cm since 1880, with about 7 cm in the
