Precision medicine seeks to reduce errors and improve accuracy in medical and health recommendations, but better evidence is needed to fulfil its potential. An international consortium led by Paul Franks at Lund University presents new guidelines that may increase the clinical relevance of precision medicine research. An international consensus report on precision medicine that was published in Na

A new study tracking three decades of municipal data challenges a common narrative, finding that while some state services have become more centralised, rural areas have not experienced larger declines in public employment than cities. In several key welfare services, rural municipalities have even strengthened their position. The idea that rural communities are being abandoned by the public secto

The frustration with not being able to contribute to the difficult situation surrounding the covid-19 pandemic led researchers at LUPOP to launch a matchmaking initiative. Their idea is to help researchers with clinical background, now needed in healthcare, by supporting their research and application work. As COVID-19 spreads throughout the world, public interest in epidemiology has increased sig

Opioids work against severe pain but the risks of side effects and addiction are high. In the USA alone, 26 people die every day from overdoses. Now researchers in an international collaboration have investigated how common opioid prescriptions are for osteoarthritis patients in Sweden. It emerged that every fourth patient was prescribed opioids at some point between November 2014 and October 2015

Exercise is an important part of the treatment for those who have osteoarthritis. But even before one is affected by osteoarthritis, in this case knee osteoarthritis, different types of exercise can be more or less advantageous, depending on how much muscle mass is around the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by pain and limited mobility in the joint. The disease can lead
