Forskargruppen studerar gynekologisk cancer och förebyggande av livmoderhalscancer och benskörhet. Självprovtagning från slidan för HPV-analyser och andra diagnostiska metoder såsom metyleringsanalyser visar lovande resultat för att förebygga livmoderhalscancer. Avseende äggstocks- och livmodercancer letar vi efter biomarkörspaneler och DNA-mutationer i blod för diagnostik och att prediktera prognWe study Gynecological cancer and the prevention of cervical cancer and osteoporosis. We evaluate self-sampling HPV analyses and other diagnostic methods such as methylation analyses in cervical cancer prevention. In ovarian and endometrial cancer, we search for biomarker panels and cell free DNA mutations as diagnostic and predictive markers. We study Quality of Life (QoL) and patient related exp

The Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) was founded in 1994. Riksstroke includes registration of acute stroke, with a follow up after 3 months and 1 year. The Stroke policy and quality register research group has several ongoing projects based on data from Riksstroke, and in many studies also using data record linkage to other national registers and data bases. The thesis of Teresa Ullberg expl

Inhalation therapy treating severe infectious disease is among the more complex and emerging topics in controlled drug release. Micron-sized carriers are needed to deposit drugs into the lower airways, while nano-sized carriers are of preference for cell targeting. Here, we present a novel and versatile strategy using micron-sized spherical particles with an excellent aerodynamic profile that diss

This paper uses data from an observational study, conducted at access points in straight sections of primary roads in Malaysia in 2012, to investigate the effects of motorcyclists' behavior and road environment attributes on the occurrence of serious traffic conflicts involving motorcyclists entering primary roads via access points. In order to handle the unobserved heterogeneity in the small samp

Objectives To ascertain if fetal head position on transabdominal ultrasound is associated with delivery by Cesarean section in nulliparous women with a prolonged first stage of labor. Methods This was a prospective observational study performed at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway, and Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK, between January 2012 and April 2013. Nulliparous pregnant women with a

The surface charging behavior as a function of pH and isoelectric points (IEPs) of single-crystal α-Al2O3 (0001) and (1102) and α-Fe2O3 (0001) was determined by streaming potential measurements using an electrokinetic analyzer. The IEPs of α-Al2O3 (0001) and (11-02)$(1\overline1 02)$ and α-Fe2O3 (0001) were found to be 4.5, 5.1, and 6.5, respectively. These IEP values for oriented single crystals

Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures. It usually develops after an initial insult, such as head trauma or stroke, which triggers the epileptogenic process. During epileptogenesis, the affected brain regions undergo multiple changes in connectivity and gene expression, and among the most affected genes Epilepsy is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by synchronous neuronal activity, which manifests as epileptic seizures.

Background: Knowledge about the relation between user involvement in the provision of assistive technology and outcomes of assistive technology use is a prerequisite for the development of efficient service delivery strategies. However, current knowledge is limited, particularly from low-income countries where affordability is an issue. The objective was therefore to explore the relation between o

Summary. The optimal mode of delivery of a haemophilia carrier expecting a child is still a matter of uncertainty and debate. The aim of this commentary/review is to suggest that normal vaginal delivery should be the recommended mode of delivery for the majority of carriers, based on review of studies on obstetric aspects of haemophilia. About 2.0-4.0% of all haemophilia boys born in countries wit

Norovirus (NoV) is a major cause of gastroenteritis. NoV genotype II.4 (GII.4) is the predominant genotype in health care settings but the reason for this finding is unknown. Stool samples containing isolates with a known NoV genotype from 2,109 patients in Denmark (patients consulting a general practitioner or outpatient clinic, inpatients, and patients from foodborne outbreaks) were used to dete

Här bedrivs forskning inom ämnet fri konst, teater, musik och musikpedagogik. Forskningen kännetecknas av olika former av kunskap och influeras av många olika områden. Fakulteten samarbetar även med andra konstnärliga lärosäten i landet kring forskarutbildning för dResearch at the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts are carried out at the Inter Arts Center and the three academies: art, theatre, and music. The faculty conducts research in fine art, theatre, music, and music pedagogy. Research in the fine and performing arts is characterized by diverse forms of knowledge and influences from many different areas. The Faculty of Arts also collaborates with other

Handelsrätt är ett juridiskt ämne, som handlar om de regler och normer som har betydelse för ekonomisk verksamhet, nationellt såväl som internationellt. Handelsrätten reglerar företagens verksamhet och är alltså den samlande beteckningen på de olika delar av juridiken som är speciellt viktiga för företaget. Hit räknas t ex avtalsrätt, bolagsrätt, skatterätt, arbetsrätt, immaterialrätt och konkurreBusiness law is a legal discipline focused on the norms and rules that impact the business sector, both nationally in Sweden and internationally. Business law regulates companies’ operations and is an umbrella term covering the braches of law that are especially important for businesses. This covers, for example, contract law, corporate law, tax law, labour law, intellectual property law and compe

Currently, the focus of the group’s research has been on the relationship between room acoustics and voice use in teachers. This work, supported by AFA insurance, examines the prevalence and aetiology of voice disorders in teachers in Southern Sweden, applying a blend of techniques: questionnaires, high-speed laryngeal imaging, acoustic and perceptual voice analysis, and field studies of voice use

Available HIV treatments are unsatisfactory since they don’t clear the infection and result in expensive and life‐long treatment on an every‐day basis without clear evidence of the long‐term consequences and side effects of this. Our research is highly translational and combines clinical, experimental and bioinformatics research in various systems virology approaches to uncover nocel key virus-hos

Målet med vår forskning är att utveckla nya behandlingsformer för barn med svårbehandlad epilepsi. Epilepsi är en av våra vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomar och karakteriseras av återkommande krampanfall. 60 miljoner människor världen över lider av epilepsi och det kan drabba vem som helst. Dock är risken högst bland barn och äldre. Idag finns inget botemedel mot epilepsi. De behandlingsformer sBeing one of the most common neurological diseases, epilepsy affect 60 million people worldwide. It is characterized by perennial seizures and it does not discriminate between young and old. In fact the highest risk of onset is among children and elderly. Until this day there is no cure for epilepsy, the therapies available only treat symptoms and come with severe side effects. In addition, one t
