Lund Hemodynamic Lab was initiated in 2010 by Göran Rådegran in order to provide high quality investigations, essential in risk assessment in guidance of PAH therapies & listing for transplantation & utilizing myocardial biopsies in steering of immunosuppression to prevent rejection after transplantation.
Itch is a major symptom of skin disease. Yet, until the last thirty years the investigation of itch has been ignored by researchers. One important reason has been the lack of reliable and sensitive measurement. We can only indirectly measure different aspects of itch perception which is performed on several levels of the nervous system. Physiological itch participates in the defence of the organis
In many fields of science, solving large sparse systems of linear equations is a critical task. Direct solvers often fall out favour due to their high computational costs and memory requirements. Iterative solvers alleviate this issue but run the risk of converging slower than satisfactory when the associated matrix is ill-conditioned and has poorly distributed eigenvalues. This work will focus on
Our mission is to establish a major trans-faculty bio-imaging center at Lund University (Lund University Bioimaging Center), combining knowledge in the fields of medical physics, preclinical and clinical medicine, chemistry, technology and applied mathematics in order to develop imaging methods for the advanced study of human morphology, cellular metabolism and physiological function in health and
Fascineras du också av hjärnan och dess komplexitet men också av hur nya tekniker och den snabba utvecklingen inom bioteknologi kan öppna upp för helt nya behandlingar? Då kan vår forskning vara något för dig! Vårt fokus är på att utveckla avancerade terapier såsom cell- och genterapi för Parkinsons sjukdom. Vi arbetar också hårt för att hitta ett botemedel för en av de mest fruktansvärda sjukdomaAre you intrigued by the brain and its complexity, as well as by new technologies and the amazing developments in biotechnology? Then our research may be for you. Our main focus is on developing advanced therapeutical medical products (ATMPs), such as cell and gene therapy for Parkinson's disease. We are also working to treat one of the most devastating disorders of the human brain: glioblastomas,
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease, and a rapidly growing cause of musculoskeletal disability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life in an ageing European population. Our aims are to gain novel insights into osteoarthritis - its etiology, occurrence, natural history, treatments, prediction, disease monitoring, and disease burden - to allow for better care, decision making,
In diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients. Cell membranes hinder the diffusional motion and thereby contribute to the contrast in dMRI. Thus, the diffusion of water molecules is used a probe of tissue microstructure. Data from dMRI is often analysed using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which yields image biomarkers that reflecIn diffusion MRI (dMRI), images are sensitised to water diffusion by the application of magnetic field gradients.

This paper constructs a new chronology of the business cycle in the United Kingdom from 1700 on an annual basis and from 1920 on a quarterly basis to 2010. The new chronology points to several observations about the business cycle. First, the cycle has significantly increased in duration and amplitude over time. Second, contractions have become less frequent but are as persistent and costly as at
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
Pinus sylvestris (tall) är en betydelsefull trädart i Sverige och Europa, både ekonomiskt och kulturellt sett. Trädet infekteras dock av den destruktiva rottickan (Heterobasidion spp.) vilket resulterar i stora ekonomiska förluster inom skogsindustrin, med en uppskattad monetär förlust på ca 800 miljoner EUR årligen i Europa. Det är svårt att upptäcka svampen i tidiga infektionsstadier eftersom inPinus sylvestris (Scots pine) is an important tree species in Sweden and Europe, both economically and culturally. However, the highly destructive root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp. infect P. sylvestris and cause major economic losses in the forest industry, estimated to about 800 million EUR annually in Europe alone. Detection of the fungus in early stages is hard, as the infection mainly stays i
Uppsatsen har undersökt huruvida spelföretaget Star Stable Entertainment AB marknadsföring av virtuella valutor och produkter till barn bryter mot EU:s konsumentskyddslagstiftning i ljuset av Sveriges Konsumenters anmälan mot företaget. Uppsatsen har även diskuterat om direktivet om otillbörliga affärs-metoder är anpassat för den digitala miljön med hänsyn till kommissionens aktuella fitness checkThe essay analyses whether the gaming company Star Stable Entertainment AB´s marketing of virtual currencies and other virtual products against chil-dren violates EU consumer law, considering the Swedish Consumers Associ-ation’s complaint against the company. The paper also discusses whether the Unfair Commercial Practice Directive (UCPD) is fit for the digital environ-ment, given the European Com
BioMS is the national infrastructure for biological mass spectrometry (MS). BioMS offers access to qualified projects in proteogenomics, targeted protein quantitation, glycoproteomics, hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS, glycomics, lipidomics, and chemical proteomics. Detailed information and the project application forms can be found at www.bioms.se. BioMS is hosted by Lund University with support fr
Foundations of buildings and structures are laid with various methods, both deep and shallow foundations. Piling is the most common method of deep foundations while spread footings are often used in shallow foundations, especially in buildings with column frame. An alternative is to use a composite pile foundation where piles and spread footings or piles and a base slab are used to carry the loads
Vårt arbete syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur yttre miljöfaktorer påverkar hudsjukdom, speciellt eksem och med fokus på kontaktallergi. Kontaktallergi förekommer hos nästan 30% av den vuxna befolkningen. Det allergiska kontakteksemet kan ses var som helst på kroppen, ofta på händerna. Kliniskt kan man inte skilja eksem orsakat av inre faktorer, endogent eksem, och eksem orsakat av yttre faktoreThe work is focused on increasing our knowledge of the effect the environment has on the skin, and particularly with regard to contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis. About 30% of the adult population has contact allergy. The allergic contact dermatitis can affect any part of the body but most often it affects the hands. Clinically it is impossible to differentiate a dermatitis caused by
