Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor. Ovarialcancer upptäcks ofta sent och prognosen är därför dålig. Den relativa 5-årsöverlevnaden är mindre än 50%, jämfört med >80% för bröstcancer. Den idag rådande uppfattningen är att det som kallas ovarialcancer i själva verket är olika sjukdomar, med skillnader i var de uppkommer, vilka egenskaper de har och hur de svarar på behandling. Breast and ovarian cancers are complex and heterogeneous, and share several features, including genetic predisposition caused by BRCA1/2 mutations. Ovarian cancer is however associated with poor survival relative to breast cancer. Utilizing comprehensive biobanks, high-throughput omics methods and in vitro model systems we aim to advance our understanding of tumour evolution, disease heterogeneity

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 useCurrently, the focus of the group’s research has been on the relationship between room acoustics and voice use in teachers.

Avdelningen för partikel- och kärnfysik spänner brett över subatomär fysik och agerar till stor del inom internationella forskningsmiljöer. Vi bedriver experimentell och teoretisk forskning med kolliderexperiment. Vi sysslar med sökningar av mörk materia, grundläggande fysik med neutroner, kärnstruktur och kärnreaktioner på gränsen för kärnstabilitet, samt studerar konstgjord radioaktivitet i miljThe Division of Particle and Nuclear Physics spans broad across subatomic physics and acts largely within international research environments. We conduct experimental and theoretical research with collider experiments. We are engaged in dark-matter searches, fundamental physics with neutrons, nuclear structure and nuclear reactions at the limits of nuclear stability, as well as studying man-made r

Forskarna inom detta område arbetar med forskning om bruk, skadligt bruk och beroende av alkohol och andra droger, ofta ur ett socialvetenskapligt perspektiv. Även beroendeproblem kopplade till spel om pengar och dopning berörs. Forskningen rör såväl människors livsvillkor och erfarenheter som vårdens, socialtjänstens och andra samhällsaktörers arbete. Forskningen har en bred metodologisk ansats oResearchers in this area study the use, harmful use, and dependence on alcohol and other drugs, often from a social science perspective. Gambling-related addiction problems and doping are also included. The research addresses both people’s living conditions and experiences, and the work of healthcare services, social services, and other societal actors. It takes a broad methodological approach and

Caption: Most patients are in a coma the first days after a cardiac arrest. Clinical tests of brain stem function, neurophysiological methods (EEG and SSEP), imaging (CT and MRI) and measurements of biomarkers in the blood are used to assess the extent of brain injury.

Vårt övergripande forskningsmål är att hitta nya sätt att behandla patienter med metastaserande bröstcancer. Även om stora framsteg i hur vi behandlar bröstcancerpatienter har gjorts under de senaste decennierna så får många patienter fortfarande återfall och metastaserande bröstcancer är fortfarande en obotlig sjukdom. Genom att identifiera signalvägar som är aktiva i metastaser och studera riktaOur ultimate research goal is to find improved ways to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer. Although significant progress in treatment strategies has been made during the last decades, many breast cancer patients still relapse and to date metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable disease. We aim to identify the signalling pathways active in recurrent disease in order to study response

Gruppen leds av professor Christina Brogårdh, där flera seniora och juniora forskare ingår samt doktorander. I gruppen ingår också en gästprofessor och personer som är anställda vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Forskningen och undervisningen som bedrivs i gruppen innefattar flera olika områden, såsom: -Neurorehabilitering; tex återhämtning och fatigue efter stroke, nya rehabiliteringsmetoder förThe group is led by Professor Christina Brogårdh, and includes senior and junior researchers as well as doctoral students. A visiting professor and persons employed at Skåne University Hospital are also affiliated to the group. The research and teaching comprises several areas: - Neurorehabilitation; such as recovery and fatigue after stroke; new rehabilitation methods to improve sensorimotor fu

This work proposes a novel design for secure cloud storage systems using a third party to meet three seemingly opposing demands: reduce storage requirements on the cloud, protect against erasures (data loss), and maintain confidentiality of the data. More specifically, we achieve storage cost reductions using data deduplication without requiring system users to trust that the cloud operates honest

Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with

Our aim is to be a leading center of excellence within the field of national and international public health and to promote high quality research, education, and applied knowledge. The primary areas of research are sexual and reproductive health and rights, maternal and child health, youth health, social capital, health policy, marginalized populations, mental health, violence, substance abuse, ri

IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, portends higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with quantifiable impairment in quality of life. While physical activity is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, recent evidence challenges its role in the development of AF. OBSERVATIONS: Emerging data suggest a U-shaped rel
