Background: Previous studies have reported an increased fracture risk after bariatric surgery. Objective: To investigate the association between different bariatric surgery procedures and fracture risk. Methods: Incidence rates and hazard ratios for fracture events were analysed in the Swedish Obese Subjects study; an ongoing, nonrandomized, prospective, controlled intervention study. Hazard ratio
We aim to identify novel interventions for prevention and treatment of diabetes-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our strategy is to identify genetic, endocrine and metabolic disturbances in humans which are causally related to disease development and are detectable many years before disease presents. We then test in both animals and in human intervention studies if manipulation of such molecu

Gruppens huvudsakliga forskningsområde är systemisk behandling av spridd cancersjukdom med hjälp av terapeutiska radionuklider. För att optimera dosleveransen till tumörceller konjugeras radionukliderna till målsökande molekyler, t.ex. antikroppar, som söker sig till cancerspecifika antigen. Olika behandlingsstrategier utvärderas prekliniskt för bästa effektivitet. Multimodala bildgivande system The main research area of the group is systemic treatment of metastasized cancer using therapeutic radionuclides. To optimize dose delivery to tumor cells, radionuclides are conjugated to tracer molecules, e.g. antibodies or antibody fragments, targeting cancer-specific epitopes. Preclinical evaluation of treatment combinations and strategies aim to improve treatment efficacy. Multimodality imagin
Centrum för ekonomisk demografi består av ett trettiotal medarbetare inom ekonomisk historia, nationalekonomi, samhällsmedicin, social arbete och statistik som i sin forskning tar upp ekonomiska samhällsfrågor med koppling till demografi ur ett historiskt och internationellt perspektiv. 2006 beviljades centret ett av de 20 s.k. Linnéstöd som ingår i Vetenskapsrådets nya satsning på långsiktig finaThe Centre for Economic Demography consists of more than thirty collaborators in economic history, economics, social medicine, social work and statistics that in their research focus on socioeconomic issues from a historical and international demographic perspective. In 2006 the Centre was awarded one of the so-called Linnaeus grants that form part of the Swedish Research Councils new emphasis on
Forskningen på avdelningen är mångsidig och länkas samman genom seminariet i medierad kultur och information. Forskningen genomsyras av en kritisk analys av digitaliseringen av kultur och samhälle som inkluderar forskningsteman såsom kulturarvsinstitutioner, informationens infrastruktur, kulturpolitik, förlag, bokmarknad, konsumtion och digitalt vardagsliv, läsning, lyssning och förändrade litteraThe research conducted at the division is multifaceted and include several disciplines, all of which get regularly presented at our joint seminar “Mediated Culture and Information. A critical analytical perspective on the digitalization of culture and society permeates our research, which focuses on themes such as cultural heritage institutions, infrastructures of information, cultural policy and
