Professor Martin Englund, founder of The Arthritis Portal, has recently been elected and assumed the position of President of the international organization Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). It is the leading international organization for osteoarthritis research with members from more than 50 different countries.OARSI regularly holds conferences where research from around the
We had the opportunity to speak with Emma Einarsson and Pernilla Peterson. Both are licensed hospital physicists and doctors of medical science. They work in the Imaging and Function department at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, where they support the MRI operations. Their tasks include safety, development, education, and research.Osteoarthritis research is conducted in various ways and through

Can fat injections relieve knee osteoarthritis? Knee osteoarthritis is a common and painful joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Researchers are constantly looking for new treatments to relieve pain and improve the quality of life for those affected. A new study has investigated whether a single injection of the body's own fat, called microfragmented adipose tissue, can be an e
Scientists have long tried to understand the connection between osteoarthritis, our most common joint disease, and cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure. Previously, it was believed that osteoarthritis simply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to reduced physical activity due to joint pain and obesity. But new findings suggest that something much deepe
Can you tell us a little about your research area? How would you describe your work?I am primarily a clinician and my research questions emerge from what I encounter in everyday life with my patients. The interest in arthrosis in particular was awakened through my work with patients who have wrist arthrosis. I saw that there was a lack of studies comparing the outcome of wrist arthroplasty versus

Can you tell me a little about your research area?I research diseases and conditions of the hip joint that affect children but can also cause pain and osteoarthritis in adulthood. One example is hip dysplasia, where the acetabulum does not sufficiently cover the femoral head. Hip dysplasia occurs in 0.5-1% of newborns in Sweden and is almost always detected at the maternity ward. When diagnosed ea

Can you tell us a little about your research area?My research spans the lifespan. We investigate prevention and treatment and use joint damage as a risk factor for osteoarthritis. We conduct studies from young people with injury or risk of injury to older people with osteoarthritis and focus on exercise.Can you tell us about your current research projects?I-PROTECT is a project that deals with pre

When we think of dinosaurs, we often imagine majestic giants that ruled the Earth millions of years ago. But even these ancient creatures were not immune to diseases familiar to humans today, such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is relatively rare in today’s wild mammals (less than 1%) but is not uncommon in domestic or working animals like dogs and horses, as well as in birds, with a prevalence

What role does programming play in physics teaching? Can programming be used to teach physical concepts? In his dissertation, Kim Svensson examines how the movement between formula, code and visualisation can contribute to learning in physics. In the future, Kim hopes that programming can be used in a more open way, where students have the opportunity to explore their own models and ideas in a new

The lab that will take us closer to the aviation fuel of the future has now opened. The Jet Engine Lab at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) makes it possible to conduct full-scale studies on how engines are affected by new fuels – knowledge that will become increasingly important when fossil-based aviation fuels are phased out and replaced by more sustainable alternatives. The Jet Engine Lab is at

“If we succeed, this could be a method that helps find materials to build quantum computers that can withstand higher temperatures, with the possibility of fast operations,” says Mathieu Gisselbrecht. This is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that can best be described as an ensemble of particles for which the quantum state of each individual particle cannot be described independently of the state o

Physics researchers at Lund University in Sweden recently succeeded in constructing small solar radiation-collecting antennas – nanowires – using three different materials that are a better match for the solar spectrum compared with today’s silicon solar cells. As the nanowires are light and require little material per unit of area, they are now to be installed for tests on satellites, which are p
