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 di

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

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

Med en improviserad hemmastudio, gratis mjukvara och en intensivkurs på nätet i filmredigering kunde lärare ta sitt samhällsansvar och producera digitalt undervisningsmaterial från karantän.

Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utvecklat en teknik för att mäta elektriska signaler från 128 hjärnområden samtidigt hos vakna råttor. Den har de sedan använt för att mäta vad som händer med nervcellerna när råttorna får psykedeliska droger. Resultaten visar på en oväntad och samtidig synkronisering bland nervcellerna i flera områden i hjärnan. Idén om att elektriska svängningar, oscillationer,

Martin Moström, Retail House, kommenterar om behovet av att handeln har en förmåga att förnya sig. Ryktet om den fysiska butikens död är överdriven. Den fysiska butiken har alltid varit under omvandling. När jag började inom dagligvaruhandeln för 20 år sedan fanns det över 3000 ICA butiker i Sverige. Idag finns det drygt 1000 st. Så en omvandling är inget som vi skall bekymra oss över. Det är en f

Bland innovationsforskare finns en utbredd uppfattning att kunskapsintensiva företag frodas bäst i större städer. Men i takt med att nätet byggts ut och människor blivit bättre på att använda det, minskar städernas försprång. Dessutom har landsbygdens trofasta personal som inte hoppar mellan jobb visat sig vara en konkurrensfördel. Det visar samhällsgeografen Hjalti Nielsen i en ny avhandling. Och
