That life is not fair is hardly news. But that inequalities are at risk of increasing as we seek to improve the health of the population is perhaps unexpected. Health economics is a way of evaluating the potential health benefits of different interventions, setting them against the economic cost and their impact on society. Over two million people in Sweden are currently living with cardiovascular

Anorexia nervosa is a serious psychiatric disorder for which there are limited treatment options, and it has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric diagnosis. A pilot study is now underway at Lund University in Sweden, where researchers are investigating whether psychedelic drugs have an effect on young patients with the disorder. Ward Five at the adult psychiatric clinic in Lund is

Researchers at Lund University, together with colleagues at the NIST Synchrotron Facility in the USA, have mapped on an atomic level what happens in a virus particle when the temperature is raised. “When the temperature rises, the virus’s genetic material changes its form and density, becoming more fluid-like, which leads to its rapid injection into the cell,” says Alex Evilevitch who led the stud

Have you made adjustments to your garden to make it more welcoming for pollinators? If so, you have probably made a valuable contribution, according to a new study from Lund University.
