Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed an algorithm that combines data from a simple blood test and brief memory tests, to predict with great accuracy who will develop Alzheimer's disease in the future. The findings are published in Nature Medicine. Approximately 20–30% of patients with Alzheimer's disease are wrongly diagnosed within specialist healthcare, and diagnostic work-up

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. The more sugar we eat, the less vitamins and minerals we consume, new findings from Lund University in Sweden show. However, the researchers behind the study do not believe that their results alone are enough to make changes to current dietary recommendations. High sugar intake has been associated with numerous diseas

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

EAT-Lancet-kosten är en modell för hur det globala livsmedelssystemet ska förhålla sig till planetens begränsningar samtidigt som folksjukdomar som typ 2-diabetes kan förebyggas. Men hur ska vi veta om dieten verkligen fungerar? Genom att studera sju kostindex har ett internationellt forskarlag funnit att två av dem är särskilt bra på att utvärdera följsamhet till kosten. Välfungerande kostindex b

When planning for food in times of crisis – what foodstuffs do we imagine? Many think of tin cans and freeze-dried food, but the fact is that if a crisis occurs, it is not stockpiled cans that will save us. Food preparedness is a subject being taken up by researchers from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Almedalen Week, one of their reflections being  how local growing of crops that do not need

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Just like self-driving cars, we can expect autonomous ships to become more common in the coming years. However, two safety challenges which need to be solved along the way, and which are different for ships compared to cars, are navigation without GPS and remote control. In his research, Mårten Lager has developed use

New blood tests for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease are making early diagnosis increasingly feasible. However, the fact that the markers being measured change long before any symptoms develop represents a challenge. Research led by Lund University in Sweden shows that a previously unused blood marker, when combined with those markers already in use, can significantly reduce the risk of misleading d

More than half of teenage girls experienced heavy bleeding and 40 per cent had an iron deficiency. The research, led from Lund University in Sweden, also shows that young teenage girls who experience heavy menstrual bleeding – and are therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency – can be identified using a simple questionnaire. As many as half of the teenage girls in the study published in PLOS On

Delving into the realm where light and matter converge, Mattias Bertolino's embarks on a theoretical exploration of photoionization. Focusing on multiphoton ionization of noble gas atoms, using a mixture of extreme-ultraviolet and infrared light, he explores the intricate interplay between light and matter. He aims to improve our understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matt
