A risk assessment system developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows which patients, with a certain type of streptococcal bacteria in the blood, need to be examined for a heart valve infection – a serious condition requiring prolonged medical treatment. “Our assessment system can help reduce unnecessary examinations of low-risk patients”, says Torgny Sunnerhagen, one of the researc

In addition to memory problems and other cognitive symptoms, most people with Alzheimer’s disease also suffer from mental health issues. It has long been unclear whether these occur because of tissue changes in the brain, or whether they represent psychological reactions to cognitive symptoms. A study from Lund University in Sweden has provided new insight, and is published in Biological Psychiatr

A large study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that people with Alzheimer's disease can now be identified before they experience any symptoms. It is now also possible to predict who will deteriorate within the next few years. The study is published in Nature Medicine, and is very timely in light of the recent development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease. It has long been known that t

Around 80% of people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s disease, often when they are between 40 and 50 years old. A study led by Lund University in Sweden has shown that a simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s disease in people with Down syndrome with a high degree of certainty. The findings are important for several reasons, not least the ability to make a correct diagnosis without invasiv

Förutom minnessvårigheter och andra kognitiva symptom lider de flesta som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom också av psykiska besvär. Länge har det varit oklart om dessa uppstår på grund av vävnadsförändringarna i hjärnan, eller om de utgör psykologiska reaktioner till följd av de kognitiva symptomen. En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime
