Liver examinations without needles

How is your liver doing? Decades of research into the use of magnet resonance imaging is now being put to work to gain information about patients’ livers – without needles.

Training in ACT for medical personnel reduces the need for sick leave

Medical care personnel in primary care have been trained in a form of therapy known as ACT. This enables them to make medical decisions on firmer grounds. The training has led to a 21% reduction in sick leave for their patients.

DNA networks in research into autoimmune renal diseases

Daniel Appelgren is investigating a type of renal disease in which the immune system attacks and damages the kidneys. He has been awarded a grant of SEK 1.25 million from the Ingrid Asp Foundation to carry out renal research at LiU.
