Healthcare consolidation is a global trend aimed at increasing efficiency in the face of rising costs and declining rural populations. A recent study examines the effects of maternity ward closures in Sweden from 1990 to 2004 on maternal and neonatal health, as well as the associated birth technology choices and travel distances to wards. The research reveals a complex set of outcomes.“Maternal tr

A commercially available blood test has now been trialled in routine healthcare. “The blood test showed about 90% reliability even in primary care. This may have major implications for all those individuals who seek help for memory loss and suspected Alzheimer’s,” say the researchers at Lund University in Sweden behind the study. Alzheimer’s disease affects one in five women and one in ten men ove

How might low-grade inflammation be linked to depression? New research findings show that depression can be alleviated when patients with mild elevations of inflammatory markers in blood samples take omega-3 supplements. The antidepresssant effect was greater in those with low-grade inflammation than in those with no inflammation. “We saw a significant improvement in symptom severity,” says resear

Antibodies are the body's superheroes, recognizing and eliminating disease-causing substances. By combining parts from antibodies, researchers at Lund University have designed a hybrid antibody that better stimulates the immune system against both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and streptococcal bacteria. Antibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely

In type 2 diabetes, the body's ability to release insulin is impaired, which leads to high blood glucose levels. Research led from Lund University shows how the levels of a particular protein are elevated in the pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes. By knocking out the gene for the protein IGFBP7, the researchers discovered that insulin secretion was improved. Reduced insulin secretion leads to

Småskaliga kärnkraftverk är under utveckling och kan få en betydande roll för Sveriges framtida energiförsörjning. Fler kärnkraftverk kräver utökad krisberedskap för att hantera kärnkraftsolyckor. Nu utreder forskare vid Lunds universitet förutsättningarna för svensk kärnenergiberedskap. Små modulära kärnreaktorer (SMR) blir en allt mer realistisk del i att göra Sveriges energisystem fossilfritt.

En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att förändrad markanvändning inte bara minskar antalet insekter – den ökar även risken för inavel bland svenska fjärilar. Detta gäller särskilt arter med specifika krav på livsmiljöer, vilket kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för deras långsiktiga överlevnad. I sin doktorsavhandling har Zachary J.
