En stor majoritet rapporterar att de i speciella situationer, exempelvis vid stress, nedstämdhet eller trötthet, får ett ökat sug efter godis, choklad eller annat sött. Nu visar österrikiska forskare att en stunds fysisk aktivitet effektivt dämpar det mest desperata sötsug. I undersökningen deltog 47 överviktiga personer med 28 år som genomsnittsålder. De medgav att de varje dag åt choklad eller g

Var 30:e sekund tvingas en person någonstans i världen amputera sin fot som en komplikation av diabetes. Men enkla åtgärder som skoinlägg, fotvård och regelbundna kontroller skulle kunna halvera antalet amputationer, det visar en kommande studie vid Sahlgrenska akademin i Göteborg. Ortopedtekniska forskare har sedan 2008 studerat fotkomplikationer vid diabetes. Fokus har legat på att skydda fötter

Threats and hate speech from outside are certainly very trying. But could they be even worse when they come from within the organisation? What if you barely dare to go to work because you get threatened – or you are not even allowed in to work because you are accused of threatening someone else? The vice dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Jimmie Kristensson, has dedicated a great deal of energy to m

Around 100 select astronomy books dating from 1545 to 1799 have been relocated from the Astronomy Library to the University Library. LUM was there as the books were packed away, and again, several months later, after they had been quarantined and it was time to catalogue, encapsulate and put them in storage. Next year, the rarest volumes will be digitalised and perhaps even be displayed. Outside A

I Sverige är typ 2 diabetes fortfarande en ovanlig sjukdom bland barn och unga. I andra länder mycket vanligare. Flera studier har visat att sjukdomen för många orsakar allvarliga hälsokonsekvenser och att de kommer tidigt i livet. Den senaste rapporterade är Today-studien som kommer från USA och bygger på 500 typ 2 diabetiker som insjuknade i åldrarna 10 till 17 år. Resultaten baseras på upp till

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har använt mänsklig hjärnvävnad när de testat nya behandlingsstrategier för epilepsi. I en aktuell studie visar forskarna att en specifik neuropeptid har mycket goda antiepileptiska egenskaper. Resultaten kan få betydelse för de patienter med epilepsi som är resistenta mot dagens mediciner. Neuropeptiderna galanin och NPY är signalämnen som i djurförsök visat sig ha

The archaeology team gets up with the sun at five o’clock each morning. They then work for seven hours under the burning sun in the middle of nowhere in Egypt’s desert landscape among venomous scorpions and lizards. They only stop work for lunch and a typical Egyptian chai tea break. “The most common danger is sunstroke – you cannot get away from the sun”, says Maria Nilsson. “But also workplace a

Investigation of a metre-long front flipper, uniquely preserved with fossilized soft tissues, has revealed that the giant ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus was equipped with flow control devices that likely served to suppress self-generated noise when foraging in dimly lit pelagic environments about 183 million years ago. Thus, this visually guided megapredator relied on underwater stealth—or ‘silent s
