Idag saknas effektiv läkemedelsbehandling mot svår kronisk andnöd. Ibland behandlar vården med opioidpreparat såsom morfin för att lindra symtomen, men evidensen har varit bristande för om detta hjälper. I en randomiserad fas 3-studie som forskare vid Lunds universitet och ett forskningsnätverk i Australien genomfört, såg man att morfin inte minskade andnöden hos patienterna. Studien publiceras i

Personer med diabetes drabbas oftare av komplikationer i sina händer än övrig befolkning. I sin avhandling som läggs fram vid Lunds universitet har Mattias Rydberg kartlagt diabeteshanden. – Det finns stor anledning både för dem som har diabetes och för vårdpersonal som möter dessa patienter att vara uppmärksamma på handfunktionen. Det är först när handfunktionen krånglar som vi inser hur mycket v

För en tid sedan fick jag frågan ”vad vill Lunds universitet när det gäller AI och forskning?”. Först blev jag lite förvånad och tänkte ska universitetet ha en uttryckt önskan om detta. Men sedan började jag fundera på andra ambitioner vi tydligt uttalat. Vi vill vara ”ett universitet i världsklass”, vi vill ”förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor” och vi vill ”öka vårt in

I alla tider, och över hela världen, har människor tvingats fly på grund av krig, naturkatastrofer eller politisk förföljelse. En individuell men samtidigt kollektiv upplevelse av trauma och nya möjligheter. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har tagit fram digitala verktyg som kan främja fördjupad kontakt mellan lokalsamhällen och tvångsmigranter. Verktygen kan användas av museer och kulturföreningar

With the arrival of spring, bumblebee queens take their first wing beat of the season and set out to find new nesting sites. But they are flying earlier in the year, as a result of a warmer climate and a changing agricultural landscape, according to new research from Lund University in Sweden. “We risk losing additional bumblebee species, and having less pollination of crops and wild plants”, says

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The giant planet Jupiter was formed four times further from the sun than its current orbit, and migrated inwards in the solar system over a period of 700.000 years. Researchers found proof of this incredible journey thanks to a group of asteroids close to Jupiter. It is known that gas giants around other stars are oft

The Polar regions play a crucial role in balancing global climate – with the poles heating up much faster than the rest of the world. Yet, climate projections for the Polar regions still have significant uncertainties. This is hampering efforts to curb climate change and deal with the effects we already see at play not only within the Polar regions, but also in Europe and the rest of the world. Po

As certain tumor cells are able to conceal themselves in the body, it often means that patients with aggressive cancers experience a recurrence of the cancer after treatment. By programming genetically modified killer immune cells to seek and destroy the hiding tumor cells and tumor stem cells, it is hoped that we can develop more effective treatment options. An international research project, wit

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. DPP-4 inhibitors are a group of drugs used to treat type 1 diabetes that lower high blood usgar levels by stimulating insulin production in the body. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have now discovered that DPP-4 inhibitors are also effective against low blood sugar levels. The study, which was carried out on

Down in the basement of the Department of Physics, the now world-famous short laser pulses are fired almost daily. This is home to Sweden’s cutting-edge research in attosecond physics. According to Per Eng-Johnsson, professor in atomic, molecular and optical physics, the research field is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift. The term “DIY” may appear to be an unlikely description of a high-
