Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är världens vanligaste dödsorsak. Det främsta underliggande tillståndet är ateroskleros: plack som bildas i blodkärlens väggar och kan orsaka akuta komplikationer, såsom hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Genom vår forskning ämnar vi identifiera kliniska metoder som kan hjälpa oss att hitta plack med hög komplikationsrisk, för att i tid kunna ge adekvat förebyggande behandling. Vi vill äveCardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death. The main underlying condition is atherosclerosis: plaques formed in the arteries which can cause complications as stroke or myocardial infarction. Our research aims to prevent complications by identifying clinical methods to detect patients with high-risk plaques to personalize treatment strategies as well as novel mechanisms to use as ther

Existing metastatic disease represents a major clinical challenge. The long-term goal of our study is to gain deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis. We focus on identification and validation of new predictive biomarkers and drug targets that are specifically for metastatic cancer. We recently focus on studying the role of lipid kinases in particular, phosphatidyl

Aim: It is unknown whether food allergies have greater impact on quality of life than respiratory allergies. This study compared health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children allergic to wheat or grass. Methods: We surveyed 63 children with wheat allergies (median age of five) and 72 with grass allergies (median age 12), with their parents. The Child Health Questionnaires for parents (CHQ-PF2

Hudcancer, inklusive malignt melanom, keratinocytcancer (tidigare icke-melanomhudcancer) och också mer sällsynta hudcancerdiagnoser ökar snabbt i de flesta ljushyade populationer. En hudcancerdiagnos ger inte bara inverkan på hälsoekonomiska mätvärden utan också främst på individens livskvalitet. I vår forskargrupp fokuserar vi på kliniskt baserad och registerbaserad hudcancerforskning men även tiSkin cancers, including malignant melanoma, keratinocyte cancer (formerly non- melanoma skin cancer) and also more rare skin cancers are increasing rapidly in most fair-skinned populations. A skin cancer diagnosis has impact not only on health economics but also on the quality of life of the individual. In our research group we focus on clinical skin cancer research as well as on translational ski

Hållbarhet och beredskap är tätt sammankopplade när det gäller livsmedelsproduktion. Sveriges livsmedelssystem är sårbart: mycket av maten produceras utomlands och en stor del av vår livsmedelsproduktion är beroende av foder och gödsel som transporteras hit via långa logistikkedjor. Livsmedelssystemet är byggt för kostnadseffektivitet runt några få centrala noder, med minimal lagerhållning och kor

Forskargruppen Vård i högteknologisk miljö fokuserar på att utveckla vården i komplexa situationer och vårdmiljöer. Genom att använda non-invasiva metoder såsom VR, maskininlärning och datadrivna strategier fokuseras forskningen på att skapa individanpassade, effektiva vårdlösningar som sträcker sig över hela livscykeln. I forskargruppen utforskas och bedrivs pedagogiska utvecklingsprojekt med syfThe research group Care in High-Tech Environments focuses on advancing healthcare in complex situations and care settings. By utilising non-invasive methods such as VR, machine learning, and data-driven strategies, the research aims to develop personalised, efficient care solutions that span the entire lifecycle. The group also explores and conducts educational development projects aimed at enhanc

Introduction There is a great need for quick tests that identify treatment response in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to determine who benefits from the treatment. In this study, A Quick Test of cognitive speed (AQT) was compared with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) in the evaluation of treatment outcome in AD. Methods 75 patients with mild to moderate AD at a memory clinic were assessed with

Abstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. infestans, there is a need to explore several new approaches th

Institutionens verksamhet spänner över stora delar av IT-området: från telekommunikation via antenner till artificiell intelligens: från grundläggande teori via algoritmer till implementering på kisel och medicinsk system. Digital information används numera i snart sagt alla sammanhang; digital radio och TV, internet och mobiltelefoni är bara några exempel. Framtidens apparater och system kommer The Department of EIT conducts high-quality research in a variety of areas within electrical engineering and computer science and the activities span a large part of the ICT-area. About 100 people are active in research, divided in seven research laboratories. These are Broadband Communications, Communications Engineering, Electromagnetic Theory, Integrated Electronic Systems, Nano Electronics, Ne

Quick clay has a major impact on landslide risk and it is therefore of considerable interest to map its presence and extent. In Sweden, quick clay has been involved in most landslides in soft clay with serious consequences. The predominant method for detection of quick clay in Sweden has been to take undisturbed samples and to perform fall-cone tests on the clay in its undisturbed and remoulded st
