Patients born with heart defects experience their first acute heart attack at a significantly earlier age than others. This is shown by a new national study from Lund University in Sweden. However, despite this earlier onset of illness, there is no difference in survival rates or the risk of further heart attacks between those with congenital heart defects and others. The study includes 214 patien

One in three patients is asked about their lifestyle habits when they visit the outpatient healthcare clinics. This figure really ought to be higher, according to Professors Hanne Tønnesen and Inger Kristensson Hallström, who are in charge of the WHO Collaborating Centre at Lund University.

Where, how often, and how much it is going to rain or snow in the future is difficult to predict. Anders Ahlström studies the importance of precipitation for ecosystems on Earth – and contributes with new knowledge in a complex and fraught area. Across the world, researchers are in agreement on future warming patterns. However, future precipitation is more difficult to predict, and climate models

The results of the election in September may have an impact on academic freedom and the independence of universities from political power. The principle of keeping an arm's length between politics and higher education and research is increasingly being called into question. “I think we are currently in a situation in which the most important thing is not for universities to receive more money, but
