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

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

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation and spread of the tau protein in the brain. An international study can now show how tau spreads according to four distinct patterns that lead to different symptoms with different prognoses of the affected individuals. The study was published in Nature Medicine. “In contrast to how we have so far interpreted the spread of tau in the
